The best class is based on how varied you are as a player compared to the variety offered on the character type.

The easiest, in my opinion, would be Venomancer. The reason for this is, even if you mess up your skills and stats, at least the other half of you is still covered up by the pet. Therefore, Venomancer is the most absolutely forgiving class in the game once you get used to some of the ropes, which is half the reason why all Venomancers seem halfway reliable to very reliable.

The most difficult class, without a doubt, is a Light Armored Healing/Support Type Cleric. This is the absolutely most unforgiving class for any mistake. Any mistake can have a traumatic effect as to how efficient the Cleric is. Two stat point mistakes is all you can make before the best magic weapon or light armor no longer becomes available to you. Cleric has 6~8 different healing spells, if you decide to level them all instead of sticking to one, you'll have insufficient healing power in later levels and will sacrifice important buffs. That and Physical Def buffs take priority over every other buff until it is maxed, then magic attack buff, then magic defense buff in that exact order, which you won't be able to master even at mid levels. You're always stuck with the decision on whether or not an Ironheart Blessing would serve you better or Plume Shell, which would be more efficient in which situation (monster hits you many times or a single time). You have to flip between two different armor sets in order to achieve the best defense rating for physical and magical monsters, cutting your inventory space slots by 20%. It costs twice as more money to get the best of each armor and twice the amount to repair each armor. Later Physical Attack bosses are capable of one-shotting you if you don't have plume shell up. That and if you fall, the entire party wipes if you're the only Cleric.

On the bright side, you have the highest survivability rate compared to all classes. You can solo and destroy quite a few of the earlier bosses (Pre-Gouf) with help from charms. Because you can do this, you can do some things that other classes would deem impossible pre-50, such as soloing Qingzi (Done at level 47), Dismal Shade (Done level 40), Suzerix (Done at 46), Krixxix (proven doable at level 34), Farng (solo'd at level 30), and solo two of the three Cultivation 49 bosses. You have a lower damage output than Full Attack Clerics, but have double the chance of acquiring better stat armor than they will. Because you have a higher survival rating, parties are much less likely to wipe, making the task of accomplishing party quests much easier. Because of your excellent Physical Defense, provided you have charms, you're able to survive quite a few Physical AoE attacks, more likely survive bad links when healing the bad puller turns enemy attention to you, and easily keep an influx of HP flowing as you fight (1 ironheart blessing on self at or before every fight you know you will take damage and 1 more for each additional monster of the same level that links).

So, the best and most difficult class in terms of universal efficiency, hands down, is Light Armored Healing/Support Cleric, which is capable of turning just about anyone (even themselves) into a tank.

That and once any Cleric get level 10 Revive, most people won't need to carry Guardian Angels around them.

That and if you have a slow reaction, this type of cleric will mop you across the floor, eat you, spit you out, chew you out again, and watch the Superbowl before you can say "That's Bull!"

From my experience, venomancer is the EASIEST not the BEST.

However, we have to ask [best] for what? pve/pvp/soloing...

For PvE: There is no doubt veno does have the easiest way around it.

For PvP:

Now this is a tough one, if you get a barbarian, a wizzy will kill you.
If you get a BM, a wizzy will kill you.
If you get a veno (thinking you have a nix like all other 84935739875 venos around), a cleric might kill you.
If you get an assassin, a barb and bm will kill you. (proven..., stun > crits lol) why do you think they gave a cloaking skill? because they are weak! Prove me wrong, assassin lv 100 will die against barb or bm lv 100.
If you get an archer, a veno will kill you. Nix is too much power (not to mention speed)
If you get a cleric on the other hand... you can kill anyone as long as they dont stun you b:shocked
If you get a psychic, a veno a bm a barb will kill you, probably even a cleric due to the heals / phy damage.


My recomendation: Get a cleric, you have stack heals, you have some elemental aoes, not to mention it can also switch to phy. damage aoes, buffs, debuffs, and when doing a dungeon, you can just call up BB and afk (if charmed) not an smart thing to do though, if there's an emergency, it will be your fault for afking.

Now talking of clerics, PREPARE TO DIE, you will die, A LOT, and I mean it, A LOT. Why? mostly in dungeons because someone not doing their job correctly or you healing before they actually get agroed. As for PVE, they have it easy, most mobs are ranged and if you choose arcane cleric which is the best imo. (Why would a cleric be heavy armor? I mean, LOL... would be like having an arcane armor barbarian LMAO).

Cleric is all around MAGic, if you want to be good on the end game, forget about your defence, you have skills that can protect you against that damage (plume shell 80% less phy damage for 30 secs, converts the HP damage taken into MP damage taken, wings of protectiton less damage for 30 secs or until the shields absorbs x amount of damage, iron heart stack your heals and you will be safe, blah blah blah)

Now what is the "best" class?, you choose. The hardest characters to grow will always be the nukers on the long run. Learned this from other 15 MMORPGs I have played before...
