well here u got some info
FIRST OF ALL , LOOK AT WHAT U WANT IN THIS GAME .. u want to be good at pvp? killing uniques? or be a good mob killer
we do it with 10 points =) and ofc this is my opinion , but I am playing long enough for it to be a fact
Chinese characters :
PVP : 7 points ( Blader / SwordShield hybrid / bower ) chinese chars are good but sometimes good isn't enough
Mobs : 9 points ( any class , they survive because of no delay ) I prefer s/s nuker for that
Uniques : 3 points , after release of euro , chinese have been raped at uniques so no chance , u can try it , ur best chance is s/s nuker
Now let's go to euro
first of all u have the biggest problem , that is the potion delay , and if u think about it that isn't a big problem , is easy fixeable
European Characters :
PVP : 10 points ( best char for pvp is Warrior/Cleric no doubt and never will be )
Mobs : 10 points ( Wizard/Bard makes you so fast in killing and u wont get attacked by many mobs ) or rogue/bard > u will be fast and you have distance )
Uniques : 10 points ( Rogue/bard OR wizard/Cleric )
as we can see , 30 points to only 19 , euro is much better and you have so many things to do with
like I said this is my opinion , and a lot of people will agree with it ^^
I hope this helps u with ur choise or character =)
AND don't forget this :
you need to spend money .. this game isn't for free , so when u start , know this
you will be spending 200 euro's minimum by the time ur lvl 100
atleast if that is ur goal
