Hi Jason! As much as I would like Zero to be a top tier class, it is still not quite there just yet. While we might be seeing a lot of good buffs so far, I can't exactly judge Zeros on a future that could go both ways for us and other classes. If I were to just give a rating solely on what we have been getting in terms of buffs up to the 2nd mastery, we are definitely just mid tier or slightly above mid tier. IMO, for a class to be top tier, it has to be very well-rounded in multiple situations, or excel in a particular role which a party can't live without, and are applicable to the currently evolving meta. Therefore, I have 2 different ratings I would give Zeros as of this moment: 1. Party Play - High B or Low A tier. (7 out of 10 stars, "We might have space in the party/ I'll get back to you in a bit.") Support/ Utilities - We do have the title and crown of being the king/queen of binding at this moment. Kannas don't even compare to what we are capable of in that aspect since we can crit bind and reset shadow rain for extra stuns/binds. However, bosses like Kaling and Black Mage (excluding P1), aren't bind-able/stun-able, therefore rendering us as an obsolete support in those situations. We also do not know if future bosses will be able to be binded/ crit binded/ stunned. Another thing to note, even though Kannas and other supports don't have a better bind than us, they do have other Final Damage buffs which we lack as a support. We have 50% IED Debuff and a 25% Damage/BD Barrier, but are pretty negligible (for now until the IED on future bosses get ridiculously high maybe) compared to other supports that provide 15-25%+ FD buffs minimum to the party. Damage - In terms of damage, we have pretty good DPM for a lot of boss fights that are carried out for longer durations, or if needed to chip down CKalos HP, and we also have a stronger burst now after Dreamer/ Go-West update. However, given that a lot of current end-game parties (XSeren, NKalos/CKalos, NKaling/HKaling, and XBM mostly) focus heavily on bind/burst, there are just a lot of other support classes that have good damage and provide more useful/ well-rounded buffs and excel for this burst-heavy meta which we have to compete against. Also, since most parties are 3minute burst parties, and we are a 2minute class, we actually lose a lot of our overall damage on a full rotation/ DPM BA since we have to delay our bursts by 50%. 2. Solo Play - Low to Mid A tier. (8.5 out of 10 stars, "I can pretty much breeze through my bosses with ease, but not extremely fast") Support/ Utilities - While the above statements may seem underwhelming for party play, our kit provides us with having an easier time surviving and maneuvering in a lot of the solo-able content, where other classes may not have our utilities/ mobility to live in many situations. Those same crit binds that parties can benefit from us, other classes do not have. We also have a 15 second I-frame every 3 minutes and our Twin Blades of Time is a 5 second I-frame while holding it down during our burst. Damage - Since we are a 2 minute class, with pretty high DPM, we benefit a lot in 2 minute parties or in solo-play. We can run through a lot of bosses pretty quickly and don't have to wait as long as 3 minute classes for our bursts to come up. We also don't hit like soggy noodles while out of burst as some classes might as they wait for their 3 minute burst to come back up. However, we are still not hitting like a truck as other 2 minute classes like Heros, Demon Slayers, and Kaisers that excel in the high DPM area in solo-play as well. Overall, there are just a lot of better picks for support FD buff stacking, and even more high DMG burst classes, that picking a Zero becomes very situational/niche and require the Zero to still have a lot of damage to get into parties. Hope this helps! Haha~ :)

@@ZeroDeguris thanks bro！

@@ZeroDeguris I am a hero main for now.But after understanding your opinion, I have chosen zero as the new main role, and now there is hyper burning, lets go zero gang！

Just didn't find any reason to spend extra for sub optimal gains. I'm just going to pray for better event totems. Haha~ :)

Thank you! :)

Haha, just comparing the origin burst to other classes for perspective. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely strong! Just not as strong as like Ark, WH and a handful of other classes. Thank you though! :D

Ouu, I started Nkalos when I was doing roughly 20T-22T No Origin, Sac Applied, and back before 6th job was released. I got lucky at the time cuz I swapped my Kanna out of my Nkalos party with my Zero when Kanna's got that Domain nerf. Now that 6th job is out, with our current hexa and origin, it should be easier to reach those numbers. Haha!

Haha, thank you! <3 Overall, I feel that Zeros have better utilities, survivability, and a slightly better "burst" than Kaisers. Kaisers have overall higher DPM output if I recall correctly. So, definitely go for Zero! Hehe~ XD

Thank you Clark! It was a wonderful pleasure to run with everyone! I am so grateful that the party was willing to take me in and keep me for the whole duration from beginning to end of my CKalos journey! Perhaps, we'll get to run other bosses together in the future~ <3 I will be rooting from the sideline as you guys clear CKalos with my fellow Zero substitute! <3

I am currently running: - 20% Cooldown Skip - 8% Boss Damage - 8% Abnormal Damage I am probably going to convert the Abnormal Damage to Buff Duration soon and test that out :)

I think we absolutely need either a huge damage buff still or increase our supporting capabilities. Where we stand now after the GO West/ Dreamer Part 1 patch, we got a good dmg buff already, but nothing too crazy. I think it would be nice to enhance our crit bind/stun capabilities. Afterall, we are king/queen of binding, yet we get robbed of that title in bosses like Kaling and Black Mage where the boss is mostly not bindable.

Haha, you shall get there eventually! I shall be doing the post-Dreamer Part 1 update soon! :)

Also subbing for tips lol xD

Haha! I do hope you will enjoy playing the class! Feel free to ask me any questions! I'll do my best to get a reply back as promptly as I can! :)

Aww thanks! Ahaha, not the best Zero, but definitely I'm doing my best. XD

@@ZeroDeguris Well you're my FAVORITE Zero at least :D

If I did my calculations correctly, we are looking at 15-20% FD gain in our 40s Kalos Non-origin and Origin BAs. In a Kaling 6mins BA, I estimated about 20-25% FD gain. When we get the 2nd mastery (A3/B3 hexa mastery), I believe we will be doing a slightly different *prayer burst* combo to min/max damage. Prayer combo is just A424/ B434. However, our current commonly used combo still works in most situations as we currently use A424/ B3432. After the 2nd mastery, we might just change *prayer burst* A424 -> A434 and B434 -> B3432. Overall, pretty strong buff and comboing may or may not change that much. :)

Thanks! <3 hehe~ ;)

It's always going to depend on the boss and whether you are in party or solo play. Majority of the time, solo bossing you can keep a cont4/cont5 on. But when in party bossing, you are most likely going to use a RoR4/RoR5 due to the nature of 3min burst timings. Regarding off burst/dpm, it is pretty strong atm; Not the top, just somewhere in the middle. We are definitely closer to top of the middle once we get the buffs in Dreamer patch. According to my calculations, we are going to gain roughly 15-20% FD in a 40s burst, and 20-25% FD in a 6min full rotation. Hope this helps! :)

I do use Attack Speed abilities, but those same abilities are affected by Cooldown Skip. Therefore, I choose to use CD Skip IA for more utilities. Either works, but keep in mind that AS IA is useless while you have Chrono Break or Time Distortion active as both of them provide +2 and +1 AS respectively. Hope this helps!

Some of these pots do be costing me almost my whole life line. 💀😅 haha

Haha, hello there! o/ W MYANS! 😁

locked is simply to not bind on cast, you only bind on recast or 2nd cast, if you don't lock it, it will be vice versa (bind on cast)

@@terryturtlespirit thank you

@@Alixei947 Ahaha, yes as @terryturtlespirit has mentioned, I do have it locked so that I can control when I want to bind. Another thing to mention is that if you right-click chrono break, not only does it automatically bind on the 2nd cast, but if you hold down arrow + activated chrono break, then you can activate the bind on the first cast. So this helps with being more flexible and fluid in terms of play styles and bind times during boss fights.

@@ZeroDeguris ill give it a try ,thank you

@@Alixei947 Np! :) Glad to help as much as I can!

We are gaining between 15-25% FD. According to my own math, we gain around 14.84%-20%FD in a 40s Kalos BA and 20-25% FD in a 6min Kaling BA. Pretty juicy buff. :) Definitely go for the hyper burn on Zero! It's been getting a lot more love and attention recently with more buffs just about every patch!

Haha, XDD YOU'RE THE CARRY CLARK! <3

w myans :)

Hello fellow Zero enthusiast! o/ Haha! Your presence has been noted!

@@ZeroDeguris WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Haha, I love my cubes! 😁 Although, I think the amount of time n mesos I spent on it was pretty rough 💀

@@ZeroDeguris it’s okay, you cubed enough to feed both our addictions ❤️

@@lilloud116 Haha XD I still got 7400 cubes to use as well 💀

@@ZeroDeguris holy fk bro lemme cube for you cus I’ll never have that many 😂

@@lilloud116 Haha, I wish someone could cube for me. But I also have to go through the bitterness of cubing to reap the excitement of hitting! :)

Thanks man! Appreciate your support! I am definitely one lucky Zero and I absolutely love this class! I will be doing my best keep coming out with more Zero content. Feel free to ask away anything or suggest some things that you'd like me to cover as well! :) Hope you will enjoy your Zero!

Ahaha, I appreciate the feedback! I kept track of the list of completed items on the left side of the VOD, but I can probably make a quick video for the before and after soon! :)

Haha, thanks Clark! :)

cont4 for solo ror4 in stuff like kalos, getting out of p1 bm etc... anything that require burst ror4 cont4 is default

Definitely depends on the situation. Generally, burst heavy party bossing like Kalos you would want to use RoR4. In solo bossing and longer boss fights that aren't as burst heavy you can use a Cont4. :)

Absolutely! I may start working on a video to review Zero gameplay in late to end-game content very soon. But the short answer is that Zeros are quite a niche choice as a support and planning binds really is not as bad as some people think. I just think of it as an extended and more flexible kanna bind. Ahah! In terms of how high Zeros can go (Im assuming you are talking about damage), our burst is kind of mid but our DPS is a little better than mid for now. After Dreamer patch, we may see a pretty strong increase in both departments. :D Hope this helps! Feel free to ask anything else and I hope you will continue to find Zeros as a fun class to progress on!

You were always here in my heart <3 thank you!!!!

need more binds!!!

w myans

Thank you! Don't worry, Rhinne shall bless you as well soon! Our goddess loves her children equally. I threw over 1000+ eternal and black flames before this event. >~< Just keep going and it shall hit when you least expect it! 😁

LOL I might try T5 attack with T4/T5 boss/dmg in the future when my other gears have better flames. Atm, with T5 Atk and T4 All Stats, its gonna be super unlikely to beat this or see another T5/T4 combination. But worry not, I SHALL ATTEMPT THAT! 😁❤️

After only 1000+ eternal and black flames from multiple events. 💀💀💀 BUT YES IT EXISTS!! 😁

Gotta get t5att with t4 boss/dmg >~< but this is as good as it gets for now! :3

Zero's flame is counted twice for Stats, Boss Damage, Damage, and All stats. It counts only once for Attack. Thus, it's technically yes and no depending on thr stats you roll. XD Hope this helps!

I don't got enough stones yet! lol

Thank you~ >.<

Haha, thank you! I got super lucky with the weapon in another video. :) Orvius is also a very respectable Zero player with some of the best hands in GMS Kronos. I probably have a -50% FD debuff from bad combos and hands alone. Nonetheless, I love the class and do my best to still master the combos and try to help other Zero enthusiasts. I hope you are enjoying the class as well! :)

LOL you can feel the difference in bursting with a RoR4 vs Cont4. I will be uploading a better BA measurement for short bursts vs full rotations soon. :)

Nice nice I’ll be waiting 😎

Ahaha, thank you! I hope you are enjoying the class so far! Lot's of pretty nice buffs coming to our class over the summer! Good luck with your lib quests!

@@ZeroDeguris Yeah I’ve loved the class for a long time but I quit it when I came to reboot and just recently came back to it! Fingers crossed all goes well

Thank you! We're only going up from here!!!

Thank you!!! :D It was one of my happiest moments in a long time! Did you tap?

Lmao ty king 💪
