The best pve classes right now are Striker, Nova, Hash, Wiz/Witch and Guardian. Honorable mentions are Sorc, Valk and Lahn (they're strong but I don't see them nearly as much). I only see these classes in end game grind spots. Notice how these classes are all new classes except for wiz and witch because we know that they are just broken classes in every aspect of the game. I understand that the tagging system was put in this game and that is an option for people like me who don't want to reroll simply to get our moneys worth out of the hours we put into our gameplay and EXP and Weapon Coupons are also an option for people who don't want to spend money on tagging. I'm not sure if Pearl Abyss intends for older classes to diminish and be replaced by newer classes but that's currently the trend. I play a 291 kutum ap awk dk and I get more money playing a 270ap valk that I'm not even good with. Please buff the under performing classes so the choice of rerolling or tagging is determined based on gameplay preference and not money per hour.

So you decided to wait until major PVE boosts where recently given to multiple classes to post this?

Well they buffed them recently, though it obviously wasn't that large to make them top tier from trash.

Well I was hoping that the buffs would be better but obviously they don't have an idea of whats going on in the pve world

Don't bother responding to Retteo, he doesn't even play, as evident by the fact that he didn't realize that some of the weaker classes got brought up slightly, even tho that buff still has them begging for scraps in the PvE Department.

BTW from a Ranger to an Awk DK, I feel your pain man I really do.  It's sad that I can use a 900 SP lvl 60 warrior and almost double my Trash Per Hour at some grind spots when compared to my 2300 SP lvl 62 Ranger, while using less AP, sweating less, and not even using a full set of buffs, because I don't have to.

Ranger's Gear Value 80b, Warrior's Gear value 15b.

Wouldn't call a 5% increase in damage on all their core damage skills a major PVE boost. Espically the one kuno got "20% more damage on dance mecabra" ya that like giving left click a 50% increase in damage completely pointless. Dance mecabra a movement skill that also used to animation cancel some of kuno's skills it not used for damage cause even after the 20% increase it still does terrible damage.

Make succ warr great again too! :D :P It's still on the bottom.

+1

what you are talking about here is a major balance issue. 

however, PA will not yield on this because this is a tentative monetization structure that is working well at the moment.

bringing all the other classes up to the grinding GOD level of new(er) classes or favored classes won't happen.

if PA made the change you are requesting they could potentially lose money. you are probably telling yourself; "but that's a double-edged sword!?" "if this does not change then ill quit and they will still lose money so what gives!?" PA will eventually release changes to underperforming classes but it will come in the form of baby steps, much like the ones we had recently with musa, tamer, and mystic etc...

do yourself a favor and tag one of the top grinding classes so you don't lose value on your time and loot scrolls. then wait. 

Succ Warrior is miles ahead of the pack, not as good as awakening warrior, but better than 70% of the roster in PvE.....

Just +1ing by own post. I'm really happy to see pvp balance coming into the game, I really hope its met with a PVE balance in the following months. Preferably soon.
