PSO2 Database (sites.google.com/site/pso2db)

[usagi2607]

I just found this PSO2 databases site yesterday: https://sites.google.com/site/pso2db/.
It is quite handy, even though it is not as fancy as PSO2 Cirnopedia (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/), but the data and info is really useful (especially the PAs are described quite clear).

I wonder if anyone else knows this site or who is the site owner ? It is really nice if we can somehow keep this one alive...

There was a thread about it a while ago: http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218022

Be aware that that website has some incorrect information (pointed out in that thread). I'm not sure how much of that has been fixed since then, but there are definitely still errors. For example, the very first paragraph on the Techer page says that Wand Gear explosions aren't affected by JAs, which is incorrect. The Braver page also says that Weak Stance applies both the penalty and the bonus to Wand Gear explosions, which also isn't true. Just a couple of mistakes I noticed from a quick glance.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that the thread already exists. (I'm not good at the forum search).

That was actually why I wonder who the site owner is, so that we might help to get the info up to date.

Another mistake is that it says you need Switch Strike for striking multiplier skills to boost jet boot damage. Urgh, it's full of errors.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the person who posted that older thread is one of the guys working on it.

Sorry but why is that not correct? I think it states that Switch Strike takes advantage of S-ATK multiplier skills (such as Fury Stance or Crazy Beat.. which increase S-ATK). I don't see the mistake here, I know that you get the bonus regardless Switch Strike is activated but then what is the point if you don't use the those bonus (S-ATK)? Or what am I missing here..

Fury Stance doesn't boost S-ATK, it boosts striking damage. Jet Boots do striking damage but use T-ATK. Another example is Heel Stab - it uses R-ATK, but its stab part is striking.

ok, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I was confused between Striking damage and S-ATK (thought they were the same thing...). But, then still for other S-ATK boost skills (Crazy Beat for example) will not work without Switch Strike, is it correct?

This is what the website says:

The purpose of this skill is to do more damage if your S-Atk stat is much higher than your T-Atk, or to take advantage of skills that boost Melee damage but not Tech damage. For instance, Hunter's Fury Stance or Fighter skills that raise S-Atk but not T-Atk (such as Crazy Beat) or only affect melee damage (such as Chase Advance).

The first mistake here is that Fury Stance does not raise S-ATK; it's a striking damage multiplier instead. The second mistake is that you don't need Switch Strike to benefit from striking damage multipliers. Fury Stance and Chase Advance both work with jet boots already by default.

Some more mistakes...

It only says Heal Bonus affects recovery items and techs. It actually affects other sources too, like weapon potentials.

The Elemental Stance description says that Weak Stance don't work for elements with melee weapons, which isn't entirely true in the case of wands.

It says Perfect Keeper requires full HP, which is no longer the case.

The Bullet Keep description doesn't mention that it only works with Ranger weapons.

The Standing Snipe description simply states that the effect is lost in the air, which isn't entirely true. You can use it in the air if you don't move/fall at all.

It says the Tech Arts JA Bonus disappears if you use a normal attack, whereas testing from people on this forum has indicated that the effect can be maintained even if you use normal attacks (although the normal attacks themselves don't get boosted).

It says that Limit Break triggers the Crazy skills, but fails to mention that it also triggers the Slayer skills.

The description for the JA Bonus skills state that they don't apply to Wand Gear, like what is said on the Techer page. Again, this is false.

Some of the skills aren't even mentioned at all on the class pages. For example, the Force page makes no mention of Normal Tech Advance or Tech JA Advance.

The description for the Zan tech states "Targets can be struck twice per blast - once when it travels out, and again when it returns." They can actually be hit way more than two times. The Zan blades can loop around for up to 14 times.

The description for the Zanverse tech states that it gives 10% extra damage, when it actually gives 20% extra damage by default. It also states that Wind Mastery boosts it, but fails to mention any of the other skills or potentials that boost it.

And so on...

Thanks, that is quite some good to know info you got there. I wish that we had a reliable (update-to-date) English database source for these kind of information...

People have been talking about it, but no one seems assed enough to do it.
