    FiTe isnt a problem to level up as long as you have an all class wand and access to LQs.

    Thank you for your replies but... my friend is rather straightforward and she really doesn't know how to do anything else than spamming Techniques. So, a Wand Wack based Fi/Te or Te/Fi isn't an option. We have to go on pure Technique casts, here.

    This is going to sound weird, but Talis TATK Hero. If you want all Dark, all day, on any enemy, Hero is the only class that gets full multipliers. Every other class, you get screwed by no mastery or needing to match weak element.

    TE/FO would be the way to go then. No need for tons of gear. A decent Talis is more than enough, plus it has support techniques for when dark techs don't fare so well

    then prolly a classic fire/light/dark fo/te is your best starting bet and would be easiest to level since te/fo can be levelled/used with 1 talis, then try to incorporate fi in there later once fo and te are at 80

    here's what i would personally use:

    http://pso2skillsimulator.com/simula...pz.5J0.7FP.6*0

    on fo side sp in photon flare, t-atk-up1/2, charge keep/rod save, rod shoot and fast talis are interchangeable depending if you like rods/p.flare and such

    can try and squeeze ice in there(maybe new dragon eq will need ice...), but normally fire is enough to mob with and gives you some buster quest capability

    on te side ditching shifta skills and t-atk-up1 can get you wind for a full mastery sub, but in my case i have extra skill trees so i opt out for some better mpa buffs(in case no te) and bit of atk on each tree

    optimal endgame for casting like most have said is to tailor multiple fo and te trees to a fi sub since it just got a good buff to stances and most single colors have enough spam techs now for taja rotations. te/fi can also smack really well, has raid boss color tech masteries and only needs 1 qliff wand to cast so thats why its preffered option right now, but anything fire/ice/zap related of course fo/fi will be chosen

    personally ill probably convert 3 fo and 3 te trees to have a maxed out fo/fi and te/fi for each color, but as you can see the biggest dilemma facing casters right now is why put in that much effort into something that will only end up not being as flexible as hero with 1 tree and 3 weps 1 of which you can buy

    Thanks for your answer, Selphea. I've noted that too. I'm currently playing a full T-ATK Talis-only HEro (which isn't optimal of course) and when I decided to use more Techniques (SaFoie Type-0, GiBarta, GiGrants Type-0, ...) to balance my lack of AOE, I realized the damage output was pretty good. But there's no way that lazy friend of mine could level up four Classes to 75 (S, R, T then the HEro itself) anytime soon.

    Thanks for the info, Zephyrion. The only thing I'm afraid of with that choice rather than going Fo/Te is to realized losing Element Conversion (with a 60 Dark Element Rod) to gain TEchter-main Boosts isn't worth it... which will obviously be the case.

    Thank you for your explanation, mr.chills. I will try to follow the way you advised. But you're totally right about the HEro flexibility, sadly. Let's hope the potential second part of EP5 Balance Changes will close the gap even more or else the HEro meta will never end.

    I think a nabarta type-0 tap opens up TAJA combos with single techs; it only costs the 10pp for activation (before taja pp save) and the extremely small amount of frames nabara 0 has if you only tap it.

    they really need to move dark/light/wind masteries onto the force tree somehow; and give techer something meaningful to replace those.

    the halloween talis is ok if you don't already have a good dark talis (austere/astra/zeinesis/quilphad), however you would need to have a really really good craft on concentrated gimegid, or use power-modded megid/samegid uncharged. even for baby's first dark talis, that seems like a bit of extra effort to put yourself through

    oh balls, the lumiholy talis is confirmed not to work with folmegion... seeeeega

    i second the idea of consolidating all the mastery skills onto fo
    then making charge time and pp cost being separate skills with compound cooldown reduction as a 3rd auxillary effect skill (maybe making them main class only)

    i think they should move element convert onto techer thus allowing fo to function optimally with 1 good rod and 1 good talis and put focus into fo optimizing for rainbow trees, giving them slack on their gear reqs.

    then te could optimize for rainbow gear but use 1 tree and can proxy said rainbow for e.convert with e-change ring. this would also let it have a casting specialization, making te/fo an actual thing and not just a compromise. even psycho drive would still work that way since its te-able

    just some rough thoughts and wishful thinking though

    @above
    I think losing ele masteries on Te will kill Fo/Te completely because then Te tree will only amount to 20% on EWH, which is literally less than Average Stance of all things. To a less extent, Te/Fi and Te/Br will be losing out a lot too, losing 10.7% damage (1.44 / 1.3) on their techs.

    I think what needs to go to Te is actually Talis Bonus. After all, Talis is actually a main weapon for Te too and is being neglected on the class. It can probably be even be Te main only, and Fo gets a 20% general multiplier to compensate.
    So compared to current FoTe:
    FoTe Rod is 20% stronger, Talis unaffected.
    TeFo Talis ~22% stronger, Rod ~2% stronger
    In essence, the tradeoff is Ele Con (30%) against Talis Bonus (20%) and Shifta Strike (10%). i.e. FoTe's has superior compound tech burst, but TeFo becomes the more consistently strong Tech spammer with access to Te main skills.

    TeFi and TeBr also gets to finally use Talis with Wand.
