Class Selection Help Thread

For starting out, Mystic can best solo.
Wizard has the best AOE.
Mystics are generally more needed for BHs and FBs
No idea on cheapest for gears, I don't think you need to cash shop for any of the three.
Clerics can get into parties the easiest. Everyone "needs" a cleric in their party.

All three can be enjoyable.

Um neither three can make money neither three can solo wizard has become a dead class and unless u have really nice friends ull never find runs later on round end game of the three ure best bet is probly the Mystic at least it can heal and aoe tbh even thats not needed these days because off all the apps chars anyways six 100 aps chars just go in **** the shiit out off shiit and basiclly share agro between one another and every ones charmed up these days so if u want to know the easiest leveling char its the sin cause they can solo frost at later stages and they can easilly and very fast clear solo hh runs and every one wants a sin in most runs im always looking for a sin in my squads only run i dont like having a sin in is a GV run thats only cause they lack aoe power so anyways off the three u asked about be the mystic hope this advice helps u out have fun stay away from a guild called the Knights they will bring u down.

I'm a bit confused by all the people saying clerics are the cheapest class. Yeah, mp food has made our mp costs much more manageable, but cleric is still a class that requires a lot of doting upon as far as gear and whatnot is concerned. Poor gear for a wizard means the wizard dies. Poor gear for a cleric means the whole party dies.

I suppose people assume it's cheap because they assume we can charge for our services or something... but I've never done that. Charging for heals and rez is a bit of a nono in the cleric community, and I'd never ask anyone to pay me to run FCC or demand free wines. Saying cleric is cheap because of instances is like saying barb is cheap because everyone will always pay your repair costs. Not. True.

That said, none of those classes are particularly cheap. You want cheap, go non-APS Sin or Herc-less Veno. b:bye

Mystics are more appreciated in instance runs, but clerics are obviously going to top them as far as necessity go. Mystics can be healers in a pinch, and their pre-rez buff is very tasty... but if a party is given the choice between a mystic and a cleric, they will choose cleric, unless the mystic is way above their level.

Mystic is by far the easiest solo... if you don't mind constantly guzzling mana pots. They can send in their pets to tank and DD from afar, and then heal themselves if they manage to catch aggro. Cleric isn't too bad at solo either, since we can just drop a couple IHs on ourself and make with the killing. Wizzies have a bit more difficulty since they're so squishy and lack decent self-heals.... but they can solo too if the player is smart about it. My wizzie regularly takes out at-level bosses with a generous helping of kiting and powders.

My suggestion for you, lalalao, is as Rubblemancer said. Play all 3, and see which one sticks. I have an alt of every class, and I find cleric the most rewarding by far (albeit also the most stressful). Wizzie is a close second... the TB expansion may have made her DD powers simply average, but they're still fun nonetheless, and getting better as she levels.

You have 8 character slots, per server. So there's nothing stopping you from experimenting. b:victory
