oh right flame tech short charge probably got messed up a bit by photon flare rod short charge too; it was kind of a delicate balance, but the reality of it I'd say is that they'd have to eventually just remove flame tech short charge and buff fire tech base power across the board
Fo changes give me an impression that Sega doesn't know what to do with the class at all. They still can't for some reason give it enough points for maxed PF along with element-related skills, while letting Br take almost everything. Furthermore I'm not even sure if they are still going to fix any of the bigger issues outlined in the latest player survey.
The rest of changes is nice. More Bo buffs and finally they made Hr counter restore hero boost.
HR counter by that you mean dodging stuff can recover Boost? or do you mean dodge then attack?
Max out base T atk skills instead since you really want the fast casting the most from PF BUT Photon Flare Advance 2 should be knocked down to 5 sp too. Tri Element build with all the extras though might be too much but i can understand from the lack of dmg department if you do that. Force doesnt need to grab every single skill on the tree possible to make it good either.Quote:

I see no harm in Fo being able to have this 6-8% damage boost in form of PF ontop of Flame S Charge/Lightning PP Save. And I don't think that tri element build with all the extras will be too much, there's nothing gamebreaking in Force's skill tree at all and it needs something to set it apart from Ph, which just feels much better if you want to play a caster class. Otherwise these skills will remain unused like they were for a long time already.Quote:

I'm excited to see the Br changes as well though.Quote:

This situation reminds me skill trees lobotomy in World of Warcraft...
because Bow was really bad to use if you were putting SP into Kat skills etc you kinda need those extra R atk skills and w/e else that can have Bow not be at a bad dmg level. Vice Versa with a Bow main Br.Quote:

Real talk, YSOK doesn't know what hes doing with the game balance right nowQuote:
