What mage levels fastest?

I'd like to make an i/l so I'm wondering what explorer mage would level the fastest to like, 150? It's bishop right? Is making a bishop and job changing even worth the mesoes for the amount of time being saved training?

[quote=fairystories]Bishops are a lot easier to level because you have holy symbol... which, in turn, makes it a lot easier for you to find parties to R&J with and DI with (after you reach 140). It'll cost a few mesos to job change but if you have a job advancement coin saved in a pink coin purse... use it! [/quote]

You can't unless you want to be missing 30%+ of your max mp permanently.(until nexon fixes the glitch if they ever do, its been like this a long time I think)

@AuraShade86:

No only at bosses. When training big bang does similar damage to paralyze or chain lightning and is a much more effective mobbing skill.

Paralyze and chain lightning are bad. At least fp is a really strong bosser but il mage is bad at bossing as well smh.(no glitch)

[quote=mark24]They need ice stack up to do their full damage. If you are klling sh In less than 5 hits then cl is really bad. Not only does it do low damage on monsters but it only hits 5 mobs until level 187 and its chain is horrible. Bishop big bang does full damage without building stacks and hits around 10 mobs with similar damage to chain lightning. Bishop train way faster than either explorer mage. Fp and IL train pretty slow. IL without frost orb glitch is such a underpowered class Lol. Bishop would probably train the fastest of explorer mage even without hs or the hs hyper lmo. Once you are a bishop u cant switch though, because of the open job advancement glitch for mage. You will permanently lose 30%+ of your mana.[/quote]
Keep in mind that bishop needs a lot more funding to do the same damage as I/L or F/P though. I've put like 4 or 5b into this bish and it 5-shots SH mobs with reg AR

Probably bishop since it has hs.

I'd say either Bishop or Luminous, cuz while bishops are loved by everyone for their buffs, lumi have insane mobbing capability.

Being a bishop/ priest will definitely make it easier to find a party in Romeo and Juliet pq (which is apparently good exp from lv 80-140).
