Interesting Classes, your opinions?

Well, I just got 25k NX (I know it's not much but when you got bills to pay along with gas for a gas guzzling car, $25 is a lot) and I was thinking of getting an Extra Character Slot for Bellocan. Now here's the thing, I am currently using a Kanna as a main there, but since I am starting out in a new world and I have had some help from some very generous folks, I was wondering what are some interesting Classes?
Now you're probably wondering "What in the h e double hockey sticks is this guy talking about?" - It's simple, I want to know what YOU think is an interesting class. I am not concerned with "OMG I SO OP DUDE I LIEK SO OP LIEK OMG", I can care less about doing the most damage or even the least amount. I just want to experience a class as others have experienced it before. Now here's some classes I haven't played before or I haven't played them in a long time (6 months to over 2 years) - Corsair, Buccaneer, Bowmaster(already played a MM on Bera), all of the Explorer Mages, BaM, Mihile, Dawn Warrior, DB, NL, Hero, Paladin, Aran, Demon Avenger, Luminous, and Hayato. That's simply just out of the classes that are currently available to us. Obviously I haven't played a Beast Tamer or Zero in a long time either but seeing as how they're unavailable, I cannot choose those.
So, what is a class that you found interesting and you played it until 3rd or 4th job just to see it's skills in action for yourself? Or possibly you made this interesting class your main and you now are in love with it. I'm not looking for any advice on how to fund a character, or any of that. I'm just curious as to see the population of Basil Market's opinion on an interesting class and see how they give their own opinion. It can be a completely biased opinion because that's basically what I'm asking for here. Some people have a biased opinion on a class they love but they don't have it as their main character due to factors that are unseen.
Who knows? Maybe you might see someone's point of view on their own opinion of a class that they find interesting and you might make it just to relish in old memories. So, this isn't just for me, it's for anyone who is interested in learning a new class but is conflicted as well.

@xxSab Mercedes doesn't seem all too interesting. I mean yeah the storyline is good and I enjoyed the storyline but their skills are somewhat bland and the jumping to do a skill does get a bit annoying when you're trying and trying to get high enough so as to not get the message "You're not high enough" or whatever it is. The combo system is also a bit buggy, I made a macro with them but it doesn't work all the time and I had to switch it back to normal because it worked 7/10 times when I had it off the macro while in macro form it was working 4/10 times. It's an odd bugged system that Nexon has to work on.

@GlitterPumas Archers? What kind of Archers? Wind Archers? Bowmaster? Marksmen? Wild Hunter? You gotta be specific man haha!

@fitters631 I've started to level an Aran but I got to level 15 before I couldn't continue cause I was too tired. I am still somewhat disappointed that you need to be so close to something just to attack it. It's weird since you're using a Polearm you should be able to attack from a bit of a distance but unfortunately you have to be up-close like a Paladin or Hero just to attack.

Try Mercedes, they're really fun
They're not all about spamming one key, you have to link skills to bring out the best from your Mercedes.
Although Mercedes aren't the greatest bossers, but if your committed enough, you can surely be great at it.
Mercedes are also pretty rare, so you feel a lot more unique.
Mercedes are great mobbers too, and you'll have tons of fun when playing one.
Her storyline is neat, being the queen/king of elves and all.
Plus, unicorns.

@trieudatt Kanna has that too lol in fact I just got my Kanna to 100 on Bellocan and it took me forever! But I got there and I was happy to do it

@Jooce I'll have to try that on a Mule account. I am filling up my 3rd slot with an Aran, but it doesn't mean I won't keep making characters. I want to be able to enjoy leveling something to see why people find it interesting.

All of the classes that I like are ones that you've already played as, haha.
However, out of those that you haven't tried, I rather enjoyed playing as an I/L mage. I can't quite put my finger on what made me enjoy it so much, though. I guess it's the fact that they're pretty good as a mobbing class, and that's what I enjoy the most. In addition, from the (admittedly small) amount of 4th job training I've done on my Luminous and DA, they both seemed pretty fun to play as.

I've heard Buccs are pretty fun buy Demon Avengers have a great link skill if you get them up to 120 (+10% dmg)

@AntiSenpai I'll check it out!
@LDisME7 I understand that odd part, where you have to get close....it's kinda odd cause you use a Polearm which is meant to extend but you have to be real close lol
@Pashmimi Nope, I'm American. It's from an old Disney movie called H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS (great movie for hockey lovers). I was thinking of trying them out, but they don't quite catch my interest. I've talked to a few Paladins and they literally were trying to steer me away from it lol. I mean they at least have mobbing now, back when I first started they had 0 mobbing skills.
@largle I heard something about those DW skills being changed. I will have to look into it because I never really understood it. An I've played DA, they are quite nice, but at the same time it's odd because you're using your HP to dish out damage, it's not something I'm used to. I mean I've seen skills use your HP over time or your HP with MP but not plain HP, it's different and yet it's also interesting.

I personally think Dawn Warrior is an interesting class. Although mine is only lvl 70, switching from moon skills to sun skills is kind of fun, gives me a huge variety of skills to use while training. I have never played a Demon Avenger, but they seem interesting since their skills/damage are based on their hp.

"What in the h e double hockey sticks is this guy talking about?" is now my new favourite thing. Are you Canadian by any chance?

OT: Not dying is always fun, so... Paladin... lots of defense... HP% moves don't really work... aay... But we're getting nerfed so like... I don't know if you want to come over to the light side...

Aran. I'm unfunded and I love it. The only downside is that you actually have to be close to things to kill them. Other than that, it's great. Skills look sick, plus you can kill things with ridiculously high hp if you use tempest so? Aran.

@AntiSenpai If I remember correctly from the Aran I had awhile back, it's basically just tapping the attack key until you get enough combo points to use a skill? I don't know if it's changed or not. I haven't touched Aran in the longest time.

Aran, you can have "OH EM GEEE" damage at no cost, and the game play is pretty fun, not completely about spamming as many people are led to believe.
