Auf Heben Tier List

Don’t corsairs actually do decent cleave damage with the torpedo skill?

 

under the assumption that all classes are properly washed, AMs should be on the same tier as NLs

a beginner-mage-washed AM can practically deal freefire dpm (outside of sed and global DP) if the FP bodytanks auf, which will match or even beat NLs purely because of the latter's reliance on buffs; and, of course auf being poison/lightning weak. the same argument can be made in clone 2 phase.

i dont think a beginner-mage-washed AM is going to be in much danger because if anything, they can portal to top right

 

i'd swap both AMs with BM and bring shads right up there beside buccs

 

After running more Aufs, I believe I have my conclusion:
Ranked based on party buffs, utility and damage output.


S Tier:
Bucc - Refer to OP, also take into consideration TL-ing your pt members Hero's Will if you have nothing else to TL.
Shad - Smoke. Gets DP'd way less than other classes, only needs meso guard to resume doing damage since you get SI.

A Tier:
Paladins - The absolute best damage dealer on every part of the Auf boss fight, for now.

B Tier:

Marksman - Sharp Eyes, Blind. Decent DPM. Nothing else worth mentioning.
Bishop - Holy Shield, Ress. Would be 1 tier up but requires Magic Guard to stay alive. Would move 1 tier up if heavily washed.

Hero - When you find out you can neglect defense up on minis. Heros are pretty much slightly lower DPM compared to paladin.

C Tier:
Night Lord & Corsair - They're really just there to do some damage. Some.

D Tier:
Bowmaster - Well there's DR...

Dark Knight - Hyper Body is essentially a non-factor in this discussion(am working on clearing Auf with under-washed characters; will move up when we do). Other than that, for DKs to do damage at their fullest potential in this boss takes too much effort & it's pretty high risk.

Archmages - They are Night Lord & Corsair but with elemental magic damage and require Magic Guard to stay alive. Wouldn't move 1 tier up even if heavily washed since overall damage will be inferior to NL/Sair.

 

Redundancy to deal with def up (what if bishop dies or dcs) makes them on par or superior to paladin. Also, their panic every few secs can easily pin auf without the need of rush, which is pretty good too

 

I think the problem is we usually don't run with a bishop despite having many discussions on how good Bishops are or can be(hi Holp ).
The thing with neglecting defense up, depends on how you run it. Knowing the duration of defense up buff on minis helps a lot. Our Hero also rarely gets to 10 orbs, not sure if its the same for everyone else.

Again, it's my POV and there's literally 30 or less people that've ran and cleared Auf on legends, the current/existing strategy is far from optimal since I firmly believe Auf is very much NOT cleave content, more like single target melee and it'll be range friendly sooner rather than later.

 

Don't really have too strong of an opinion on a tier-list at auf but I can confirm that it is both possible/practical to hurricane at auf even accounting for DR.

 

Remember when hamstring was supposed to do something for auf? :V

 

I've ran with Corsair twice(?) but they die by the first clones so I put them according to the OP.

To justify Shadowers being S Tier, you'd have to witness how often shad dodges the ball dispels & how good Smoke actually is. We haven't done any DPM tests in Auf though, could try later but with our no bishop party composition I'm sure DPM will be significantly lower, disregarding gears. Holy Shield does wonders in Auf.

EDIT: Yes, taking down the minis 1 by 1 is definitely the optimal way, just depends on where you'd rather have them be hanging around.

 

remember? hamstring does affect auf haven.

 

pog, but can we get an HT tierlist?

 

Bishop S Tier. just see the number of recruitment posts for that LOL

 

Move shad to B-tier if disregarding the existence of sed mules.
