View Full Version : So..what is your style of fighting?

Too many variations for a poll.

I prefer the twin line of blades. I keep three kinds with me since it's quite possible to burn through PP in a matter of seconds. I tried the 1 handed sword route and it didn't *feel* right.

Some styles when used in one group can make a huge Lawn Mower party. You know when you literally tear through 3 waves of monsters and no one got hit? lol

Anyway post away...

I beat the crap out of everything with my sword, and I'm good at it. Sadly it's not very complicated so I can't really say much more than that. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Tag enemies with my Ice Handgun, finish them off with my Saber/Lightning Dagger. Rinse and repeat.
Even with TENORA weapons, my PP never runs out.

Bum rush things with Twin Daggers. >.> It makes Forces hate me though since their precious nuking takes a backseat to healing.

Spear, using Dus Daggas quite a lot.

If I get a mob causing problems, I switch to Twin Sabers and use Rising Crush to put them in the air.

Also use a Sword for slower enemies, like Koltovas.

I like to stay within close to melee range despite being a gunman. Usually, I will...
1. At the beginning of a mission, empty my three machineguns on whatever I see.
2. Spread my damage with a shotgun, or go point-blank with it.
3. Kite with a handgun and if things get hairy I'll use my saber to make things fly or conserve ammo.

Stay back, and either A)Foie/Diga/Rafoie/Radiga stuff into oblivion, or B)Barta for large groups. And heal when needed.

As a Hunter: Dagger+Pistol or Twin Dagger
As a Ranger: Sword+Machinegun (I LOVE MACHINEGUN!)
As a Force: Wand+Pistol (no prefered spell to date)

I mainly have 3 great swords (different elements) with me, my tornado break is at level 21 and I use the combo on the PA anytime 3 mobs are near me, the second spin lays around double the damage from the first spin seems like. When my PP runs out, I switch, 3 Great Swords is good to handle a run anywhere thus far. I use the Twin Blades as well for mobs like the Rhino's, Sleeping Warriors boss, etc. to knock em down and keep em from charging or stunning em, if they get near a Force or player with low health.

Situations dictate my style, that's the good thing about being a Hunter, we're all around weapons masters.

PA roulette at the moment. pick a weapon, drain the PA and move on next one. I'll end up focusing on pure double sabers when they are released.

BloodDragoon
Nov 4, 2006, 07:59 PM
I used saber/handgun exclusively for awhile till I synthed a 5 star spear. Now I'm lvling that up. For handgun element tho I prefered fire due to the burning DoT effect that seems to work of a % of the monsters max HP and amounts to a fair bit of extra damage at higher ranked missions.

I use shotgun on groups of smaller enemies, spamming ice and lightening bullets while slowly strafing. On flying and tougher/boss enemies I'll use my fire/ice rifles either in strafe or first person mode. If I run out of ammo on both, or just feel like getting in close I switch over to my dagger/pistol combo. I never die.

I play for fun and the community really, not like I have places to go, S class weapons to use, and expert classes to earn lol. When I do run for S rank its usually in a premade or some elses pug. When I'm with friend theres no problems with items, finishing rank, or how long its going to take(2hr? A rank Temple run lol)

Nov 4, 2006, 09:03 PM
i try to play a tight game of counter attacking mobs with my spear and dus daggas, lock on strafe and retreat when they advance and attack, then spear them in during their recoil or their own retreat. mostly for solo with that, but i still keep those tactics in mind with a group, just i can be a bit more free in my PA usage.

sometimes i get impatient in solo and i take a few hits i could easily avoid tho...

CrazySwayzee
Nov 4, 2006, 09:06 PM
with my FO,
I cast a TECHNIC, run away, cast another one and depending on the TECHNIC I may move strategially to a place where I can get a bunch of mobs to group together so I can take them out with a multi-mob hitting TECHNIC.

I also like to go around and attack a mob's back-side.

with a Hunter, I basically run in and swipe my saber and hope they die before I do.

PaladinRPG
Nov 4, 2006, 09:07 PM
My favored style so far is using knuckles (bogga danga) and spears (dus daggas), with a spare handgun w/frozen shot for hitting fliers, closing in, or just trying to tag things in high level games. I'm starting to get synthing down, so soon some elemental weapons for me too. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Exactly. What's the rush? ;p We always go for S-rank, but we're not super anal about it. People die, shit happens, nothing you can really do. We only get mad if someone does it deliberaetly to be an asshole ;p

Anywho, I'm online right now, just cruising around unibaasu 15, west district of Holtes city, if you want to come find me! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

You guys will find me pretty social in parties... Im only "business" when I am working on my shop (and then its usualy a comment in my box and I am soloing). Otherwise I like to keep things fun and full of smiles.. thats the style that suits me best. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif I like laughter with my missions.

Ice handgun (later cards when added) and wand for me. (primarily earth or lightning) Mass explosions abound! What few survive are left frozen, shocked or silenced.

When using other classes, I prefer the handgun/saber combo or twin dagger. Old school, but effective.

I carry an element to support the weaknesses of the monsters I'm fighting, as a hunter. So I've got Light, Ice, Dark, and Ground. No one goes to Neudaiz, but if they did, I'd have a fire saber. Maybe I'll make one anyway.

Single Saber or Double Saber?

Nov 4, 2006, 10:29 PM
higher damage per hit and ability to have ranged right there instead of needing to swtich out?

Just for the sake of variety, really. I spent my first 30 levels using a twin saber, so that wore on my nerves pretty quick. I eventually made twin daggers, a sword, and some knuckles, and they're all fun to switch between. So, I'm just gonna make a single saber for the sake of difference. Not damage.

Oh shit. Loving the input people! LOL @ Miyoko and Yoruichi go party up sometime ;p. I see Yoruichi all the time but probably don't see me cause I'm a speed demon. I never stop running: always going somewhere lol.

When double sabers come out that will probably be my "upgrade" from Twin blades.

/me hoping the female attack animation with them is the same in PSO. Poetry in motion.

my main fighting style for a Hunter is to use Twin Sabers and Twin Daggers and just run in and destroy all that comes in my way. if I was a Ranger, I might try using the Machine Gun + Saber combo, don't really like the two-handed guns much since if I run out of pp, then I'm helpless unless I have another which costs money.

DonRoyale
Nov 5, 2006, 11:49 AM
Depends on the char for me, really.

Ethan: Twin Sabers, Spears
Shadow: Techs (for now)
Hagane: Fire guns
Drake: Haven't set him up yet.
My female beast character: Spears

Meh, I hate having limited equipment choices...>>

Ammy
Nov 5, 2006, 12:27 PM
I use fists, twin daggers, twin sabers, sword and gun, great sword equally. I usually start off fights by running right at the enemy, but right before they attack, run around them and attack their backs, makes less stress for my force friends http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Durandal single saber baby, go buck wild on single targets and when they gather round I do the rising strike combo chain and send the whole group in pieces across the room.
