Which is the better job?

Hello guys, I need quick opinions on which would be the faster mage to level up and will deal the most damage with basic funding my friend and I are planning to level one of these for the hell of it. If you can explain why one is better than the other it'll be appreciated

This guy wanted answers regarding I/L&F/P and got comments from bishops.
This is why I love Basil.

Judging by the grinding criteria, I/L would have the win.
F/P was made for bossing.

I/L has a better teleport than any other explorer mage, and he has better mobbing skill than F/P (yet Bishop is better than I/L at mobbing IMO)
Chain Lightning + Teleport makes it great for large maps, like Warrior Grounds.

F/P has DoTs, which would normaly be a pain to cast on mobs that doe to 1 hit anyway.
But as a F/P you simply cast DoTs, and then use Flame Haze + Mist Eruption as you main attacking pattern, to beat a boss quicker than any mage ever.

Edit: If you want my opinion, Bishop is the best at mobbing out of the three, and it's also quite good at bossing thanks to the ability to tank it, and deal damage repeatedly while surviving pretty much anything;
F/P is clearly supirior to all when it comes to bossing.
I/L isn't you option, but if you're debating between Ice or Fire when it comes to level up, then Ice would be your choice.

Almost went saying Bishop but seems the poll says otherwise.

In terms of training, I/L wins but F/P deals way MORE damage skill-wise and endgame-wise.
