MapleStory/Evan

Evan is a Magician-type Legend class that is separate from Adventurers; similar to Aran.

Story
Once, there was a normal boy that lived near the village of Henesys. In a field, he discovered a dragon egg that he saw in his dreams. And so, the story of Evan the Dragon Master unfolds. In the beginning, Evan and the baby dragon knew nothing. But with the growth of the baby dragon, Evan’s strength continues to increase endlessly.

AP Distribution
Since Evans are in the family of Magicians, they use INT as their main stat and LUK as a secondary. LUK determines EXP loss upon death, and what equipment they are able to wear.

Unique Gameplay
The Evan class has a unique element that no other class has: a dragon that attacks for you. All attacks and buffs are executed through your dragon. The dragon is not a summon; it's a part of your character. After a player achieves level 10 and completes the first job advancement, a baby dragon awakens from a Dragon Egg.

The Dragon can grow and evolve ten times, at levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 160. These levels of growth are known as Mastery levels. This means that traditional job advancements are not required, as your dragon will evolve automatically at the designated levels.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Evan

 * Pros:
 * A party skill that allows to resurrect 1~2 random party members.
 * A party skill that gives resistance to magic attacks.
 * A skill like Berserk, but for MP.
 * Combination of Fire, Ice, Lightning and Dark elemental attacks
 * Can deal critical damage passively, unlike other Mages
 * Dragon Soul (like Meditation) is passive. Being passive, this skill requires no mana and it cannot be canceled by bosses.
 * A skill that maxes mastery for all active skills.
 * Free Evan-only cash equipment at levels 17-21 (expiring after a week passes)
 * Best stats even without Max MP Increase of all mages.
 * Quests that, of course, are annoying, but let you max all your skills. Evans receive loads of SP of their new attacks and has full SP in every single move until level 60.


 * Cons:
 * The dragon only attacks in the direction you are facing.
 * No MP Eater or Max MP Increase skills.
 * Magic Guard at level 30 (Adventurer Magicians are able to get this skill starting at level 8).
 * Poor MP recovery
 * In GlobalMS, you have to buy mastery books from cash shop to max Magic Guard, Critical Magic, and Magic Booster.
 * Worst Area of Attack magician ever made because of the fact that dark fog (the strongest Area of Attack move) is limited to one per minute. Though insanely powerful, it can be overpowered simply by another magician doing several Area of Attack moves in the one minute cooldown.
