I decided to make myself a Cleric, since CB training became too expensive . To my surprise, Mages are extremely easy to level. They've got the Range of Sins, and have the potential to outdamage them at earlier levels (actually, the potential to outdamage most classes without Funding, especially around Level 20). Now it's level 32, and I'm hoping to be able to Ludi PQ before the end of the Week (going from training at .1% a Kill on a CB to .8 a kill on a Cleric makes leveling a breeze ). I'm still pretty new to Mages, though, so any advice would be appreciated.

that's nice to here
Bands: does it matter?

oh noe, sins got much better range. mages can only hit around the map view's range, plus only around 10 degrees off from horizontal, while sins (with maxed keen eyes) can hit around five more inches radius around from the character, almost vertically sometimes..

Mages are hardest to fund (not enough good items you can get) and so they are one of the weakest classes during 2nd job.. (besides pages)
especially if you're a wizard, you will find it hard to get into pq (clerics are prefered) and to train (because of lack of funding)

It depends on area, and the skills you have. At around 49-50, I was dealing up to 1200-1300 on Zombies (not much funding, just my nocturnal and an Ic 2) with Heal. I haven't tested my damage as of late (65), but now that I have better funding, it won't be too shabby. And I was only comparing first job, not second, third, or fourth. In first job, mages do have staggering power (until a bit after 30, where every other class begins to catch up ).

Also, I've played both a sin and a mage, and I haven't noticed much of a difference in their range. Seeing how Mages are constantly teleporting, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
