Mk, so I'm in the process of stripping and deleting my Wind Archer because I never play it and I want to try something new. I'm in the habit of picking lesser played Adventurer classes (CB and Perma beginner, lulz), so I'm fixin to making another underplayed class. But I'm stuck between a few options,so I need other people who know stuff about these jobs to help me decide. My pick is between Gunslinger, (sword) Page, Spearman, and F/P mage. I'm making this class with two assumptions: A) I might not make it past level 70 (my highest level is only 76) and B) Balance Patch could take a while. Slinger pros: - Makes up for lack of ranged class (I like variety :P) - Quick attacker - Look fun to play - High dex = less MISS's cons: - Really weak early on (I have a beginner, I can cope) - I hear they're relatively slow levelers due to their crummy damage Page/Spearman pros: - Melee = good HP & high attack early on - I have equipment from DW and Aran to support - Support buffs (HB for PQs, PG for just about everything) cons: - Look sort of boring in 2nd job - Spearmen are slow attackers, and Pages are comparatively weaker - No movement buffs/skills F/P mage pros: - Elemental weaknesses and the like help with potential training areas - eh? cons: - I have minimal experience with mages, since Evans are hardly a mage class (yes, I just said that) - No item support at all So yes, I'm sort of leaning towards Slingers and away from F/P's right now, a little help please?

I had a lvl 76 f/p mage main and switched to a gunslinger and i do not regret it one bit. I liked them since i hit 40 with a strong invisible shot for mobbing. I dunno what people are talking about saying its hard to level 1-70. I found it pretty easy from 40-70 to mob and train really fast. I vote gunslinger

I've been havingthe same problem for a whle now. Exept - Both warriors are replaced with PermaNub and Bandit. :]] Let's see- My input - Slingers - Good in the end, but my patience might kill me by then. Same level as dits I suppose. Spearman - Get boring at .... later levels. Bandit(FORME!) - Heard they get really awesome after you max up sb, master, and booster F/P- Awesome, but the Elemental pulled me back too. Also, the lack of mobbing in 2nd job. Page- Gonna be awesome after balance patch PermaNub - What? It's fun! It's not in need of equips ever here and there. But the lack of skills/damage is boring at times. the dependacy is great. For you- Are you patient? For me - Am I patient? For You and me - Do we like long range or short? I've personally been accustomed to long range and such, but the knockback does kill at times. So I'm switching more on the melee side, and with 2nd job warriors being boring, that leaves me with very few options. Dit, Brawler, All Magicians, and Aran..ANd of course - DW Ooh, I've ranted about myself. Thanks for the space, ROFL! But magic does make me frustrated, for I feel they are good-for-nothng. Or I've tried too many magic characters. So..Dit,Brawler,and DW. -Goes to compare them all- Ooh thanks. :D I've limited to 3~~ :D There's still PermaNub - Goes to stalk other threads- But the questions will determind my final answer for you. Do answer soon!

my vote goes for page. its very fun by 3rd job. in 3rd job you get elemental advatages and stuff. 2nd job may be a hassle with out hb or rage but in the end they are realy good. heres a few cons and pros pros: fun to play elemental good dmg(depends on funding) enertaining when you get ice charge blast is cool hevans hammer= ban hammer cons: slow training no rage no hb kinda boring in 2nd job 2nd job can be hard hope ive helped.

Do answer soon! [/quote] Well, I'm very accustomed to the melee classes myself, and I can personally tell you that Dits, Brawlers, and DW's are all a ton of fun. They are all melee, but their skills are so different from regular melee classes (IE, the other 4 warrior classes), so the game play is varied and interesting. Perma beginner can be a droll sometimes, but it really exists for the challenge of leveling without any hp, skills, damage, and the like with the only compensation being that you can't lose exp ever. Its crazy, but it gets interesting, and when you get into higher levels, people will recognize you for that. [quote] r018704895 : be a troll lol [/quote] Always a viable option, but what class should I troll with?

I have a CB after all :P @above: Ok, I've heard all that, but I probably won't make it far into third job so the incentives are very helpful =/
