Should I ditch my mage?

If you really want to be asked to come to bosses (rather than begging the host that you can tag along) then you probably should switch job...

All characters can get into boss runs, not all of them are there because they do anything useful.



Honestly 2nd job takes so little time now, you can start almost any class and with the right funding and knowledge (you have a Zakum helm so I'm assuming you have at least some connections/money) get to 3rd job pretty fast.



I dunno how right the switch to Gunslinger is, I've never really heard them described as a good boss class but I don't pay much attention to the pirate jobs. >_>
