I/L Mages can train on them. They can't kill them as fast as a Bishop or a F/P, but you DO know, there is a reason that Big Bang level 30 exists, which rips through mobs, if you're skilled with timing its release. Combine that with ice demon and Ifrit and Chain Lightning, then you have a very trainable map still. You just use blizzard to lure group the mobs. And to be frank with you, it's a -LOT- more fun using combined arms to kill monsters, than to press 1 button for the rest of your maple life (Genesis, though to be fair, Meteo too). And having to deal with getting KB'd while being mobbed keeps you on your toes. I actually feel sorry for Bishops on this map.....YAWN boring...mash 1 button forever.mash mash mash....no wonder people get bored of this game.
and no: the exp is NOT really better than newties here, at least if you're soloing. Big flying maps (Gryphons, Typhons) have a too erratic mob spawn/movement to be effective for consistent training. You may wind up having no spawn in 1 area of the map, and half the monsters stuck on the very bottom, out of reach (unless you pot drop yourself down there to the bottom), or have to move around to reach another big spawn until you exit and re-enter the map. It's fun and good money for drops though.
