I honestly like each and every one of the Cygnus knights- but I only have time to make one . While CK seems fun, I don't want them to take too much time away from my Shadower. The only real purpose CKs will serve for me is to buff up my main. So as my situation stands, I would like to hear some opinions and advice from you guys on which CK will best suit me. Here's some of the criteria which I'm looking/ not looking for: 1. I want a fast-leveling Cygnus. I want one which will level relatively fast all the way through to lv120 (eg. not having a speedy start, then going through 50+ levels of hell). While the likelihood of me reaching lv120 is relatively low [due to my other commitments in real life], I am probably aiming for no less [and no more] than lv 100. So fast leveling speed from 1-100 is definately required. 2. With my current financial situation, I do not want to spend a single cent on equips [exaggeration]. I have enough on my hands as it is to fund my character without NX or merchanting, so I don't want to have another character to worry about (even if it only serves as a BoS mule). That means, I don't want to have to worry about spending too much money on making my character useable [eg. warriors having the need for expensive dex/acc equipment. If I didn't spend any money on those equips (to hit training monsters), then I wouldn't be able to use the character]. That being said, I have no problems with burning pots. I'm used to it already. 3. I do not care about how fun the character is. I have my Shadower for that. This is not a factor. As long as the job doesn't require me to train at snails for 30 levels, then I'm fine. I find nothing wrong with spamming virtually the same attack for 120 levels [eg. applies to Assassin-based classes]; I consider anything other than leeching "fun". None of the Cygnus classes are similar to my Shadower, so I do not worry about making a "duplicate" character which is the exact same thing as my main. I know that no class will probably fit in all my criteria/expectations, but any ideas are helpful. I'm not creating a poll for this because I'm considering all 5 classes . They are all tempting to create. Also, I've noticed that threads with polls have "donkey" votes from Basilers who think that it's fine to not read the topic post properly/ completely disregard it and vote for the character they like.

I suggest a high dex dawn warrior. With Soul Blade, they are basicly the only 2nd job warrior that that can ks. They can be fun for relatively low costs if you pq, or train.(They get soul runner as well :])

I suggest the Blaze mage or Night walker, equipment are not needed when your lvl 70+ because you'll be posioning maps anyway (they both get a posion mist type of move) the blaze gets Meteo at 110, giving the last 10 lvls a quick boost through, while the NW gets TT at lvl 100

I would say Blaze Wizard, simply because if you are lukless, you don't have to worry about high equips. Very low price. High mp, high hits, etc. Plus, you get the full map attack.

Id say blaze wizard or nightwalker. Blaze - lukless hardly any cost. Nightwalker - Poisoning in 3rd job

Thanks for the responses. I've narrowed my options down to Dawn warrior, Blaze wizard and Nightwalker. Regarding the Dawn warrior: How much accuracy do I need up to lv100 to 100% hit all the common training maps? That's probably the issue i'm worrying about when choosing a Dawn warrior. I had some dex/acc equips on my fighter, but I sold them off to purchase the AP reset bundle(s) Regarding the Blaze wizard: Do they train fast? I've heard Mysting for a f/p was supposedly godly (and pizards have an easy time too in 2nd job, but 2nd job Blaze wizards don't get that luxury). I suppose I can make some money of him from selling leech (not sure how effective it will be) if I do happen to get to lv 110? Regarding the Nightwalker: I've heard that apparently, because of their damage formula, the BoS boost for him would be more beneficial damage-wise than any other class. So I guess that's always a plus. I suppose my set of spare Ilbis can last him a while, seeing as how they train with (correct me on this if I'm wrong) Vampire in 2nd job? And 3rd job is basically using poison like a f/p mage?

Go With the Dawn Warrior. Advanced Combo+ Brandish at level what.. 100? Hells yes.

If you mean to buff up your Shad, the only option you have is Night Walker...and they suck hard. Like REAL hard. =/

Blaze Wizards are actually more fun than they seem. I'm also going to make a Night Walker as a Noblesse for my CB.

Blaze wizard sounds like you.

DW need 124 acc (correct me if I'm wrong) to 100% himes at lvl 100 (Brandish + Soul charge = more dmg then a 140+ Hero) selling leech with the CK will be doable, but it will prob only be Harp leech,(I doubt you can 2hit Newts at 120, not sure tho) and yes, vampire is godly, 30% x 24 = bunch of dmg, + it drains, it's heal only just for you and much much better altho you max it AFTER crit and mastery
