I came back to play recently, and I'm in doubt about which class to start, I was in doubt among the 3 magicians, which ones do you recommend? I have about 100m to start. Which one is stronger? which is the easiest to level up? I wanted to create an F / P but I saw that paralyzing is a single target skill, is this a big problem for the class? I would like to know your opinions, thanks.
F/P is the cheapest to fund among the mages as well as the strongest and fastest to level in early jobs. If you create a F/P, you won't have any problems reaching 4th job and selling leech. 1 hit petri is the go-to leeching place for 105+ and prices are quite high as well. F/P can start 1 hitting petri's earliest since they do the most damage with Meteor Shower. Meteor Shower mastery books are fairly cheap and definitely cheaper than other mages' ultimates' books (Blizzard, Genesis). However, downside to making a f/p is that your character's life would eventually be a money maker by selling leech constantly as no boss expeditions would want to take a F/P as an attacker unless you're good friends with them. You would also have to make a 2nd character (lv81 priest) as a Holy Symbol mule and duo client them both all the time when selling leech. People buying leech service without an HS is an extremely rare sight haha. F/P end game weapon Elemental Wand 5 is also pretty cheap so you can spend your mesos on other items. I/L is just like F/P a money maker/leecher character. However their mastery books, main weapon Elemental Wand 7 are much more expensive compared to the ones of a F/P. They are strong in terms of damage but not as strong as a F/P but they level pretty fast in early game but again, not as fast as F/P. Again as I/L doesn't have HS, so you'd have to create an HS Mule character for selling leech purposes and you won't get invited to any boss runs as an attacker unless you're good friends with the party, just like F/P. Bishops on the other hand are different. Bishops' old selling leech spot Skeles (108+) is now pretty bad compared to petris so Bishops mostly sell low level leech (when you're level 12x at low level places). They are however invited to every boss runs as they are very essential to have. Their HS, Holy Shield, Resurrection, Dispel skills are very important to bring along to a boss fight, especially the end game bosses. Their mastery books are the most expensive among all 3. They can use any Elemental Wand they want so as Ele Wand 5/6 are quite cheap, they prefer them. They level up at an average speed but they are always wanted in training parties as well at 3rd job given that they have given points into HS. So if you want to start now and make some mesos, then main an attacker later on or create a new character later on, or if you just enjoy selling leech and just want to make mesos and nothing else, then I'd recommend F/P. However, if you want to boss on a regular basis come your end game, then I'd recommend a Bishop. Hope these will help you make a decision .. Though you should always play whichever class you want and whichever you have the most fun playing
You forgot to mention I/L has more option for leeching aside from ulu and petri. They can go train, sell or self leech at oblivion maps in temple of time. Fp can't leech there because of their element. In other words it's faster to hit 200 as I/L than F/P. But ifbyou just want a leeching money tree just go FP
Oh right, forgot about ToT maps since the door and tp'ing there was fixed the 2nd time .. You're right, I/L is the fastest to level to 200 by training in Temple of Time ..
Thank you for your help and about paralyze, is this a big problem for the class? (for being single target) @itsKate @ImJakeFromStateFarm
