Foie or Diga

[ZeronechaosX]

I want to know overall which one is better. Damage wise over time should be included in your vote. I'm only going to choose to level up one of them so.

[Kylie]

I'd go for foie. Not only for looks, but I'd rather deal burn than silence (well, depends on the enemy, but for the most part).

[Anduril]

Diga gets a higher modifier, but launches in an arc. Foie is faster and goes in a straight line.

[Xefi]

go for diga.

[Katrina]

If I was forced to choose only one of the 2, i would have to go with Foie for the same reasons outlined above (straight line travel, slightly faster, burn s/e)

[Seority]

Do foie and save up for Nosdiga.
Bestest stuffs evah!

[MinervaEros]

I'm going with Foie

Burn is better than silence in most situations. The majority of mobs do not use techs.
Diga is slower (both in casting time and in how quickly it travels)
Diga goes in an arc, meaning its hard to hit closer enemies.

I wouldn't even use diga if there weren't so many Zonde-type enemies.

[stukasa]

Against bosses I'd say Diga. Bosses can't be burned and there are a bunch of fire element bosses, plus Diga does more damage.

In general I'd say Foie. It travels faster and causes burn, which can be really helpful against tech-resistant monsters. Its damage isn't QUITE as good as Diga but it's still pretty close, I think.

[Tita]

on topic off topic: are diga and foie really the only techs that havea lvl 4 se?
i would love a lvl 4 shock on my techer...

but yeah, foie rocks. works just about everywhere. you'll want diga in some cases though, where a straight line gets blocked and an arc reaches enemies while you stay safe.

[Packrat]

BOTH! >_>

Seriously, as some have mentioned, foie can be "better" but diga still does more damage when you need it (mobs that don't burn, weak to ground, bosses, etc). Both are very efficient on the PP and as must-haves as far as basic techs go..

[Akaimizu]

Foie and Diga remind of the age ol' good basics for all Magic or Tech users.

Simple, but highly effective.

Nothing says "No" like a good ol' Fireball or Rock to the face.

[zanotam]

Neither! I'd use zonde over those any day.

[Inazuma]

foie b/c i rarely ever use deega. nosudeega is better in most situations.

Dambarta has level 4 Freeze.

[Talise]

ah people have been talking about diga shooting in an arc, but this isn't really a disadvantage. It's an advantage because the height allows you to hit flying enemies on the "extra high" level. The slower travel path could be bad though. I'm not going to vote, because now your choice would have to depend on what other spells you're using. If you have damfoie or some then I think you can pick Diga, etc, etc...

[Flick]

really i'd go for both

but if i had to choose i'd choose diga the higher modifier is usefull and silence can be life saving occasionally, and as said above, on bosses which aren't affected by burn diga is eternally usefull

Dambarta gets SE4 at level 31+. According to the comparison chart (http://www.pso-world.com/items-psu-pa-comparison.php), Damdiga gets Poison SE4 at 31+. I don't see any other attack techs, besides Foie and Diga, that get SE 4 at levels 31 to 40.

[DreXxiN]

nosdiga or whips for bosses, otherwise foie

[Weeaboolits]

Diga's arc can be useful, it can sometime allow you to hit low flying enemies that foie can't reach.

[MrNomad]

Foie, but Nomad spanks naughty Fts that use only diga or foie during mission http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif!

[Talise]

that's because they never lvled their other spells so they sux -_-

[MrNomad]

No excuses! All naughty Fts will be spanked for their naughtiness 3=<

[chibiLegolas]

I prefer foie simply because it's faster and easier to hit enemies with.
Techs are meaningless if you have a harder time hitting with them. But that's just me.

Yep, once 40 zonde came out everyone prefers it. before AOI all I heard about zonde-techs was a bunch of bitching about leveling times.

[Weeaboolits]

I prefer foie, I'm waiting on the leveling boost to bother leveling most of my others, and I don't use zonde, as I'm using mostly the techs that resemble PSO ones most closely, because it's an amusing way to play and it makes no great difference anyway.

=0 random chucking slow diga=greater chance to hit fast random enemies than faster bolt of fire bein aimed while hopin said enemies stay in place/go the way you predicted =D

[Weeaboolits]

Either works fine if you stand close by, also foie does more damage to ground and ice enemies than diga does.

[ljkkjlcm9]

when I played AT the only attack techs I had leveled were Ramegid, Megid, and Diga.

Those were mostly for the SE as well. Confusion is awesome, and it hits groups of enemies. Diga was great for silencing those magic enemies that got annoying, and megid had the insta kill SE

otherwise I used my melee and cards and just healed/buffed

[Weeaboolits]

I've never really found confusion that useful, though I was applying it via Ank Bico, so maybe that's why.

from a distance it's great, especially on some of the medium/small enemies with techs. They'll attack eachother, and if a random tech they cast comes your way, it doesn't damage you.
