I've noticed something. Something I hope you've noticed as well. Something that everyone has probably noticed. Each class has a dominant 2nd job and, along with it, an uncommon 2nd job. Warriors: Common: Hero, Uncommon: Paladin Magicians: Common: Bishop, Uncommon: Arch Mage F/P Thieves: Common: Night Lords, Uncommon: Shadowers Archers: Common: Bowmasters, Uncommon: Marksmen (i think these two are pretty close but there is no doubt Bowmasters are more common). Pirates: Common: Buccaneer, Uncommon: Corsair Why? What makes Heroes better than Paladins? What makes Buccaneers better than Corsairs? Why're these classes so common in comparison to their other 2nd job counterparts? your thoughts? *Edit* to those of you wondering why i'm asking, it's because if i made a Warrior and got it to 2nd job i would choose Page. If i did the same with a mage, i'd choose F/P. I HAVE done it with a Thief and i'm a CB. I would pick Crossbowman over Hunter and, Slinger over Brawler. Basically, the classes ppl don't seem to like are the ones that I would choose

Paladins are a hard road. In 2nd job, they are very badly nerfed somehow. My brother has a low dex page with exceptional equips, and still hits much lower than a normal warrior.

Heroes are fast bossers, and some people choose power over speed. Buccaneers = Power Corsairs = Speed

ExtravaGabe : Heroes are fast bossers, and some people choose power over speed. Buccaneers = Power Corsairs = Speed but Marksmen are power and Bowmasters are speed. How come Marksmen aren't more popular then?

Warriors: Common: Hero, Uncommon: Paladin cause heroes gets into more parties where paladin is more the solo type, and most people wants to bossing parties. Magicians: Common: Bishop, Uncommon: Arch Mage F/P its unique and not many knows how to play it right. Thieves: Common: Night Lords, Uncommon: Shadowers because its not so favored at bossing. Archers: Common: Bowmasters, Uncommon: Marksmen (i think these two are pretty close but there is no doubt Bowmasters are more common). same, they were not as well as bosses, however i think they are getting. Pirates: Common: Buccaneer, Uncommon: Corsair cause corsair takes hella much to get to 3rd job, its so weak through 1st and 2nd job.

Well, bishop good example for this is that before lvl 120 and 4th job came out, back when Tiger was the gossip and highest level, everyone would pick the classes based on their own opinions and all the classes were on the same level. Maybe knew that fire was strongest and picked accordingly. As soon as 4th came out and bishop was introduced with their epic move, everyone seemed to move towards that class simply for skills. That is my opinion but I think something on these lines has happend throughout other classes as well. ( Not too sure about the archers though)

My brother has a low dex page with exceptional equips, and still hits much lower than a normal warrior. that cant be right, if played correctly, with the same equips and stats, a page should hit exactly the same asa fighter, 2h swords have the same damage ratio no matter what class is using it... rage is the only difference. And if that is true... take a look at the damage they TAKE, pages are more defensive anyway...

To my above post, it's attributed to the weapon, and how the mastery all works out.
