Hey,

Do you guys think Cast hunters can come in par with Beasts hunters?
I just love way more the style of Casts than Beast...

And would an expert class ranger/hunter be good too?
Or should I just go full Hunter?

Thanks.

Play whichever you want. This topic has been debated in several other topics, and there is no real definite answer.

Alright, serious response here.

There are advantages to Beast and Cast. Beast have higher ATP, Casts have higher ATA.

I'd go Beast since the Nanoblasts are designed for melee.

btw, the best class of PSU is FrOcast, Frocast pwnz all with his disco spell that covers all elements in one beam.

in reality, if you like Casts better, pick that. There are definate advantages to being a cast over a beast. You have noticably higher accuracy, this point is null if attacking from behind, but depending on your playstyle and party setup, that may occur almost all the time, or rarely. Beasts obviously have the highest ATP in the game, but Casts are not far behind, so the difference is probably not as outstanding as you make it out to be. Other than that, casts have higher DFP while beasts have higher EVP, which most likely will ballance out.

If you are not sure, pick a Cast... and glue some hair on it and you have a Beast!

if it helps.
im playing together with my friends in JP PSU.
we are both in the lvl 30s range.
he is a HUbeast me the HUcast ( yup and i played them in pso too thats why XD )
all i can say he got more hp but is taking more damage while i dodge more attacks ( bad for skillz >,<!!!) got more def and a lil less hp.
for the damage we do.its not a very big difference.
all i can say.....i dont like it when my skillz get interrupted when i dodge attacks >,<!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grammar is mostly about eloquence and intelligence. Not so much showing that you are eloquent and intelligent so much as that you have the capacity to be eloquent and intelligent. You could grunt and wave your arms in the air and get your point across.

I will become an English teacher.

to the OP, i know Cast and Beast make better Hunter(Fortefighter ) but im gonna be a human. i play pso japanese version and really the difference between which class you are isnt that detrimental as it seems, unless your a cast force then there is obviously better choices.

O.k. If you want to do maximum damage, be a beast. If you want to do less damage, but actually hit the enemies, be a cast.

Eh im gonna be a Human Hunter basicly

Humans are good cause there a jack in all trades but master of none and can hold themselfs pretty damn well. Also with help from a party humans make good allys. Im just getting my human to know and master alot of the Melee weapons and 1 maybe 2 range weaps and im set

I don't think Beasts ATA will stop them from making contact. Sega obviously made the character to be a hunter. Making contact was not a major issue in PSO and I don't believe it will be an issue for beasts in PSU, especially at higher levels. Beasts may not be suited to use a gun, but as far as being a hunter they are fine. Casts would make fine hunters and rangers, you just sacrifice a lil HP and ATP. In conclusion, I do not feel Beasts lower ATA will be a problem and there additional ATP is an obvious benefit. If you do plan on using a gun at all maybe the cast is the right choice for you.

I think thats what samuel L jackson would look like if he was a frocast.

It all comes down to personal taste, really. A good PSO comparison between the two would be HUcast (like beasts, hit like trucks but can't hit the side of a barn at first) and HUcaseal (like the new 'casts. The ATA hunter). Personally, I liked both. The Beast hunter will be more specialized, the 'cast hunter will be more of a hybrid ranger/hunter. Both will have their roles.

Won't it just boil down to beast HU's using more ATA-raising units and cast HU's using more ATP-raising units?

One of my many GC PSO characters was a HUne. HUne's had the worst ATA of all HU's. Stil, with 60 DEX in the mag, high hit% weapons, and a Elf/Arm++ (later, a God/Arm) she never missed, so her low ATA never really mattered.

Make a cast and a beast, try out hunter for both, and then decide which one it'll be.

Beast is the best if you dont pick it you're gimped

Nanoblast + highest dmg per hit = win

FighGunner is my ideal class for Cast. Cast has nice Attack power and Accuracy, I can see FG being a widley used combination for the race.
