Character worth

I have never made a class high enough to even consider bossing. I quit my assasin at like 44, I quit my priest at like 76, and my mage used to be my highest character at 88.

Being an Ice mage was fun for a while, but at the time there were hardly any places to train efficiently. So I didn't really bother with it much.

When I got back onto Maple this summer I decided to give Blaze wizard a try. I had fun with it, but around 75-ish I lost motivation and wanted to try something a bit new.

Then I decided to go with a slinger. To be honest, they didn't really appeal to me at first. Most of their videos looked pretty boring. But then I pretty much found out I was looking at the wrong videos. The stuff I was watching were videos of characters with their "1337 SKILZZZ" trying to make the video look cool because they can jump over a monster's projectile attack and kill them at the same time or something. Then they stay in their ship for a majority of the video, even though they're traveling quite a distance between mobs.

But when I made my slinger I was surprised how fun it was. Even back in 2nd job when you have "shit damage lol", I was having fun because it feels different from other range classes. I felt that archers were too stiff. Sins felt too...eh, can't quite put my finger on why I just don't like the feel of them. Mages in general feel a bit too slow for my taste. I do prefer them over sins and archers though, simply because they feel more fun to play as with a wider variety of skills and such.

But I felt slingers pretty much solved all over the problems I had with all the other ranged classes. I wasn't (and I' still not) into the class because of LOLDAMAGE, I feel that it's a genuinely fun class to play.

I was originally going to make this post to say not to let others get in your way if you find your own characters fun, but again I've never made a character high enough to be invited to a boss run. The closest I've ever gotten was 101 on Odin, and that's because I stopped leveling my normal character after I got on Hime.

So, if the others are really getting in the way of enjoying your class, try finding some friends who don't care about that stuff. I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't care so much about damage, and would like to boss just for fun instead of "lets kill this thing in 10 seconds or less."

Maybe you can find Southperrians in your server, and organize an all Southperry run or something.
