Fonewm or Fonewearl?

[Highwind85]

Just wondering which you would recommend. I'm currently leveling a Fonewm, on the basis I wanted to use techs a lot, but I was wondering if I should have gone with Fonewearl because they have higher TP and MST, and their Megid pierces. BUt then again, I see that she has horrible Def and HP, so is the high MST worth it?

Hmm... Well, it depends on your preferences. FOnewearl have extremely powerful simple techs while FOnewm have the best RA techs. That alone is a difference major enough for me to choose between the two as techs are always my biggest method of attack with a FO.
However, yes, FOnewearl lack HP and uhh... pretty much everything 'cept MST. But hey, they have a lot of MST! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I personally have never played a FOnewm, but... I'd say stick with it, especially if your FOnewm is at a decent level.
Or... just make a FOnewearl and see how it goes. Personally, they've been my favorite class since Version 1. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Although having massively powerful simple techs doesn't really seem like a major plus for them, I've been pretty surprised at how effective using simple techs as my main attack spells have been... Similar to how Gi techs with my FOmar are so amazingly useful.

I'd say go with FOnewm. Simple techs are good on single enemies and do more damage, but you'll love that extra power to your Ra when surrounded by loads of baddies or fighting bosses, especially De Rol Le (heck, my HUmar can do around 1000 points with Rafoie on De Rol Le, imagine what a FOnewm does).

FOnewearl.

But then, I'm biased. They're cuter.

[CajunSamurai]

Much, MUCH cuter.

And they don't look like Richard Simmons. Although you can easily make a FOnewm that looks like a pimp, but I guarentee: This is the only possible way to make a "cool" looking FOnewm.

Depends on whether or not you play more online than offline.

Solo wise, FOnewm can more than handle himself, while FOnewearl is just waiting to use a scape doll.

Well...I'd say FOneweral...but then again I only picked them because the don't have Ginormus butts http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

FOnewm, mos def. In my opinion, one of the best tankers in the game because of their RA techs. Offline and online they can more than hold their own, AND their simple techniques do good damage, even if they aren't as high as a FOmarl.

[Kayumi]

FOnewearls are good if you want a challenge, too. My first couple characters were all FOnewearls, back on the DC version, and playing as other classes makes the game so much easier if you're used to being one of those babes.

You CAN make a FOnewm look like John Travolta, too, but it's the equivalent of John Travolta in a pimp role. It's funny, though. (Yeah, I have a thing for playing with the ridiculous looks sometimes...)

FOnewman...thier Bonus to GI and RA techs, compentsates for the Mst that the FOnewearl gets...so all in all the diffrence in damage when everything is all said and done, with the usage of elemental staffs and murges..., evens out. FOnewman does it slightly easier and does slightly less damage then her. But then again its a style issue, FOnewearl is insanly cute, while the FOnewman isn't up to par with EVERYONE'S taste. Its how you want it. I'll say this. The most crutial FO's i've seen soly based on techs doing damage have always been FOnewmans. So i'm a solid beliverin them being the class that potentially can deal the most damage with techs in an over all long run type look, and do it a bit earlier and with less fear of being 1 hit ko'd.


What i really wanna see is a HUnewman ^_^

Fonewman and fonewearl are the same solo wise. Same goes for all forces. Plus, there are the merges and other tech boosting weapon. But, Fonewearl megid is really useful in EP2. I did online ultimate seabed with my fonewearl by myself without dying at level 140 using only megid. Granted I had to quit once I reached the two switch door.

There is one thing about fonewearl megid though. Something special happens on rare occasions if used too much. Happend to me, and now I hardly ever use it.

[TeamPhalanx]

Can't agree with you there... well, sorta yes, but sorta no.

Episode I wise I'd have to give the nod to FOnewm over all FOrces - And quite possibly over the RAngers and HUnters. His MST and bonus to Ra techs go a long way.

Episode II wise I'd go with FOnewearl. Not because of Megid, but simply because it's more effective to use the basic techs than Ra techs in those stages.

What's this Megid thing? Maybe it's only with level 30 Megid? I almost always use Megid with my FOnewearl and haven't seen anything special happen. (she has level 29)

I have no problems on Episode 1 with my fonewearl. To solo effectively with a force all that is needed is about 1200 mst and techs over lv 25. Seriously, the tech bonuses and high mst are just extra perks.

Fonewman is most useful in Episode 1 teamplay I would say. For solo play none of it make much of a difference.

Fonewearl does have hightest evp in the game. It can be good if surrounded by enemies; blocking instead of taking hits.

As for the special thing with fonewearl megid. On very rare occasions her megid will backfire on her. It happend to me, and scared the hell out of me. To the point that I think twice before using it. A friend of mine witnessed it happend to a few other fonewearls too, while in games.

I gotta use my FOnewearl more... It'd be funny to pk myself via Megid.
