edited February 2017 in TERA PC - General Discussion
Hi, I am new to Tera, and I can't decide which class to level. I am wondering what the main differences are between slayer and warrior? They seem similar. Obviously I am talking about dps warrior, not tank. If anyone could help that would be great.

Edit: Thanks everyone for all the replies, wasn't expecting this many. I decided to play warrior. If anyone wants to play with me that would be cool My name is Alissah and I am on TR.

    warrior is actually good

    Slayer is a slow burst dps, and warrior is a fast sustained dps, at the moment warrior far outshines slayer, as slayer has been left behind and has had very few and minor updates.

    When you say warrior, the first thought that goes through a person's head should be dps, not tank. So it shouldn't even have to be specified, cause warriors aren't tanks.

    Also warriors just got their revamp so they're a helluva lot stronger than slayers. It's just not the time for slayers.

    Types of Slayers:

    <> Slayer:
    Type 1: The Invisible Man. This Slayer is a member of your party but you forgot it was there. Doesn't die very often, if at all, but doesn't seem to contribute any DPS either. You swear it's hitting the boss but there's no sign of damage anywhere.

    Type 2: WTF. A Slayer can do this much damage? This Slayer out-DPS's your entire party. If you meet this Slayer in IMS, prepare to be carried. Although rare, a few sightings of this Slayer indicate that it still exists in the wild.

    I think Paladins here summarized it quite nicely.

    Currently, Warrior is a generally superior class. It doesn't look like we'll be seeing a rework for Slayer especially soon, as Lunar Dancer or whatever's supposed to come out first.

    If you want to fling yourself at high speed with twin swords looking like a badass while tearing everything apart, choose Warrior.

    If you want to practice for hours on end, building the perfect setup and skill rotation to become a badass, choose Slayer.

    slayer sucks it sucked b4 n sucks now

    war still sucks tryhard class (too much effort)

    See I'm least honest gg

    The main different between warrior and slayer is on the att speed.
    Like you said they are very similar, decent mobility, iframe, chain combat skill at max level.
    Warrior leveling pretty straight forward, slayer leveling until u reach level 16 get overhand strike, then u feel your world is changing.
    About the skill rotation for slayer... sorry it all depend on your luck on skill cd reset glyph pop up or no.

    I mean slayer is far from as trash as people make it out to be, I can reach a million plus per second, (Imperator weapon) but you have to tryhard it to achieve those numbers while other classes exceed that with ease, but it's not like slayer is absolute garbage like everyone makes it seem.

    Also slayer is a little more ping friendly than warrior.

    I don't know I often find myself keeping up just fine with sorc and archer. Granted it does require more practice and experience to get there, but the fact that DPS isn't just handed to you like in the newer and revamped classes does tend to turn people away.

    Also I don't argue that it's a good class, I know it's a trashcan, I am just saying it's not nearly as garbage as people like you seem to think it is.

    Edit: Also to bring us back on topic, Warrior has a higher potential than Slayer does at the moment.

    slayer is literrly the worst DPS in the game. it's trash. the class fundamentally doesn't work, in the way it was meant to be designed. the entire point of the slower attacks is to do more damage than the faster attacking classes. however every other class does as much, if not more damage than you do.

    until it get's it's full rework it's trash. and BHS thinks it's fine because of Slaying runs for [filtered] sake.

    every slayer main left is jumping to lunar Dancer once it get's released, because that's the kinda of damage slayer should be doing. maybe once no one plays slayer it will finally get it's 3+ years work of buffs it needed back in Fate Of Arun.

    again Slayer is pure trash. you would have to be blind to not see it. it fills no role, and has to many disadvantages.
    This practically. Don't pick Slayer unless you're dedicated to the thematics and gameplay. It's a class that's consistently at the bottom of the dps rung. See also: Wonderholme era, Timescape to FINM era, Manglemore to now. Not only that, but it's a class that has always offered zero, zip, zilch to party utility. To add insult to injury, it's the class that has the hardest time knocking down and staggering the 2nd boss in RMHM right now - entirely ironic considering that the whole identity of the class was designed around knockdowns. They even has a skill called "Knockdown Strike" ffs.

    I didn't know WH/TS/FI era that slayer was the bottom DPS. I only know is very hard to meet skilled slayer that really know what they need to do.

    Go slayer, the slayer revamp is inc Soon TM, even tho it's not out on KTERA atm it will be here in 2017, at least then you'll have a slayer with more damage than a revamped war

    Ahahahaha. Nice joke! You forgot about no talent system outside of KTERA. Talent system is what make Slayers special in KTERA.
