Would it be worth to hyperburn a Paladin for CW... the pros and cons of the class and bossing?

Heya heya, Paladin is not a bad choice for cw or burning. I do think that Mihile is a level above Paladin, however, that's not what you're here for, haha.

I'll speak from experience and my opinion on the class.

Pros:
1 - Awesome survivability (can survive almost all one shot mechanics).
2- Decent dmg (you'll be able to do all the bosses in the game).
3- Has a really long self-iframe.
4- Mobbing is good enough especially when you unlock Janus.
5- Has a mini-burst (really good).
6- Doesn't require too much funding to get popping.

Cons:
1- Needs a teammate to display their full dmg.
2- Explorer warriors have a weird up jump...
3- Over reliance on dmg reduction leads to poor hands (might lead to bad performance in bosses like Darknell, BM, Seren, Kalos, etc...).
4- Not the best self-link skill available.
5- Doesn't fair well off-burst.
6- Could get boring from how simple the class is.

I don't play the class that often, but I have tried it and it's good enough.

Alright, Mihile is a bit special.

Pros:
1- Ultimate survivability (can almost be in iframe for 24/7)
2- Super simple to play in both grinding and bossing.
3- Has a good party support.
4- Good dmg overall for solo bossing.
5- Most of his skills are purely defensive (could be a con depending on how you look at it).
6- Doesn't require too much funding to get popping.
7- Satisfying when you nail his timings.

Cons:
1- The timing for his shield requires practice.
2- His mobility isn't the best.
3- Has an awkward up jump similar to Paladin.
4- Doesn't have the same dmg reduction like Paladins do, but counteracts it with his almost 24/7 iframe state (be careful if you're used to Paladin's playstyle).
5- Doesn't have a mini-burst.
6- Doesn't fair that well off-burst.
7- Can get really boring to play similar to Paladin.
8- Similiar to Paladin, he doesn't have a useful link skill.
9- You might lose hands once you get very comfortable playing Mihile (relience on iframes when you're about to take oneshot abilities).

Note that both Paladin and Mihile are both 3 min classes. But that'll change later on once all the classes become 2 mins :D!

That's really debatable, since every update brings something new, Paladin might be better this update, but mihile would be better during the next update and so on. Currently with the new update, the dmg difference between both is not huge, so in terms of survivability I would still say Mihile is still above Paladin, regardless of if his dmg is a bit lower than Paladin.

@thick loom Sorry for the ping, but do you have those pro's and con's list for all classes?

[thick loom]

Well, I've tried all the classes and I know most of the pro's and con's :p, so feel free to dm me instead since this is a specific question post! @icy juniper
