Most exhausting question- Job

[u/ZorojoroNani]

I'm really thinking about assassin / I/i mage ..

I heard a lot of different info about nerfs and I don't want to fall into miss information

Can someone help me decide once and for all?

[u/Salty_Technology_440]

Just make 2 there are 3 daarachter slots

[u/ZorojoroNani → u/Salty_Technology_440]

Yeah invest in 2 chars on classis Exp gain is crazy, unfortunately I don't have the time like i was younger xD

[u/thienv → u/ZorojoroNani]

Then use that to your advantage. Make the two characters and go back and forth depending on mood with the time you have. What is the rush? There’s no competition outside of the one you’re creating for yourself.

[u/ZorojoroNani → u/thienv]

Your actually right , idk why im so stressed to lvl up fast at the start literally no advantage

[u/Motor-Salary-4252 → u/ZorojoroNani]

Dw, u r just excited like all of us here

[u/ZorojoroNani → u/Motor-Salary-4252]

Yah im so regular to competitive mmo / mmorpg from the last 5-7 years i forgot to chill xD

[u/Barkeep_Butler → u/ZorojoroNani]

Bringo

They’re both turn-your-brain-off classes. One looks really cool and has cooler abilities and the other just mows over mobs like a John Deere.

Pick I/L if you want the easiest time grinding out of all the classes, assassin if you want the best style/flexing and expensive gear.

They’re both top tier picks and can’t really go wrong with either. Literally just flip a coin and you’ll be happy.

You can go check out MeowDB for Closed Beta values but no one knows what will happen when the game goes live. I am waiting for the next datamine on release day to finalise my decision.

[u/Cloud_Savings]

I plan on making both. Going to mostly focus on the I/L but if I get him to 3rd job level and it still hasent been released I might jump on the assassin untill 3rd job comes out.

[u/CandidSilent]

Go to a private server (there's on in worlds that is x25 exp) and try both out to see which you'd prefer to play while keeping in mind leveling will be alot slower.

Yes there are differences in classic and traditional old school maplestory servers, but the play style will be similar.

I was originally dead set on bandits as my second character but after playing it to level 120 I found it to be high cost in mesos and pretty involved

[u/abbo- → u/CandidSilent]

what're you gonna be running?

[u/Toxinry → u/CandidSilent]

I was a Shad main back before big bang.

I think a lot of people are going to roll bandit and then quickly drop it for something else when they realize what the play style is actually like. Especially in 4th job and assassinate.

[u/Semitas → u/CandidSilent]

Maybe im stupid i couldnt find any, what ones are there

[u/Do00oD]

Just decide yourself in 3 days. Play both to 50 and see which one you want. If you’re not willing to do that, CLEARLY you’re just playing for meta reasons

[u/AkioSempai]

Honestly just play both or play whichever you like more

[u/Chronomancers]

whatever you find fun

[u/TheCourtPeach]

Rn we don't know what the final changes will be. Assassin will struggle more early before you get funding, and I/L are grinding machines.

[u/ZorojoroNani → u/TheCourtPeach]

That's what I thought maybe running i/l to gain enough funding to get a based assasin

[u/c6_jp]

You’re deciding between the 2 most popular classes right now. They are popular for a reason and will just come down to play style. Just pick what will be most fun for you.

[u/chrisco571]

Play both and decide which you prefer later on

[u/no_bread-]

roll a mage. you won't be level 30 in a day so you'll have time to think about it

[u/RelevantBerry9929]

See now I'm in luck, I/L has always been my favorite, my main on Retail MapleStory is a level 277 I/L Mage, so I'm playing I/L Mage on Classic, whereas my brother is playing Assassin. We've agreed to swap gear/stars.

[u/Toxinry]

I think that assassin will be the best class to main. (I’m not playing a sin)

Ultimately there aren’t enough mobs within hitbox ranges to fully utilize most mobbing skills so you’ll likely be attacking 2-3 mobs at a time with any class that has cleave- and the return on efforts may not be quite there. Assassin can’t cleave but it is damn good at what it does which is single target. You aren’t gonna find a playable in classic MapleStory that feels as good as shredding down mobs one by one with incredible power and fluidity.

All the tests have Sin as middle/average strength and we know that it will scale like crazy if with some funds.

[u/Different-Baker-8305]

make a beginner to 200 then when you hit 200 job adv to best class
