Easiest Explorer Archmage to play? Long story short, my alliance kind of died so I'm playing online on my own sporadically from time to time; not planning on getting a lot of help from friends and whatnot. As a returning player who will most likely be soloing the game for a very long time I'm trying to pick between I/L and Bishop (haven't played F/P in a while, word is they're going to get nerfed and was never quite a fan of cooldowns but feel free to convince me otherwise) for bossing. I'm looking to be able to solo Gollux and obviously the two things I'll have to balance is survivability and damage and I'm hoping to find a decent compromise between the two. Additionally I'm looking to be able to blitz through the Commerci runs so I can ge

Better to farm with a Kanna or Lumi? The training abilities at higher levels are kind of bleh for both classes so I'm not as concerned about damage/DPS as I am with ability to farm drops during events, etc, so here's what I understand about both classes. [b]Lumis:[/b] Doesn't need to move, hits the entire map if map is small, sit + spam. [b]Kannas:[/b] Increase spawn rate, 60% chance to increase drops by 30% (so 18% chance increase in drops, afaik), and has auto attack with Blackhearted Curse (300k range at 500% dmg, pretty much wipes anything I'm farming at) which activates said 18% drop rate increase from Monkey Spirits. My issue picking between the two is that very few maps are really just flat anymore so Kanna will have to move around m
