If you are 100% sure that you want to train a Warrior at this point, skip to

   6) Maple Island as a Beginner

otherwise, I suggest you continue reading on for other possibilities in your
Maple Story journey.

First I wish to discuss Warriors vs Archers. In the beginning, an Archer is
like a long range warrior except more accurate and they have more
avoidability. Each of them have unstable damage, and Archers get double shot
which puts them near the same damage of a warrior. Archers however, take even
more patience compared to a Warrior, due to their even more drastic unstable
damage. Later, Archers become crazy. They use multiple “stunning” abilities
while attacking several enemies at once. Both of 3rd jobs of an Archer reach
extremely high damage levels due to the fact they can fire 4 arrows. This
damage is incredibly close to that of a really good Warrior, except they
attack from a distance…stunning enemies…not taking damage…if you catch
my drift.

If you are interested in becoming a Ranger, I highly suggest you look at
the guide Wind_8500 made. He’s a good friend of mine and as some great
ideas.

Now there’s Warriors vs Magicians. Magicians in the beginning are by far
the best class. They have no extreme damage range, and they attack from a
distance like archers. Your hittings 1’s until you can finally attack with
magic, but that doesnt last too long. After that, they are quite powerful.
Every 3rd job magician can attack multiple enemies for some good damage. They
hit pretty high, but Warriors definitley over power the Magician later. One
problem with Magicians is the lack of HP, but they have an ability which
allows to take physical damage, and drain it from their mp. Their armor aint
the cheapest either.

Finally there’s Warrior vs. Theives. Theives attack pretty high in the
beginning with stars and their knives because they attack twice. They are
more nimble and accurate then warriors. Warriors surpass the Assasin/Bandit
in the second job advancement in damage though, however, the cheif bandits in
the 3rd job have some ridiculously poweful attacks which do a lot of damage
(more than Warriors). Theives are really expensive too. Some people fail with
theives just because they don’t have the money.
