Which is the fastest class to level?

Godofsilver · 03-30-2009, 11:10 PM

It's been ages since I've even SEEN this forum and longer still since I've played the game; I can't remember, which class is the fastest to level?

I've been considering playing RO again but I don't want to go through the oh-so-very painful Knight grind again.

Please list the two (or three) classes which are fastest to level so I have some options.

IMO fastest to level is barb with ripost and normal hit, very easy to level too are marks and conju, then warlock then hunter then knight.

I still think Conju's.

After level 21 you never need to rest, and once you get to level 33 -> 50 you can use SM with your zarkit which equals insanely fast levelling.

Conju's, hands down.

After lvl18 you dont even have to rest, grinding is insanely fast. Generally I would say grinding is, from fastest to slowest, as such:

Conjurer
Warlock
Barbarian
Marksman
Hunter
Knight

youre kidding about barbs being so low right?

i literally cried (ok maybe not really but i was a bit miffed) when i found levelling my barb was so easy after leveling my knight to 50.

i personally never levelled a conj/lock/marks so i do not know how easy/hard they are to grind.

but i know hunter is decently easy to level, as long as you stick to mobs that arent hard unless you have a good pet and dmg/debuffing setup and kite alot so that you only have to regen mana rather than Hp, but seems to me pets arent all that good with a kiting setup as they dont hit the mob often but trail behind worthlessly, so maybe a protection buff setup and full dmg potential would be more quicker overall and save some points. the one i use for drop grinding has zero evasion tree, but hinder, ss, ambush, snare, tear apart and dual shot with a bow switch setup and i honestly dont even need a pet for earning money.

as for barb, a good weapon, thirst for blood, weapon buff, and beserk really rip through mobs, so much so i dont even wear armor while grinding..and if im lucky i take minimal to no damage with 1 hit kills, and only need to rest when my buffs are on cooldown and i have no mana, or still just throw on tfb or berserk and still kill some more mobs with normals till my hp is quite low as well. (this is only my opinion from a relative "noob" to this playing style, as its my first barb and im mid 43 so of course i may be wrong later..but so far it just gets easier and easier to kill, only the xp gained to level gets more and more)

with a knight, it was pure pain, and i dont really need to go into it all.

overall though, i think all classes have a bit of a "nerf" with the stupid resist/evade rates that are completely random and impossible to counter, as i honestly believe there is NO skill or stat that you can raise to avoid them (I have tried conc like alot of people have stated, and still got the same basic results)
so you'll get that occasional "spell elude and old sotw" mob that drains your mana dry with resist after resist and evade after evade.
