i think it can be very hard to use at times for tagging enemies before hunter kill them all. esspecially when i shoot something like diga, and the enemie moves out of the way.

Well, diga is really slow... If you're trying to tag things, pull out ra-techs. Much more effective, and they have a limited lock-on ability

If you practice at it, you'll be very good at aiming... For tagging, use ra-techs.

Diga isn't the best spell of choice for tagging mobs, it's slow moving and Arc's. Best weapon a Fo can use to tag enemies is your trusty handgun http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif Things get differant on B and A ranks though. Sure on C rank it can be hard to kill the mobs before the hunters get them, but on B and A the mobs have so much health there's no reason not to have tagged the mobs.

I'm very accurate with my techs. I do get close to enemies to make sure I get my attack to hit the enemies. I can even hit the neidaiz worms right when they come up from the ground. I do enjoy dodging and moving around when I attack, that is what's fun about being a force. And that is why I can't play hunter that well, I only prefer long ranged fighting.

i do use the ratechs, a lot actually, but if the enemy youre trying to hit moves the slightest distance away from right in front of you, the ratech shoots past them and misses. 7/10 tries i hit, im just trying to perfect myself by hitting 10/10 or 9/10 times.

Hehe should consider yourself lucky though Raine. Some missions are just a pain for hunters. I get so stressed out playing Fanatics since I'm moving through a obsticle course with bombs going off all over xD

If you need to tag, barta or a handgun. The new system separates the men from the FOmars.

I have to Strafe in order to aim good, also my bow does wonders. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Only idiots who can't strategize or anticipate movement miss spells. C'mon, it's "What direction will the bad guy go" 101 at it's finest. If you need more practice, go download Tribes for free off the official site and maybe i'll give you lessons. :3

EDIT: Startagize to Strategize. Haha, it's early.

Use a gun, you dolt!

Seriously now, who tries to tag with spells? Just shoot each one time -- you get the EXP even if you miss or do 0 damage.

Tag all enemies with guns for your exp, once you've got them all, unleash teh FORCE!

You'll find that as you get your ra-spells past level 11, they become much better at tagging.

Tagging with Handguns and Ra-techs is much better than tagging with Diga. Seriously, man... c'mon.

LOL - I read this topic and thought, "What? There's a system?" I always just sort of face th enemy and hit the button.

I do miss the autotargetting of the basic techs in PSO though.

I for one like the spell targeting the way it is. It makes all the spells feel unique in the way and type of damages they do. It takes SKILL to use them, rather than point and click. If you want fast tagging use a gun or a penetrating spell the travels in a line.

If spells and fire arms had the circling option that hunters (melee weapons) have, things would get broken fast.. you would have classic broken "circle of death" tactics that would get cheap fast. Fun for some, boring for me. Atleast with a hunter using melee targeting and circling they can still suffer the chance of eating a few hits. Masterful melees i have seen however, are about flawless in thier hitpoint pools so far. You can already do psuedo circle-of-death with a gun in one hand and a melee weapon in the other. Dosent need to get any more broken than that ... you still have to be down with your timing to pull it off.

Just wait until i can be a wartecher .. Its going to be slow and clunky but im going to practice circle-of-death spell tactics as soon as I am able, just to see if it is at all feasible (so far i say it isnt).

since all people tht have a force were horrible at the aiming system when they first began, i guess tht means were all idiots including you http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I think Foie and Zonde should have a 1 degree turning radius besides that my only complaint is overshooting with Ra techs. the aiming system isn't too bad.
