The Mage hits VERY powerfully on the other hand can overheat, or run out of MP. Most of the time mages have OK HP but not always, so their dependent on using a lot of food, and refreshers.
Assists are not very strong but can heal, or buff. It all depends on what you are becoming as an assist If you are becoming a BillPoster, then you are strong if you are becoming a Ringmaster, then you master in buffs and healing people. For Assists it all depends on their 2nd job change.
Acrobats are strong with a bow but slow with it. They can also use yoyo's which are very fast and hit bad. So you would want to use a bow and be fast.
Mercaneries are fast, but boring to most at the beginning. They only get a choice of a sword or an axe. As you get higher level you become a lot stronger and less boring.
