The Robots and how to eat them.

[ShinMaruku]

They really test my nerves with their craziness and the limited damage get to me.. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
How best to blow them way?
For my Newman I think teching them to hell would work, but what to use for my female Beast? Is Angora Jabroga worth the delay to cut into those gits?

*looks at topic*

....OMNOMNOMNOM.

I'm going to assume that was a typo and move on.

As a Hunter, your best best is probably anything that does a lot of damage and also knocks down. So it seems to be that Axe skills would probably be the most effective, though you can't rule out Spears either. They're resistant but as long as you're doing a lot of damage you should be fine.

[ShinMaruku]

Tis no typo. I say when you kill them you eat them. >_>
I'll see about the axe. Knock back is really worth it

[HaydenX]

Nah, just keep a stack of scapes and tons of mates. Don't attack them, evenutally they will get bored of killing you and commit ritual seppuku.

[Shade-]

Kira Shot.

Oh, hunter, wait for rangers to come in with their deathfire.

I use Anga Dugrega Lv. 30 with a 28% Lightning Ank Pikor (1) with my Protranser and I deal a good deal of damage as well as knock them around. If you don't have access to an axe though, Twin Sabers seem to be very utility-like with quite a bit of punch in them too.

[Ryuen]

Any PA that knocks up or knocks back works as if they die while in midair they don't do their self-destruct sequence. Ironically I use Dus Majarra to bring the hammer down on them as I've trained myself to not spam Knock up and knock back constantly (Yeah...party friendliness and all)

[ShinMaruku]

Nanoblast work too. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
However she hit them too far... >_>

I don't, but my PM does. She says they taste like copper.

Raul DiUragano usually tries to keep them off their feet so they can't attack. This involves using the twin dagger PA, Hishou-thingymabobber-zan. This one is useful since it tosses mobs into the air but does not knock them backwards.

However, the bots love to swarm and surround their victims, so the storebought twin dagger PA Renkai-thingymabobber-zan is the tool of choice for dealing damage since it's quick and hits in all 360 degrees.

Raul alternates between the two moves if he is solo or in a party without ranger-types. Hishou to keep a few bots momentarily out of the fight, Renkai on those still on their feet.

I would have thought Chikki Kyoren-jin to be a good way for FF do deal with robots ;s

[ShinMaruku]

They were spankin me.. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought knock-up or back will MAKE them self destruct. And knock-DOWN is the only one to prevent that.

If you kill them when they get knocked-up they'll just explode safely without the nasty blast. I've seen this done so many times so I can assure you that it's safe to do knock up with robots. I noticed however that even if they get wiped out (knock-down) they STILL go through their self destruct sequence. Not sure if knock-back will do the same again but if they die when they get knocked back at least you won't be within blast radius

[HaydenX]

I just got killer shot (if you don't want the time investment...DO NOT GET KILLER SHOT).

[GoldRidley]

It's worth the investment for the utility it provides. And by investment I mean AFK leveling its bullet to 21 (and no higher, as 31+ basically increases the pp cost with no tangible benefit I know of). At that point it's pretty much boomheadshot boomheadshot when you point it at 100+ robots.
