So does this make fT better than MF? It's a tough call, thats IF they give all the LB's to to every techer class.

EDIT: If the LB's are enabled all for other classes, then Newman fT can now have all the LB's except for zonde, megid and barta(since they only do 10% more damage). (granted he/she only pushes the techs up to 42)

Same goes for MF

[cheapgunner]

Are the LB "enabled for other types" mean MF can use the LB's it couldn't before in the update. That or FT reaches MF status. Would be great for MF to use all the other LB's but probably won't happen.

[str898mustang]

well unless they only enable them for other certain types (like WT gets Noz tech LB's)

[cheapgunner]

Revenge Blaster(Max) + Avenge + Rustularod + Newman MF against a dragon = Pure Win...

[Coast]

I hate psu for doing this, it makes me actually want to play more. All that grinding for AP is going to suck haha.

[Midori Oku]

I really hope the Dam-tech Limit Breaks are exclusive to Masterforce. It would be nice if Masterforce can at least get Ra-tech Limit Breaks. If that happens MF will by far be better than FT. Well, assuming that Dam-tech LB's are not overpowered, if they are not for MF. Gi-tech Limit Breaks would be nice on Masterforce, but it's really not as important as Ra-tech LB's. The possibility of Dam-techs hitting multiple spots is very interesting.

I'm also interested to see what Limit Break Nagrants does. Maybe it will finally be useful in TA's? :O


I have got a lot of stuff to do. Get to 180 and at least 30 AP for the update. Hopefully more cause I would like to get Limit Break Diga.


Edit: This update has the potential to make Fortetecher obsolete again. lol

[str898mustang]

and to think...I was debating on selling my Shadow Taker....not now! lol

[Midori Oku]

and to think...I was debating on selling my Shadow Taker....not now! lol


You should just give it to me! :3

[Keilyn]

Yay ^^ More things for Keilyn. :)

I wonder if all the other classes would get the RA limit breaks.

[cheapgunner]

I soo want to play on the servers there but must wait a bit longer for a new pc. ( Nooo... >.< )

[Crysteon]

http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/mother-of-god-meme.jpg

Lol...that was the very first reaction after Omi showed me the update on MSN. MF is gonna be broken again! AF needs some love also : okay: (lol, yes..we need more love :0 )

[LP_Phoenix]

yes.....make techers even stronger....sega u are crazy...

[Polantaris]

I dunno how strong Techers are with GAS (since it's a new system to me), but without it they're easily the weakest types, so I welcome buffs to Techers, even if I can't actually use them yet xD.

[Alex305!]

Seems that techers get all of the love from JpPSU.... Its well deserved but I feel like the gunner is getting ignored. :/ I hope C rate is worth it after this update.

Lol what? This is basically the first thing techers have received since FT got limt break Ra-techs. The last PA adjustments for techers was the Megid, Barta, and Zonde adjustments.

Gunners have received all kinds of adjustments on bullets.

[GCoffee]

blabla, killing monsters taking 2 whole seconds for me as a ranger while forces can kill them within 1 is so unfair, blabla. The monsters should all die upon sight, bla!

Sorry I did not clarify I meant for GAS. But you're right though. Although I would like something more flashy.

[Keilyn]

This update actually does more than you can possibly imagine.

It actually depowers Rutsu and ShadowTaker.

The reason players love Rutsu and why its worth so much is because the 20% increase in power actually allows MFs to do better against their weakness of multi-hitbox enemies as well as single hit box LARGE enemies. Outside of the Limit Break Foei and Diga, they had nothing for dealing with multi hit boxes.

Standard method for dealing with single hit box was to simply Proc an enemy with a DoT using a rod or wand that increased Proc Rate and then nail it with Diga, Nozdiga or Foei...or grants...

IF MFs are open to all the Limit Breaks, we are talking about a 10% increase in damage and now being able to destroy multi hitbox enemies with no real problem.

This would mean Rutsu would be more useful against single hitbox enemies which depend on being able to proc first, then damage them.

The Limit Breaks would allow any MF out there to simply put the techs on 10/10 mags and start casting Limit Break Gi/Ra techs without having to hunt down a super rare weapon, Any MF out there with entry level 10* weapons with those breaks will do more damage than practically any higher rods (except a rutsu) without the Limit Breaks.

So sure, Rutsu is strong and respected....but with any player being able to make an MF work from nothing thanks to Limit Breaks, it really does get Depowered in a different way altogether.

It took them some time but they fixed techers 100%. Now instead of just giving good damage they can also handle multiple hitboxes too. But it kinda makes FT obsolete IMO but maybe i'm not looking into it fully.

Ugh..Techers look so fun now but they are HORRIBLE before 180. I couldn't level mine I kinda quit around lvl 120 or a little before. I have to leech exp in a party or I can't do anything.

[Positive]

before 180

It's actually pretty easy to get AP before 180 on 3rd stage GAM. I wouldn't use MF to farm them though.

Hey, thats why you have so many types.

Yeah, sure...techers need 180 and GAS, but there are other types to play with you know. They are called Master Types for a reason. A general expectation is to start with your PAs at 40, leveled and learned through other types and then put it all together through the master type.

Dont view it as a "type" but as a character since you have the freedom of choice to choose a type.

I wouldn't say that necessarily. They are nowhere near as good without the LB's, but they are not bad. They can still kill trash mobs very fast.

This is true but I play a newman. I need a LOT of money to get good equipment to make up for the Newmans shortcomings. I don't have much money or good weapons...Its a good class if you played this game for a long time though and in my opinion the most rewarding class.

This is why I can't move away from the gunner class. You don't even need good equips just PA's. I just hate how hard their PA's are to level though...

Maybe a newman gunner would work out till 180....lolno

Which missions would you say are good for this? They're all pretty hard to solo, especially Black Nest/R as Protranser :o

World of Illusion is easy enough to do until you get pushed into death zones all the time.

You do the first block of World of Illusion over and over. It's like 25-30k EXP if you solo it, if I remember correctly.

Do you play Newman in 360 or in psujp?

[Anna_Wren]

Why are people assuming that the limit breaks will be limited at all? Isn't it more likely that they decided to make the limit breaks availble to all classes?

[str898mustang]

because when the extra limit breaks came out, it just said New Limit breaks...it never said what classes would get them. Everyone was suprised to see only certain classes got certain limit breaks

[Midori Oku]

I am keeping my fingers crossed for at least Limit Break Ra-techs on Masterforce.

It's really 18k per run. Average is 1 ap per hour if you can clear it around 1:30 minutes.

[Alex305!]

I'm sorry I almost forgot about this....I play psu JP. I just decided I'll level up my newman during an event or something. Kind of a weird question considering this is about JP psu updates.

[Keilyn]

You get both types of people in every thread.

Pardon me for seeming withing the realm of elitism. I am working on a small guide for this. I write pretty fast, but its about time, since everyone I run into ask me the same 10+ questions. I'll return later. ^_^

[JCGamer]

Im guessing more ohtori for me hehehe. alot ap work

[Shou]

Masterforce gets Gi, Nos, Simple, and Nagrants Limit Breaks. - I'm happy with that except for the fact that the only dark multi-hit tech will be Nosmegid.

Acrotecher gets Gi and Dam tech Limit Breaks

Fortetecher gets Ra, Simple, and Dam tech Limit Breaks

Wartecher gets Gi, Nos, and Nagrants Limit Breaks

Guntecher gets Ra, Nos, and Nagrants Limit Breaks

[Midori Oku]

Masterforce gets Gi, Nos, Simple, and Nagrants Limit Breaks. - I'm happy with that except for the fact that the only dark multi-hit tech sill be Nosmegid.

It also has Limit Break Grants.

[Cyanide77]

So what's the point of having a human again?

[Shou]

It also has Limit Break Grants.

I consider it a simple tech. Its LB even does the same thing as LB Foie and Diga.

[Midori Oku]

LB Grants (only got 3 spots in the pic, but it hits 4)

Gibarta LB (My personal favorite of the three pics)

[str898mustang]

why not use a rod to show the damage??

[Midori Oku]

There is really no point. The only thing I was going for was to show the number of targets they hit. I am nowhere fully GAS'ed, so the numbers would not have been anything special. All I have is Attack Range+ lvl1, LB Diga, LB, Gibarta, and LB Grants.

[Crysteon]

Rutsu/Shadowtaker...or bust!! ;<

Yeah...as I thought...MF is broken again. \o/

[Midori Oku]

Rutsu/Shadowtaker...or bust!! ;<

I will get a Rutsu sooner or later. =/

[Crysteon]

I will get a Rutsu sooner or later. =/

Get Shadowtakers instead, they seem to be cheaper D:

[Midori Oku]

Ok, so LB Nosdiga is lolbroken on Masterforce. Using a 10/10 Rutsu I hit 4491 on lvl175 Go Bajilla. I was hitting 6736 after getting LB Nosdiga. Yeah, I like it

Odessa has officially made me his guinea pig. D:

[Crysteon]

Odessa has officially made me his guinea pig. D:

Can I put that on my sig? I feel identified too! (nah jk, lol)

[cheapgunner]

I'll be joining you Midori once I can get a new desktop pc and my classes under my belt. These new LB's sound beyond awesome :0.

[Cyanide77]

[spoiler-box]http://i39.tinypic.com/qsrr0y.jpg[/spoiler-box]

not sure if this has any significance. (3:00 A.M. PST)

[FOkyasuta]

Looks like im Running Ohtrori with Sakura later.
