Rev I have the same conflict as you, I have a myrmidon, and a pathfinder. And i have to honestly say, they are both immensely fun. However, they are both fun in their own ways. I will be the first to say that I suck at pvping using any close range class. (Except knight, lol easy peasy) and I am aware of the pros and cons of my own characters. So when I feel like really throwing it down at pvp, I log into my PF, and if i just want to rip monsters up, run some Aram and etc, I'll log into my myrm. I tried to make a ninja recently, and man was that boring. So all i have to say is when you get to lv 40 on all your characters, I think you'll have a lot of fun by playing what every character your mood suits.
However, if you were to ask me, I would say that pathfinders are a lot more fun then thieves (just imo.) and that priests honestly look like hardcore characters (planning on making one, but mages 1-20 = *wrists*)
Lol, I actually kind of figured that out when I saw people leveling so easily at F7. Thieves are somewhat boring to level because of the difficulty but I think once you get Violent Blow, which is like Spear Jab, it should be easier to level. And by the way you're wrong about Mages being hard. They're, in my experience, the easiest to level from 1 to 20.
EDIT:
Ambush and Violent Blow both help a lot. Dagger is nice for bosses, too. Once you hit the late 40s/early 50s, you'll really enjoy it because you get access to your ninja form and a few other important skills.
Furthermore, in the soon-to-be-released New Origins update, ninjas get some awesome buffs. They crit almost constantly b/c several of their skills give a massive absolute crit rate buff for a few seconds each time they're used (meaning your combos will produce a ton of crits).
Thank you very much, yet again! x3 Basically you're saying that they're gonna be way easier to level when New Origins comes? Because if that's the case I might wait for it if it's coming really soon, but if not I'll just level it now instead of waiting.
