Balance Patch 2: Electric Boogaloo

like maybe have force get a main-class skill that causes them to ignore elemental resistances and weaknesses altogether, and it gives minor power boost. then have techer get an main-class-only elemental weak hit Plus that does something a little extra on top of damage.

Funny you mention this; in Phantasy Star Nova, they had the pretty novel idea to arm Force with Skills that would inflict debuffs on enemies when you hit them with a melee attack that make them weak to an element; for example, you could equip a Skill that has a chance to make the target weak to Fire when you hit it with a melee attack. This made Element Weak Hit (and its Element Weak Strike and Element Weak Shoot counterparts) extremely potent because on mooks, you can just force the target to be weak to the element of your choice, then start hammering it with Techs.

That's actually pretty neat they could probably bring something like this to the game by making it a ring.

There's a crapton of things in nova that would have made pso2 class design much less shit.

*cough* Skill Board

cant wait to not lose out in millions of damage just because i need to turn on 4 actives at once.

Cruel throw? SO PAs are being rework again too?

no they just forgot cruel throw existed in the last batch; this is the only PA getting anything done to it this update

[MightyHarken]

I wish they added a sort of finisher PA for sword users. Over End feels so useless at times, compared to nova strike or rising edge. Imagine having a charge PA for hunter that dishes out a single enemy power stab that hits for 7000% power and is spammable.

Oh, I can't see any info on it. power buff or something more intresting?

Nova is so good for a portable game, sometimes it even looks better than PSO2. Tri ace really should make their own MMO. I mean: they usually have good combat and graphx even with very limited hardware. Story often sucks, but that's not crucial for an online game.

they are making the light orb you grab when you hit something ungrabbable actually deal the full damage, instead of almost no damage at all

also according to swiki it's getting a 1.35x damage boost, I assume somebody reverse-engineered the numbers that popped up when they used it in the trailer.

that power boost will put it on par or better than most of sword's current single-target options I think
