Mercenary: Barbarian or Destroyer

Introduction to Mercenary

Mercenary, or often referred as "Howler" is a good class to play as it has many useful self and party buffs. This class can specialize into Barbarian or Destroyer upon reaching level 45. Well, Barbarian and Destroyer has their own advantage and disadvantage. Before the skill fixes in Dragon Nest SEA, both Barbarian and Destroyer are howlers. But then, after the skill fixes, Destroyer is more of like "sub-tanker" as Punishing Swing EX has provoking effect. 

Let's now take a look on the pros and cons of each class: 

Barbarian

-Pros

Barbarian has the skill called "Bone Break" which can decrease the defense of enemies hit by that skill. The skill is very useful in both PvP and PvE as it can help the DPS kill faster. Barbarian has also additional physical damage after the Dragon Nest SEA skill fixes. Barbarian has also 2 of improved "circular" attack like Stomp Ex and Circle Swing Ex. They are useful in cancelling combos in PvP and it is useful to kill mobs around a barbarian in PvE.

-Cons

Well, one of the cons is, Barbarian has not much ranged skill. Other cons are Bone Break can be dodged or cancelled if the user of barbarian can't hit accurately. 

Destroyer

-Pros

Destroyer has a lot of ranged Ex Skills like punishing swing ex, which can have burn damage and provoking effect, Flying Swing Ex, which is good to use to knocked down enemies in PvP, and Ring Bombs Ex, which can attack in better AoE and has more shock waves. Destroyer's Maelstrorm howl is also a skill that majority can't cancel or dodge as it has sucking effect to enemies. Destroyer can also heal in a small amount. Destroyer can also be a tank as it has provoking effect on punishing swing. 

-Cons

Destroyer is not as good as Barbarian in close range attack. Its likely more focused on medium to long range attack. 

Well, the choice is yours. If you like to play a melee class, then go to barbarian. If you like to play medium-long range class, then go to destroyer. I will also post good skill builds for both classes later.
