question regarding 10/11/12* melee weapons

[SolomonGrundy]

Now that I'm seeing more and more of them in the Database...does anyone know if these weapons apply SEs?

I am desperately seeking something...anything, that will help me deal with melee resistant monsters.

um... lol, thats rough.

Maybe a handgun with burn on it?

[rena-ko]

there's no PA or weapon with SE known so far. settle for a handgun like mentioned above. S ranks arent the only weapons that do damage http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

There are in fact melee weapons which apply SE. For your Fortefighter I would suggest maybe looking into Jogiris (8* Swords) as they apply Poison on occasion. Unfrotunately, I'm not sure if any of the 10-12* melee weapons can do anything along the same line.

I notice you play a Figunner, Rena, so perhaps are not familiar with the ForteFighters plight.

At lowly level 51 I have more ATP than some classes will ever get , and even with 25% weapons of opposite element I struggle with Tengohs on B rank.
Now I'm sure a set of level 20 bullets on a nice set of 6* twin handguns would make life easier...but I don't have the option.

My 6* handgun with level 8 bullets, does an underwhelming 165 pts of damage a shot - pretty underwhelming when you consider Tengoes have about 5K HP at the B rank level, and you fight 3 at a time, in some areas.

I am a fortefighter too, do what I did get the strongest pistol you can grind that mofo as high as you can and max out your ice bullet, max dark if you are in agata..That will fix the tenhougs.

[SolomonGrundy]

Hey man - thanks for the reply. how much damage do you do to the tengoh? (I have an ice pistol). I was reluctant to grind and lose expensive tenorah weapons for a marginal gain in Damage

can you hit for 250 per shot? that would go a long way towards convincing me http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Doesn't the Jogiri cause poison?

[Gen2000]

Yeah but it's only like SE1 or SE2 posion...either way it's not high level to matter vs. monsters like Tengohs.

[imfanboy]

Axes work against Tengouhgs too (kinda..), but yeah, your best bet is a well-ground Tenora handgun or even an A-rank GRM gun (if you don't like grinding).

Basically, your best bet is to keep the tengouhgs busy while the rangers burn it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Multi-hit weapons tend to make Tengohg killing go faster, too. Either take an Axe to them or just go for pure DPS, if you're against using guns.

[Reiichi]

Cheapest and probably the best way is to use as high as pistol as you can get. Not sure on the ata of your beast and all, but my fortefighter uses the 9* single pistol.

I've never been able to get jogiri to stick poison on tengohgs or other large creatures, so no help there.

Unless you are bent on spamming your strongest PAs endlessly on these creatures with over 20k hp, best bet is to pick up a pistol. It also won't require burning photon charges, or a good elemental % weapon. On cases like jarbas it is much safer to pistol snipe from a distance so you can keep track of all the megids, and also to avoid that ice attack.

As for damage my fortefighter shoots for about 200 a shot buffed and with zalure =p on tengohgs in relics S. That's for around a 60/8 f hume fortefighter. Bullet skill might not be recommended as it is only 5% elemental damage ontop of capped 10 bullet skill damage (maybe 20%?), along with halved ata ontop of being a beast.

Some people suggest using an axe, but it is just so sad with 1. slow swings, 2. half damage, 3. low ata. Sure it's easy to get behind a jarba, but you might not be able to pay attention to the other 4 tossing megid onto your other team members. Also careless frozen ice breath of death even if you are wearing ice armor.

From the Item DB:
Jogiri - Notes: Online version has a small chance cause Poison Lv 1.
At level 1, you're not causing poison to anything but maybe a Vulfu or the like.

[SolomonGrundy]

this is the reason I was hoping S-rank weapons had special effects. remember chain sawd/red sword from PSO (unreduced gush, and unredcued paralysis at the second highest level) If there are S ranks which either: a. bypass the resistance of certain enemies b. add a special effect that might cripple an enemy like this c.have high enough ATP to make 50% damage a non issue (like if I could hit for 1,000 a shot. heh.)

I just wail away at Tengoghs with whatever element weapon i have against them, just to
keep their attention off of my force friends http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
i very sparingly use PAs on them since the dmg is so poor, i'm really just keeping their
attention off of everyone else since for some reason lots of little hits over a short time keep
the monster's attention better than slower heavy hits.... claws ftw http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
