New Striker/Thunderbreaker

So I'm very interested in the striker revamp coming in fall. This is a question mainly directed to those who play or played KMS or have some information about the revamp.
Are there benefits that come with waiting to creating a striker as opposed to creating and leveling one to level 120 now?
My main concern is missing out on any events (ex. special rings or mastery books) that may require you to make one after the event.

Any info is greatly appreciated, thanks!

The revamped Cygnus Knights got no events when they came out, basically only the equipment boxes. You'll be fine starting now.

I also was wondering i believe making the class after the revamp will probably be better. Cause of free equips and much easier to level and a bunch of other reasons. But if you wana be 1st 200 striker i would make it now.

The class requires no mastery books so you don't have to worry about that. I would recommend starting from 120, if you plan on racing to whatever level. If you wish to play for the novelty, start from level 1 to experience the new cygnus tutorial and the progressive skill acquisitions and such. At the end of the day, it's all a matter of your choice. Personally, I'm starting from 120 and just trying to get as far as possible. ^^

From what I see (thanks for the link btw) it will be a regular hot time event, meaning non-strikers can receive it too. Only strikers will get the full benefit of the hat however.

[quote=PhaseOfFact]Here's what I found after skimming OM, dunno if there are more events that I missed.
"The Returning Striker Hot Time on February 2 will give the Inception Striker hat (10 to all stats, 150 HP and MP, 10 slots, 5% critical, 5 STR and DEX, 5 attack if you're a 3rd or 4th job Striker) as well as the Cygnus Returns medal (6 to all stats, 6 attack and magic attack, expires).

You'll also get equipment boxes for your Striker at levels 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, and 70!"

Regardless, if you start fresh or not you could still get the hat, no?
