battle fomar

[Longinous]

Hello fellas I dusted off this game recently and I am playing my Fomar.

I was wandering if I was gearing him properly for my setup as a Melee type caster.

At the moment I am lvl 120 with the Oran ID here are my base stats:

926 ATP
559 DFP
774 MST
130 ATA
787 EVP
74 LCK

Just wandering if I need to adjust these any atm I am using a 1 god power/body and 2 god abilities. If I ever get lucky and get a god/battle that would be amazing but I don't even know if I can as an Oran.

For weapons I have a pretty big list of things available:
Durandal(15hit), Double Saber, Angry Fist, Soul Eater, Twin Chakram, G-Assassin's Sabers.
I have afew other but I think these are what I consider my best weapons, I mainly use the Angery Fist they have the highest dmg. Any suggestions on gear I should look into? I feel like I am doing ok but I am open to any suggestions, even if it is level another character just for a new ID if it is to hunt down another nice weapon =P

well thanks for any advise I will check back

[Ithildin]

That is a good question... In all honesty I have never been the biggest fan of melee type FOs. I would rather use a FO for what they are primarily good at, techs. However, here's my advice... Get some decent mechs. I've seen countless FOmars work well with them. Purplenum is the best ID to hunt those. A good pair of charge vulcans (with decent hit %, preferably 50%) should do the trick. Just make sure you carry plenty of meseta with you! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Jaspaller]

Charge Vulcans are great like Ithildin said. If you're willing to hunt for it try going for a Soul banish to replace your Soul Eater.

Well, as an Oran, you won't find much.

You have Double Saber, Twin Chakram, and Grass Assassin Sabers, which are all good weapons.

Other good weapons/items you should look into:

An easy find is the Elysion. (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=195&sortby=name) It's got built-in Foie for some ranged fighting (because Foie murders a lot of enemies.)

Other items include:
-Holy Ray (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=117&sortby=name)
-Rainbow Baton (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=579&sortby=name)
-Red Saber (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=179&sortby=name)
-Soul Banish (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=72&sortby=name)
-God/Arm (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=147&sortby=name)
-Regen Gear Adv. (http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=459&sortby=name)

Hope I helped.

As stated before, Red Saber is worth looking into as well as a good pair of mechs.

[Hopesbane]

Things with Hit. If you can't get enough Hit to actually connect with the enemies, than going melee is pretty pointless. Suggestions are Red Saber, Angry Fist, Rainbow Baton, various types of mechgun, and really anything on this page:

I have some noce mechs I was listing melee weapons tho http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

If I got lucky enough to get a weapon with 50 hit I would be a ery happy camper. I would love a soul banish tho, my soul eater cracks stuff for 800+ dmg when I use special but its dangerous lol. I actualy have several elisions, they keep droppin well for me lol, it is nice but I wish it hit harder. One thing I wish is that FOs could use the Delsaber Shield since we can already use the sword I use delsaber combo over lavis cannon atm.

Well I guess I will go see what I need to farm a Soul Banish because that would be fantastic, god/arm be nice aswell.

I have yet to go farther then forset on ultimate as a melee since casting AoEs seem much easier with all the groups in those places but if I got some stronger armor and a Soul Banish I would feel more comfortable.

Thanks again guys will do some research alil more.

i hate charge mechs so much, they waste all your money so fast its retarted. i couldnt care less if i kill stuff a bit faster, i kill in 1 combo with my sange and yasha anyway, and my friend with his guld milla.

er, he's a FOmar...good luck equipping guld milla or S&Y.

Charge mechs are very useful and a clutch weapon. Secretgear, believe it or not, is stronger then most of the sheilds that you can find on GC. I would reccomend leveling up a redria characters since it can find things invaluable for all your characters, especially a god/battle. it also can find a magic stone iritista which makes a fucking awesome slicer.

edit: if you feel lucky I suggest hunting a devil/battle from del-d in ruins.

In addition to finding weps with hit% make sure your ATA is maxed out with a God/Arm as well. Even with 50% hit on your weapons you can still spend a lot of time attacking nothing but air come ep2. But for the record 120 is a great time to start experimenting with FOmar.

[Longinous]

have secret gear and I also got lucky otherday and sacred cloth dropped. It is ashame tho that FOs can not use Delsaber buster and shield sick combo...

I would love a soul banish but I think I will work on leveling my ranger high enough to get that another time.

i was just stating how much i hate charge mechs, and maybe he would too. im not an idiot i know he cant use them.

Charge mechs are very useful and a clutch weapon.well if you're trying to raise multiples of every single mag in the game, screw anything charge.

i like mechs but i dont consider them a melee weapon =P

[Jaspaller]

Mechs are a FOmar's best friend. Eventually money will mean nothing if you do lots of quests and Pickup/sell most (if not all) of the items you pick up. Fluids you can usually find on the ground and all that, and you'll be too busy doing melee attacks to have to worry about draining your TP down fast.

[Ithildin]

^ I have to agree... I know mechs are not strictly melee weapons but you have to get close enough to enemies to use them. It all depends how you play. If you play as part of a group then I really don't see the need for a melee type FO and really you will be wasting your time and efforts. If you solo however, mechs are still your best type of weapon if you want to get up close and personal. FOmars also have that other advantage of course... unequip your weapon and cast spells so much quicker than any other race.

[Longinous]

well like i said (i think I said) I really only do melee in forest for fun and yes I like mechs... but this is more a topic about melee weapons. But thanks input, I have nothing against mechs but I am more curious about melee weapons which prolly wont go deeper then forest unless I lvl my ramar and hunt for a soul banish (sigh).

Mainly curious because aside from actual techs I have some great caster gear, 2 god/minds and god/abilities aswell as Psycho and scorcerer's wand/staffs (whatever they called) and a bunch of other items good for boosting spell dmg.

[ThEoRy]

i played a melee FOmar extensively, and I'm not sure if you could ever find these but my favorite weapons would have to be for range, c-bringers rifle, red handgun and Holy Ray, for melee, a red slicer,ancient sabre or a red saber,and a twin chakram for that pan arms feel that they stole from me.

[Hopesbane]

Using weaponry is more effective in teams. Why? Tech spamming cancels horribly, and will actually slow down the team. Not to mention the horrible, horrible tech damage done by Forces online anyway. >_>

[Nidramag]

my original katz was a FOmar purplenum battle-type (not necessarily pure melee or pure tech) and i picked up some nice mechs from that, combining his finds withmy current katz (FOmar, Redria) is pretty kickass :

M&A60 VISE 60h
CUSTOM FRAME 4 slots (i have a sacred cloth with 4 slots http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif )
-God/Battle
-God/Body
-God/Mind
-God/Power
SECRET GEAR
PANZER'S TAIL

I only wear my God/Arm(s) in certain situations though

found everything myself, too.
http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
but with eaither wep or tech im doing pretty well
and a Redria for a God/Battle is wayy worth it
