hey guys, my friend told be he had a level 70 assassin and he quit playing him because they are too common and get turned down in bh and fc alot cuz there are so many. is this really true? cuz i dont wanna get to a high level and not like it cuz there are so many of us.

also im trying to decide what to make my secondary char. i want it to be different than my primary which is currently my sin. i was thinking a ranged class since this is melee. i dont really want to be a cleric and the archer is so much like my sin since they are both LA and need dex. so that means im deciding between wizard and psychic. which do you guys feel has less of this class, is most needed, and is better at pve? Edit: which do YOU think is more fun to play?

please tell me what you think i should do with both questions. Thank You! b:thanks

    If you plan to continue playing on RT as your server, Fuzzy would suggest wiz..

    Horrible lack of them running around it seems.

    Psychics and Wizards are both really high magic DDers, but Psychics just cut it for me (my alt is one anyhow). Attacks are beautiful and harsh at the same time, they have a squad heal that is quicker then a clerics, their soulforce is pretty devastating too.

    But if you want classic magic play, slow yet powerful attacks, and a devastating aoe (Dragons Breath), Wizzies would be for you

    If you like being a special class, wizard is probably the class for you.

    The reason sins get turned down so much isn't just because there's so many of them, it's because such a high percentage of them suck fishballs.

    The same kind of counts for psychics though not quite as much.

    Wizards are kind of a rare breed because they are rather hard to manage at lower levels, often discouraging newbies from continuing them. This is why the few that pull through with it generally know how to play their class well.

    If you don't want to get turned down for squads though, there's an easy solution: Start your own squads.

    Best of luck. I think you'll like the psychic class. It's almost like a wiz, but with faster casting. But then again, wizzies are a rare breed. hard to find nowadays

    cleric isnt usually LA armor (but it can be if u want ...), tend to be squishy, but always wanted for parties.

    barb, alwayssssss wanted, but can be expensive with charms... but then again thats a melee class so probably dont want that

    i suggest, psy, veno, or wiz then. you can choose from there.

    if you wanna be kinda unique or rare go with wiz, but psys have some really nice skills so i think you may like ur decision to go psy ^^

    I think you should uninstall the game. It died.

    really i think you should go with the one you feel more comfortable with. i feel more conforable with cleric because they can deal like 2000 damage each hit...
    but there weak against defense

    lets say, if your on a pve sever, you would be great with offense classes. phys are great, and have pretty good skills. but wizzes are the same thing as clerics but without healing powers. but i dont know about wizze because i never played that class.

    chose one that you will be most successful at

    No no no no no no no.. Did I mention no?

    Wizards have the highest DPH (Damage Per Hit) of any class in the game. They are just hard to play as, and pick up at level 60. And with how easy it is to get to 60 now adays. Wizards DO have a healing move called Morning Dew. It is just slow casting.

    Morning Dew is not slow casting if used correctly, I can fully heal a 20,000hp barb in 4-6 seconds.

    Wizards also have the best AoE damage skill, being dragons breath (Making u a must-have in FC squads)

    As for PVE, 1 on 1 Wiz V Mob id say they excel, From level 10-40 I got hit a total of 3 times by mobs (Not per fight, In total... each fight they generally never reached me unless they spawned on top of me), or something like that...
    Once you get used to how to kite and use your skills effectively you should beat any monster without receiving any damage, exception being bosses (Not mini-bosses, as I have killed mini-bosses without them ever reaching me, even if they have 200,000+ hp)
    A wiz can also kill any mob of the same level as them in 3-4 attacks (with average non-cash shop gear) meaning it doesnt take longer than 10 seconds to kill one enemy, making questing very quick.
    Also, one problem a psy faces that a wizard doesnt (To such an extent) is the mana problem. Wizards get increased mp recovery from glacial embrace and at later levels Wellspring quaff which gives you 60% more total mana, meaning that triple spark will recover over 3,000 mana at higher levels, and as sage, you'll be reaching triple spark in less than 3,000 mana.

    Personally I believe Wizards always excel PVE compared to psychics.
    Psychics excel PVP at lower levels but wizards become much more powerful at higher level.

    Nothing comes close to a wizards power at taking down cata-pullers in TW, being able to crit for over 80,000 damage with decent gear (Non-cash-shopper) and over 500,000 with cash shop gear, with a crit rate of over 30% (Sage BIDS) Ive never seen a cata barb with over 30,000 hp so its definitely a 1 hit kill, charmed or uncharmed :P




    In spite of all that info, I recommend you quit the game before you spend too much time on it because PWE is ruining it day by day making it worse and worse. Ive seen it happen to other f2p mmorpg and its happening here too.

    You can get 4 of them off during a sutra. More if you use a pill.

    ^This, on both accounts.

    Those who stick through with Wizards, invest time-wise[cash/coin wise too carefully] will have one hell of a powerhouse. I rolled a Wizard, same server, and she is now lvl 92. I am so, so, so so glad I stuck with her, because now I prefer her damage over my veno anyday, both in instances and in PvP and TW. I believe that a psy's moves are deadly and beautiful, that heal of theirs is amazing, and they have great buffs.

    But I simply can't get over the classic beauty of the Wizard, the amazing moves and combo one could come up with to destroy their enemies, and the ability to reach 10k+ P defense and 20k+ Magical defense without having to nerf their skills at all. Most, if not all Wizards, know their class in and out.

    About the squad idea, yes, start your own squad. I never understood why people were so queasy to start their own squad for something they needed b:chuckle A lot of people are prejudiced against the sin because a good majority of them tend to be ****-bags, attempt to tank everything despite possibly not having the defense/HP needed to handle the boss, doesn't listen or wait for their team mates because they can stealth and run everywhere. Its, sadly, a class that attracts the most arrogant. I feel sorry for the decent Sins out there that are shrouded by their disappointing counterparts =/

    Bull****.

    If you like psychics so much why do you just suggest to take clerics out of the game.... Id like to see a psychic heal in FC.

    cooldown 3second
    20 meter aoe
    instant heal 20% of base m.atk + 1070

    The heal skill in there that can heal the most amount of hp in the least amount of time is Morning Dew as when using Sutra you can cast 4 in 6 seconds, thats 4,000hp + 35% magic attack (x4) (which is very high because wizards tend to be pure magic)
    For me it comes out at about 20,000hp in 6 seconds ^.^
