Hey! ;D
First time poster here, long time lurker. ;]
A little background;
I've followed PSU along for about..2~3 years now. However, it's been shaky and broken - i've had many internet problems before moving to Australia, so I played about 4months longest at most, before my net was disconnected/xbox broke/payment stopped.
This makes me, (in my opinion) semi-decent at understanding most PSU terms, ideas and solutions. I just can't solve my own right now.
Right now however, my net in Australia is perfect, I can keep up with paying for PSU -myself- now, and expect to be able to play 'till my fingers bleed. ;]
My problem!
Since moving to Australia I've had to get a new LIVE account - this meant my old lvl 5x Beast FF has been sent into oblivion. I made a new Beast FF with my best friend making a Newman FT. I've always had problems competing (In a sense) with him over exp and damage. It's friendly competing, and if he reads this I hope he's not offended - It's just that now we're getting serious together (I.e, not doing a million and one Linear Line's and De Ragnus C missions together) on some much harder missions, I'm beginning to see a giant shift in experience gaining and equality.
What I'm really saying is that I feel a lot weaker and less-'helpful' than he is. My attacks are close to his damage, but his Tech's just hit heaps faster, more effectively. This results in him killing things before I even get a touch on them, and it happens almost at every mob.
Right now I haven't been upfront with this. He knows it's a problem but we both haven't done much about it. I usually just get annoyed at it, and he'll stop abusing all the monsters so much whilst I just get a few kills, but it doesn't really sort anything. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to equal the exp/kills/effort from party?
We usually do a lot of B rank missions, mainly 20~25 monsters. Never more than us 2 in a party, and right now we're just after experience.
So far I've thought about;
Going into a lot-harder missions. Downside to this means higher Meseta usage?
Above, but with extra players. Downside would be that we're not anti-social, we just like sticking to ourselves.
Solo. Downside; Not..really fun just voice-chatting.
[Note; I've read through relevant guides and understand some simple things about my problem. I know that our classes 'clash', and that it's primarily my 'fault' this is happening.]
Thank you in advance;
Sanjo. ;]
[Edit: I already expect 'lolur nub go getz strngr n stop been a grl' posts. I'm not proposing this from the 'I want to be stronger than him' thing - I'm proposing this from the 'I want to have the same opportunities to fight with him'.]
