Welcome to Gaia! ::

which is better in third class? any pros or cons of some sort? o.o

eh.. depends if you want to waste money on stars

Well I think Sniper/Ranger whatever. You don't have to spend your money on stars and to recharge them. All you need is a bow, you don't need to use a summon rock to do four shoots, but with a Hermit you need one for each Shadow Partner you use. So yar. Sniper/Ranger is the best out of them two.

Depends.

If you want to solo until 120+, become a bowman. They were made to solo, really. From what I've heard it's more of an wear and tear to party than to solo.

Hermits are better for partying. Also, they have mobility skills (haste - which doubles as a party skill, and flash jump) which gives them an advantage. You have to recharge stars, but it doesn't cost -that- much. Maybe 1k tops for an empty set?

On the other hand, getting a hermit stars/equips/scrolls can be rather pricey by comparison...Still, I play a level 95 hermit with avg. level 80 equips and 100%'d cape and scarab and mostly icicles/wolibis, and I do just fine. ;x

Oh, and, while both have good range, poor snipers are more "handicapped" in the sense that they can't jump and attack as hermits can. Though they get other skills that are good in their own right.

Really, it boils down to preference...and I guess what I'd recommend is to look up the skills of each and maybe videos or something to taht effect to get a general idea of their "life" and see which you like better.

Sniper! 4laugh Oh and my bro made some "Pros and Cons" Here. (If you have any problem with these don't complain to me -_-)

Thief - Assassin - Hermit = 5th tier

The most popular job among the thief jobs. Assassins are long ranged classes with claws and throwing stars.

Pros:
-Long ranged class, can attack very far
-Can kill monsters very fast
-Famous party skill, HASTE
-Flash Jump enables you to escape faster
-Can do critical hits
-Can jump shot very easily
-Learns Alchemist 3rd job, raises the effects of pots, very broken skill

Cons:
-Cannot attack close range
-Very popular job, therefore equips are expensive
-Needs a strong claw and good stars, both very expensive and rare
-Damage can vary a lot
-Always has to refill stars to train
-Stars use up slots in your use inventory, thus limiting the amount of pots you can hold
-Not able to mob monsters until 3rd job
-Not many good 3rd job skills
-Shadow Partner, best attacking skill during 3rd job, requires a summoning rock and only lasts 3 minutes when maxed
-Rumored to be HORRIBLE during Zakum

Bowman - Crossbowman - Sniper = 3rd tier


Strong long ranged character. Much stronger than hunter, but slower. Uses Crossbows and arrows to attack.


Pros:
-Stronger than Hunter
-Crossbows are much cheaper than bows
-Blizzard, able to freeze multiple monsters
-Can also knockback monsters
-Iron Arrow is a very strong mobbing skill, can attack through walls
-Doesn't require Final Attack
-Armor is cheap
-At start, can do more damage than mages
-Can stop holding arrows due to Soul Arrow
-Needs the same amount of STR as their level, giving them more DEX than Hunters

Cons:
-Slower than Hunters
-Iron Arrow only goes straight, doesn't spread unlike Arrow Bomb
-Can't stun or freeze monsters until 3rd job
-Hard to train at first

Sniper o.o
