[QUOTE=Holy Kensai,August 13, 2009 11:27 pm]Healers are probably the worst. But hey, Paladins rank two cavaliers until promotion, then you promote your better one and replace the other with a more useful character. Bam. That's paladins.[/QUOTE]

Uhm I know this isn't the right thread but I have to disagree.

Healers are the worst class, BUT after they promote they can own since they get magic to use and healing which is very usefull in your team. Especially with a Physic staff. Since healers or any magic users don't have much physical defence.

Archers aren't the worst class. They attack from far and can dodge quite a lot, especially after promotion. I hated archers at first but you have to give them a chance Except Leonardo in FE10 he just sucks
They also have a high hit rate, without promoting of course. Only problem is that they can't attack from close range. Well sure that is a disadvantage but they can still damage and double enemies and with enough strenght or a well weakened enemy then he can kill as well.

Oh and healers can't counterattack and die like REALLY FAST. Unlike archers, they can take a hit or dodge them.

Although I have to say this also: In the end, it is our own opinion. So I am wrong and you are as well. I am right but you are as well.

To atleast say something on-topic..

Sain :]

I said it before but he can really own.If I had still used him after he promoted he could become a good unit.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Seraphinox,August 14, 2009 08:00 am]Hahahahahahaha.

You are completely wrong, you must be a terrible tactician if you leave your healers in range of enemies.

Archers can counterattack?? My ass, archers kill one enemy max on their turn and if they're lucky another on the opponents turn, ever notice how they can't melee fight?
Your archer gets surrounded, BAM dead!.

Healers are meant for HEALING not fighting and without them you would be a lot less durable, they also greatly help the exp Rank.

As said Healers fill a niche that no other unit can fill, and for that they are indespensible.

Much greater then crappy archers, give a Cavalier a Javelin and then I have a unit that can attack from both near and far[/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]
You must be a terrible tactician if you need healers. No offense, just proving a point.

It's a two way street Seraph, healers go where they must. In my case, they stay in camp. xD

Kay. Let's look at it a different way. What classes can be replaced by items... healers, by vulneraries. Right.
So, discuss. A poll may be added later for the most nominated.

Seraph contradicted himself in the paragraph, he said it would be stupid to put healers where they can be directly attacked, the same goes for archers. They weaken enemies and allow a weaker unit to get the kill if needed. They also don't really have to fight for weapons, as no class really gets bows and uses them aside from nomad troopers and snipers.

:/

I would have to say the worst class is Blade Lord, because her low str and weak weapons means the class just is a watered down SM with bows :/

Vulneraries don't heal fast enough and Physic is a life saver.
Archers have low base stats and usually suffer strength screwage.
A javelin or a hand axe basically replaces the archer/sniper class.

Its not really contradiction, the archers will have to attack at some point or else they're just a waste of space while Healers can be kept at the very back.

Yes, and archers too fight from the back, cause they're ranged.

By the time vulneraries don't heal enough, you have sages who can use staves if need be.

I'd say archers/snipers are the worst class. I mean, next to no counterattack capability. The long range capabilities are more than covered by the javelin/hand-axe, or a magic unit, who can attack close/long range and heal.

You're forgetting that Healers become less bad when they promote while Archers are still crap.

No Melee
No counterattacking which means no kills
Most expensive weapon

Indoor/castle levels, archers rule. Archers are just good support units. Plus, they're cool.

If your archer isn't in the front row, or is placed right, he can easily get counterattacks.

I admit they're cool they're my favorite class but that doesn't stop them being the worst.

Now if they got a horse and swords upon promotion... wait

But I find it funny that so far we've mainly talked about archers and healers, and a slight mention about Blade Lord.

Shaman's. How often do you really meet light magic users? xD

Pegasus Knights, because Wyvern Knights are so much better.

Hm... I don't know, I'm throwing out random stuff. xD

@Oblivion, Paladins in FE8 suck anyways, because they can become Great Knights, which are way cooler and are tanks with mobility.

Pirates are kinda bad because they never hit. :/

Thieves would suck if it wasn't for the moneyz.

Also, healers -> Clerics and Troubadours, I would say Troubadours are better.

Dancers do not blow well they do in one sense but they let you use another unit again, which means another kill. They have amazing Evasion and Defence so they'll be dodging everything

I agree with you there.
I'd go with Shamans being average at the lowest thanks to Luna. Remember how pwnsome Canas is with it as a Druid?
Falconknights have the tri-attack so they don't suck either.
