Personal overview.
Personally i been playing Awakening Striker for almost 3 Yrs and i absolutely love my Striker. I play Awakening Striker for PvP and PvE. Obviously there are other classes too that Outperformance Striker in PvE & PvE. But despite that being the case i still play Striker. by the end of the Note. i just want to say, You should always play a class that is fun and enjoyable for you. Black desert is just a game and it should be played like a game (To have fun). I can grind for hours and hours with my class but i can't grind more than 2hr with any other class. I would personally recommend you should play an class that you have fun with. and that will help you play this game for longer and better.

That's all for my Awakening Striker guide. in future i will make Succession Striker guide too.
