*Please refrain from arguments and trolling :[*
And that's the one thing that always happens in these.
It's gonna inevitably end in arguments over opinions. Really the list Apocryphos gives is somewhat accurate (He might be missing a few people but hey he even said; "Based of people he's pvp'ed)
But when people put lists, they always have the following flaws. Including a list I could make:
1. Harder to compare two people due to differences in gear:
Now lets compare two people: xAizawa and ShinoRyu. Both are skilled Ninjas, but to put both of them in a 1vs1 well the gear is gonna always be a gremlin about this. xAizawa probably (Haven't seen him recently) has the advantage of better element cards, sets, and accessories like solars. Shino is incredibly skilled too but is lacking in gear compared to him.
Gear inevitably makes a wide gap in determining two players. Consider myself (CoolSam) vs oSweetlove; He's got TONS of gear advantages on me, however I hold pretty well against him myself, (Best I can do is lose 4-5 with us having equal element attack.) and really we 1v1 ALOT. I will always accept an offer to pvp from him because it's nice seeing how I hold against him.
2. Activity of players in their respective classes and the game in general:
Now often when this topic comes. I see a name of some big pro who quit ages ago. (I put FireONight and MiyakoZuka in Overlords for skilled in an old topic and they are extremely inactive or quit.)
Also, I see people who main multiple classes getting multiple spots on a list. (Seo who mains Destroyer and Ninja. Not doubting skills as he does well in both.)
But that's another inevitable flaw with specific people like that. I can see a good number of people on lists that quit that class as their main due to nerfs or otherwise. Some I haven't seen in a PvP room. Battlesquare, or Emporia in ages. And some of them who sadly I don't get to PvP as much and give a good word of confirmation (Rezzy QQ I wanna fight your Dragoon again!)
3. Lists are always based off people the maker PvP'ed:
Not a major flaw. If someone like Apocryphos listed you based off the PvPs he had with ya, it means you're recognized by a top player and it means praise. But sometimes I see names from other lists giving people I never heard of because I never got to PvP them. Really makes you wanna verify that.
So all in all, making these lists is always a hassle. And these topics always get inevitably closed because of the drama and arguing that results. But I'll give my take on it. Simply because I can. Not in a particular order by the way. And Active players too.
Dragoon: (I based this off Post-Nerf skills. Meaning I fought these guys Post-Nerf and they still held up well.)
- RezzyJey: I don't see him on there much, but he's in my opinion a beast post-Dragoon Nerf.
- oClark: Perm-80, really skilled, and always fun to fight. He prepared for the nerf by practicing his skills.
Overlord:
- oSwEeTLovE: His gear is top, his skill is beast as well. Probably the only Overlord I can't beat...........currently (I'll still try.)
- CoolSam: I can't put myself? If Sweetlove himself recognizes my skill then clearly if I'm not 1st I'm 2nd.
Invoker:
- ero: He will eat you for dinner. And you will crap yourself which is why you need a complimentary PvP Diaper when you agree to face him.
- Anrietta: Although pretty inactive. I can still admit she's skilled to this day.
- Neliela: I haven't PvP'ed her 1vs1. But Some Emporia Wars tell me she's good in terms of Team-based PvP.
Sorceror:
- Shorthair: Movement Speed was underestimated for Sorcerors. It really gives her a 1vs1 edge. Which normally is their flaw.
- primero: Another great Perma-80. Always a good fight.
Savage:
- Astry: Really the only Savage I can PvP now. The rest quit cause Final Decision was apparently a necessity. >:L Pansies.
Ninja:
- ShinoRyu: One of the top 1vs1 Skilled Ninjas. Even to this day in the Game of Resists/Attacks and Galaxia he holds well.
- Seoyoun: Rolling around at the speed of sound! Hehe... But still great skill to compliment a stat Ninjas can consider for great results after Evade nerf.
Sentinel:
- xFomalhaut: Probably top Sentinel in server. Really because there's so few in Endgame to consider.
- Exelus: Again like Anrietta, not as active but could hold up well in skill.
Destroyer:
- Chartemis: If there's a Destroyer to consider for inspiration, it's this one. Knows the strats and even invents new ones.
- Sakuraz: I like to think Sakuraz as the 2nd place. They can be extremely close in skill at times.
- 1inch: Really saying this as he's capable of matching the best Destroyers.
Summoner:
- LOVECOUCH: Godly gear, and great skill in all levels of Summoner play. There's not many Summoners to list here though.
Twin Fighter:
- Zeela: Main swap from Dragoon to Twin in New Origins was a good idea. Quickly learned the techniques and stayed as among the best Twins even to this day.
- Mituo: Although he might've been lurking in Perma-60'dom for a good while. He skyrocketed to endgame level and took it by storm.
- TwinBj: A good Twin player. Again he's easily capable of facing the top PvP'ers.
