Aisha help.

[ListenDana]

Thinking of make an Aisha character, and I was wondering which class line is most "worth it" in terms of general all-around use and PVP.

I was thinking Elemental Master but I thought I'd ask.

Of all the three, dimension witch has the "easiest" time getting around with her combos and simplicity of her skills. Void Princess is arguably stronger in some areas, but she has a higher skill gap to get to that point than DW. Elemental Master just falls behind in pretty much every area compared to the other two classes, and even compared to the entire roster in general.

But PvP in it's current state is pretty stupid atm (and that's not changing even with KR's updates), so I don't feel it's worth taking seriously, let alone making it a criteria for class choices.

PvE, most of the first paragraph still applies, although VP is easily the best in damage output compared to the other two classes, if only because of hellstone (which is learned as early as level 20). Dimension Witch doesn't exactly pick up in damage until the level 30-35 range, and EM is just slow in general.

I'd still say just pick with whichever class appeals to you. EM right now is one of the worse classes in the game, (to the point I'd get out damaged consistently by a first job with a +8 enhancement), but it still doesn't stop me from playing her.

That's a shame, I choose my classes for apperance as well and Elemental Master has that sort of collected, mature look you'd expect in a mage. I might end up going with EM anyway, if only to be different as I don't see too many of them.

You should go with what you feel like as you'd enjoy things more often and figure out ways to handle things. I was pretty lucky with my gut choice (Sword Knight>Lord Knight) in that it's said to be pretty strong class and I really picked it as it seemed to suit my style and Lord Knight looks very heroic.

That innocent look, cute smile, then you find that one site, everything goes down from there.

Did you make the mistake of looking for Chung-centered fanart?

Yrs forgot to mention that EM's gameplay is typically pretty slow paced.

There's no incentive as an EM to approaching or going in the general direction of an opponent in PvP.

In fact the game advises (not directly) EM's to get away from opponents through the first job active called, "Meditation", which is a toggle on and off move that grants +4MP/Second MP regen as long as you're standing and passively charging MP or walking. Sounds great, right?

Here's the catch:

Attacking halts your MP regen for as long as you're attacking and in the attack animation.

On top of that, turning the skill off (either manually by pressing the skill again or getting attacked in midst of combat) puts the skill on cool down for 10 seconds.

This means that the amount of MP you get from the skill is dependant on how inactive you are from combat, while for Void Princess and Dimension Witch their first job actives (which for Aisha in general, recovers MP) require you to get in a specific distance of an enemy target to steal MP.

You're basically punished for running into battle and rewarded for staying out of battle.

Oh my, guess I might go for one of the others after all.

I never look for any fanart because Aisha and Rena's... "animations" make it easy to guess what I'll find.

They will buff Meditation later to the point that you'll be able to start a PvP match with 250 MP (this comprises of the 50 MP default starting MP for Aisha/Rena and the +200 MP from meditation as +40 MP increments per second over five seconds) right off the bat. This does not include any MP gain for standing and charging MP.

To elaborate:
You'll be able to get 200 MP by simply hitting the skill button once every ~45 seconds to 60 seconds (depending whether or not you have the skill note that does -15 seconds CD time and makes the skill un-interruptable) as five +40 MP increments per second over 5 seconds

To give you a comparison:

an Eve/Elsword/Raven/Chung will start 0 MP and a Rena/Aisha (bar EM) will start with 50 MP and the ability to charge MP as the match starts.

Note:
Eve has an ability called Mana Conversion, which allows her to sacrifice HP in return for MP. There is a skill note for Mana Conversion that allows a 30% chance of ignoring the HP cost as long as you have the required HP to cast it in the first place.

If you're wondering the default MP charging speed for Aisha and Rena while standing are as follows:

- Aisha -

Elemental Master & Void Princess : 10MP/Sec

Dimension Witch : 10.5MP/Sec (with the passive known as Fitness that grants +5% MP charging speed).

- Rena -
Wind Sneaker & Night Watcher : 5MP/Sec (has a one to two second start up time).

Grand Archer : 10MP/Sec (with their passive, "Inducing Nature", that increases her charging rate up to Aisha's; she still has a one or two second start up time though).
