[quote=Ninety1]i/l i guess

not sure how clerics->bishops and 2nd->3rd i/l mages play post-bb

chain lightning's kind of a let down, i've always thought it hit up to 6 monsters
the skill big bang is also pretty good

oh and don't go lukless like me
you'll regret it

the only weapon that was good pre-bb for me was an e wand, but now they removed the elemental boost[/quote]
Unfortunately, CL's new power boost had to pay the price of reducing its mob-count from 6 to 3.

Well, when I first started playing, I made a Priest. That got boring so I made an I.L. and I'm having a great time now.
I suggest I.L.. Biased, but w/e lolz

[quote=freshpine]Just go i/l. They got boosted soo much after bb. For example their main mobbing skill during 2nd job "lightning" has an insane boost in range and hits 3 times now.

Way to keep things fair nexon >[/quote]
Thunder bolt*
And did it get another boost in range? I know they boosted it for the original balance patches ages ago, but I didnt know it got boosted a second time. o-o

But yeah, he/she is correct. I/L's have the most pure power out of the mages now.
I wouldnt suggest being a cleric unless you're really into the idea of healing and buffing.

Generally I'd say these are against the rules, but whatever.

I/L are mainly attackers, without little to no support skills.
Clerics are quite the oppossite (though they can attack decently).
