i want to try the mage some more, i've only gotten mine to 14. it'll be the second to last thing i level though (before warrior, after hunter). i've decided to just focus on the healer and melee dps trees and they're making me go broke :x

How's the XP rate? and what's the PvP like.

If you can duo with a healer the Mage can be awesome... really nice AoEs. But the cast times for some of their skills are a bit long for my tastes.

The EXP rate is pretty good actually. You level at a fairly decent pace and there are plenty of repeatables (though you sort of out-level them quickly and have no need to actually do them).

Might just be me really but because the skill animations are good I don't really look at the EXP much and keep grinding.

Haven't done any PVP though.

i dueled a couple people. made one warrior mad cause her warrior level was 16 while my thief level was 13 (think our character levels were about the same) and i kept beating her.

lost to an archer though as cleric. i wanted to duel him a second time to try something different but didn't get the chance. i could outheal just about everyone's damage though lol.

then my friend got to 20 and got daggers on his assassin and he would somehow take out 80% of my hp in one go. took me a few duels before i was able to kill him. it was much more effective to just rely on the aoe, the quick casting light spell, and melee attacks than to try to use the earth spell on him.

mace has about as much p atk has daggers and maybe swords, just no physical skills for it xD.

also, i was dual wielding maces. might start just using one mace and one dagger.

I believe you do more damage or something when you are using your preferred weapon (ie. daggers to a Thief, grimoire for Illusionists).

the bonus is different for each class. for thieves it's +10% damage, for clerics it's +10% cast speed, for bards it's double hit rate (that one doesn't make sense to me but oh well). unless there's a hidden bonus somewhere but i don't see anything out of the ordinary.

Ah I see. Double hit rate... lol.

i need a date. also, there's no gender restrictions on dating.

servers down D:

i'm level 39, 36 thief, 30 cleric, 31 bard, 30 mage, 25 illusionist, 22 hunter, 12 warrior. working on getting hunter to 25 to unlock engineer.

finally got to play bard in dungeons. it was fun, especially with a cleric there too so i can just sit there and spam songs most of the time xD.

also, i like illusionist's damage. it seems to be single target focused and does a lot of damage in a hit. it also has a pet that has causes its target to take 10% more magic damage.

-waves hands- are u guys on the first or 2nd server?
cause im on the 2nd one i might have to switch since im only 14 and its takes like 30min lol
