Thank you very much for the information. I am just wondering why the Thief in your opinion is complicated? I am thinking between either a thief or warrior. I have chosen Leviathan as the server but again I do not know anyone so any help would be appreciated.

thanks

I am just wondering why the Thief in your opinion is complicated? I am thinking between either a thief or warrior.

Thief has more practical applications, Warrior can only do damage, and occasionally use Provoke to keep hate. Thief, especially later in the game, has better survival capabilities, meaning you can utilize it for more things like farming, solo/duo strategies, questing, etc. This requires higher knowledge about the game, how evasion works, how hate mangaement works, think about links/adds when you fight, how movement speed works, how you can utilize terrain, how to equip the right gear for ranged attacks, for sneak/trick attack, for evasion, to switch it out for damage sets, how to utilize status bolts to enhance survivability, and a lot more, this was just off the top of my head. Even early on, Thief has it worse, if you do EXP parties in old areas, people will expect you to pull mobs, which is a science in itself, and then still perform SA/TA in a party (native Thief abilities), which isn't always easy if people don't cooperate.

Warrior has none of that, it's straight damage. There's a few tweaks you can bring into the job, and some situations still require skill to enhance overall performance (knowing when to use your abilities, when to switch to defensive gear, how to utilize different gear sets the best, etc.), but compared to Thief it isn't nearly as complex. Since Thief is a supporting job, you will always have more work to do on that than on other damage dealers.

I have chosen Leviathan as the server but again I do not know anyone so any help would be appreciated.

I will always help out when available, unfortunately my playtime is a bit erratic lately because of RL stuff, but I would gladly help you to get started.
