Well as we all know most the time you use what the best at the time. But as we know when you get later on in levels or max, you just tend go with your Fav type.

So ya Anyway... Knuckles Here http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif Nothing says run then a Beast about to knock you senseless.

B-ranks on network mode, Tornado Break only deals damage and doesn't lend itself well to controlling messes of mobs. It actually takes very little PP to use Tornado Break because of the fact it's pure damage and no knock-back. Not trying to rain on your parade, just saying. :P

I'm currently debatin whether or not my main will be a hunter or force, althoug I plan to make both eventually. If I go hunter my main weapon of choice would be dual claws, but if I go force I'll use a crossbow+cane combo.

Sgt_Shligger
Sep 23, 2006, 03:01 AM
Crossbows are actually decent weapons but they shoot VERY slowly. But, then again, force damage output with a pistol is laughable and mechguns are out of the question---- My force picked up a mechgun and I got zero dmg..... the enemy was fire and the mech was ice ;(

ShinMatsumoto
Sep 23, 2006, 03:06 AM
Let's see...

Shin will use Twin Swords primarily, due to an almost berserker mindset for combat. When the situation calls for a little less finesse and a little more bloodshed (see: more than one enemy) he'll grab the photon greatsword on his back and wade in. For an enemy he can't reach, he'll only grab one of the twin sabers (or rather, I'll have another saber that looks similar to my twin sabers) and his handgun off of his waist and use a modified form of gun kata.

So, I've already got this generally figured out, heh.

Currently Kouyou My beast primarily uses Dagger - Handgun combo - Dagger PA's Roundhouse kick > your soul

For alittle more crowd control he uses Spears for piercing. And against small swarms of weak or slow enemies the dual daggers come out.

Looking forward to using Doublesabers moostly though. I wonder if they're GRM exclusive or whether the other makers will do them eventually aswell. I really hope on getting my hands on a Youmei doublesaber.

Zarbolord
Sep 23, 2006, 08:54 AM

Apparently canes are only for ... right hand? Yeah, so you can't dual them. Unless they will add it to the unlocked parts. And it wouldn't change anything because dualling with them would still just do one tech, if you want to try dualling use a staff, it kinda goes with that. Otherwise have a wand/handgun combo, it's good, so you don't use too much PP.

Twin Sabers, but I would love to try out whips if added. ::"On your knees!":: :cracks whip::

NeoSakura
Sep 23, 2006, 10:49 AM
Dual canes...now that's a funneh imagination. Anyways, now whips would be awesome. Such games are in need of more whips. Ever since I played Seiken Densetsu 2 I found the idea of whips as weapons nifty. Sadly enough, as I find, right now it's kinda pointless to choose between the various weapon types. For me Saber / Handgun is still the best and easiest way to do it and I had no trouble at all going through Story Mode with almost only that. I sure would love to use Twin Claws or Daggers, or even the Double Saber. But I don't really see why they would be any better than Saber / Gun. Not to mention the fact that inactive weapons, especially guns, don't recharge. And that makes it harder...well, rather uncomfortable to use more than just one or maybe two sets of weapons (which right now is Saber / Handgun & Laser Gun for me).

Maybe I just haven't played the game long enough to realize the benefits of each weapon. But for the future I'd wish to be given more motivation or reason to switch to other weapons. For example, a 50% recharge rate for equipped but inactive weapons. Because...I don't see why these weapons shouldn't recharge. Doesn't matter much if my gun is in my hand or in pocket space.

Pengfishh
Sep 23, 2006, 11:29 AM
I won't pretend I know how this game specifically plays, but it's been my experience in most other games involving multiple weapon choices that switching it up just for the sake of switching it up enhances the experience some. So sure, Saber-Handgun may be most effective, but it may not share the love that a Spear or Double Saber might.

And it's all about the love, right?

NeoSakura
Sep 23, 2006, 11:39 AM
On that I have to agree! Like...I'm somebody who loves to use bows or spears. Just no clue...as I said, maybe I haven't played enough yet (around a week now), and have yet to experience online play. Maybe it will be different then. But right now I'm just not motivated to use such weapons. I used a bow for a while, mainly for the dragon boss on Parum. But after that I kinda stopped using it. Such weapons also use quite a bit of PP to be used as main weapon (unless you don't use any elemental bullets), and I find recharging through items kinda messy. That's just me though. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Since...yea...Saber / Handgun gets boring in the long run, although it is awesome to start out the game. Also I find Claw to be fitting, since my main chara will be a Beast. So...right now I use Double Saber, Claw / Machine Gun and Wand / Handgun. Fun fun fun~!
