Going into pso2 with fresh eyes. What are the differences between classes?

[tuxdude143]

What are some of the differences between the pso2 classes?
I hear that they differ gameplay wise so how exacly do they differ.
Also which one would you recommend to a newbe to pso2 like me?

um well, the classes pretty much explain themselves, Hunter/Melee, Ranger/Ranged, Force/Magic-either ranged attack or support. Fighter/Melee with more weapons, Gunner/Melee Ranged, and Tech/more magic again. its just whatever you prefer to use. game isnt hard at all no matter what you choose. you can even mix and match primary/secondary classes to get more efficiency.

It has been always recommended (crossing my fingers to not get flammed) that Hunter is well suited for beginners to learn the gameplay.

Oh hi cyron! still, hunter is a recommended class for noobs is it. Thank. Also I havent yet got the answer to if the different classes have different gameplay.

[Cyron Tanryoku]

Yes, different classes have different gameplay.
Hunter is focused of melee, such as swords
Ranger is focused on firearms, like rifles and launchers
Force is...magic stuff

Then switch it up for faster combat. Save for techer I guess. Its not really faster than force.

Ah, thanks. I hear that you can swap classes at any time though so maybe i should get to grips with pso2 first then find the class thats right for me both stratigy wise and gameplay wise.

Yes, but before you start feeding your mag (a little pet like unit that boost some of your stats and helps you when you are near death) make sure you decide what class is going to be your dominant, since you will want to boost that class stats with the mag.

Reseting your mag stats, or buying new mags cost real money.

Also, be sure to spend some time on the guide sections to find out what skills adapt better to your class and gameplay stats.
Once again, reseting the skill tree or buying a new one cost real money.
