Well, I normally hate asking others for help, because I don't want to become dependent on them, lol...but I'm really having a hard time coming up with the solution to this problem.
All right, so...recently, I've changed my tactics. When I started out, I used to have this setup (after a couple of revisions):
(My setup was a little different before Jan 12th, but this was what I wanted it to be once that day came.)
Rod (Healing Rod)
Wand/Card (Element #1)
Wand/Card (Element #2)
Wand/Card (Element #3, if it calls for it) or Bow (Usually ice)
Rod (Buffing Rod)
Rod (Debuffing Rod, with resta added on case someone's/I'm taking a beating)
But now I'm starting to do this:
Rod (Healing Rod)
Rod (#1)
Rod (#2)
Rod (#3) or Bow
Rod (Buffing Rod)
Rod (Debuffing Rod)
I'm starting to find it very handy to have all techs ready on me (I mean, I could spam dambarta or nosdiga all day, but I don't wanna be a Photon Charge addict). I can get past the wand-rod casting speed difference; I haven't been missing any targets lately.
There are 4 techs we still don't have. I'm only planning on getting 2, and those are Rentis and Dizas (a tech and physical barrier, respectively). When we get them is a different story seeing as how the JP don't even have these yet.
So, by now, I bet most of you are wondering, "what's the problem again?" Well, I have filled all my PA slots and I can no longer learn any new ones without erasing one. So if I want these two techs, I have to get rid of something. Simple answer would have to be get rid of my cards, since I'm not using them anymore. But, I was so eager to get that 115 ata just to use them. And, I put so much work went into leveling them. I don't want to throw away all that time and effort (especially since my ice cards are capped).
I've made a bunch of sacrifices, and I've never looked back. Here are techs, and bow bullets I've omitted: gibarta, gizonde, damdiga, ensei-sou (fire), jusei-sou (ground), and yousei-sou (light). Out of the Ultimate PAs, I've decided not to learn noszonde (although, I'm thinking about picking this one up and getting rid of my lightning bow...I'll have to see) and megiverse.
I would make a choice right now and stick to it until more techs come, but I don't know what the future will hold for us. We might have (more) melee/tech resistant enemies, and I'll be screwed because I got rid of my cards. I just remember how certain things in the past weren't that spectacular, and then new missions would come along and change everything (shoot, the new classes alone changed everything). It's really only 2 PAs, but that would be like...200 hours thrown down the drain (yeah I might be exaggerating, but you get what I mean).
I just don't wanna get rid of/not level something that I might need later on, to put that all in a nutshell.
I don't know...I know I have a LOT of time before I even have to seriously think about this decision, but I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the matter.
(Sorry for the long post, but I just wanna make sure I get everything out)
