FO poll: Talis or Rod?

[_Nue]

I'm just curious as to the ratio of players that use a Talis or Rod compare to each other. For me, as FO, I use Talis literally 99% of the time, the 1% is when I use a rod for completing certain COs. I find using rods too much of a burden, since with Talis, you can throw and cast anywhere. The only pro I find in rods is that they can be more powerful than talis.

I did not include TE in this because this poll is strictly FO. However, feel free to post what you usually use for TE and whatnot.

Rod, mainly, because of the damage gap. It becomes even more apparent with equivalent rares. I'm here to cast techs, not put on a laser light show.

But I do prefer the Talis-only COs over Rod-only ones, since I need my peashooter sidearm. If I can switch freely, Rod all the way, no question.

If I were a Techer and didn't have a good all-class Rod (I don't think there really is one?), then I'd use a Talis cause Wands suck ass for casting and the stat gap isn't as bad. But since I'm not taking Wand Gear, there's absolutely no reason to main Techer. And subbing anything but Force as a Techer is ludicrous.

Oh, we had this thread before. If memory serves, it devolved into a mud-slinging elitist fest. Hope this one turns out better.

No it won't sadly.

Talis will outclass rods anytime holding your position isn't an issue. Other than that, rods will put talis' to shame.

[Totori]

Rods the damage is much better.

Rods yo

My only issue with talis is having to jump after throwing a card to cancel that downtime if i don't need to cast anything.

Other than that, mostly talis.
Rods if i need to get physica-
Oh wait, I play techer.
WANDS!

Talis for fun, Rod for serious fighting.
