Hey guys, I have a Spearman lvl 32 and a Wind Archer lvl 28. I`m planning to continue with only 1 character, or create a new one, because I can`t afford both. And i want to know: Spearman or Hunter ? . I was wondering if some of your could give some advices. PS: I usually like to play solo, hardly on PQ, and I don`t have a lot of money, so I need a "cheap" class. Thanks for the help

I would go Hunter simply because you have range and just more fun IMO unless you can throw a spear.

Knights of Cygnus are always stronger for their lvl therefore easier to solo level, faster to level, and cheaper.

Spearman by far. @mplefreak123, he likes to solo. Cleric would be a horrible choice.

Wind Archers are great to play, but long-term wise, not worth it. Since they cap at 120, they won't be able to go on Boss Runs and such. Spearmen, however, are very wanted in Boss Runs for Hyper Body. They're a bit annoying to train, but as soon as you hit 70+, you'll be having a lot more fun!

Warriors have their accuracy problem, which is an annoying problem for new players. I would go with the Archer; however, Wind Archers do not turn into Hunters, they stay Wind Archers forever.

Are you going to make a Hunter or continue your WA? And do you want to be a good bosser of trainer in higher levels? Heres some information about each: Hunter Pros: -High DPM -SE is a very wanted buff -Hurricane. 'Nuff said -Arrow Rain is a nice mobbing skill -Puppet is great for Luring monsters/bosses -Thrust is a great speed boost (+30 at max!) Cons: -Very slow training from 1-70 -Not many self-buffs -Slightly more boring than Spearman Spearman also have a very wanted buff: Hyper Body Pros: -HB is very wanted -Great mobbing throughout all levels -They get Power Crush (Cancels Enemy Buffs) so they can cancel Super W.Def Up -Generally fun in higher levels (120-200) Cons: -Extremely boring 1-70 -Lower DPM than Bowmasters Hope this helps you chose! HF with what ever class you pick!

above Power Crash is only useful on normal mobs, it doesn't cancel out Zakum's w.atk block.
