Help decide on an new class

Assassin's require elemental sets (can be expensive) to deal the most damage possible and they are really hard to level up since you heavily rely on backstab which is a single target skill. HW is going through something at the moment and I wouldn't head that way unless you know what your doing and have at least enough money to get the ball rolling. I don't know anything about ninja after rebalance and bishop becomes a really good all rounder once you reach lv 180 and get nemesis which is bishops strongest damage spell that is also aoe.

Hello. May I take some of you time to talk about the alpha element of light?

Unlike other elements that do either increased, mid or lessened damage, light element does either mid or increased damage.

Even more awesome is the classes naturally associated with light magic.

First theres the paladin. Tho they do low dps they have high damage one hit skills. One that increases damage at high HP and another that increases damage at low hp. Combined with the high elemental resistances and a healing skill and multiple healing buffs, you dont have to worry about your hp. Rather, the boss should be worried because not only are you hard to kill, you have various options to do quick and high damage skills at either low or high hp. Of course, it has it's faults but it doesnt take much to cover them. And have you seen holy thrust? We're probably the only melee class with a magic skill that does super high damage. It even scales to atk and current hp instead of matk. Thats right! A magic attack that doesnt use matk. Combined with the highest defenses and hp in the game its definitely an underrated class. Ironically pairs perfectly with bishops.

Then there's the bishop. Inarguably the easy mode of iruna online. You dont die when you are killed and if you have low hp you can just heal everything to full then go back to spamming your main damage skill, nemesis. Combined with various high tiered support skills, its absolutely understandable why its such a highly valued class to have in a party. Its is also one of the most if not THE most tanky magician class. Has decent to high dps and is versatile for whatever you want to do. Truly, a high tier class.

Even without the classes, surely, you can understand why light magic is the best element right? Its damage is never underwhelming and the skills related to it are never disappointing.

And surely, you wouldnt want to be one of those icky edgelord dark users right? They go against the will of Almas, the heretics. Sure they do high damage but so can any element with the right build and equipment. At least light magic classes dont get one shotted by bosses easily because our defenses are thiccc asf and dont have overly complex damage set ups (Press F for HW and ench).

Join the light and be given salvation today

Reject and you'll be labelled as a heretic. Surely, you dont want to be a heretic right? RIGHT?

(Seriously we are not a cult, stop thinking that)

My current favorite class right now is gladiator. The class is very pot hungry till you reach lv 260 and get bloodthirst which makes all skills 1 mp and heals hp and mp from atk by chance, the less hp you have remaining the longer the duration of the buff. Even without the best gear possible I can do solid damage and most bosses are easy since all I need is solid skin skill if a boss does a buff wipe unlike enchanter.

I would say gladiator is very underrated since in later stages it requires less outside support but still contributes a lot to the party. It's not the most versatile class but I would say it works well in pt and as solo. I would bet that gladiator would have been more popular than sniper if gladiators skills had wider aoe range like arrow rain which I believe is the widest aoe skill in game.

My gladiator is still lv 290+ as I haven't had enough time to sit and do long grinds as I write this on my lunch break. My gear is Red Tengu V s, Bellow of Order s, Monty Beret s, and Specia's Blessed Stone 2s, all my xtals are ideaus. Stats str & crt 300, dex 260, and vit 256. I can tank yardes special 2-3 times without solid skin.

I vote for clasic caster mages too.

Bishop
They are self sustainable since always (Unlike Magic Ninja)
They are always welcomed in parties
They can heal
Recover enough MP by themselves
High survival
They have access to an AoE, Nemesis (Lv 180)
Medium DPS
They are "cheap" to build

Necromancer
They are independent thanks to their summoned wraits
They can heal MP
They can be self sustainable thanks to Drain and Bone Knight
They got Buffed these last updates
They got multiple AoE
Their main spells cost is almost inexistent
Very High DPS
Low to Very High Survival (Based on what you get possessed)
Relatively "cheap" class
*Lets be honest: Dark mages are always cool AF

Summoner
Well, Summoners are no technically mages, but, C'mon, they heavily rely on their MP and literally Summoning monsters.

Their summons can either Tank, Heal, Heal MP or give some debuffs/buffs
They are basically a 1 person whole party
They got buffed, so they are good alone or in party
High DPS
High Survival (As long you got summoned beasts)
Cheap to build
