[Question] Whats The CHEAPEST CLASS?

Herc isn't required to play a veno. I solo'd a lot with my glacial(not my first veno btw, the lvl 30 was a restart).

Yes but skill books, gear, shards they are the same for all. Veno is "cheap" just cuz u save some coins and buy less pots and that is all. And when you are big lvl, no one take you to FC or Delta, maybe for Nirvana but they all want sage amp dmg wich is 30 mil. And to make nirvana you need a very good HP and gear. So....like i say, there is no cheap class.

Cheapest class is friendly female cleric cuz ppl give you so much stuff hoping you'll do stuff with them later.

any non aps/channelling / r9 / nirvy class that u can shard endgame with DoT's. I'd say wizard is the cheapest, books, gear, and a lot shard with DoT's.

how is wiz a non r9 class? and arcanes with DoT's are basically cat food to aps.

Seeker -> pays mirages for buffs

Mystic -> pays TONS for MPpots

Cleric -> as well high MPPots cost (but get usually all bh/fcc runs for free)

Wiz -> need HP Pots to survive

Archer -> pays for Arrows

Sin/BM -> high cost for R9 gear and HPpots

Barb -> high repair costs + MPpots (but get usually all bh runs for free)

Venos ->high costs for cages, pet skills, herc

so cheapest class is: Psy

My thought as well. Psy doesn't need -chan, robes are cheap on repairs, after lvl 75 mp pots are cheap and it hits pretty hard even in tt99.

Also MP pots to restore mana to cast spells and has repair cost if he is tank.

Maximum my repair cost was 113k (durability of 2 items become 0) after hours of fight.

If we compare all classes, Venomancer is cheapest, since she has free MP, can restore HP using MP and has tank, so she not need repair her equipment.



Venomancer can tame wild pets, which have skills already.
Venomancer can tame and sell rare pets (unique ability).
Hercules is legendary end-game battle pet (like R8 for other classes).

Veno is my main (well, one of them, I think my cleric is my main too, if you can have two mains) and I love it but I don't think it's the cheapest like so many others seem to think, but then maybe that because I find it boring to sit there and let the pet do all the work.

Most mobs don't come equipped with four skills. And if your going to do Tw or PVP nothing will compare to a nix.

Venomancer can tame and sell rare pets (unique ability).

Not as profitable as people think. Camping a site for several hours along with other venos for the chance to catch one rare pet you might be able to sell for 200k to 2m.

You fail to mention the nix, which usually is required if you want to join any major TW faction.

A veno's farming ability, as far as I can tell is limited to soloing TT, grinding, and doing events - if you get people to see you know your class and have quick reaction you have a chance at farming Nirvana during 2x. Since herc, even at 100, can get one shot in 69 we can't exactly sell TM69. Clearing fcc alone would take forever so there goes selling xp room. After repairs and pot costs my cleric makes more profit grinding than veno because she can aoe grind spiders in avalanche.



That's my 2cents, for what it's worth.

ehh veno may be a cheap class but you will end up paying still alot on gear like the rest of us..and the herc/phoenix if you choose to get it.Stank gender lock never been my thing so i always stayed away from veno...yeah mystics use alot of mana but i would rather be a mystic..to me they more useful,so dont get mad at me venos cause all i need from u guys is brambleb:laugh But amp every now and then rocks..

Cheapest for doing what exactly? I can only give my two cents from a purely PvE perspective.

Until you go demon/sage, veno is probably the cheapest because they rarely ever have to repair and have skills that allow you save pots. Some of the skill books (especially the ones you're expected to have) will kill you if you're not rolling in cash. IMO, hercs are highly overrated. A lot of people will actually applaud you and consider you a better player for getting to the higher levels without the big yellow crutch! You can do perfectly fine in PvE with a glacial walker or something else with similar stats as your everyday pet. Any veno that thinks they need a herc is probably not a very good veno. PvP is another story... good luck with that if you don't have a nix.

TL;DR version: Veno is definitely not the cheapest if you plan to play it beyond 89 and upgrade your skills to 11. Channeling gear is not something that you absolutely have to have, but it definitely helps. Add more to the cost if you plan to PvP since you will need the nix!

Psychics may actually be the most affordable to play since they don't need the fancy channeling gear that most mages use and their demon/sage skill books are pretty cheap when compared to other classes, but they do have soulforce which is tied to gear refines. Refines are not cheap.

I guess it really depends what you want to do and how fancy you want to get. Putting anything in +12 reputation gear with decent shards is going to be expensive. For PvE, a psychic using TT90/99 gear and semi-decent ornaments with not-so-awesome refines is still going to hit like a truck. Survivability is going to be more of an issue when compared to someone using godly equipment, but a psychic in average gear is still pretty damn decent... and fun!

That's just my two cents! :P

I have found my venomancer to be the cheapest character that I have, she is 91. Overall the repair costs are among the lowest, and you only need to purchase a few hp and mp pots for those "just in case" moments.

Unless you want to completely expand your pet bag, which is not necessary, you can farm the mats needed to expand it a few slots, without paying anything.

You can also farm your own gear in Twilight Temple so overall that can be totally free as well. If you wanted channeling gear and you wanted to be cheap for after 90, invest in OHT gear.

I have also found most venomancer skills in the auction house to be at a fair price, then again, you could just farm the money to make a book clip.

As for a herc, which you do not need as well, just tame a tank pet (such as a golem or bear). If you feel that your pet is not good enough compared to a herc, farm in Dragon Temple until you get a couple of herc skills. My bear so far has Protect and it has more magic defense than the herc with the same buff on; I'm working on getting Strong and Blessing of the Pack for my bear as well.

Overall, if you have the patience, you pretty much don't have to spend much or at all for the venomancer. Also, the venomancer in my opinion is the most fun class to play simply because you feel cool having a pet that kills for you, plus the debuffs make you wanted in Nirvana, TT, and Frost. b:thanks

Whats the cheapest class and fun class to play? b:victory
thanks for the responses =]

AND NOW, FOR THE CORRECT ANSWERS!!!!!

Cheapest For PvE

Cleric or barb, with the edge towards barb up until end game nirvana runs, then edge to cleric. They get squads whenever they want, people always want their buffs, sometimes they get paid to do runs, get first pick of mats in TTs, free wine, all the FBs you could ever want, only need to find each other to do anything in game.

Cheapest For TW

Archer - range, stuns, aps, good damage (epic against AA), decent defense skills, barrage is sexy - all for the price of rank 8?

Cheapest for PK

Sins - easiest aps class, best pk skills, learn how to stealth and IG and there is almost no chance for someone to kill you unless you **** up. If you decide you want to go for elite gear, you at least have the means to farm more of it than any other class.


Now, most fun?


Most Fun for PvE

Probably Barb. Everyone wants you, everyone needs you. Leader of the pack, you run through dungeons fast as ****, go sage vit build and you are sooooo beefy

Most Fun for TW

Wizard - I shouldn't have to explain

Most Fun for PK

Wizard

Killing people while they run up to you = fun.
Nuking sins dead while in stealth = epic fun
Coolest looking skills = slick
Making people QQ more than any other class except possible sins = fun(ny)

or

Archer

Physical and Magic attacks = very versatile killer
Stun and watching AA classes die before stun wears off = godlike feeling
Watching barb under barrage drag it all over the place killing his own squad = super funny

Clerics and barbs are more likely to get into parties for free, or even get paid to join them. Blame it on the lack of good, random squad willing, clerics/barbs.

You dont need R9 or Full Niv 5aps for a sin to be effective endgame. Abt r8 2aps 5khp with plus 3s is fine for soloing frost for example or even tts 1x. Or you can find another sin/bm/cleirc to two man instances with you etc etc. Then from there gear yourself up. However the above gear will still set you back abt 120-150mil so its not exactly cheap either.
