Should Casts use the FOrce?

[Niloklives]

Both in PSO and PSU CAST could use Techincs, using weapons... the hability to cast a Techknic without the use of a weapon was only possible in PSU with the use of a Photon Seal, which seems to be forbidden in Gurhal.

where did you read that casts could use techs in PSO? I know there were weapons that could cast techs, but those were weapon properties made clear by the fact that they didn't cast techs based on the levels the user possessed but by what was bound to the weapon and it could be argued that it was just a result of recycled graphics and that the weapons weren't using techs at all.

In early PS games, casts(androids) can't use techs.

Well... part of me wants all of the races in PSO2 to be able to use techs, but the other part of me knows that if that happened, Casts would most likely be the worst at it, and would probably just be better off not being able to use them at all in exchange for other things (use of traps, immunity to poison/paralysis, HP regen when idle, etc.).

Also, I thought it was rather messed up that, in PSU, Casts were among the best Acrotechers simply because buffs and debuffs didn't rely on any magic stats for them to be effective, and then they could just zerg through everything with their beefed up ATP and SUV weapons, because apparently tech damage paled in comparison even if you WERE statistically good with them...

We'd likely see a cast that played like a human hunter with a horrible weapon selection and really good buffs.

Casts have always used Forces, I do not see what you are babbling about.

'Come here, FOnl, heal me!'
'Buff me, FOmar!'
'The monsters have Shifta, Jellen then (Iron), Jellen them!'

Casts, using Forces since 2000

[Niloklives]

Use the force, not ABUSE the force.

To be fair to CASTs, us forces use them just as equally.

CAST: Hey force, buff me! *force buffs
Force:Great you're buffed, now go stand in in front of me and take hits!

That's how it always worked for me on the gamecube. I'd ryuker, buff, debuff, tag, then freeze or stun while the casts (or hunters in general) would clean up.

Haha same here. Though, typically I was the first one into the room, I'd run in, debuff, then find the biggest shield I could and take shots from behind them

Oh yeah then of course trying not to die and being the guy you resurrect your teammates whenever there is the small chance of them dieing.

I was pretty good about keeping my teammates alive. Though I do miss the days when if the Force died, there was a mad scramble to resurrect them, as they're the ones keeping everyone else in the party alive lol.

So in hindsight, yeah. I'd love to see an actual FOcast role in this game. (Provided they have a similar class system to PSO). I imagine they'd play a lot like I played FOmar, mostly support with some range and a lot of melee thrown in. Would be pretty cool, plus it never hurts to have another healer. Am I right? ^.-
