Okay. I've read every guide made by mankind. I'm still on the ropes, I wish I could colage them together. I would really like some feedback from the people who have already had the characters, and what they loved/hated about them. On a second note, I'm lukless, with a couple mill to throw here and there, if it matters.

It depends completely on what you're looking for in a class.

What is love? Baby, DON'T HURT ME. DON'T HURT ME. NO MORE. OT: I found myself having a lot of fun trying out my brother's I/L for the 5 minutes I played on it. My F/P got...really dull.

I like damage, that's all fine and dandy. I like healing and being suportive, but I don't want to be confined to undead monsters outside of pqing.

We're going to need a lot more info than what you have stated so far.

I just want your insight on the class you've had, what you liked about them, what blew, that sort of stuff. I have a reallllllllllly badly made i/l mage, and no nx to fix her. I can't stand the damage she deals. Are all i/l like that, or am I really that bad at mapling? (:

You guys know the drill. Even it out.

Lol, I'm leaning toward f/p mage, because of the damage early on. does it slow with levels?

I have all three mages :P I'll tell you that each of them have their pros and each of them have their cons. I will help lay out what they are ;) F/P Mages PROS Very powerful single target skill in second job Poison is very effective in third job (mist three channels), probably best exp in third job. Great in CPQ Cons Lacking mob skill in second job. Take the most damage out of all three mage classes. Not wanted in PQs I/L Mages PROS Nice mobbing skills in second and third job. Freezing generally means less pots spent in second and third job (up to around level 90) 2nd most wanted in PQs for amazing mob control. Fun to snipe with (MP3) Skills look nice ;) Cons HUGE MANA POT BURN... Make the least money out of all three mage classes Elewand 3s are really expensive... >.> Thunder side of I/L generally never used after second job. Not really wanted in higher level PQ/ training parties. Clerics PROS Best money making class in MS. No need for hp pots, just mana pots. You can go MGless in some training spots, since you are spamming heal. Great support skills, wanted in tons of parties. Bishops are amazing, Genesis is amazing! Cons Bad damage until 4th job (comparatively) Can be hardpressed to train without a party Very repetitive spamming heal >.> Hope that helps! -Utopian

The only thing holding me from cleric is heal. Would I be able to train properly without undead monsters?

Tell us the dmg and lvl of your I/L and we'll be able to judge.

I hope you mean 4th job, because in 3rd Job, you just have to Teleport. link I use more pots in this video, but it's only around 50 potions an hour.. That's easy to make back.

Thunder bolt has 60 BA and ice sctrike (+r cold strike (2nd job skill) has 100BA I do 1k damage to LIT.
