I think u ended up in the wrong forum, this is for recruiting members for or looking for a faction =P. Would have been better placed under classes --> venomancer.

Anyways ill try answer ur questions.

First of all the reason many ppl make an alt veno, is for the money. The reason they got more money is because they got like no armor repair costs, don't have to have any mana costs, or hp cost what that matter, thx to some skills they get around lvl30. But when that is said they got costs that others don't, but which only matter to main venos so to say (like upgrading a pet skill cost 100k ea time, those who get nix/herc pay as minimum 50m)

For new gamers a good reason could be that the veno is the so called "easy mode" of the game (lol personally i find this true, and sooo wrogn at the same time). The reason is that the veno use pets, which makes them able to teoretically never to get in touch with mobs (=no armor repair =P)

Good/Bad: (ill talk out form, the most common build (1str 9mag every 2lvls, can take some mag and make vit for more hp)

Good:
Low costs on mana, hp and armor repair.
Both phy (pet) and mag (veno) dmg at the same time.
No contact with mobs (can easy happen if ganged).
Bad opponent both for phy def and mag def types (bot phy and mag dmg)
Almost always got chi, and can share this (due to always healing pet)
Able to solo (more or less jump over the, "i can't get on alone" part that everyoen else get)

Bad:
Low mag dmg compared to other mag classes (wiz, cler, psy)
No push back skill (got hold back in form of pet) so screwed if pet die.
1buff that is like never used for self buffing (but wanted by others alot).
Weak towards phy def/att in pvp, cuz in a dual the opponent most likly ignore ur pet and go for the veno.
Need lot of time on lvling pets.

Now that was for a regular veno compared to other classes. Now venos are also seen as Light armor (mag weapon), Heavy armor(maxed) mixed with mag weap and armor (as high as possible). Also a heavy/mag mix where: Heavy is as high as possible, mag armor is maxed along with mag weapon (often mag sword). Alternative classes, that focus more on the fox build.
