The Basics
The Magician is a class of many strengths and a few weaknesses. Here are a few that you will notice as you progress through the game as a Magician.
Pros
- Very high damage in low levels (by 25, you feel invincible)
- Very high mp (level 30 has around 1.7k-1.9k mp)
- Ranged attacks
- Many support skills (Clerics have Bless and Heal, and even fire/ice wizards have Meditate and Slow, which are very useful)
- Decent accuracy (Magicians don't miss as much as Warriors)
- Not that expensive (although magician equipment can cost a lot)
- Very fun (Clerics can party people much higher leveled than the Clerics to heal the party, and fire/ice wizards can take down very high leveled monsters weak to the wizard's element)
Cons
- Become the weakest class in the third job advancement (Priest's get amazing support such as 1.5X exp and a portal to the nearest town which can take you between the portals)
- Very low hp (maxed Magic Guard channels 80% of damage to mp)
- No jumping and attacking at the same time (Magic Claw and Cold Beam can hit things a little higher than you and can go through obstacles)
- Weak armor (Mages keep a lot of distance from their opponents, and if the enemy uses a magic attack, it will do very little damage because of a Mage's high magic defense)
With more Pros than Cons, Magicians is a very good class to start with!
