Range choice

dps and independent? Corsairs the way to go

decent dmg even with average gears

 

I would definitely recommend MM

 

It's true i hab a corsair

 

All of the above and maybe consider buccaneer aswell. It's quite different from the regular melee jobs and do very well endgame.

Can't really go wrong with either of the archers/pirates.

 

Corsair/Archer for independence

 

Corsairs fits very well on your description, but they have by far the worst 1, 2 and 3rd job in the game, if you don't mind this its fine, they are the best on the 4rd tho
Marksman have a more linear progression, and can do VERY well with a large amount of base int, between those two i think marksman are more fun to play, but it is very personal

 

I would say not corsair. Its weaker than archer/sin until 4th job making it harder to grind.
BM is most self reliant class, they have SE and don’t benefit from SI and have a good 2nd / 3rd job skills.
Sin without SE is fine for grinding I think, just not that great for bossing.
Hope helps and have fun!

 

NL is good for bossing, but very limited to farm.

BM/MM is "ok" at both, also u can join at runs for se mule and mm snipe have fixed damage.

Corsair is good at both, but u have more mechanic to learn

 

I'd say any Archer would be the better fit, Night Lords would need to buy stars and Corsairs would have to recharge their bullets. Another thing with Corsair is if you use all your summons and you die you're stuck on cool down and they also have the worst washing formula in the game, where both Thief and Archers have the same formula.

But all in all it's entirely up to you on what you want to play and enjoy more, GLHF.

Code:

Pirate (Gunslinger)
Code:
HP Gained LvlUP: 22 - 28 hp
MP Gained LvlUP: 18 - 23 mp + total INT/10

HP Gained from Fresh AP: 16 - 20 hp
HP Gained from Stale AP: 18 hp
MP Lost from AP Resetting: -16 mp

MP Gained from Fresh AP: 14 + base INT/10
MP Gained from Stale AP: 14
MP Lost from AP Resetting: -16 mp

[Pirate 1st Job**] Minimum HP Formula: (22 * level) + 255
[Pirate 1st Job] Minimum MP Formula: (18 * level) - 55

[Pirate 2nd Job Onwards] Minimum HP Formula: (22 * level) + 380
[Pirate 2nd Job Onwards] Minimum MP Formula: (18 * level) + 95

First Job Advancement Bonus: randbetween(100,150) + randbetween(25,50)  hp / 0 mp
Second Job Advancement Bonus: 200 - 250 hp / 150 - 175 mp

 

Conversely, I would argue that it is because of that formula that Corsairs are so much more independent than night lords. You are free to pump int and mp wash as you like, because you can hp wash with Stale AP whenever you like. All you gotta do is build up enough MP, then you can reset int once your theoretical goal has been met, but the actual HP washing itself can be done later as necessary. So your upfront cost needed is only the Neckson cost of your [Int Reset] + [MP wash].

Compare this to Thieves who HAVE to pump int early if they want to maximize benefit from HP washing because their Fresh AP HP gains are better than their Stale AP HP gains.

 

Could also consider FP or IL mage. They do great/decent at the few bosses worth running, are unrivaled at grinding, required or great in alot of PQs and don't have to lower their damage in order to wash.

Probably the easiest route for what you're going for.

 

funny thing is that everyone is suggesting different jobs, thats good to see tbh. get something that u like the most.
i would say the best job to play with int is marksman because of snipe skill, but since 150 int isnt that muuuuch, youll probably be fine with any other perfectly.
