New player looking for DPS class

Hi there,

I´m a new player to Terra and play a Lancer. I like him but I want to play a high dps class(PVE). I´m not sure which i should play. I want high damage per second. And it would be good if you could consider the next patch. I´m open for any suggestions.

Thank you

    If you're new I would suggest starting with the class that most appeals to you and play it to around level 20 (or a little higher) and then try a different class to a similar level. You have 2 character slots as standard so you can then simply delete the one you dislike and either continue with the other or start a new one.

    Levelling to 20 isn't hard or slow (once you know the basics) and you get a fair impression of most classes by the time you get access to glyphs (level 20), the only exception would be Warrior which is a much more complex class and you only get a good feel of that once you can do Blade Draw resets.

    As for overall DPS rate, BHS goes through periods of class rebalancing so the same classes aren't always top of the DPS tree, and usually skill matters more than class. Currently though Ninja is near the top but Sorcerer is likely to move to the top when the class revamp arrives.

    1. ninja - just easy and strong in pve. Good class to learn dungeons
    2. archer - easier. Will be revamped after sorc one. You need some low ping
    3. sorc - revamp. you need to know boss pattern well.
    4. war- revamp after archer/ hope
    5. reaper - easier to manage manas without blue dyad/ rare cystal
    6. slayer - harder to deal with mana without rare crystal on defense gear. Main skill animation gets locked or too long. Sometimes, overhand skill cancelling is still too late for 1ko boss pettern.
    7. zerker - you need to be a master to be good. You need some low ping.
    8. gunner - easy/ decent dps/ tough but slow with actually 1 defendable iframe. No fun for me.

    same skill and same gear Ninja beats zerker in pve. Zerker is better in pvp.

    I love my archer, the DPS is great and my connection is responsive enough, but whenever the tank doesn't generate enough aggro, I have the bosses chasing me during most of the boss fights, which requires me to learn their patterns and know when to evade.
