Best Advanced Mining Spot Class?

[The Legendary Joe]

Now I ask this cuz there's a wealth of items I want to mine in the advanced spot. However, No matter how high leveled my smith is, I simply cannot flee or hit those damned teddies enough to mine there for long before dying or being forced to try to lure them away, which really sucks since so many people want it's card. It doesn't help that everything tends to want to respawn right at the mining spot when it killed (often).

Agi Super Novice could be a potential winner, Agi up and improve concentration make it's flee superb, almost comparable to a sinx's flee, as well as being able to learn Increase weight limit (a must with all those heavy picks and stones) and a cart (also a must with any mining character).

Alchemist would be a winner, if only because of Vanilmirth's magic, but lets face it, Vani is over used and I don't particularly care for either version of vani. Alchemist basically has the same problem as smith in in that it cannot get enough flee or hit to do much without getting hurt vrs teddy. I suppose I could go with a dex/int variant but that would cut into how much I can carry...


Now I've seen novices play dead down there and mine while doing that, but I hate relying on pets/homunculi for such meanial chores, and it's a little too boring to ask someone to come down there and protect me when I got around 800 picks to go through. But I'm interested in hearing how other miners are doing it, assuming they are.
