Any plans for melee DPS?

Class and Rank
#1

I’m assuming the answer to this is no, but I figured I’d ask anyways. Has there been any talk whether in the international version or in the korean one (which I’m assuming is ahead of us) regarding melee DPS classes? It’s no secret that they’re not on par with archer/wizard classes but I was wondering if any of us hopefuls who loved the thief classes in RO will have our day in the sun or if ToS is just void of any decent melee DPS and plans to stay that way?

It just seems odd to me, considering I’ve been playing MMOs for the last 15 years, popular ones like WoW and RO but many less popular and obscure ones too, subscription based and free, and every single one had at least one Thief class or at least a class that was melee dps and it was just a risk/reward thing. You generally did more damage as a melee dps than ranged because you had to risk being close to monsters and taking hits and you weren’t as tanky as other melee classes.

Well, that’s the end of my rant, but just hoping that IMC plans on filling the melee dps void one day.

there is a thief: rogue. its almost the same as in RO with both melee and ranged options.

Try playing Pardoner.

From what I’ve heard, the rogue isn’t an endgame class and taking it to c3 is gimping yourself, on top of which it’s still a class that relief heavily on ranged combat. Not a true melee dps class at all.

#5

wasn’t aware you could play pardoner as melee dps, are there any guides on this? I always figured pardoner was just a class for making money off bufffs.
