Yea warriors aren't the best but they aren't the worst. And I'd say archer is worse before sniper. Snipers have high enough skill to hit more than most ppl. Oh and I've lvled both Ross and Garcia to lvl 20/20 Warriors and Ross always get better stats than Garcia. And Ross is a beast Berserker. He capped STR and SKILL for me. For me worst class was Eliwood lord. Yes he was balanced but still that meant he didn't have any strong points.

I dislike the original trainees, they are just so weak. T_T

As for Warriors, they are quite good but not super-amazing. Definitely not the worst. The only thing is their bows tend to be useless especially because it takes a bit for them to be able to use good bows and once they do use good bows they are unable to counterattack. Hand axes and Tomahawks can counter attack so in that case bows kinda become pointless IMO. XD

I never really thought Nomads were too useful. Good range but in GBA games they can't move again after they attack. They can't counter attack. They tend to be weaker and more vulnerable than Archers. When they evolvepromote into Nomadic Troopers they become better but it once again takes some time to get them to become adept with swords. They aren't terrible but I definitely think there are more useful classes than the Nomadic Trooper. :\

The trainee classes are terrible, except for ewan's super trainee due to being able to use every magic type but no staves. Super Pupil is ok but the other 2 just fail hard.

I remember someone on Serenes saying "Rath stats when he promotes rae as if he forgot that he can use swords". A pretty good analogy which doesn't stop me from arena abusing him

Valkyries in FE8 have the problem of being outclassed by Mage Knights and Bishops =/

Otherwise they were fine in FE6 and 7.

[Seraphinox]

^Yes, but they can heal and can attack from 1-2 range, I still say Snipers are the worst class

we should make a tier list or something xD

[Nils]

Out of ur basic classes, I'd have to say fighters are the worst.

[Seraphinox]

^Why do you say that?

Fighters have that massive power + HP advantage at the start of the game, they are indispensible, they can attack both ranged and melee due to hand axes as well

They are far from the worst.

[Holy Kensai]

Definitely. Fighters are just great because they're the only axes you can get early in the game, unless you use prepromotes.

I still say Healers are the worst. You have no real need for them until after promotion, and then there's usually a prepromote who can do the same. Vulnerarys for the win.

[Seraphinox]

^Sorry Healers can't be the worst, you only get a very limited supply of Vulneraries and they do run out pretty quickly

also the Healers help you boost that exp rank considerably

[Holy Kensai]

Vulnenarys are cheap. Ranks are only in FE7.

Healers are simply the worst because there is no class worse than them. On the first tier, of course.

[Seraphinox]

Ranks are in all the games till No.8 actually

Yeah, but that way you make a fighter waste a turn using a vulnerary instead of killing an enemy, much easier to do both with the help of a healer

[Holy Kensai]

Who said anything about wasting? I use it when the fighter is halfway down, he still counterattacks, and then it's plus 10 life minus one attack, instead of minus two attacks. I find this strategy has helped a lot.

I've found it's not always the best tactic to kill an enemy, as it allows another enemy to take it's place.

[Rujio]

How is using a healer losing two attacks?
Vulnerary: Fighter heals, enemy X attacks, Fighter counters.
Healer: Healer heals, fighter attacks, enemy X attacks, fighter counters and kills.
And if it isn't the best tactic, then you can just NOT KILL THE ENEMY.

Rujio, you completely misunderstood.

[Dave Strider]

a prepromote who can heal is still a healer, guys...

I'd say Shamans are probably the worst, besides the trainees. Every Shaman for the GBA has pretty lame joining time, with the exception of Canas and maaayyybbee Rei. Those 2 are also the only ones who are even decent.

[Falaflame]

lol @ the weight for dark tomes in FE6.

Rei > Canas

Nosferatu with 6wt is win.
