Hello guys i know this is often posted but i really would like some advice.i am wondering, i'm a WA main, currently over 2m4 flat range, but i feel a lack, i really like my WA , but i feel like i'm not a good farmer and not a good bosser, i don't mind bossing, i only do it for the daily money, but god dammit i love farming and yet i am always outfarmed by other classez, is it my range that should be better ? Or the class is simply not that good, i don't mind making a new character as i have most 140 already, and lately kanna began to be so good, i also dont have a kishin mule because i don't have two pc available, so i began to think of maybe maining kanna, but here i am wondering, because kanna have so many spells, i like simple characters, i don't mind combo as i mained aran back before big bang, but i don't like anything with a gauge like ark or luminous and many others, i am from reboot so doing all the quest is kind of a pain to see which one i like from lvl 200+ ... and for the same reason i feel like i should stick to WA,, it's a long journey to get 200+AF and the range also..

Going off of KMS...you are safe till at least winter :T No big nerf except the 10% FD but even then PF still holds a tight spot in terms of damage.
I know people 24x maining wa,imo is a good class, skills are very flashy, have good ability to survive and mobbing from ehat ive seen on youtube seems fine, not the best but decent.
That being said, I'd say cadena. Mobbing is fairly ridiculous, second-fastest non-burning(behind pathfinder) 1-200 I've ever done. The downside for you may be the muscle memory passive, wherein you get a significant damage% bonus for using all of the skills, and you need to keep using different skills to maintain it.
Realistically, cadena has something like 7 or 8 skills that all add a stack to the buff(you can cheese to max stacks with her bind too, but that's impractical), and after that you can basically alternate between two or three skills and maintain the buff. At max stacks the only condition the buff looks for to refresh its duration is not using the same skill twice in a row.
Look up videos on its playstyle, see if that's something you could do or would even be interested in. And don't discount pathfinder just because it has a gauge. The class has phenomenal mobbing, pretty great bossing, and the gauge is little more than a secondary mp source that's tied to maybe five or six skills all said and done. Take a swing at pathfinder, give it a chance at least up to 140(to max out all 4th job skills and get the S-rank legion piece) and see how you feel about it by then.
PF's 5th job is actually pretty good.
Raven tempest allows u to use astra (hyper burst dmg skill) for longer duration as it charges up relic gauge as it attacks.
Nova Blast may seem underwhelming just from the look (a simple AoE for 5th job), but it packs ridungculous amount of dmg. 75000% skill dmg + 100% final dmg + 100% ign defense. Cherry on top, u can use it as iframe move as well.
Obsidian barrier is great party utility. It provides barrier that blocks 40% of max hp dmg so u and party members can tank stuff like lotus' laser and laser field, and papulatus' laser AoE and floor crack patterns. It also gives party members boost in crit dmg when they attack boss with relic debuff, and u can use it situationally. Discharge makes barrier to follow you around so it's good when u have to constantly move (lotus 1st phase). Transition allows u to replace the barrier every 2 sec so u can use it on bosses that keeps moving alot (damien & lucid 2nd phase). Blast also gives you barrier that also attacks so u can use it when boss is standing still (lucid 1st and 3rd phase).
The class is still extremely new. Give it time and it'll die out.
Be warned...if you can't do the shield skill properly you will lose a LOT of DPS...I know cuz I suck at properly proccing it.
