    None of them. They all suk imo. Fire and poison got great boss damage, but mobbing is an absolute cancer and v-matrix (5th job skills) is absolutely hell to master.
    Ice and lightning is a giant bubble class. Mobbing is not as good as people say, and neither is the bossing. Mobbing in large, post-200 maps is crap, and requirement to get full use out of burst damage skill (Lightning orb) is wayyyyy too much. You can't move while using this skill and it cancels out if you can hit by anything. When bosses these days have bunch of other crap that's attacking you even when they're binded, it's very impractical to fully use this skill.
    Battle Mage is Blaster of mage class. You smash that keyboard during both bossing and mobbing. V-matrix mastery is also a hell like FP mage. Mobbing becomes alright post 200, but it's still mid-bottom tier. Mechanic in bossing is difficult and damage efficiency is low, due to needing to constantly move around. Party utility is pretty much the only redeeming quality about BM, but with the game being soloplestory these days, that quality isn't going to shine unless you're going to top tier hard bosses.

    Hey, this may be a stretch into the wild, but take a look at Cadena? It's NOT what we had 20-30 years ago, but they're a really promising up and coming character at the moment. Them, and the new one I forget the name, I think Adele?
