I've had this dilemma for a few days now and I still can't decide what I should do.
So I'm asking you all for some help. :'D
Right now I'm focusing on alchemy, but I need something else to work on because if I just keep making crystal after crystal day in and day out I swear I'm going to crack...but anyway~
I've been debating on whether I should become a healer or a fighter.
I'm sorta leaning more towards healer because whenever I try to fight anything without alchemy I die, get rescued, flee, or beg for mercy <- This never works for some reason
But hey, I make terrible decisions when it regards my MMO characters alot of times so that's why I'm asking you guys.
Should I be a healer/alchemist or a melee/alchemist, and what skills would I need to work on to get the best out of them?
Any help is appreciated. :D

Healer wouldn't work so much in Mabinogi. Not like MapleStory's Cleric.
It isn't really a "job" that works in-game, as you would spend lots of MP potions. Healing is a great support skill. I got myself Rank 1 because I like to heal my party members, but I'm not a Healer per se. As in, that's not my job.
I would go for Melee, like abc said. Lots of damage, low cost. :)

Yeah I'd go melee.
Though Range with Alchemy might be badass.

Got it! Maybe someday I'll deal more than 30 damage. |D
[s]Can you tell I've never had a melee character before? XD[/s]

I'm not going to even say what happened with myself and archery. OTL;;

While Healers are uncommon and for the most part really ineffective in Mabinogi, a couple of my friends are 'healers' so to speak. They rarely become helpful until high rank (like rank 1) healing/party healing with fast connection. Furthermore, healers will still be be expected to kill stuff in a dungeon. I suppose healing would more be a habit than a class like 'melee, archer, mage'

All you need for melee is WM/CM/Crit r1. FH w.e you want. Counter (I have mine at 9). Icebolt to 9. Any lifeskills that give dex, for the balance.

Go Melee Sakura, when we're fighting, that way you can actually fight with those dual glads you always bring around.

pure healers are useless in mabinogi
nice to have heals after a battle, but don't bother healing in the middle of combat
only reason I even bother to get heal is for the int it gives

Like everyone else has stated, Go Melee.
Get your WM to rank 1 and then do whatever you please.~
