I swear I remember a thread like this being posted once before, may be wrong though, can't be arsed to search for it.
Regardless, I dunno who to choose. Only reason I went I/L was because my IRL friend who played a cleric at the time told me that I/Ls could mob while F/Ps were more for 1v1 (This was before Ludi/poison builds were considered). I liked the idea of mobbing over 1v1 and since he was a cleric already, I/L was the only choice left for my magician.
When my wizard was 4x or 5x I think, I started noticing these speedy dagger users that could hit 6 times with a single attack. My 15 year old self was was mesmerised by the numbers as they stacked on top of each other in rapid succession (I don't think any other class branch could do this until 4th job, not that I had any idea about 4th or even 3rd job at the time). I wanted to be able to do that as well, and I had seen the Cass equipped on someone else and had liked it over the Reef Claw. Thus my STR bandit came into being.
Finally when pirates came out, I wanted a ranged class, that was all. Gunslingers were the natural choice. Got it to lolsair, hated it for causing me to forsake my archmage, my first character. Am going to start playing it again soon though once archmage starts 100% 1hkoing skeles (very close), as my first character is now becoming the character it should have been from the start.
I have had no role models that weren't randoms I saw while wandering the Maple world.
