^ At a solid +3 to every stat save +2 on mdef, I don't see how you can say it's bad stat-wise, unless you've decided to specialise. Past level 100 also only Strider and Magic Knight get stat gains to everything. Again, you can do better if you decide to specialise; but for people wanting an all-rounder then leveling as these two are where it's at.

Depends a lot where you play too. As a Magick Archer I can sit back and spam Ricochet Hunter all day errday, killing things before I even see them - doesn't matter that my stats aren't as good as a min-maxed character, as long as indoors = i win.

The new classes are strong, but the base ones aren't entirely outclassed - especially with the level 200 cap which really stops things rather prematurely imho.
