I only have 50m funding. Which job will be more fun and easier to level (with my low funding) after the Big Bang? To all the people who have voted, please state a reason.

i like marksmen because well, i could never get far with non-ranged jobs and i have alot of fun just ksing higher lvls with snipe (we also get the most powerfull legit mob piercing arrow). and, we got cheap equips. i guesss it takes some work at the start but in the end its totally worth it.

[quote] Gino : Don't make a marksman. Make an aran instead. They're funner, do more damage, have better handling, and more survivability. [/quote] Marksmen are definitely more fun then an aran and arans don't do more damage after big bang Btw, fun is a noun.

all the answers youll get will obviously be biased, look at the videos on youtube and see which playing style suits you betteer(just dont look at the damage omg -facepalm- at everyone aran so godly they do 600k) but i do not suggest shadowers their equips are expensive as hell and they will keep inflating you cant compare aran and marksman and say which ones better when they are two different classes with two completely different playing styles.

Crossbowmen are ranged characters, with a not-so-fun 2nd job, but should have a more enjoyable 3rd job. (Yes, yes, fun is subjective.) They do get Iron Arrow as a mobbing move, but this might not be the kind of mobbing that you are looking for, as the monsters have to be directly across from you. Although Crossbowmen might not be known as great CPQ players, I feel that they do quite nicely in CPQ1 Rooms 5/6. (The platforms help greatly.) They are known for being quite slow compared to other classes of the same level, and you will have to walk away from or directly kill a monster if it is trapping you. (You could always invest in speed equipment, but the walking-away factor stays.) However, to make up for the slow speed, you are gifted with some pretty good damage early on. Crossbowmen are restricted to using Crossbows based on their skills. If you want to choose your character based on their available weapons, then look here . Crossbowmen are part of the Adventurer classes, and they do not follow a particular story line for each level. Thus, you will not have to complete quests for skills like Crossbow Booster, Power Knock-Back, and Soul Arrow. Choose this option if you like keeping the distance and sniping a monster from afar. Arans are close-ranged characters, and get right into the action. (Although their Pole Arms do give them some decent range.) They are known for being great mobbers, even in the 2nd job, and thus, their training is made quick through this. Arans were introduced into Global MapleStory with a very interesting playing style--combinations. Arans mob greatly whilst bringing up their combo number, and increasing their attack. In my opinion, this makes every mob fun, as you aim to raise that combo number, because new, unique attacks are enabled at different combos. This great mobbing makes Arans great at CPQ. Arans get Combat Step in the 1st job to quicken their walk. If used correctly, you can be flying across whole maps. Arans are restricted to using Pole Arms based on their skills. Check this page for their weapons. Since Arans are part of the Legend classes, they follow a particular story-line, and you will have to do various quests to obtain your skills. (Like 4th job classes, except this factor starts early on.) If you want to step right into the action early on, with great mobbing, choose this. Bandits are also close-ranged characters. They are known for having flashy skills. The element of speed is also on their side, with Haste. Like all Thieves, Bandits have Dark Sight, too, from the 1st job, which can enable them to walk through most monsters unscathed, as long as the monsters do not use their magic attacks. (I still get attacked by Himes/Dreamy Ghosts when I have Dark Sight on.) An all-time favorite skill for Bandits is Savage Blow. With the exotic Chinese characters floating around, and the quick deliverance of 6 different numbers (at levels 21+), many people drool at this skill. I am not sure how it is as of now, but

Do not make an aran. My aran is level 111 I got bored of it very quickly. Instead try making a shadower if you can actually get to the level.
