[Reboot GMS] Dawn Warrior or Hero

Hey all,

I mained a Fire Poison a while back when reboot just came out. All though I really enjoy playing FP, one thing that I really don't like about them is there lack of survivability (status resistance, stance, etc). So Im looking for something a little different to get back into 5th job patch with. I cant decide between Hero or DW.

  • Ive heard that DW have a huge dpm drop if high latency (something about the timing of a buff that gives +55% damage?). I have never really noticed lag before except on 2x weekends.
  • One of their attacks, might be the bossing skill, puts you in the air then brings you back down. Ive heard that this effects your dodging capabilities?

And on the other hand, it seems like Heros are pretty straight forward. I know I haven given much on Heros but Id like to hear your personal opinions.

Thanks

They are planning to remove the latency dependency from dawn warrior in the future iirc this has already happened in KMS. I can not speak for hero though but i can for DW. and yes there is a buff that gives u +55% and thats basically from your sun stance. as for your second bullet. DWs boss by using two attacks that chain into 4 you kinda do an upwards slash than an " upper cut" which brings u in the air and your two next skills extend the time you're in the air as well as bring you down( in the form of a downward slash) This may cause some issues with dodging but I personally haven't too much problems this may get some getting use to but DWs are tanky if that helps. I personally find dawn warrior a lot more fun and aesthetically pleasing im pretty sure they have better mobbing than hero's too.One thing I will say is untill u reach 4th job you don't really get to feel like ur playing dawn warrior because the stance switching buff you get really makes a big difference and uh aside from that Leveling a dw will give you it's link skill which is a great incentive if you have any characters struggling with stat resist I hope i helped.

Oh cool! I didnt know they are trying to fix it. I hope they fix it for fifth job. Great response, very informative. Thank you!

No problem, after 100 they're pretty great all the bonus att u got from your previous jobs a long with your buffs makes u pretty good unfunded which is great.Also dont be afraid to make the both of them getting to 100 actually helps you since u can do even more zakum runs... and if u get them past that ranmaru and normal hilla :D

I was watching some bossing videos and some of them dont use the upper cut to down slash. Would that be a huge dpm loss? Or are the other skill still good at bossing?

are you sure? They cud just be doing it really fast that u dont notice, keep in mind upper and down are two skills which split into two different ones with the stance switch ability or it could be lag but I mean thats your main bossing skill being piercing drive? i think its called. There are no other skills u cud use other than your main mobbing skill which isnt as strong as piercing drive. DWs do attack pretty fast

Do you know which patch did they remove the latency dependency? Couldnt find any info. If its the V update I might just make one for the diary.

Can you point out where you heard about the removal of the latency dependency? I browsed through KMS' patch notes back until 5th job and coulnd't find anything on Soul Masters besides patches on Solunar Slash preventing it from crashing the game.

If you're going to consider making a Hero, just be warned that they aren't very good at mobbing in 3rd job and 4th job from lvls 100~150ish.

I started raining a hero and I like it, I'm hitting up to 10m lines in bera on 141% boss and 500k range. The down side is, their 5th job looks super lame.

I was thinking the same thing. Although it looks lame, it does do a lot of damage tho
