Which do I train?

So, with the new patch they’ve announced that 4th jobs will finally be arriving come January 2008. Awesome.

Here’s my dilemma:
I have a level 98 Fire/Poison mage that I haven’t trained in months. Bored with training her, though she’s still fun to run around and play.
I’ve been training a Ice/Lightning mage now for about a month or so, and she’s level 43 currently. My goal was to eventually get her to third job, so my roommate could play with the I/L mage, and I could play with my F/P mage.

With the prospect of 4th finally looming in the not so distant future, which character should I train? I’d love to finally hit 4th job with my F/P mage because I’ve had her for so long, but… I don’t know if I have it in me to train her to level 120. I want to get my I/L to a higher level, but I’m currently in that 40s slog that is almost as bothersome as training at lvl 98 with my F/P.
Which do I train (or do I just say forget it and spend the next month goofing off and doing holiday quests)?

  1. Do the F/P, always nice to poison a whole squid map, wait a lil, then explode and kill everything,

  2. Train your F/P to 100, then your I/L to 70~90, then get your F/P to 4th job! O:

    4th job F/P skills

    Fire Demon: 150 spell attack, Avenger-like mob skill that afflicts monsters with an Ice Vulnerability debuff. Does not change their other vulnerabilities (I think)

    Elquines: Summonable golem with 270 spell attack, has a 3-hit mob attack that also freezes, apparently no item cost

    Meteor: 3.5k MP and a substantial cast time, but it has 670 spell attack not counting Ele. Amp, and looks so much better than Blizzard.

    Paralyze: A single-target poison-element Cold Beam. BUT! It has 200 spell attack and “freezes” for [b]15[b] seconds. The “freeze” effect apparently affects all monsters.
