  Oh by the way i forgot to mention about the characters capabilities like evasive maneuvers, blocking and dodging. That help me a lot so please consider them too. Thanks again.

  If it's about expanding your income and you like how fast ninja and brawler burn the bams down, then just make another ninja or brawler.

  After playing reaper for awhile, I took Mystic to 65, in equal gear, my Mystic is about twice as fast at killing the same BAM in the same gear, with thier ability to reduce defense, CC high mobility BAMs that go nuts and jump around, 2 pets attacking at any time and you not having to dodge attacks, if you get a dense enough area with 3-4 BAMs, your pet can tank all of them and you can use Contagian or whatever it is, which is 15k dmg/s on everything around the infected target, then Volley of Curses stacks 2 or 3 times, that's another 3 or 4k/s, you tank pet hits for 150k per hit every 2 or 3 secs, the vegence thrall does another 200k per sec or more, and your curruption ring can crit for 800k-1mil per hit, for up to 10 hits with only a 10 sec CD between casting, all this is going on in a normal rotation and 3-4 BAMs at any given time is not unheard of- especially if they keep knocking each other down.
  
  If you glyph it, every 5 minutes you can summon a wrath thrall, and I have pulled it out and watched it kill BAMs before it vanishes, in dungeons, it's taken 20X boss bars down 2-3 bars in one combo, it's pretty ridiculous. Mystic is more than just a healer, but it's not sustainable damage like a Sorcerer.
  
  Besides that, Reaper has been good to me on BAMs, they are selfhealing and heavy critting.

  yeah wrath thrall for his few seconds out is like ninja level hits, but then if you glyphed right and have cdr on weapon and etchings can reduce it down to about every two or three mins calling him. and on onyx hydraths you can self heal off the DOTs by using either your own motes or fairy thrall. and yeah, with mystic at least I noticed doing two hydraths not a problem, but just have to remember range limits when trying to get more than one, like in the case of nagas generally too spread out to just get one...

  Well, Gunner would be one choice. heavy armor with tons of maneuverability and heavy damage, slayer if your looking to use a sword and roll around alot, it could be argued warrior's pretty good but you need to know what your doing and how to use your combo's . The three classes ya don't want for this, would be as follows Archer,lancer,zerker. While zerkers do pretty okay damage if you're looking for maneuverable you won't be finding it with zerker since they'r is more reliamt on blocking more so then dodging.The other fact, our iframes are also getting nerfed doesn't help.. seriously enmass..[filtered] you for doing that.
  
  Archer while maneuverable isn't really a class yhat does huge damage in pve.lancers?
  
  Well they are a tank class they don't deal nearly as much damage as any specified dps class and they also have a lack of maneuverability to boot. So there's your choices do what ya will best of luck.

  
  Lancer is actually one of the best classes for IOD. It takes around 10-12 minutes for me to finish the 3 vg quests for high tier bam. But this is coming from highly geared lancer using high level rotations and playing the class for a long time as my main. So the result will differ with different people. Lancers are actually very good in pve damage; it depends how the person plays lancer.

  While lancer is like one of the best to do IOD, it may or may not be the best choice because it will depend on how the person adapts to it if choosing that class as an alt rather than a main class. It may be a low chance to spend a lot of time to learn lancer while there are other classes that are easier to learn for most people like brawler and ninja. Like others mentioned, it may be best to make another brawler or ninja. But if spending some time to learn lancer and if setup right with good rotations keeping HTL, then lancer may be a good option. But I feel lancer is easier if it's one of your everyday classes that you play on for dungeons too and not just IOD.
