I want to try something new and I'm thinking about creating an Esma Linker for PvM/item hunting(?) purposes but I don't know if it will be worth the effort or not to level to 99 as an Esma Linker in Renewal considering the many changes in stats and other damage calculations. If it means anything, I'll probably be aiming for monsters around or below level 110. 

  • what should I expect damage-wise? (in numbers, it can be a general estimate of damage from Es- and Eska total)
  • How much would it cost me to gear up decently? (I do however have a spell FAW and other general equipment that can be shared with multiple chars like Phens, etc.)
  • And is it a good idea to create one for derping around in general?

I am asking because I spent some time leveling a TKM only to find out they performed poorly in Renewal.

How does she fare? Is she heavily reliant on pots and/or gears?

she's a low level one, i think around 70s or 80s? haven't really seen her in action, we were just messing around with some DBed monsters (and once we hit something from bio, we went back to town and switch to our mains lol)

far as i see,

1. damage-wise, i've seen esma bolters one-shotting mobs in TIs, can go up to 10k per cast just like any bolter mage
2. can't really talk much about cost but having a spell faw for leveling pre-99 is more than enough
3. what class/build is NOT good for just derping around? xD i had an autocast linker that can derp around with counter dagger :P

linkers are mostly slaves in renewal (most i've seen) maybe the best they could do is reno crystal farming? or quest events like dragon helm that just came back for a while (i've solo'd both mysteltainn and blue acidus with my slinger so it's viable to solo with any other expanded classes too i suppose)

Sounds like pretty decent damage for a class that has a max level of 99 :o I think I'll give Linker a go the next time an exp comes around. Thanks! :3

well if the damage formula from the wiki is true, then it's quite greater than mage's bolts... and it takes mild wind element so i don't think hitting 10k is impossible
