Describe your class

I/L mAge:

We can tank cause of m/g (magic guard).
We are a mob class from 2nd job.
Fastest leveling job.
Can ks any job by 4th job.
Never get to do boss runs.
Are begged for leech so that they can boss run. (ironic)
Fast. We get teleport.
Hate Clerics.

Bishop

pros:
-ability to heal and dispel
-durability from elemental resistance and invincible (with magic guard)
-teleport allows for fast movement
-magic guard and high mp for potential tank
-versatility of moves and summons, including some of the best AoE moves in the game

cons:
-Many people made one after fourth job to either leech themselves or leech others, creating a glut of bishops
-Can't go into "Leech-re" or any other well-populated places without being practically harassed for leech services
-Because there are more bishops than most servers know what to do with, getting into boss runs is a lot tougher than it should be (organizers would rather take a friend's bishop over some stranger's bishop) plus, the large bishop population creates an artificially higher than average demand for genesis 30.
-Some players still see bishops as a "holy symbol please" level-up service

Sniper/Marksman

pros:
-versatility of moves and skills for majority of situations
-long range capability to keep distance from most enemies
-ability to freeze most enemies
-Marksmen get arguably one of the strongest move in game on single-target damage (snipe)

cons:
-everything a marksman can do, there is usually another job that can do it better, even if only by a little bit
-little HP unless NX is spent on HP-washing
-"lol" MM?

gtfo my tvtropes D:

kidding of course, always glad to meet a troper.

I'd argue though that they're more along the lines of Fragile Speedsters.


It's true that glass cannons are characterized by their strong damage with very little HP. However, if you look at their numbers, the numbers themselves aren't all that big. It's their # of hits that really makes those moderate numbers add up. And that's the defining trait of the Fragile Speedster.



In fact:

thats an awesome website, loving it

You can loot and pot in Oak Barrel; Dark Sight can't. The only things Dark Sight has over Oak Barrel is the 100% physical miss rate and the fact it can be spammed, as well as usable for long distances. Oak Barrel is a combination Dark Sight + Disorder, except the enemies still pursue you, but without the ferocity as before. Potting means you don't have to do a one-two-three un-DS + pot + re-DS. Looting in Oak Barrel? Highly hilarious to do.

You also have to right click the icon to get out early, which i find extremely annoying. I would rather not pot in oak than have it fail 10% of the time though, even though with 10% i rarely ever have it break.

Didn't know you could loot in barrel though. o_o

Right click? Barrel??? You need to use it more. You can break out of Oak Barrel with auto-attack.

Auto attack? You mean the attack button...? I don't even consider it on my keyboard. (i never use it)

Updated.

Cmon people I know some of you know your class so well you can write a book about it

some of my views on my classes are out dated ( as in its been 1-2 years sense i played the class)

I/L wizard (oldest character i have, back when ice bean was main skill to max) :
Pros:

• can max all skills in 2nd job but slow
  
• can freeze monsters
  
• gets mob skill in 2nd job
  
• less pots to use on hp cause of freeze
  
• multiple training places
  

Cons:

• can be slower training then other classes
  
• some what lower damage then fire mages
  
• less lightning weak monsters (at the time i was playing it)
  

Strength Bandit( back when khanjars just came out) :
Pro:

• Cheaper weapons
  
• Speed increase
  
• Quicker speed on weapons
  
• SB is fun to watch as the numbers just keep on going higher into the sky
  
• Quick training if knowing where to go
  

Con:

• Not that high of damage compared to a normal bandit
  
• training even at the best places back then wasn't that fast
  
• still not as quickly leveling as a Sin
  

Gunslinger/outlaw ( most recent ):
Pros:

• double shoot quick and even quicker with booster
  
• stun skill in 2nd job
  
• better mobility then most classes
  
• every next step damage increase ( 2nd mastery increase damage , 3rd job burst fire greatly increase damage)
  
• some what cheaper cost in equipment then brawlers
  

Cons:

• from 2nd job to 3rd job training slows down a lot unless party questing
  
• not as much wanted in parties
  
• can/will lost motivation if not willing to stay with character
  

i know this thread is some what dead but i thought i would just give my 2 cents . Again the first to class descriptions are out of date . i haven't played / touch those characters for a while now. I'm also not the best remembering and thinking of all the pros and cons of all those classes .

Shadower:

-Weak. (low dps on bosses)
-Avoids everything. (40% fake + natural avoid= lol godmode)
-Seduce mule.
-Smokescreen (lol godmode v2)
-low hp, tho we have Meso Gaurd..I have 12.5k hp pretty much to work with, tho I'm washed.
-Expensive as pineapple.
-Has Highest Damage skills in game. (Assassinate & Meso Explosion) LOL LOW DPS THO, TY NEXON <3
-Fastest leveling class after mages. (Taunt + mobs= win)
-Not party friendly at moving bosses example: pap, crow, Anego(Need hb mule to tank), and Bigfoot.
-lolshadower.

Not friendly at moving bosses? They're the only fun ones, shadowers suck when with anyone else because everyone else pins crap to the sides and we cant Bstep

Also throw in the fact we're flashy (Flashiest class pre-pirates/cygnus I'd say) and solo-friendly.

Also multiple skills so you're not spamming 1-2 buttons while training.
