Strongest class combinations/meta currently?

[Ryuhou]

Compounds share the same cooldown.

Speaking of CD, I really hope the compound gauge will be replaced by the cd cause I don't want to have to fill the gauge and also wait 2 minutes. Would certainly be useful for te and in EQs where a fo is zondeeling and others kill mobs so fast the fo can barely get a hit in.

Hatou was always there, same for tsukimi-gekka combos

Except that Hatou is extremely unreliable and loses to Sakura Endo in most situations and Tsukimi-Gekka also loses to Sakura Endo.
Not to mention hatou requires a specific relatively short range and tsukimi-gekka is point blank, so as I said, Katana was always late to the party and had trouble getting hits in before mobs and even some bosses died.

well, if you can fill the gauge in less than 2 minutes it shouldn't be a problem. unless the gauge doesn't charge until the cooldown is over, then it kinda blows

read the buffs/nerfs coming with Ep5 (scroll down a bit): http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-stati...p/#details-0-0
then decide what your gonna go for, something like BR/GU is gonna take a hit for example via CT power nerf and Chain Finish being Main Class only now
