Angelicbuster

Quitting my DrK for an Ab

I'm in the mood for something fun, fast paced, unique and a TON cheaper compared to the other classes. I got mine to 84 in a day and I was wondering, before I dedicate a ton of funds to it, what should I know about it?

Pros/Cons please? =D

Angelic Buster is fun, flashy, original.

We have many pros, because:
We have insanely high mobility
Gargantuan attacking skills
Low lines, high damage
We're pink and sparkly
Easy to fund, as pirate equips are deflating (in Windia at least)

There are many bad parts to Angelic Buster though as we have:
Slow attacking speed
No party buffs
No booster
When we cap, we'll fall behind, because one line of 50 mil versus 7 lines of 50 mil, further restricting our damage.

Recommend changing the transformed look ASAP. After 120 levels, I couldn't stand the default AB character anymore

If you wanted someone to pay attention to you I'm sure all you had to do was ask your mommy.

OT: Thanks everyone!
I'm level 92 now and really enjoying the class, can't wait until 4th job!

1st - 3rd job are kinda meh. Since you are 84 already, the tough part is almost over.
4th job is when things get interesting. You get a strong 1v1 move (Trinity) as well as a equally strong mobbing move with long range and height (Roar)
Ribbon and Soul Resonance can be considered your map nukes, they clear maps fast.
The recharge system is kinda meh. But in 4th job, it gets better because of Affinity 4.

Pros:
- double flash jump and grappling hook for mobility
- hits high with low funds, you can cap with trinity (50m) at around 800k range? with crit and the finale ribbon debuff on a boss
- forces you to play with your brain a bit? can't hold down a button and do something else like all the other classes
- AB is a pirate and uses dex, dex and pirate gear are cheap compared to all other classes excluding bowman, in Bera, the Fafnir Shooter goes for under 1b, roughly 600m
- almost every move is suuuper flashy, looks at Supernova and Soul Resonance
- take half damage from everything thanks to Power Transfer (I find this skill kinda weird because it doesn't show remaining time like the other buffs)

Cons:
- recharge system is kinda derp, it isn't as great as it could be (at 150, you get a hyper skill that gives you infinite recharge for 30 seconds, great for spamming Seeker)
- slow attacking moves, you can remedy this with dSI and green MPE pots or real SI if you party with a Bucc / Thunder Breaker
- people find the voice annoying, remedy this by muting sound I guess, after a year, you get used to it (much better than Kaisers though)
- might have to self scroll and cube your own shooter, there isn't much demand for pre-scrolled ones (my gear was self scrolled and cubed cause the market hates ABs)

We're very mobile, and the recharge system makes it so that you have to rotate your attacks instead of just spamming one skill. This makes general training more interesting and keeps you alert while playing. Even with low funding you'll see high numbers.

However, the recharge system makes us lack when it comes to bossing. You'll be able to solo bosses still, just not as fast as most classes. The two main bossing skills, Soul Seeker and Trinity, need a lot of improvement.

We also get no booster so our attacks are kind of slow, but you can counteract that with decent speed infusion and green potions from MPE.
