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 you are a permanent magician. 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 level 50 bonus numbers are included for reference purposes. These builds assume you are wearing no stat-boosting equipment.

Speed Magician
This build will be strong in PvM, but not so much in PvP or WoE. Your high agility means that while monsters will hit hard, they won't hit much. Your vitality also means that you will have significantly more HP and defensive abilities than the average magician. You do, however, sacrifice faster casting times by trading a higher dexterity for higher viability. Nonetheless, if you want quick leveling, go for this build.

Power Magician
This build can be fairly strong in PvM, though it won't be as safe without a party as the speed build above. 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 WoE and generally also for PvP. Leveling without a party will be harder, but you'll be far more successful against other players than the alternative.
