Not necessarily. A mage friend of mine 5.75k hp fully buffed, 7k hp with a GM buff + other buffs.

I chose Fighter, because it fun to tank and fun to run infront of the whole group of people in kq tanking monsters. I love tanking very much, it make you so bright and full of glory (lots of cleric heal you when you tank) unless you failed to tank and let the boss kill everyone.

^ that's with buffs already dude... [but even though WTF 5~7k!!! :err:]

Generally they are glass cannons... Unless gears are +9 and there's a lot of END somewhere... For mages I personally prefer pure nukers :devil:

I suggest mage or fighter.... definetly not a cleric.

Mage is pretty good, except it might be a little difficult to start with, it you're a beginner. I'd say cleric would be the best to work with, because it saves money a lot more than many other classes...but since you want to go a little toughie...cleric wouldn't probably be your first choice...Go with a mage or an archer. Archers are boring though...:/ just my personal opinion.

Since you can make up to 4 characters on 1 server, you could make characters of all classes and choose which one you like the best.

That's what I did and ended up sticking with my mage for the most part. Plus with multiple chars you get the benefit of all production skills and inventory mules.

Archers r the best, u just have to know how to play one. :angel:

archer haters =(

scarce number of archers. Go that road ;D

second choice should be mage ^^ theres alright too many fighters and clerics.
