Ragnarok Online/Magician

Magicians are, as their name implies, magic users. The skill set of the magician class is a blend of elemental Bolt spells, status-alterning magic, and self-protection. The class also includes the ability to recover SP faster, as the SP requirements of being a successful magician are quite high.

Stat Builds
Note: These builds assume the player is permanent magician and does not plan on changing to a second job. If you plan to job change to Wizard or Sage, use a build on their respective pages.

Note 2: These builds are for base stats only. The appropriate job level 50 bonus numbers are included for reference purposes. These builds assume you are wearing no stat-boosting equipment. If you wear (or plan to wear) any stat boosting equipment, you may want to adjust the numbers.

Speed Magician
This build has some advantages in combat against monsters, but is comparatively weak against other players. It's high agility means that while monsters will hit hard, they won't hit much. It will also often be able to finish it's longer cast times even without a Phen Card. It's vitality also means that it will have significantly more HP and defensive abilities than the average magician. It does, however, sacrifice faster casting times by trading a higher dexterity for higher viability.

Power Magician
This build can be fairly strong against monsters, though it won't be as safe without a party as the speed build above and a player using this build will usually need an accessory with a Phen Card in it. This build is all about doing a lot of damage and doing it quickly, reflected in the maximization of both dexterity and intelligence. This is the best build for War of Emperium and generally also against other players. Leveling without a party will be harder, but it is be far more successful against other players than the alternative.
