Favourite class of weapon?

[Jonty]

It's a tricky question, and obviously it'll depend on which character type you picked so...

With my FOmar, I use a staff 90% of the time, and a slicer the rest. I'm level 81, and haven't really felt the need to tap his melee potential yet. High level razonde is excellent.

My RAcaseal tends to stick to her H10 pistol, and at level 61 I haven't really found anything to match it. Mechguns seem a bit clumsy, and shots and launchers are pretty unwieldy too. If I'm feeling particularly diverse I'll equip a gunslash, and rifles do have their benefits when you're low on health and need to back off. I find them pretty handy against Octodiablo's second form if I don't want to stray too close.
I also adore my twin brand, but that's partly due to fond memories of it's namesake in PSO =]

And finally, my HUnewearl is only level 37, so I'm not entirely sure I have a favourite weapon or weapon class to use with her yet. Double sabers, daggers, gunslashes, pistols, slicers and shields are all on the menu. I'm particularly fond of a shield I made from the head of one of those rare golden giant... boar type creatures. Level 5 burn is rather useful.


So... those are my preferences. I'd be interested to hear if any of you share them, or not as the case may be.

Sabers Swords and Slicers, im a HUnewman and i really think my Magic Dmg potential is a little over 200 just cuz im 86 and my magic caps at lv10.
plus i have a 2 different magic mags with a 30 to 50 lvl difference in the mental area and their my dmg only a few point apart..

Twin daggers, double saber and claw here.

[Jonty]

I'm pretty fond of the claw too, but that photon art (I'm guessing you'll just know what I mean :P) is terrible! It does 75% damage, only hits twice, and it's incredibly slow.

It's pretty darned irritating picking up a great weapon only to realise that it's photon art is utterly horrendous.

[R3volver]

I don't like how useless a lot of the weapons are. Nor do I like how everyone has the same stuff that I have. Section IDs etc.

[Jonty]

Yeah, I would like there to be quite a few more weapons. Section IDs were pretty groovy.

[keizeh]

Isn't it possible t change the PA of weapons?
I think you can with the second option of the guy that adds elements to your weapon(Was afraid to test this out, because my wep already had the PA I wanted on it)

[Jonty]

I'm afraid not; the second option increases your weapon's percentage in one area.

[_Vyser_]

yeah, the claw PAs are questionable. The one where you launch the flaw at the enemy is pretty awesome, but I rarely find a strong claw with it on. The one where you spin around is good too. Basically, any claw PA that isn't that side swipe one. >:/

[Virulent Tiger]

Twin daggers, double saber and claw here.

Twin Daggers, and Claws for the win.

My one addition to the list is Polearms. Again more of my Final Fantasy fan-ness coming out.

Anything to be like a Dragoon. Polearms, Spears, and Lances-a-go-go!


Back when I played PSO, I loved my Heart of Poumns I used those things 100% regardless of boss or situation. I suppose next to that is was a Sange and Yasha combo.

[Jonty]

I found a seven star spear the other day. It looked like a giant spiky candyfloss glass smoothie of death.
...But it had the godawful surfing PA. Bah.

[_Vyser_]

Yeah, it's a shame that some weapons will suck just because of the PA that's linked to it. :/ I guess that just makes the weapons that do have the desired PA more valuable :O

[Yuri_Ranger]

Hmmm..... I would definitly say my Mechguns, and slicers. None of my characters hit for very high damage, so why not hit for alot?
