Check out the v.254 - Midnight Carnival - Ludibrium Patch Notes
here!
I'm trying to decide on what class to main in the Reboot server and was curious about others' experiences. I'm looking primarily at very high end-game bossing ability assuming basically unlimited funding, but also considering things like good mobility and mobbing so I don't hang myself on the way to end-game. I'm currently playing a Dawn Warrior and it's pretty fun; decent mobility, mobbing, damage, etc. it seems like.
My current finalists are:
-Shadower
-Xenon
-Evan
-Kaiser
-Kinesis
That said, it's been years and years since I've played; I've never actually played any of these classes. I'd appreciate any feedback on these classes with respect to what I'm looking for, or if anyone has another class suggestion based on that criteria, I welcome the feedback.
Thanks!

Shadower: it's an extremely fun class, very mobile fun to play. It's downside is definitely it's damage, it's a pretty hard class to fund HOWEVER if you do fund it you can dish out some insane amounts of damage.
Xenon: Xenons a interesting class, takes spin2win and turns it into spin2level. It's fairly easy to fund and has a pretty fun story-line to boot.
Evan: With the revamp that Evan received it's definitely a force to be reckoned with, the class definitely excels in bosses like lotus and Damien. If he has a revamped story line now i haven't done it yet, so i couldn't tell you if it's any good, the original story when he came out though was rather fun.
Kaiser: All around just a cool class, the ability to transform and demolish everything as a giant half dragon knight is incredibly fun, though the recent change to the kms version of him is a little clunky. It takes some getting used too, but all around the class is really fun and easy to play once you figure it out!
Kinesis: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hHkKJfcBXcw nuff said
i've gotten Kaiser Xenon and Shadower to 200
Evan to 127
and Kinesis to 176
If i had to choose a favorite the winner would be
Kaiser!
Xenon is also considered powerful. Personally I find the tri-stat and mode-change systems to be difficult to manage if you're a casual player.
Evan deals high damage but requires management of both Mir and Evan to use properly. Vertical mobility is better than most mages, but only when Mir isn't attacking. Also, due to fusion skills, Evan will receive four new 5th job skills in the upcoming BEYOND update (other classes only receive one or two).
Kaiser is a faster-paced warrior than most, although I have found horizontal mobility clunkier than what I'm used to. Vertical mobility uses a grappling hook skill, which works well for me. Also, due to latency and issues, the Dragon Link system isn't efficient at all, so you'll be using key-bound attacks instead.
Kinesis is heavily story-oriented, and requires management of buffs to utilize properly. Mobbing is good enough, but mobility is rather low, especially vertical mobility. Probably not best for a beginner class or for a returning player unfamiliar with the current mechanics, although I wouldn't discount it because the important thing is that you have fun playing it.
Overall, I'd say Shadower if you're looking for simpler mechanics or Xenon if you're looking for more complex attacks.
Final question, then: Out of all of the listed classes, are any of them UNABLE to reach such high damage levels to do some of the ridiculous sub-minute chaos horntail runs you see videos of? Or are all of these classes able to blow some bosses up given enough funding?
Any class is capable of speed-running bosses, given enough funding. It'd just be a matter of cubing your gear to that point.
