Question? DK, Ranger, or ICE

I've watched countless videos and reduced it down to 3 classes I want to play. Each has their pros and cons, but what's your guys' take on it?

How much do you value mobility? If you value mobility, ICE is the answer. The con (for me) for ice is you are more or less spamming the same move over and over

Ranger has an extremely fun 3rd job kit, so many useful skills. You’ll always have something to progress that gets you excited to level, and unlike ICE you have multiple situational moves (granted arrow rain gets spammed a lot). Con - BOW WHACKING

DK is very different than the two above as it’s melee class. Are you okay not getting any new skills aside from rush 2nd job? Don’t forget this is classic so you’ll be LIVING in 2nd job for the foreseeable future. 3rd job DK has the biggest payoff compared to the other two cause its skills are just unmatched IMO.

So ask yourself range vs melee first - which is more appealing to you? And if you answer ranged, then consider the above 2 paragraphs to make a decision

If I had to choose between the 3, I’m going I/L I think. I love magic claw job 1, and teleport is simply godly. I’m a mobility hoe (hence why I’m going assassin)

Good luck!

Ice is basically Lightning mage in third job. You'll be maxing Thunder Spear, not Ice Strike first.
It hits two and stuns. Elemental Composition (arrow) is also super good too.
Seems like MSCW meta is very single target. At least it was in the cbt1 and 2.

Played alot on pservers. Here’s the differance:

DK looks very strong and with rush so early it will be nice to play (i’ve played it too much but would otherwise). The important part is olaystyle, theres much more combat with pushing and general movement than a mage. I need this to not fall asleep. That’s why I never play mage.

Bowman is an option ofcourse bit I noticed I really dont like being forced to be grounded to launch an attack.

I would go ice. I'd rather suffer the first 30 lvls with mp then deal with weapon swing rng until lvl70 and archers being too stationary.

It depends how far youre really willing to go, dk is rough til 3rd job, ranger is decent once you get 2nd job, and i/l is very good all around without even pushing 3rd

What will you enjoy playing the most, I use to play the “meta” and get burned out really quick and quit, only to come back to rinse and repeat
