DPS aoe'r class

in Console - General Discussion
So I recently started a a thread about Archer (which is already level 65 with Slaughter +12), I also have a Brawler and Reaper with same gear. I've found out with the archer that I miss a little bit gathering a lot of mobs and using a few AoE skills to take them down - not sure if AoE is the right word, but I know with my Brawler I can hit many mobs at the same time - which doesn't apply that well to my Archer, although I love his mobility.

I ended up realizing I really like the whole leveling process of a new character through dungeons, so I was thinking on starting a new one character, still not sure about the classes so here is where I need everyone else's opinion.

I know that I want a DPS class other than Archer, Sorcerer and Reaper; what's the best bet for a class with some interesting AoE skills which doesn't have a steep learning curve?

    Do I have to learn a specific rotation?
  • BaratosBaratos ✭✭
    Not really its not bad most of the class is just positioning. The rotation on a non moving boss is something like. Fiery rage ts cyclone ts vamp raize flatten ts cyclone ts etc. Bloodlust in enrages. Get used to evasive smash while charging preferably cyclone use dash if you want better move speed. 4 ticks of health on overcharged ts and 5 for overcharged cyclone. Cyclone is your big aoe. They are very strong when you learn what to do and when hardest part of the class is mobility and only have one dodge really atm but you will get used to it. The class starts slow but don't let it deter you its very strong and fun. I thought it was boring at first but once you get the hang of it its fast paced and just plain beast
  • SpunkidSpunkid ✭✭
    How would you rate it mobility wise? is it too slow?

    I think you will stop playing other classes once gunner and valkyrie are released... unless you love support class lol

    Can you explain further?
  • MyxMyx ✭✭
    New released classes are always broken dmg wise. No need to explain this further.
  • BaratosBaratos ✭✭
    Its not that slow if you keep dash up its faster than most but the only having one dodge every 5 to 8 seconds depending. You do get a block though. You have no skills that take you to the back or anything. It takes some practice to get good at it but its a rewarding class.

    Lets say in just guile without the best rolls on my jewelery my attacks do between 4.6 and 12 mill for big hits and 1.5 to 4 on smaller ones depending on buffs etc

    I've been watching some vids (I'll be at home in about 6 hours to try it out), what's the thing with the skills consuming HP?

    im not sure cuz im leveling one berserker right now but as far as i saw every skill that has charge it consumes HP , but every sec that u keep that charge up it will increase your damage by alot , and another thing that i could see (not sure) is that when u have HP lower than 40% you hit even harder , yday i did a lvl 50 dungeons with my berserker lv 48 and i did around 400k damage on backcrit , thats alot , now i understand why ppl say that zerk are the strongest DPS , i was saving my feedstock to gunner but right now i changed my mind and i'll stay with berserk ^^

    I'll have to start a zerk lol
  • NewbshankNewbshank ✭✭
    If you like leveling in dungeons just make sixteen brawlers lol.

    Sorcs and Zerks are solid aoe. Just make some on each server and see which ones ya like the most. Hell, even mystic is fun to level (namely since you'll always get insta-ques for dungeons) and you will learn to HATE Necromancers Tomb for the spike boss since you will always have agro 100% as a mystic lol.
  • SpunkidSpunkid ✭✭
    I already have a Brawler so I decided to start a Zerk tonight and if I feel comfortable make use of the leveling event to get him/her to 65 ASAP :)
  • JohnNapalmJohnNapalm ✭✭
    believe me , i made sorcerer , archer . mystic and zerk , most fun to lvl up and play in dgs are mystic and zerk by far , zerk is a bit slow but when u do a backcrit that erase 10% HP of the boss (in the same level) u see how it worth =D
