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.
