I LOVE FORTETECHER! >:3

[redroses]

I just newly started a Fortetecher but I have to say I really like playing it, it's a really fun class and I love watching my TECHs grow (I am only getting to lv 11 at the moment, but it's still awsome).
And Fortetecher with all the different elemnt TECHs is so versatile. I just really wish they were a little stronger =O
But there is nothing more awsome than blowing a Ra-tech between enemies XD

and now if only my lag would go away again, i could play normally <_<

[pizzagirl]

Nice levels :3 Mine are about the same minus megiverse, regrant, and Megid. I like Jarba Megid so it's slowly making its way to 31. Don't think I'll ever do the other 2. ._. Gogo FT!

[Cracka_J]

While this probably goes without saying, I would focus less on what your tech levels are and learn more about what they all actually do. I'm not saying you haven't, but there are several tricks/tactics that can be situationally applied to several techs, and make soloing missions much easier. If you've got 31+ techs, I'll just assume you know most of them ;P

I've really enjoyed the class too, played it since about a month after expert classes were released. So that would be...probably over a year and a half now lulz. I'm will be swapping up to masterforce though when it comes out. I've sorted my chars out so that I have both an acrotecher for when I feel like playing support and a MF for when I want to nuke. Should be fun :D

No offence, but nobody cares what levels your techs are and frankly its not very "impressive" to show off in fourms, just level them and keep your joy to urself.....
Not to be mean....

Your likely to get a warning if you keep spamming.

[Tetsaru]

It's funny... I can't stand FT, but I love AT. I always found AT's so much quicker and more survivable than FT's, yet I mostly spam spells as an AT... >_< Maybe I'll like MF once it comes out.

But yeah, congrats on getting most of your techs to Lv31+. Now just get em all to Lv40! =P

*EDIT* - Yeah, Crimson Knight, there's no need for 50 gajillion smileys in one post; it doesn't make you any more special. I could care less too, but at least I was nice enough to congratulate thunder-ray on his accomplishments. You shame a fellow FG. =/

I didnt make this thread to show off my tech lvls I made it to expresce the respect ive grown from this class. To the class I once said I would never try but ended up trying and enjoying =). And no I have no problem if you could care less ether aleast you werent being rude about it.

lol my B, i clicked post and my friend went crazy with the smileys.....

In no way was i trying to be an "asshole" about it, i was just stating that some people are very activated with spell leveling and to have someone post something explaining how awesome their spells are and their levels might discourage some people or at least make them mad at the fact that people "show off" about them.

[super_luu]

You lvled em afk amirite? If so, I'm wouldnt be impressed they're so high.

But yeah, FT is a fuuuun class. I don't care about DPS, just flashies!

Im sorry about the smileys, my friend took the mouse and went to town on the smiley page D:
Of course congrats on the spells, i didnt say they werent ownage, trust me, all of my spells (aside from megiverse) are 35 and up, i know what their like :D but its just i dont go boasting around the fourms about them.....

[Crimson Knight]

I never really understood the AFK method, i watched a couple vids but they didnt explain what it meant exaclty..
Care to fill me in?

Well, it's a lot harder to do now, since Sega edited the Vahra map in Plains Overlord where you could do it... basically, you just stood in that little safe spot, taped down the fire button so you'd constantly shoot at the Vahras, and the leader Vahra would just keep healing em so they wouldn't die.

Anyway, we've gotten the PA experience boost since then, so we don't need to do lame stuff like this anymore. If you're still trying to afk-level, then you're just being lazy, and not willing to put forth the work needed to reap the benefits. =/

FT <3No I didnt afk lvl them, I dont even know how to use that method. Nor did I ever bother to learn how to. I started my FT at winter event, took some advice from a friend and soloed SW s2 for about 6 months to get each one to that lvl.

Turbo controllers, or JoyToKey. Look it up.

Also, you might wanna try using that multi-quote check box man... double-posting is kinda frowned upon in forums, if you didn't know... kinda makes you look like you're spamming and such. =/

You did right, SW is THE best place for spell leveling, (except for gi-spells and megiverse) I did the same cept i started in last years Moatoob GBR

Oh ok, yeah im very new to fourms, i mean ive been in multiple but im usuially a very vocally expressive person....if you know what i mean and i get Perminatley banned....so ive never been on the fourms long enough to learn the rules D:

[Cracka_J]

AFK tech leveling was always pointless anyways, I capped all my techs at SW and filled my bank account at the same time. Best option has always been manual leveling.

[Crimson Knight]

Absolutley

By far megid and barta are the best. They might not do the most damage, but megids got the INCAP on it and bartas got freeze, and to top it off their penetration!
My other favorite is ither dambarta or nos diga, both equally as useful

I use nosdiga now, and I am currently leveling Dambarta actually. Comparatively how much more difficult is megid to level. And how useful do you think megiverse is?

okk lets seee
My friend claimed that he spend a month on megid....i spent 2 days worth of time, as an acrotecher doing SW S2, so just straight 48 hours of megid leveling, and dambarta levels SUPER fast soo....u could get 3 dambartas to 31 by the time u get 1 megid up....:D
31 megiverse owns, the only problem is getting it there....
when i try to level it, it feels like they left it out of the EXP BOOST photon arts....but its worth it

Hmmm, ok. I'm not so sure about getting megid anyways to be honest. I think other techs can be much more useful. I'm gonna try Regrants too. I know the knockback is annoying but I see usefulness ^^;;

All of my friends hate it for some reason but its a very ownage spell

[Ramadonis]

Nice techs...I'm...pretty jealous...XD I just recently got Foie to 32 and I'm burnt out @_@. All my techs are super low level mainly because I mained AF and PT for a while before finding out the sheer crazy fun of being a FT.

[thunder-ray]

ok then why the cursing and rude remarks ealier?
I did nothing wrong but express my thought, which is what the fourms is about right?I agree but it wouldnt kill you to make a nice comment if you going to express your thoughts, in a manner that might offend them. With that said im sorry about my cursing and rude comments towards you.

^^; Let's not get this topic locked now. This supposed to be a happy happy place n_n! ~lets keep on topic!

so, for a Fortetecher~! what techs do you find most effective?Well I find all my techs to be useful in different ways. I find the nos techs to be most effective like nosmegid and noszonde since they do knockdown I can spam a dam tech while mobs are trying to get back up. I like nosdiga since it has decent power, stun and three homing beams.

[thunder-ray]

Hmmm, ok. I'm not so sure about getting megid anyways to be honest. I think other techs can be much more useful. I'm gonna try Regrants too. I know the knockback is annoying but I see usefulness ^^;;Its a very useful tech the only problem with it is you lose hp from spamming it. Dont give up on megid it lvls much faster then it did before the exp boost. I recall having to do 3 in a half runs to get it to 21. But when I lvled it to 31 it only took 2 runs to do it.

All of my friends hate it for some reason but its a very ownage spellAgreed the only thing I do hope however is that we get more light spells. To give us more options instead of just using one light spell.

[Miyuki]

You did right, SW is THE best place for spell leveling, (except for gi-spells and megiverse) I did the same cept i started in last years Moatoob GBR

I wouldn't say SW is THE best place, maybe best for linear techs (barta, zonde, megid), anything else meh. Sure you have a lot of those ageeta guys, but they simply don't have much HP. Golmoros hop around too much too.
For dam-, ra-, and gi- I would suggest Sakura Blast up to S. Lots of ageetas and boomas in packs. They move slow and don't attack very much, so you can get in a lot of hits without worrying about getting interrupted. On S2, they're a bit faster and more aggressive.
But if you're hunting P-wand, catilium, or nanopolymers SW is fine, but if you want some variety try SB.

[Miyuki]

^^; Let's not get this topic locked now. This supposed to be a happy happy place n_n! ~lets keep on topic!

so, for a Fortetecher~! what techs do you find most effective?

Don't underestimate Dam- techs. Great on mobs b/c of the slight knockback when it hits, keeps smaller enemies from swarming you.

[zensiyo]

OP , No resta , No buffs ??

[Majarra]

Maybe hes planning on going MF and theres no need to lvl those. But im sure peeps will cmplain and segac will give them 20 or if the BAWWWW-ers are lucky 30 support.

[pikachief]

yay for FT!

i've never really played FT before but i do have all spells except megiverse regrants and the line spells to 31+ :)


but my entire techer's life has been spent lvling techs so i kinda sux i have no teching experience lol

[TecherRamen]

Its amazing how quickly this thread went south.

you cant spell "FTW" without FT! ;)

[Shou]

Heh, yesterday i finished capping all of my techs and i found a Pwand to boot!!!

I would recommend AFK tech lvling to anyone.
There are still pleanty of techs that you have to lvl legit. (Megid, Ramegid, All Dam Techs, All Nos Techs, All Gi Techs, Regrants, and Megiverse)

You can still AFK Tech lvl at Endrum Remnants at the Seabed on Parum. It isnt too hard to set up either.:sleepy:

[Touka]

By far megid and barta are the best. They might not do the most damage, but megids got the INCAP on it and bartas got freeze, and to top it off their penetration!
My other favorite is ither dambarta or nos diga, both equally as useful

Megid I can see but Barta really isn't that effective because it cancels if it hits a wall.Imo the Nos,Dam and Ra techs are the most usefull.

I use nosdiga now, and I am currently leveling Dambarta actually. Comparatively how much more difficult is megid to level. And how useful do you think megiverse is?

Megiverse is ok but it's HELL to level.Also it has slow start up,I heard 31 is good but i've yet to get it there.

I wouldn't say SW is THE best place, maybe best for linear techs (barta, zonde, megid), anything else meh. Sure you have a lot of those ageeta guys, but they simply don't have much HP. Golmoros hop around too much too.

Agreed on Sakura Blast for Dam Ra and i'd like to add Nos to that list.Gi.....I think Scarred Planet works a bit better for those,it has for me.

I LOVE FORTETECHER! >:3

Where are your buffs?

[Tetsaru]

My recommendations on techs:

You can almost never go wrong with Ra- techs. They hit multiple enemies from a distance almost instantly, do good damage, and have Lv3 status effects as well. They only suck for the first 10-20 levels or so, simply because the area of effect is still too small to hit groups efficiently. The only Ra- tech I would avoid is Radiga, because it does NOT have a status effect, plus Diga and Nosdiga do the job better, imo.

Dambarta is a great spell for freezing enemies, turning them into sitting ducks for a while. I never cared for Barta, because it moves slowly, and isn't very strong, though the fact that it pierces through enemies and hugs slopes can come in handy in certain situations.

Megid works wonders against robots, and of course, at White Beast, especially against those Kakwane mobs. I personally hate Megiverse, because of the delay it has before it actually hits, plus the HP recovery is rather useless when you can just use Resta, Giresta, or pop a Trimate, really. I would've picked a Gimegid over this, if we had one...

Noszonde/Nosmegid is awesome for long range, often times easier than having to use a ranged weapon, like a bow. It's capable of hitting targets outside your normal field of vision. o_o Noszonde is probably more useful for general use, though - I'd rather take Shock over HP affects Power.

Regrants is only useful for flinch-locking. Its TP modifier, iirc, is actually LESS than 100%, plus it has that stupid delay before it hits like Megiverse does, AND it drains your HP when it hits, so often times other techs are better at dealing damage, even if you're up against a dark enemy. Don't go around spamming this tech like a noob FI using Tornado Dance at every opportunity - pin your enemies into a corner with it, and keep an eye on your health when using it. I know we're all awaiting the day when we actually get a DECENT offensive light tech... -_-X

Don't neglect your support techs, especially if you're an AT! Parties and friends appreciate someone with good buffs, or when you use Reverser on them when they're stuck frozen, for example. As far as Megistar goes... I'd only use it if you get KO'd while the rest of the party is buffed, or if you're soloing. No one likes a selfish techer.

As far as where to level your offensive techs... I'd suggest either Sleeping Warriors or White Beast, due to the large numbers of enemies in both that you can rack up hits on.

Buffs can be leveled wherever there's a charge cube. Get two NPC's in your party, along a few other people for targets, and equip a Har/Quick, Te/PP Generate, and a bunch of Kubara tech weapons that have a lot of PP. Spam them on the group, and just recharge as necessary. Giresta can be leveled in the same manner.

Resta can be leveled easily at the last room in White Beast. Just leave the ice turrets intact after you kill everything, then just stand in front of them while spamming it to heal yourself. Recharge at the cube next to the boss warp.

Reverser can be leveled in Hill of Spores or Dancing Birds by standing on those black gas clouds that inflict confusion. I guess Resta can also be leveled there as well, but I don't know of a good place to recharge, other than just exiting the mission and using the cubes in the lobby.

Although I'd say don't both leveling debuffs, since they're practically useless nowadays, if you want to level them, I'd say go to Linear Line and find one of the big Pannon mobs. If you've got a decent dark armor and level, they shouldn't be able to hurt you - just don't kill em off, lol. You can recharge at the cube right outside the mission counter.

I think that pretty much covers it. Keep on leveling! :3

[thunder-ray]

Where are your buffs?Fixed look back on the first page I have my support techs shown there.

[Clint]

umm.....ok?
I didnt mean to be mean or anything i was just saying that nobody honestly cares



Ahem speak for your self not to be mean ^^

Keep up the good work I see an even flow of your tech lvl's shows dedication. Support techs are as important as well good luck and keep up the good work :-D

[Almeho]

Cool techs. I'm too much support-focused to be a Fortetecher which is why I went Acro instead. But, I did have fun while it lasted. (I miss rods, lol.) I can understand seeing Sleeping Warriors being a great place to level them as well as Sakura Blast (a few friends of mine go there) but, may I suggest another spot that I use? I like to go to Caves of Ice S2 and level TECHNICs. Most of the enemy spawns are Vandas grouped together, which makes Ra/Gi-TECHs easy to level, Jaggos appear there, some okay materials drop (Coper/Golda/Morbinia, Catilium & Cladorian - I've gotten them all there), it's not too hard and, being on Moatoob, there's a chance for FoI. I'm not saying you gotta go there or anything, just offering a change of scenery and what I've encountered there through my own experience. Anyways, great spells and keep it up. :)

[Genoa]

I enjoy Fortetecher myself, however, I prefer Acrotecher a bit more.
Mostly because of Acrotecher's support ability for party. The faster casting times help dramatically when the party needs resta/reverser.
My biggest problem with support as an FT is mostly because I use Rods, so if I'm in the middle of a tech on a rod (especially when using the techs that are MOST effective on Rods, such as Nos/Damu techs) I find myself having a difficult time switching to heal wand fast enough, or at least, in comparison to Acrotecher.

As Acrotecher, I primarily use Simple + Ra techs or Gi techs if the situation is right. These techs benefit from the fast casting speeds AT has combined with faster casting animations on wand/madoog > rod. Since Simple/Ra/Gi techs cast quite quickly, especially on a wand/madoog with AT's casting speed (+har/quick), I can switch to heal wand MUCH faster.
The damage isn't as significant, but the DoT proves to be decent in comparison. But Rods vs. madoogs/wands is highly debatable D:

In my opinion, Fortetecher should receive an ATP increase. A decent sized one too...
I really can't think of any Fortetecher that actually uses the Ranged potential of this class. Mostly because if you're a newman... your techs make up far more than the ranged weaponry selection. If you're Beast, the ATA of this class can be quite troublesome for using the Ranged Weapons (lowest ATA race with lowest ATA class)
If you're CAST, the ranged weapons are doable, however... the ATP is still quite low.

I also think the FT should receive and ATP boost because after Masterforce is released... Fortetecher won't have too much to show for.
Lvl.40 Atk techs, lvl.40 support techs, and lvl.30 bullets VS. Lvl.50 Attack techs and lvl.10 support techs with increased casting speeds.
Since most people only use FT for techs... that rules out the bullets. A large portion of FT's also are very poor about Support (ever since Acrotecher's release in AoI... many Fortetechers don't feel obligated for support since there is a role that fills support greater than themselves...)
So support is a small advantage for many. (Before anyone replies with "omg not everyone's like that, I support all the time, blah blah blah." I said MANY. I notice MANY, not all...)
Masterforce having increased casting speeds like an Acrotecher... but can also use rods! The only techer class that can use Rods at an increased casting speed.

If they don't try to give more versatility to FT... I don't see it being played (unless someone is trying to get it to 10 to go Masterforce)

Most of the enemy spawns are Vandas grouped together, which makes Ra/Gi-TECHs easy to level, Jaggos appear there, some okay materials drop (Coper/Golda/Morbinia, Catilium & Cladorian - I've gotten them all there), it's not too hard and, being on Moatoob, there's a chance for FoI. I'm not saying you gotta go there or anything, just offering a change of scenery and what I've encountered there through my own experience. Anyways, great spells and keep it up. :)Thank you very much :) and I will check out caves of ice s2, since I do need morbinia and goldainia for a couple of weps to synth.

On Topic, all the flashyness is what makes the class fun.

I've been a techer type since day one. I've had mines maxed for like 3 months already. I've only seen a few good FTs out there, and 99% of the time it's their Main. FT is only for those who actually put it #1 over Gunner and Fighter.

I play it because I enjoy it, and fits how I like to play. But ever since everything was maxed, I've been giving my gunner most of the attention, and almost love it as much as FT/AT.

It feels good playing the lesser used types doesn't it? Put those "other types" below it (except Fortegunner) and you'll be fine by me :D

Have fun, and don't let others discourage you playing a techer. Make the best of it.

I'm also a Force from day one. The first time i FOIE'd a Pannon i knew that i wanted to Incinerate monsters from afar and have a team save money with my healing abilities.

Back in the day when there were only 2 spells per element i remember having to link Resta & Reverser to all 5 of my Rods so i did not have to switch to Pistol + Wand to heal. Now i just have this sense where i should be on my Resta Wand the instant someone needs it.

I remember when the GI SPELLS were released and they cost so much i went broke after buying only Gizonde and Gibarta. This was of course when only haxors had millions and millions of Meseta.

I remember the 8 hour buff party. If i did not have a TV and a Radio i would have gone insane but it was fun chatting with other Techers for hours. No other job has to suffer a buff party time sink except us the PATIENT and Wise.

My ForteTecher is my main. And my main with all the spells possible can hit any enemy with their weakness from any range any time as well as keep the team alive and healthy. And if i can't do that with TECHS i have longbows and Cards to help with firepower. Esp if the team has no Ranger.

Go forth my fellow FT's. Though I will do Masterforce but i will not enjoy loosing the Healing & Buffing ability. Thats just too hard to give up at this point.
