So far I've only tried archer and mages.
My first character was an archer. The best thing about (female) archers are that I think they look the best in game xD AND they have cool look bows when they're upgraded (have a look at other threads in the guides for pics of them). Bad thing is, they suck at doing damages and they don't survive very well. I had a lot of trouble trying to survive on my archer, and I always seem to die. I guess it takes more effort to raise this class than other classes. Not really recommended as a first character if you're new to mmorpg type of games, I guess. It should be better if you raise it as a second character or something so you know what's going on and stuff like that. If you stuff up your archer, it's kind of hard to keep raising it Dx For me anyway..
Mages are mad. They look ok, although the staves don't look as fancy as bows. Damage is wonderful though. Although we suck at tanking just like archers, at least we do more damage! Sometimes, with a certain combo, I can kill monsters in a range before they even get to me. It's great like that. You kill fast, and earn exp fast. Only problem is you will have to buy lots of pots to keep your HP and SP up. Cool downs can be a problem, but those can be overcome by skill empower points which decreases cool downs. I find that SP consumption is really annoying too, but if you can afford the stones to heal your SP, then there shouldn't be a problem.
So atm, mages > archer in my opinion.
Haven't tried fighters and clerics but I think they're really good. Everyone says "CLERICS PWN" cos they can heal themselves. Fighters seem to be able to fight higher level mobs compared to mages/archers, I think. They also look cool when they rush up to the front to tank all the mobs in kingdom quests xDDD
Oh yeah and hi! Welcome xD
