Well... My blaze wizard is really boring, and I want to delete it and make a Wind Archer or a Nightwalker. I think both look fun, but I want to know what people think that have tried both classes at a decent level(Probably 35+). Both characters WILL be unfunded/low funded other then my 8 attack wg that my characters share and some equipment from my sniper/my cousins assassin. They would also have 7 blessing of the sprite from my new Outlaw. If I make a Nightwalker it would probably be lowdex/regular, and may start out as dexless. I know they are exspenive, but my cousin has recently offered me his old assassins equipment and stars(Ilibies). I do not know how good his equipment is though. ON the other hand, the windbreaker would maybe be able to borrow equips from my Sniper which I have quit a long time ago. Both classes seem really fun, and I want to know which is better to make with the funds I have. I also want to know what people with both think about their fun. I want a class that doesn't just use one skill over and over again. I want a class that has a good variety of skills. Thanks for your help. :D

wind archer has the better variety of skills...just barely. it prolly does more dmg too with bow expert.

As a Nightwalker, my answer would be biased. So I'll say some possibilities: Sell the Thief equips or stars for profit to fund the Job you choose. Or vice-versa. And yes both jobs are really fun, taken from experience.

Wind Archers are better are anegoing/bfing, but if u want the attack boost, if u can get to level 85+ on your own with a NW, (make sure u max poison sling first,and have level 1 vanish) Poison Slinging Jr. Newts in mini dungeon=GODLY Exp I leveled from level 101-102 on 1x's exp in about an hour

I watched a friend of mine spend 53 minutes killing one, and she used apples for 20 of those minutes.

THUNDRE BREAKERS! We rock and throw cool Sharks. =) But if you don't wanna try a TB and experience the awesomeness (=P), I would make a Nightwalker. Poison Training is fast, and frankly, I prefer normal Rangers/Snipers to Wind Archers.

Hmmm... I probably wouldn't be able to sell the equips from my cousin because he may come back and want them back. o.o This is a pretty hard decision. xD Both seem awesome.

I prefer wind archers more than night walker, their skill is awesome especially storm breathe since it has 100% kb rate when maxed + wind walk ( +30% more dmg to the next attack/skill you use when maxed ) = a very nice combo, i got a lvl 62 wind archer now and it does a fair dmg without any godly equips since i'm unfunded.

Wind Archer is DEFINETLY the way to go. - Storm Break, 100% KB and a great training skill all the way through 70-80 in addition to Arrow Rain - Wind Walk, is practically like having Dark Sight, but 10x better because you attack out of it and get a damage boost. (30%) - If you're planning on getting all the way to 3rd job, Wind Archers are again the best choice because of Eagle Eye (the elf transformation) the attack percentages on the skills are ridiculous! (something like 550% and 480%) The only downfall is that if you do the build right, you have to wait until about 8x fully enjoy Eagle Eye. I've always been poor so I don't have GREAT equips, but enough to make me a little stronger than average and I'm cranking off 14k's with Wind Piercing (the mob move) and I'm only level 87, still using an 86 ATT bow. In 3 levels when I get a scrolled Metus, just imagine, 18? 19? 20k? I've had so much fun playing my Wind Archer and because I've never seen such high damage, it just makes it that more motivating to continue. I've been playing MS for the longest time and I've never hit 100. (Closest I got was 96) And I finally think that THIS will be the character I do it with and even go all the way to 120. (The low cap also makes it less intimidating)

wind archers would prolly be borin til bout lvl 55-60 but NW i think r pretty awesome all the time. I have to admit tho, they ARE very overpowered. They deal a lot of dmg. Heres wut i think, if yuo're low funded; at lv 30 get a Sauna robe and scroll for 100% dex, keep it til lvl 60 :D. By then you will have enuff moneys to buy better quips. :D hope i helped

Seriously that guide was written by a couple of amateurs. Take a look of the 3rd job skill build (you cant get Hurricane till 100 and Expert till 110), and I advise you to look for another guide not written by amateurs. TS: If possible try out both classes and decide which one is better, if not take a look of their skills and see which one is more appealing.

Okay... I have decided that if I make a new character it will be a Windwalker, my question is though, is should I just keep my blaze wizard and deal with using fire pillar a lot until 3rd job?
