Étoile Class Discussion

[Batty]

the more i keep trying out each weapon individually the more im convinced that there is no much real diference between them dmg/utility wise. Maybe thats what sega was trying to do? return to when the weapon choice didn't mattered?

for example, Hu's partizan, sword, wl. They all had diferent gameplays and where better than other in certain situations. But at the end any could get the job done.

im getting this feeling from Etoile, unlike Hr where they encouraged weapon shift, Etoile seem to be more focused on survival and support than actual weapon choice

Etoile is hunter but better and successor

Thats a good thing though, play with what you like and do good with it

Here's updated DPS chart

I found Radiant Sting > Distortion Pierce spam to be an effective dps but with the new dps charts im not certain anymore, i tried doing the same with distortion pierce edge cancel but i must be doing it wrong.

Etoile makes the stupid dragon less annoying to deal with his constant movement and i am very pleased by it

From what I heard
Tech Arts Count bonus lasts the next 3 PAs regardless of whether or not they're combo'd from different PAs, so you can do Radiant Sting then 3 distortion Pierce, instead of alternating. At least I think that's how it works.

Edge canceling doesn't seem worth the effort to be honest. The only time I do it is with vertical flow when I'm repositioning or avoiding something.

As I learn from these graphs DB's PAs have much lesser DPS than DS, but Connect's pretty hard.
So the goal is to use Connect as much as possible during a fight and not concentrate on PA DPS but on buinding gear fast for Connect.

ET movement option PA

Etoile is hunter but better and successor

Speaking of Et being a 'better' hunter, tried out Et as a subclass for Fi and surprisingly LB still restores you to full hp when it ends.

ET movement option PA

Upper-Left uses just too much PP
Bottom-Left WTF is this? Not much faster than normal running/DS slide
Upper and Bottom-Right use right now on my Lavis and Celestial GS battery, but it's a pain in the ass to swith a weapon with a lag sometimes.
And somebody told me to buy All-class Gurren katana, but there's same problem with switching.

Compared to crafted Safoie 0 and Ilzonde it's all noting T_T
