out of Megid, megiverse, and Nosmegid, which is the better coice?

[Remedy]

IMO, Megid. Opinions will vary, but Megiverse levels so bloody slow, and it's too susceptible to being broken out of. Nosumegid is okay, IMO, but people will insult it for the same reason they insult Nosuzonde (the delay between shots). Megid is now affordable to cast and not terrible to level up (I've taken it from 1 to 9 in only about 3 hours worth of light leveling) and the damage is fantastic. Plus, with the recent Stamina nerf (well, you're on 360, so you get this on the 20th), the instant death happens more than you'd estimate.

So yeah, go with Megid. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

thanks Remedy

Are you able to instant kill Svaltus with it, or do non-cutscene bosses not get affected by it?

[Remedy]

No idea. Mine's still level 9, so only Get Dead Level 1 so far. Once I hit 21+, I'll lob it at Svaltuses (Svalti?) and see what I can make of it.

[Umberger]

Out of those 3, definitely Megid. Megiverse is good, but you have to be in a party that will be able to keep things off you to use it effectively.

Be warned though, getting Megid to 21 is as slow as Zonde/Barta are.

[SuperChoco]

I believe that large mobs will never be OHKO even with the STA update

[ShinMaruku]

I like Nosumeguid with the fact it can knock down fools.

[Nyreal]

Does Megiverse get level three support at level 11?

I've had Megiverse for a few months now, and it's still sitting in the first tier, mainly for that reason. It's a pain in the ass trying to use it on Golmoros only to have them whack at you and interrupt the cast. Plus, it has this weird delay at the beginning where it take a second or two before damage starts being dealt.

I won't say that I love Nosmegid, but I don't hate it. I haven't leveled it too far yet, but it's proved useful on certain occasions.

Megid will be my next TECHNIC. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif That and Megistar are the only ones I'm missing, and to be honest, I have little to no interest in the latter. Right now, I've got 27 of the 99 Fragments I need. <_<; I'll get there one of these days. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

[Remedy]

Err, you mean HP Drain? It has 1 at 1-10, 2 at 11-20, and 3 at 21-40.

Uh...you're thinking of Megistar. Megistar has the same level buffs as Shifta/Deband/Retier/Zodial at their respective levels. So a level 11 Megistar would have level 2 buffs.

If you were talking about Megiverse, then no, it does not get level 3 HP Steal until level 21, and continues to have level 3 at 31-40.

[Rizen]

I don't remember when and where this is said, but Dammegid only gets SE3 at 31+ right?

I believe Inazuma said it, and yes that is true.

[Remedy]

Yeah, sadly. Mine's about to hit 28, so I'm close. With that at 31 and Damubarta at 31, you can do the ol' Freeze and Bake trick to Svaltuses http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Nevando]

The plus side to Nosmegid and Noszonde come from being able to hit flying enemies, and now that they hit 3 targets, Noszonde atleast is now better than Razonde.

[majan]

nosmegid.though its slower casting and will take a second to get to the target,the range is unbeleivable and the knockdown is awesome.not to mentoin high damage,along with the low hp = high damage solution.while your buddies bat away in nanoblast form against a svaltus and the ranger is infecting him,you keep him stunlocked using the knockdown nosmegid doing 1100 damage a shot.

it's a good techinc if you give it a chance and learn to use it.

megid is good for machines and other small enemies but I hear its a pain to level up.like,a real pain.enemies dont have low enough STA to make this worthwhile to level up and use consistently,but thats just me.

ramegid is aweosme for everything else.does good damage,faster casting,confuse SE is awesomely useful when soloing against caster enemies.

[Stezan]

Megid is the way to go. Since the update it is pretty cheap to use, and very strong for a linear style tech. i went through a round of Grove S2 and only recharged the rod once.

I liked Megiverse more before this last update because th range was nerfed considerably. At lv 21 and 31, it should have good range again. Its really good to use in big parties where you can stand in the middle of the fray and cast w/ no fear of getting hit.

[Zael]

ugh, the range on megiverse 11-20 sucks so much

[l0c0dantes]

Think of Megid as a linear RA tech.

IT is easier that way

[Xtian913]

Hmmm, I do believe I will be picking up Megid now after reading about all the changes. I'd heard it was horrible to level, so this is great news. Just gotta run a few more PA runs to get to 99 and I'll be good. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[RedCoKid]

I'm talking about when I capped my techs this summer, before you came back to PSU. You can't project the ease of leveling a tech from 1-10 onto its later stages. Megid is fun to use, but it's also a chore to level. Don't give people the wrong impression.
