Hello awesome brothers and sisters of Black Desert!



With a game so intricate with many mechanics like Black Desert, the broad "Tier lists" are obscure and fallacious. New players often are curious the "lay of the land" in class balance

and usually stumble upon one of the many subjective, Overall ranking tier lists.



Instead of generally ranking each class based on one or a couple subjective opinions, we can define certain aspects in Black Desert that are affected by which class you choose and have everyone that wishes to give their own experience and opinion on said class/es.



In turn, demarcating Black Desert's more prominent aspects, and with a large enough sample size, we can get a good idea of how a class stands in this beautiful universe.



Those prominent areas have been identified as:

PvE - Low-end (Sausan, Naga, etc.)

PvE - High-end Group oriented (Mirumok, Gyfin, etc.)

PvE - High-end Solo oriented (Hystria, Aakman, etc.)

PvP - 1v1 (Battlearena, duels, etc.)

PvP - 1vX (prowess to fight outnumbered)

PvP - Large-scale GvG (RBF, Nodewar, Siege, etc. 20+ participants)

PvP - Small-scale GvG (RBF, Nodewar, etc. <20 participants)

PvP - Openworld (spontaneous/uncontained PvP, ability to defend grind spot/constest, etc.)

Lifeskilling (gathering mobility, weight limit, sustain in desert/hostile mobs, etc.)

We have constructed a Form/Survey in which you are free to voice your opinion on class' strengths and weaknesses. The Table lists the mean estimated potential of each class for the denoted mechanic, based on everyone's input from the Form.



We must be careful not to take a class out of scope due to an outlying scenario and focus on the class itself and it's OVERALL POTENTIAL in said area. Striker vs Witch in a 1v1, the Striker obviously would rank very high. This does not mean Striker is good at 1v1 (he may very well be). Avoid these hasty generalizations. Try to rate from a broad, overall viewpoint. If we don't, our numbers will be skewed.



In turn we ask that you think carefully on each area per the class. If you have no idea, leave it blank.



Give YOUR opinion, not what is most popular.

(there are no required questions or any that could be used to identify you; it's anonymous)



Thank you all for your contribution! We all look forward to seeing the results!
