Cleric/Priest/Bishop
Pros:
- Very self sufficient, can go from levels 33-120 without using a single HP pot.
- Fastest 4th job training speed in the game
- Wanted in parties
- Wanted at bosses
- You can always sell leech for meso (though I laugh at those bishops, since farming time pieces is almost guaranteed to be more profitable, even on 1x drop)
- Easy levels for every other character you own
- Amazing mobbing ability
- 5 of your skills have sprites of angelic girls if you're into that sort of thing.
Cons:
- Lowest 1v1 DPS in the game, even on holy weak.
- Getting to 200 is not as great of an accomplishment as it is for any other class.
- You get pretty bad exp at bosses
- You get virtually no exp in seduce party
- Shut down versus anything holy immune
- People care more about your HS than they do about you
- Getting to 200 is pretty much only for bragging rights, a 150 bishop functions the same as a 200 bishop at bosses and when training. You only get 1 new skill to mule.
Gunslinger/Outlaw/Corsair
Pros:
- Amazing 1v1 DPS
- Inexpensive to fund
- Wide variety of unique skills
- Good mobility off the battleship
- Each job advancement gives you a huge leap in damage (compared to most other classes)
- Fairly good at mobbing 4th job
- Can freeze monsters
- Can stun monsters immune to freeze
- Cannon and Torpedo have no minimum range
- Homing Beacon lets you effectively fight bosses like HH and Black Crow without hitting surrounding monsters.
- SEAGULL AIR RAIDS!
Cons:
- Damage takes a huge dip when your boat breaks
- Takes practice to effectively mount and dismount the boat
- Extremely low damage 1st and 2nd job
- No Party skills (aside from the common class MW)
- Most people have no idea of your damage potential
