Imperial guard (IG) is a really strong starter, has great dps output, it is really tanky (in farming runs it's almost impervious to damage!) and it has a really smooth and enjoyable gear progression. I do recommend this class, even if it's your first character on the server.
Elemental Master is currently one of the most strong if not the strongest Magic class build in the current patch.
 
This is because:
* We benefit from the time dimensions combo (Depth Crown + Weapon);
* Not only benefit, but the combination of both makes us auto cast our burst skill entirely free and spammable. As a comparison, Imperial Guard dimension's combo only reduce mains skill CD in almost half, but don't auto cast anything;
* And all of that with the case that we can choose the element of our burst skill at any type, almost free;


Do note that IG have a magic, a melee and recently a range critical physical build, but this guide will focus only on the magic vertent, which the main skill used is Cross Rain.


Some pros and cons for the magic build in my opinion:

Pros:
Pros:


* You are immune to magic damage (well, you dodge it, but it is really helpful);
* You have a lot of element coverage which will make it easier to farm specific maps ;
* AOE skill - you use the skill, things die inside the range, you teleport out of it, repeat!  No need to click on the specific mob!
* AOE skill - you use the skill, things die inside the range, you teleport out of it, repeat!  No need to click on the specific mob!
* You can almost mantain 100% physical damage immune while farming using {{#skill:5256}}
* Cute <s>pokemons</s> <s>puppets</s> elemental summons they will help you and change your offence and defence to the desired element (all of them are cute, except you Serpens, you were much better before :( );
* Turned off brain  for farming! Use skill, teleport, use skill, teleport and repeat until rich!
* Turned off brain  for farming! Use skill, teleport, use skill, teleport and repeat until rich!


Cons:
Cons:


* Farm will get brainless along you upgrade your gear. At the start it will be harder and slower than other classes;
* This is not a one button to win build. You will need to alternate between at least 3 skills during farming sessions;
* You will only feel the smoothness of {{#skill:5267}} farming once you get the Dimension Weapon + Crown combo, as it almost decrease the skill cd in half!;
* As a mage class, at the start you will be very squishy! Go after some resistances/ mresistances asap;
* Your damage will be mainly Holy! This means that you will not be able to farm comfortably some endgame maps like Biosphere B - Temple or Depth 1. With {{#skill:6505}} this no longer will be a problem;
* You will need to do a lot of micro managing during game play. You need to keep track of how many elemental stones do you still have, how many gems are left, etc;
* Cross rain has an  animation lock once you use it! At first you will get annoyed but then you get used to it.
* Your skill bar will be full of skills that you need to use. Few more than others, but it's good to remember each shortcut because speed matters;
