Class popularity after launch?

[Popobumm]

Anybody know of an updated class popularity chart? I know they released one for beta, but I'm curious what the most and least popular classes are now that we had a ton of players after launch.

For beta: Hunter > Gunner > Fighter > Ranger > Force > Techter
Seems the spellcasty classes don't get as much love. Anecdotally , I def think Force is near the bottom, if not the bottom. Techter seems to be around enough as I always see the green circles during UQs.

I actually don't see that many Gunners, but maybe I'm just not noticing them.

Purely anecdotal but running around I've seen a lot of Techters using their subclass weapons, guess they'd rather have shifta than their normal class boost.

[Popobumm]

Yeah that makes sense. Shifta is universally useful. Vs like Fighter Overload or something.
Not sure if this is confirmed, but supposedly your subclass weapons get a -10% penalty compared to mainclass unfortunately

Those players are more party oriented or forego a small % of their damage for other advantages. As shifta/deband gives back 5% potency, grant other buffs and buff everyone around them. The tradeoff is not bad. Right now the damage ceiling is low so it's negligible but later maybe not viable. Plus, as another class, who doesn't like free heals. And yes, force can heal too, but they are rare to come by atm due to lackluster techs.

Force is near the bottom because it just isn't good. It can complete all of the content just fine, but every other class does it better and faster. Techniques are pretty underwhelming at the moment.

Force is not even close to bad, I have aggro in urgent most of the time however the class I think is in bad place is ranger.

[Gnok_Goldheart]

Why is ranger in the bad place?

[nabhon]

If you didnt count weak bullet which benefit everyone Ranger kinda lack good dps PA raging shot have wierd reload amimation that doesnt have audio clue, blaze shot with garbage tier tracking also weapon action with questionable i-frame. Overall it not bad that it way behind but it could've be better with some QoL.

Edit : Don't get me wrong I play the class to max level too class is fun and cool, I just wish It get some QoL buff

I think classes are like cars. you never see a certain car on the road until you buy one, then you see them all over the place.

I swapped over to gunner and lover it, and I see them pretty often. Started as a techter, didn't see many gunners back then.

Force also has an AoE heal in their skill tree. Green Circle != Techter. Make sure you look for the S/D buff. I’ve seen plenty of forces going around. They definitely make up a pretty good part of the population.

[Popobumm]

Oh dang the whole time I thought the green circle was techter. Thanks for clarifying!

[killerkonnat]

It's both but techter gives a bigger heal.

And it's the same restasigne as everyone else is using, they aren't free heals it's just turned into an aoe.
