in TERA PC - General Discussion
As title suggessts I am trying to pick which to play, my current class option in mind are Ninja Slayer or warrior, which one would you say is better for the end game? I liike melee combat, but which would provide more of a sustained damage output?

    Ninja>Slayer>Warrior for Dam

    With your input I will try out ninja first then. I watched a few videos one the three classes to see how they were, and I am not familiar with TERA's damage numbers at max level but i saw a ninja doing what seemed to be a lot of damage, most if not all of the damage numbers during the fighting were around 85,000-150,000 damage.

    Ninjas are the newest of the classs right and therefore op right now, so what you saw was correct. Slayers are decent as well, Warriors are pretty bad until they 'fix' it this coming summer.

    1. Ninja.
    2. Brawler-fast finding and joining a pve group
    3. Brawler-best for solo
    4. Brawler-fun in raid pvp.

    meh, i dislike ninja's face ._. is weird, their mouth is just so small.

    but the brawler is just now a good farm-grind-pve-pvp-dps-tank character, i mean it have more defense than a lancer, hit harder than a gunner, its a broken class.

    Okay now a second question, since I didn't really get too far when i quit playing what would you say would be a good choice out of slayer and ninja for a new player?
  • LaraBladesLaraBlades ✭
    Ninja's combo's are very easy to use and their dps is way over powered compared to the slayer. Starting with the Ninja, you'll find you will level a lot faster to 65 then the slayer. Sadly, the Slayer won't get up to it's prime until 60 but it's old school tera so if you don't play the Ninja, you won't know what you are missing unless you watch other players killing stuff about twice as fast with no down time while you level.

    During the Ninja introduction, we had double xp so I was able to level a ninja to 60 solo in two days and then to 65 the next weekend. After I played the Ninja for the rest of the weekend, I haven't played her since. I find my warrior can kill faster but I've been playing a warrior for a couple years and so I have the combat rotation down when I solo. Folks here are saying Ninja is higher dps but I didn't see it. I suppose with finer tuning of the gear and skills, it would boost it's dps but I didn't like the fact that if the Ninja got touched by a mob, you lost 10% of your dps. Now I will say the Ninja, played properly, should not take any damage. But the same should be said about most of the classes in Tera. I play very aggressive with my warrior and will use every skill that the warrior can use. I found the Ninja too simple. But the Ninja will spoil you due to it's fast game play and avoidance to damage. Only class that comes close to fast feeling would be a Brawler.

    Play what you want. Embrace your class and make the most of it. Have fun and welcome back.

    Yeah i think i mentioned it above, i looked at a few of the higher level game-play videos for a few of the classes and brawler looked like it was also dishing out some damage, but I think I read somewhere that brawler was more of a tank, but I will just roll with ninja and see how it goes.
  • YeisYeis ✭
    Yeah, since a few people said that ninja was op i am expecting a fix at some point.

    Yeah, brawler was a steam roller in PvE and PvP when it came out. Brawler got really nailed in PvP and it's going to get hit again in PvP from what I'm reading. Gunner got nerfed and so will the Ninja. Enjoy playing Tera while you can. It all boils down to style of game play you will enjoy.

    Would love to say that, but if BHS doesn't learn, they will nerf what we have now and make a new OP class. So we would be back to square one.

    Ninjas are good for solo as well due to the fact that early game is easy to learn, making it easy to solo or duo/triple dungeons at least until Golden Labyrnth

    Just bear in mind that Brawler were OP and still are OP, that's been a fact for half a year now... and are still OP even in KTERA (about some months ahead). So 'fixes' in TERA-universe are... pretty damn slow.
