    It's all pros for all but assassins and BM's. Because these 2 classes are interval dependent in BH's, Nirvana, Warsong, and such. Unless you have the spare money to get the ring and weapon or perhaps get R9 as a alternate armor set on BM for TW(assuming you use axes in TW actively)

    Yep. Ranged DD class that doesn't have aps benefits the most. And Barbs because of the huge HP bonuses and defensive levels make them real hard to kill.

    R9 to psychic yields the greatest pvp potential in 1v1 pvp and group v group in TW. R9 +12 psychic can survive most of everything thrown at them with white voodoo...then they can 1 shot most ppl with black voodoo. They can also self purify if they are sage. They have their own "pseudo stealth" where you can't target them even if they are in front of your eyes. Only class you may have problems with are r9 barbs with ridiculous HP...however other classes have the same issue with r9 barbs.

    Warning, r9 +12 psy is gonna get boring as hell. Unless you fight ppl with higher gear r9s, it will be boring as hell to pvp on an r9 psy just because it's so damn OP

    OP is dreaming of PVP, not aps pve i think. If someone can afford r9, they can afford decent aps as well, i hope.

    If you want to be awesome in PvP get r9 for a Psychic or Wizard or so. Probably Barbarians and Seekers are nice with r9 as well. In my opinion though, you should get r9 for the class you like/play the most so that you actually enjoy playing.

    These guys. Oh, and BMs and clerics. Sins definitely also. Mystics and Venos, too. Catshops, also and you may as well get an r9 pet. Everything but GM class.

    I was gonna say r9 for sin and then use it to farm for the rest, but really the only piece of r9 for a sin that helps them farm is the ring. Even the daggers are easily outdone by G16.

    Psys definitely benefit from the soulforce of R9. Seekers are beasts with R9 being insanely tanky and hard hitting (highest I've been hit in TW was by a seeker). Barbs, Wizzies and Archers all really benefit from R9. BM weapon for pk is great. Too many options really so refer to Desdi's comment.
    Seven 100+ characters leveled the hard way. Free to play. Mystic, Psychic, and Wizard left to level. b:victory

    Well seems that people still suggest r9 fav class....


    The thing is, the reason I made the thread is to try and figure out what class allows for optimal PvP action with ease in PvE, without a massive need of gear changing (i.e. making BM out as I would end up switching back and forth between two different sets for gear).



    The classes I was thinking about r9'ing were:

    Sin - Mainly weapon, taking up to third cast if the add-ons for the next expansions new r9 branch don't get changed

    Psychic - Full set for just the epic "Lulzyoudidnothingtome" effect their soulforce and defense levels can cause

    Wizard - Ok, I admit I love seeing the giant *** numbers :|

    Archer - Range, Purge, Hit like a ****ing tank....



    I am really leaning towards an archer, but I haven't ever experienced what a r9 archer is like vs other characters (unless you count private servers...but I don't seeing as the gearing lvl here vs there is so vastly different :/). So I was unsure of what it would be like if I put a full r9 josd +10/12 archer against something with equal gearing....

    Which class? the one you like best, of course. Every damn class rocks *** with r9 +10~12 gears.

    I have a mostly R9 cleric. I don't have the wep or belt but all the rest and it totally rocks. I am able to solo all bh's through bh 89 and solo FF. I just wish could do it fast enough to make the money on poweleveling so I could afford it for my other toons. But true that any toon with R9 is awesome and no cons there other than the cost of it. Coins or cash shopping, it is super expensive. Helps to stay alive with the hp in things like RB when the BB is stopped too.

    The only class I would go R9 on is Archer.

    While all r9 are op, any +10-12 dod/gem/vit stone full 4 socket 100+ gear set does well enough that I don't see the reason to invest so much money in just one set of armor for one character; especially considering I enjoy playing multiple classes regularly that share armor.
