Thinking about starting to play again ^^

Welcome back!

i think paladin is a good idea to start if you dont go for mage (shadower, dk, bucc and maybe sair is also an option), if you dont mind, bishop like was mentioned is a good

 

Bishop 1) pros: fast lvl, can boss, sell leech later, needed in HT a lot (these are all really good pros)
cons: muled in some bosses, hard to play in HT and some other advanced content, NEED to mp wash (around 1mil nx) also want to hp wash if want to HT a lot, should not do hp challenge on this class

DK 2) pros: even faster lvl, has HB, can do most bosses, hp chal is good, may be sought out in many content if hp chal is popular
Cons: top two hardest classes to play, not sought out in most content except PB (for now?)

MM 3) pros: sought out in most content, cheap, dmg good even with bad gear
Cons: hard to lvl 3rd job, will rely on HB in some content, no hamstring (BM skill)

Sair/bucc 4) pros: sought out in most content, cheap gear(sair) or dmg doesnt matter (bucc)
Cons: hardest to level 3rd job, wont reach "full power" til like lvl 160, will rely on HB

Shad 5) pros: fun (and fast lvl if you spend meso to bomb), can 4-target OR single target atk, valued in HT as sed-target (and extra meso!), require almost 0 pots so cheap to boss with
Cons: worst dmg in both single and 3-target, is melee but cant pin bosses

Pally 6) pros: meta, strong in NT bosses, can single target or cleave(tho cleave is not as strong as hero or DK), option to choose cheap weapon in exchange for some dpm loss
Cons: hard to lvl 3rd job (I'm guessing), everyone is making pally (wow not a lot of cons)

 

its a solid 3rd (talking by myself who begins as paladin on first char and no funds), elemental raise our damage alot, 115+ is a bit sad coz no spot (himes, grims are the lasts), power strike with fire charge is a bit worse than dragon crusher, and mob skill is a bit short, but not so much issues
