    Archer: Death from afar
    Wizard: Mass destruction
    Mystic: ??? I haven't heard that they have a major role to play in TW. Mostly support I guess.

    First of all, I haven't really seen mystics be particularily useful in TW aside from their rez buff and being able to toss around a heal every once in awhile. Their damage in TW isn't particularily impressive compared to other classes.


    Archers have always come across as being an excelent class for picking off single opponents. They hit pretty hard, and can use physical/metal damage so every class is susceptible to them. BoA is a nice AOE, but doesn't compare very well to wizard ultimates.

    Wizards are pretty good at picking off single targets like archers. We're not great at killing other AAs, but with undine strike we can still get by. Obviously our biggest strength is our ultimates, which are amazing. We can literally kill a dozen players with a single spell. Sage BIDS will wipe out any HA/LA that's unlucky enough to be hit by it. BT will destroy other robed classes, as well as marrowed bms. MS will stun entire squads in place as well as doing pretty heavy damage.


    So in summary: mystics are non factors in TW imo. Archers are good at quickly killing enemies one by one, and wizards are good for wiping out multiple players at once.

    Wizard Blade Tempest will one shot any robe classes that are near your level, except for veno...for some reason venos seem to have higher base hp and higher hp per vit than other magic classes.

    My 74 Wiz can one shot 77 clerics with extreme poison (non crit)...2 shot against +vit robes (with a quick gush or phoenix before)

    It would probably be the same for a 10x Wiz with R8 against all other people except for R9.


    Make sure you go Sage for TW. For +50 chi spell, AoE silence (instead of single target), Sage BIDS (increase crit hit by 30% for a few seconds after casting..also effects the BIDS itself), Sage BT increases radius of AoE, and -30% reduction of Water and Fire resist with Sage D. Pyro and Glacial Snare.

    if you got some nice refined LA gear can go archer ofc..cheaper and comfy ...but to be OP u need rank 9 bow that if doesn't 1 hit target he will purge second hit..why archer get so easy purge is beyond me and any reasonb:shutup

    as for other class wizards got a name for them self...can't go wrong..they can wipe full squadsb:bye

    mystics got some unknown skill and tactics so far ..i wouldn't rule this one out only because i dunno sht about it ...i have yet to seen to seen a menace mystic but the knock back alone sucks ...also as sin is terribly pain in 4ss to kill a cleric twice in tw(is usually suicide) because of stupid resurrect buffb:shocked

    physics are new kind of and raising in number but they are way OP in tw...so much dmg and and the channel time almost 0....plus incredible defensive skills...my bet is soon tw will be ruled by rank9 psychics b:cry

    Like Nyxyo said, don't rule out psychics. I play both wiz and psy, but I'm sad to say I'm playing my wiz less and less because of the sheer OP'ness of the fishy race.

    Yes the archer would be the easy way with gear and such, he would have a nice 7k hp or so with my gearb:thanks

    Iv played a psy to 6x and sad to say I got bored of it, idk why but I just did.
