2nd class Pro/con comparisons

[narutofirejutsu]

I have seen many ppl in-game asking other ppl what class they should chose, mostly for 2nd class. For that, I made this forum to say my opinion on the general layout of the classes.

Elemantalists(Ele) vs. Summoners
+High early attack power -Low attack power early on
+AoE attacks (many) -Only one AoE attack (meteor)
-All spells do about the same dmg -Spells do noticably higher
damage at higher levels

Final result: Elementalists do more dmg than summoners untill lvl 49, which is when summoners rly start packing it down. 4 earth fairies and meteor can pretty much wipe out the average group of humans in DM. Still, if u want reliable dmg early and dont mind the seemingly no improvement rate, go with elementalist. I went summoner.

Bishops vs. DarkPriests(DP)
+revival +attack power
+more healing -less healing powers
-less attack power than DP -no revival

Final Result:Bishops are better if you like healing ppl and dont mind getting no wsp (as of yet) for it. DP's are better if you would like a more offensive build for your preist for some reason. My sad opinion is that Preists were designed to heal only and that DP is just to hide that from players. But again thats my opinion.

Paladins vs Berserker(Zerker)
+auras +more offense
+defense -less focus on defense
-less focus on offense -skill drains hp

Final Result: Same deal as with Preists and DP's, chose whether you like defending your freinds or killing your enemies better.

Shaolins vs Counters
+attack power +range
-N/a -needs good reflexes in
real life
(Sry, dont know much about them)
Final Result: Go Shaolin for attacking(which is why most ppl do monk in the first place) or go counter so you can kill those mages that always seem to anhilinate you.(I killed a lvl 41 shaolin at lvl 30 with my summoner in ULMT mode).

Sniper vs Beastmaster(BM)
+attack power(directly) +more attack power(thru
summons)
+skill effects +doesnt need to spend time on
INT,can continue with DEX
-more need for INT stat -weak comparibly until lvl 49
-need to use skills often -N/A

Final Result:Same deal as with Ele vs Summoner, go look at that (BM=summoner, Ele= sniper)

Assasin vs Trapper
+dmg +status effects to the point of
annoyance
+range -needs to have opponent at the right
place to use skills well
(especially "mine/bomb")
-less status effects -no increase in dmg

Final Result: Assasins are better at killing fast(well, duh), but trappers can annoy your opponents into typing in rage, letting you kill them. Still go with assasin, too many trappers alredy:)


THIS IS MY VIEW, NOT NECESSARILY FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[narutofirejutsu]

[hooblaim]

Bishops have a kick *** (donkey) AOE which is called Holy Lighning. I must hit 49!!!!!

Edit: very nice guide. =D

[Mcslave101]

LvL 49 is the best attack for every class =/

[narutofirejutsu]

ty hoob, i noticed u killed me today in pvp.

[hooblaim]

Well I'm level 48 in ulmt with 47 SPR and I 2 hit K.O. you, it's really not your fault, your probably better than me in STD.

[ameyzing]

pew pew Hooblaim

[GrindinUrBed]

If that "status effects to the point of annoyance" part is about me, I'm not sorry and I'll keep using my level 49 AoE poison and 41 Spiderweb. :D

[imperidal]

Lol nice guide ;)

[narutofirejutsu]

ty all for actually liking this.
thot most ppl would disagree about my thing a on ele v summoner, and they wouldnt post anything else.
even tho im rite about that
grats hoob on lvl 48, im prob not me lvl 31 summoner
and grindinurbed, its not u specifically, its every status effect spamming rogue there is. cant u at least survive one battle b4 lvl 30 without using hide or stun?? poison.. ok fine, its ur last skill

[hooblaim]

pew pew Hooblaim

Stop trollin! Its me Boxxy!

[Mcslave101]

I can't wait to get back on my Real computer back home and make myself an Elementalist =] Gonna make my friend be a Summoner so we can party and kick serious butt.

[ral13]

Is summoner's 49 skill with 4 earth fairies really that much stronger than elementalist's 49 skill?

[Tan705]

there no way a berserker lose to paladin

[Mcslave101]

never know. They have to keep it balanced or there would be too much berserker's if what you say is true.

[brodiek]

Having Multiple fairies does nothing lol, u only need 1 Earth fairy to reach the max damage, my Summoner (lvl 53) does 560 with Earth Fairy Meteor against the Rhino Turtles (lvl 53 Earth ele monster). And usually approx 325-385 to each person i hit in pvp/DM where as Blizzard does nething from 250-300 depending on elemental def def but ele's Have earthquake too which is then another 180 damage in pvp. thing is that in DM if u have more then 1 elementist on a team there becomes a mass amount of AOE spam xD

Also another thing is Summoners focus more on hitting 1 at a time but elementists are more aoe specialists, though if summoners get 1 more aoe skill down the track they will be just as well off.

[narutofirejutsu]

true^^

and yes summmoners are better than elementalists after they get fire fairy.

I think Trii, probably Sevic, used fire fairy on me recently un ULMT mode. I have the highest hp of any mage lvl 40 and under(and probably past that). He hit me for higher than my 586 hp, with one fire fairy throw. 1 shotted me. i had an elemtentalist with similar int lvl do 300 dmg to me with his fire.

586>300 duh
