[RT] New Player - Wizard vs. Sage?

Transcendence

Hi all,

I recently started on the transcendence server with a few friends, and I was wondering if someone could explain the differences and play styles of wizard vs. sage. I like the idea of casting while moving, but I've heard wizards are better for PvM.

What can I expect from each class? Is a high AGI "battlemage" viable? How do I deal with groups as a sage vs wizard? Better class for soloing?

Oh and I have a phen card and about 20mil zenny, so those are some pluses!

Thanks!

Basically, wizard is the advanced form of the Mage. You get new Area Skills and deal a lot of damage.

The Sage on the other hand is basically a "Anti-Mage". His Role in late game is more of a Supporter. You can guard your friends from hostile Wizards for example.

If you are starting out, I'd recommend to pick Wizz over sage. Sage is complicated and hard to level up, while wizard is highly demanded in party play. Have Fun with RO :)

Also, freecaster sages are more of a fun class for advanced players. Very hard to level without the right gear and some other chars to support yourself. It looks cool tho :)

I agree, except for the " wizard is highly demanded in party play " I think wizards are not popular at all on the ragnarok Zero/RT settings.

Battle & bolter sage mix is really fun. Hindsight from Sage, Double Bolt from Scholar and with Soullink, it's one of the most fun builds.

It's fun indeed, keep in mind that soul link is not there in RT, however, with the skill rebalance, hindsight is pretty good even without link.

Oh, I forgot that I had recently read about taekwons wouldn't come to RT.

I suggest start with Wiz if youll do mostly PvM. Battle sages requires a lot of good gear and a lot of stat balancing and even with taht, your dps is sub par compared to other agi classes.
