Has anyone changed their mind which Race/Class they will cho

[Saner]

Ya the wait has been a long one, but now we reached a point when we know more about PSU than ever before.

And so has anyone reconsidered their plans and choice regarding which race (or class) they wanna focus on? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Nope, I've wanted to be a Human hunter from the very start and my stance hasn't changed.

[anmato145]

Sticking to exactly what I started as since dreamcast... When that char is maxed out i'll make another... Like always.

[Pengfishh]

Yep, I had it in my mind for a while that I'd use a HUnewm, but I think I'd enjoy a HUcaseal a lot more. I have a very good idea of how to make the HUcaseal which makes me want to do it first. Sort of thing. HUnewm will come around eventually, I'm sure.

Yup, same here bud. I started PSO as a HUmar as well as ended it one. I'll of course have other characters, but a HUmar will always be my main.

I wub j00 fox http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif. Do you have aim bud? But yeah I also enjoy other classes and races. I like HUcast, which makes me wanna remake Zanmato on PSU. As a matter of fact once my Newman is done i'm working on my Cast http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[foamcup]

I was all set on newman, then went to cast, then back to newman, now I'm thinking beast. They just look so cool, and I wanna try that nanoblast.

[Schubalts]

I still can't decide between newmans or casts! Darn the awesomeness of pointy ears and metal bodies! Why can't we have mechanical newmans?

Not I, I'm sticking with my original plan for a Force. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cool.gif

human male hunter from dc days human male hunter psu days i will always be a human male hunter

[Alisha]

im pretty set on my races ,however ive come to the conclusion that the hybrid extra classes will suck because they sacrifice melee ability for the ability to cast techs.i think wartecher will be like a fomar capped at lvl 20 techs.maybee they are good if you need to solo but not in team play. so looks like its gonna be all forte for me.

[A2K]

I really didn't have anything specifically planned, to tell you the truth.

[phunk]

I know my race but as for class, I'm still undecided.

[Sevenfold]

Cast since day one.

[Zarbolord]

Same here, that is, for my first character....Second is newman, third is beast, fourth human.

[Sevenfold]

Alas, I do the one character thing at a time, I cant stand switching toons until one is absolutely complete

[Zarbolord]

Same, but nothing stops me from thinking about them, waiting for the game to come out in november is so boring.

[Sevenfold]

Boring!? Im talking on a message board! Thats the definition of boredom!

[zofia]

'Newearl for life.

[Mwabwetumba]

Metal to the bones..

[Mazoku]

I was going to remake my DC HUnewearl, but then I made her in offline mode and I realized my tastes have changed since then. She just doesn't look good to me anymore. That plus the lower hunter newman stats. I love the new human cast faces and the SUV weapons so I'm pretty sure I'm going cast this time around.

This seems true for the most part, but i'd think it mildly safe to assume Guntecher may be somewhat decent, given they get a high ranking in bows.

From what it sounds like, a force using a bow can spit out the same dmg/shot as a ranger using a rifle currently, now imagine that power on a job made to shoot things o.O

I seen no proof that the dual classes will get a downgrade in stats or whatever. I thought it would be more something like they would be the best at two things at once. and Forte can simply go one step further in mastery of one class.

Alisha's post is proof enough saner...

[DONTOSE]

i was thinking about having a force cast just to see what will happen or a force hunter cast expert class to make it fun but will i have high mind power and high atp and dfp at the same time like hunter high atp dfp and force high mst mind power together at the same time.

[Aion_Clyuve]

Casts forever. All meatbags are for is slave labor.

[zofia]

I see it more like Saner describes it.

The fortes sacrifice flexibility for ultra-specialization, while Guntechers and Wartechers are more the jack-of-all trades classes.

Side note: I personally think, looking at that chart, that all x's should be replaced by a 1, since Fortecher gets a 1 in Skill, but that's a minor point.

Some people like to be THE best in one area with their character. Fortefighter, Fortegunner and Fortecher will naturally appeal to those people.

Some people like to be strong in a couple areas, for the flexibility that affords, even if that means not being tops in any one category. I don't think flexible characters are anti-team or anti-useful. Quite the contrary! But not everyone sees it that way, I know.

I am definitely going to be a Wartecher, the more I think about it. They seem to be the descendents of HUnewearls and Guntechers seem to be the descendents of RAmarls... my two favorite character classes of all time!

FYI: Before you ask, I spent at least 90% of my PSO time on DC and GC online, so its not because of solo reasons that I like this sort of mix.

I can't count how many times a nasty Ult Seabed run would see the FO get 2-hit (usually by a delbiter) just as s/d/j/z was wearing off. While it wasn't as uber when my RAmarl or HUnewearl refreshed the buffs to 'hold the fort' it still was a world better than having NO s/d/j/z/r/a. It usually meant we could fight off the room and then moon atomizer the FO back. Stuff like that is where a hybrid character helps a team. When everyone is up and fighting, naturally the specialists shine! But if you're in a tough spot, that isn't always the case. Since we can have up 6 people in a team now, I would think there would be even more room for the different styles to compliment each other online.

I realize I'm just guessing and stuff, but I have to believe that's the overall intent of ST.

I believe ST brought in expert classes for flexibility. People who want to be 2 jobs at once now have the chance. And the people who want to excel in they're main job can. I know I'm gonna stick to force and max it all the way. Adding 6 ppl to the group is going to make end game pretty fun. All the different team combinations will definately come into play then.

Without actually playing the job there is no way to be certain and saying 'hybrid jobs suck' is merely an assumption...I'm not saying hybrids will be good or bad i'm just saying ruling out either option is pretty foolish since no one has even tested them out yet.Your entire opinion of a job (that you've never played) should never be changed by one objective statement, there are WAY to many unknown factors to consider...A basic hunter has 20Melee 10range and 0tech...a hybrid has 20m 10r and 20t....I can't comprihend why that would be considered negligible as has been implied....

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I am not trying to challenge that....I just want to get my facts straight, and not just assume one way or the other.

[Yachiru]

I'm debating on a Beast or a Human. I said Beast from the begining but, I'm not sure. TT;

[Rizen]

Im still going to be Human (Ranger). Making a Beast (Knuckle Hunter) as well (couldnt resist the cuteness).

[Scirrocco]

Always wanted to be a Cast hunter or Figunner. Theres really no reason to change. The question is, use a slot for SUV weapon though?

[Flamingo99]

Still going to be a Beast

[Alisha]

if the pattern stays the same only forte classes will have access to 3rd tier PA's,technics and barret arts.

i speculate it is 1,11 then 21.



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Alisha on 2006-09-28 13:11 ]</font>

[Parn]

Don't know if it's specifically 21 that you get a third PA attack, but I can confirm that you only have two PA attacks to chain at skill level 20.

Whether you think that third attack is worth the lack of versatility is purely dependant on the player.

[Torpid]

Human cuz...well not a lot of black ppl so i gotta represent the AA's!
and secondary char will be CAST, cuz I really wanna try outfitting with some impressive gear.

[Shinjiro]

Well, since the beginning I wanted to be beast, which I will; But since I've seen how badass the casts are, and the SUVs look kickass also, so I'm definitelly going to make a cast as well.

[Itsuki]

Not all PAs have a 3rd attack if I recall correctly. They still get that bonus little jump in effectiveness as 3rd tier aswell.

This isn't the thread for this discussion, but you have to take into consideration if the benefits are greater than the losses. A newman hunter will never be the main damage dealer, so the ability to also cast techs may be a huge advantage to it. Especially in an area like Hakura, where most monsters have very high melee defence and very low defence against techniques. A ranger also may be content with its 2rd tier status effects, and choose to add melee ability, or add magical ability to increase its potential. Monsters die too fast, and the added length of time the status effects are active and the small bonus to elemental damage may not offset the usefulness of buffs or 2nd tier skills.

But, to stay on the topic of this thread, I originally wanted to play Newman Force, but after playing newman force for most of the beta, I decided I liked Ranger better. Newman force was just too boring. Ranger is so much more fun than Force and Hunter (to me).

[Niki]

I've tried 'em all. Stickin' with Plan A.

[-Shimarisu-]

Changed my mind from human hunter/FO to Fortefighter beast.

And not because the hybrids suck. I'm gonna have hybrids fighting alongside me.

[Alexandrious1]

Nope, staying Human, gonna play all the classes as a Human. Perty much.

[kassy]

Actually after playing a ranger for a bit on JP PSU I decided to make one for the English version as my secondary character.

Still keeping Fo as my first choice, I for one like everything they've changed within the classes since PSO.
