About to have a nervous breakdown

For all you youngster gamers! I used to play games 24/7… AWESOME times! Unfortunately, now I work 40-50 hours a week and I don’t have time to power play all nighters…

I like this game and its concept, but my brain is melting from reading 70 different opinions on what is good and what is bad… I have gone through 2 swordsman now, not knowing they are just tanks later with very bad damage and if you don’t get pelt 1 for taunt, then you will probably solo forever.

Here is where YOU come in!

Are there any classes/builds that have very little chance of ever being changed by future updates to become crappy? I just want to play a character that can safely be my main, safely not worry about being nerfed or seeing a R8, R9, or R10 class that makes me need to reroll… It can be any class (Preferably not cleric, they look boring)

Swordsman specific classes or any?

Swordsman have only been getting buffs as of late, so whatever you make, it wont get worse.
On the other hand, the other classes have been recieving mixed buffs and nerfs

We don’t have rank 8 out and at least 2 more ranks are expected. Nothing is truly safe with that much still not released.

See, that’s your issue. You’re playing on what other people want you to be, rather than what you want. Ofcourse then you’ll get smacked down to scrutiny. What you have to find in this game is a theme that you can make your own. And not care about if something is “buffed” or “nerfed”, you play because you’re good at what you play. Pelts are nice for party-grinding, but as a decent DPS you’ll basically generate enough aggrovation to hold onto most things including bosses if active about it.

That said, I don’t think anyone is truly safe from balance changes. Not sure who on what game would ever be safe from changes. Not even the picky situation dealing with Wizard C3s.

Here’s a somewhat safe build, swordsman 2 is bad but eitherways you have restrain and the upcoming concentrate buffs.

I imagine wiz 3, ele3, warlock 2 will be a safe play always.

No one knows what IMC will do for rank 9 and 10, but you’d never suck and be unwanted.

Pick a class circle that remains useful for a specific uniqueness like CC,taunt,afk shop,high (support/dmg these might be nerfded)

In MY opinion mix something with this,
-Cryo 3
-Chrono 3
-Linker 2-3
-Peltast 1-2-3
-Rodel 2
-Alchemist
-Squire
-Pardoner

For the rest of the circles around those useful skills they provide, just pick something you enjoy playing.
If you really want to be a top priority in a team then simply go with a meta build. But like people here already mentioned, no one is sure what will come in the future and things might change the meta (not the usefulness of the unique class skills)
