Only certain LA are loop type. For LA with short duration, it's not possible unless using macro program.

[Achelousaurus]

Which damage types does Warbrave boost?
Only striking or also ranged?

[IndigoNovember]

What do you mean use a proxy? Also I'm using a PSO tweaker.

Look up cyberkitsune's proxy. Again, this is only if you can't connect to PSO2 normally.


Which damage types does Warbrave boost?
Only striking or also ranged?

Should be all types.

[Sp-24]

Which damage types does Warbrave boost?
Only striking or also ranged?
War Brave's description doesn't mention any details whatsoever, just a generic damage boost. The way descriptions work in PSO2, this implies bonus to all damage types.

[LonelyGaruga]

I was hoping for a comprehensive response outlining the pro/con's of each of those PB's :|

Only PBs I ever see used are Ketos Proi, Julius Nifta, and Ilios Proi. Ketos for PP regen (extremely effective if your class has excellent PP dump damage), Julius Nifta for mobs (huge suction and damage), and Ilios Proi for bosses.

I don't think any other PBs are really worth looking at.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Could someone possibly explain to me the pros n cons of using TE or FO as a main?

Debatin to see what I'd like to make my other char. I understand they both specialize in certain elements and FO uses Rods opposed to TE that uses wands but other than that don't know much in terms of comparison. And I suppose what are ideals subs for them......

[Achelousaurus]

Fo has elemental conversion as main only, which is a good dmg boost.
Te main only has shifta strike and deband toughness for casting.

Or you want to go melee te, but then you should sub hu or fi anyway.

[LonelyGaruga]

Could someone possibly explain to me the pros n cons of using TE or FO as a main?

Force is primarily tech usage and does better than any other class for any tech when mained. If you want to use techs, use Force. Techer's tech usage is inferior but still usable, but there's no point in maining Techer if you want to use techs. Techer's advantage is wand usage, which are basically melee weapons that can use techs too. Their basic attacks are strictly superior to any other melee weapon, but are also their only melee option. Very consistent damage, but lacking in range, which is where techs come in, to cover what the melee can't.

Basically, they're not comparable. Force is a tech class, Techer is a melee class that can use techs to a lesser extent.

As far as subclasses, Fi/Te/Br for Force, Hu/Fi/Br for Techer.

Fo isn't Rod, but Tali, with the element conversion and Tali skill, and with Te as a sub, you get light/dark/wind depending on your skill

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Hmm? How does /BR benefit FO? Out of curiosity

Weak Stance, Banish Arrow, Asagiri dashing, Combat Finish. S-ATK Up 1 for equipping Elysion without requiring S-ATK on mag too, I guess.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Weak Stance, Banish Arrow, Asagiri dashing, Combat Finish. S-ATK Up 1 for equipping Elysion without requiring S-ATK on mag too, I guess. ah....so I'd assume by normal circumstances you couldnt use Elysion on FO/TE w/o mag being involved. Would you use elysion on FO? If not what's ideal rod?

[Rakurai]

If you want to get the most out of FO, you should have a rod for each element (Though there isn't one that's good for wind at the moment).

Alternatively, you could shoot for getting the new 11* bow that has the Ancient Oath latent, which has perfect synergy with Weak Stance.

[gigawuts]

ah....so I'd assume by normal circumstances you couldnt use Elysion on FO/TE w/o mag being involved. Would you use elysion on FO? If not what's ideal rod?

The only elysion-capable class combination that lacks satk up is fo/ra and fo/gu. Everything else has satk up. It might cost you a few SP somewhere else on some classes, but certain classes (like Braver) have spare SP to throw into satk up.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Ah yes.....FO revolves around having Rainbow weps.....hmmmmm so much for saving money haha

[LonelyGaruga]

ah....so I'd assume by normal circumstances you couldnt use Elysion on FO/TE w/o mag being involved. Would you use elysion on FO? If not what's ideal rod?

Yes, Force has S-ATK as such a low stat that only male Deuman can use Elysion as a Force normally (females can if they sub Fighter, but not as /Te or /Br). So you need either points in the mag or S-ATK Up 1 for everyone else.

Elysion is extremely useful for some techs that can be used viably uncharged. But ideally, you would use Elysions with matching element for those uncharged techs as well as Rods for each element and a Talis for each element. Hunter latents are good too. But using just one weapon is inefficient.

[Sizustar]

If using a Fo, Tali offers more attack with the skill

[LonelyGaruga]

Talis isn't exclusively better for the higher damage. Talis throws offer slower JAs, can't be used for enemies at close range, has poor TPS compatibility for aiming techs, and can't be used for close range Zondeels > AoE combos. If we were talking purely about numbers, sure, Talis are better, but that's not the case here. You should get both.

[Skyly]

If using a Fo, Tali offers more attack with the skill

1. For a fire build would it be better to use a rod or a talis as Fo/Te? Answerd.. Get both.
2. The Bert Rodan is the fire rod and the fire talis is the Koushousen.
3. Are all fire techs easily useable with the talis?
4. Could someone post a video displaying Fo/Te mobbing and bossing?

[Oobershire]

Is there an ideal element to specialize in for FO? I remember when the last time i touched it people usually mained Lightning and Ice was mediocre lol

[Kondibon]

Is there an ideal element to specialize in for FO? I remember when the last time i touched it people usually mained Lightning and Ice was mediocre lolIf you're only gonna pick one, I hear fire is good. Pretty sure you can get fire and ice together though.

3. Are all fire techs easily useable with the talis?
4. Could someone post a video displaying Fo/Te mobbing and bossing?

Besides Foie and Nafoie, there should be no trouble using Fire techs off a Talis. Talis offers poor TPS aiming for Foie, and Nafoie drops straight down off a Talis, so you have to throw it over the target to drop the fireball onto them. In some ways, Talis Nafoie can be more usable (such as dropping it on De Malmoth's weak point), but it's definitely impractical to use compared to with a Rod.

Safoie actually gains usability off a Talis, as it will sweep in the direction it's being aimed at, unlike using it with other weapons, where the tech always hits the same area in front of you.

Though, fire tech charge times mean that you have to throw a Talis bit out more frequently than with other techs, due to only lasting for four casts at most.

I can't help with 4, but searching on Niconico should be useful.

@Dark Emerald EXE: Fire is best right now. But it would be better to get multiple skill trees if you can.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

If you're only gonna pick one, I hear fire is good. Pretty sure you can get fire and ice together though.

Figured the tree was still set where you could only specialize in 1 effectively

[Kondibon]

Figured the tree was still set where you could only specialize in 1 effectively
This is the tree I had in mind (http://pso2-skill.pwnedgalaxy.net/skillcalc.php?08fbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIk0 jdodBIb00000000jdoIn0000008doib0000006do000000lobs iNdsGBIklkGAIkIk00000ioIn0000000lbIo000000fdoIb000 000f). You could probably squeeze some more damage out of tech Ja and tech up 2 if you only want to focus on one element though.

Again, I hear fire is a good all purpose element.

[Nihility]

Anyone else not able to use Google Chrome while pso2 is running?

I can use it just fine. Not sure what issue you might be running into though.

[Cure Shock]

I tried to give a 10* to my friend recently. We're both prem, but it seems I can't see it during trading and I can't give it to him (it's unlocked too). So we moved to Team Room and I tried to deposit it in Team Storage, but nothing. So I guess you can't trade 10* or something?

[KazukiQZ]

^Yes. You can only trade 10* (and 11* too) via player shop. Even then, your friend need to have 10* weapon pass, obtainable from Recycle Shop.

SInce both of you are premium, this step should be easy:

1. Your friend use junk 10* weapon, and turn it to pass
2. You put the desired weapon on shop (and put a price tag), and your friend instantly search your shop shortly after that.
3. Buy and done! :3

[sol_trigger]

do i need to learn the skill "flash guard" to be able to do a just guard ?

[Neith]

do i need to learn the skill "flash guard" to be able to do a just guard ?

No, you need 'Just Guard' (on Hunter skill tree). Flash Guard is a passive skill that has a chance of reducing damage. If you learn Just Guard you'll be able to do a timed block that negates damage and bounces some of it back on the enemy. You need to time it just as the enemy hits you though.

[Kondibon]

Just guard (and just counter, which lets you JA right after a just guard) are both unlocked by default.

Flash guard was changed. It always has a 100% chance to activate and leveling it increases the damage reduction instead. Like Neith said though, it's unrelated to just guarding.

So I have a lot of questions about the fighter class:

1. With Tech Arts JA Bonus at max lvl, how long is the duration? Like once I get the bonus does my atk power stay increased for a couple of seconds? Or is it only applied for immediate skill use? I.E If I use PA A > PA B (1st time) > B (2nd time) does my Tech Arts JA Bonus from going from PA B > B again immediately go away?


2. I practically only play with my friends in PSO2. Right now I'm only a low level, but I find myself often fighting the bosses at their backs (I like to think it is safer at the back and I can avoid being hit more often here). Is this just a newbie thing or is it in parties (with people who are long ranged,) do Fighters just not hold Aggro?

If that's the case, should I just invest into wise stance?


Edit: Thanks Kondibon

3. The skill Crazy Heart only works when under a status condition. How often does this even happen? Is it possible to give myself a status effect intentionally without the use of another monster/player?

4. Chase advance only works when monsters are under status conditions. Is afflicting status effects on boss monsters hard or even likely to begin with to make the skill worthwhile? Or am I better off just dumping skillpoints into Striking up or Critical passives?

Thanks in advance, your help is always appreciated! :D

I think you don't have much to fear to be honest. Last I checked, PSO2 was one of the more successful MMOs in Japan. Will it end? At some point, yeah. But SEGA wants this to be another PSO, so they won't want it ending anytime soon.

It will not be open and you'd need to spend 500 AC to reopen it. The only time you can remake is if you delete a character with only 2 or less to start with since you have 2 slots for free. Also note that deleting a character you made 1st or 2nd does NOT give you back a free slot. So yeah.

You buy characters, not character slots. If you delete said character, you gotta fork up another 500AC. You can only have 2 free characters. I also recommend not deleting old characters either if you bought new ones. Principle works the same way: only two freebies allowed.

Thanks for the info. As for the weapon, I think I'll sale this and keep going with my Esca Hermes which could be debated as the best Force weapon in the game if you go for elemental weakness.

EDIT: That was an easy 5 000 000

[LonelyGaruga]

Esca Hermes is really average as far as Rods go lmao. You should keep the Nepto Rod, rainbow Rod setups are far more effective than just one, and Nepto is one of the best for Ice.

EDIT: Why did you sell that. Get another one.

Esca Hermes is really average as far as Rods go lmao. You should keep the Nepto Rod, rainbow Rod setups are far more effective than just one, and Nepto is one of the best for Ice.

Once you get Discerning Eye at Lv3 and use the proper elemental weakness against the enemies, you get better damage than the Boosted Techniques at 16% Weapons, I know, I tried it.

-I bought a couple of Divine Amaterasu
-Used one on top of the other to get 50 Light Attribute
-Unlocked it's Lv3 potential (all of those Sphere that we got last update lost market value, so 12 was no big sacrifice)
-I grinded it back to 10 after getting Lv3
-I compared this new weapon with my Esca Hermes in the Ruins (neither had any sort of attack boosting abilities)

Divine Amaterasu has 59 less T-Attack power, but even if they were equal, my Esca Hermes still would have kicked it's ass. The average damage for the same type of darker with my Esca Hermes was 5900 and with the Divine Amaterasu, 5100.

[LonelyGaruga]

That makes no sense. 8% more damage is way more than 59 T-ATK. You did something wrong.

Esca Hermes has way less T-ATK than most 16% rods right now anyway, Divine Amaterasu is outclassed by Caduceus, and Nepto Rod is one of those rods with higher T-ATK than Esca Hermes. Either way, Esca Hermes is a very average Rod right now. Average T-ATK, average potential.

Do you know the hidden Lv3 potential Esca Hermes? It's Elemental Weakness, this increases the weakness (or boost the tech, which ever way you want to see it) if you use the proper weakness on an enemy. Obviously, this would have no impact on creatures without an elemental weakness, but considering there's only a few of these in the games, no big deal.

Hey, if you have some cash and spheres to spare, give a it a try, math doesn't lie. Hell, even if the power was equal or even a bit better, this still wouldn't justify having to grind and unlock the potential of 6 weapons just to have a fancy rainbow pallet.

Hell, even if the power was equal or even a bit better, this still wouldn't justify having to grind and unlock the potential of 6 weapons just to have a fancy rainbow pallet.Except then you don't get the full bonus from element conversion.

[the_importer_]

Except then you don't get the full bonus from element conversion.

That's very true, but then again, you normally only need 2 elements in any given field (unless you count the Toy Darkers in Shironia) and it boils down to these 5 combos:

Fire + Light: Native + Darkers
Fire + Dark: Insect Darkers (2nd weakness) + Sactum Dragons/Titans
Ice + Light: Cave Dragons/Oceanids + Darkers
Bolt + Light: Mechs + Darkers
Bolt + Dark: Aquatic Darkers (2nd weakness) + Sky Dragons

I have 3 trees for my Force and 3 for my Techer, each of them have an elemental mastery. Using the new 10 preset feature with the EP3 update, I'm now able to switch my trees to one of these presets in seconds.

On that note, goodnight, very late here.

Here's the numbers on Divine Staff Amaterasu vs Esca Hermes. Here's (http://pso2-skill.pwnedgalaxy.net/skillcalc.php?08uDbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIkbsIk jdt8dodBIb00000000jdoIn0000008doib0000006do000000l obsfHn2SGA2XIk000000ioInfcKfdnGAqBIkIxGA2N00000lbI o000000fdoIb000000f) the build I'll be using.

Tech formula = (T-ATK - T-DEF) / 5 * Elemental Hitzone * tech modifier * skill modifiers (potential, class skills, JA, etc)

Example T-DEF will be 250, elemental hitzone will be 1.2x (standard for enemies with two weaknesses), tech modifier will be Ragrants. Affixes will be assumed to be +60, 50 Light element, Shifta bonuses will be ignored, Just Attack and Photon Flare will be applied.

Esca Hermes: (2847 - 250) / 5 * 1.2 * 11.68 * 4.03 = 29,388 (5877 per hit)
Divine Staff Amaterasu: (2788 - 250) / 5 * 1.2 * 11.68 * 4.32 = 30,734 (6146 per hit)

The difference gets higher the more ATK you add, so Shifta, Shifta Drink, and better affixes would make the difference larger. With the numbers provided, Divine Amaterasu is 5% stronger than Esca Hermes.

You should be using Caduceus anyway for this.

Caduceus: (2905 - 250) / 5 * 1.2 * 11.68 * 4.32 = 32,151 (6430 per hit)

9% stronger than Esca Hermes, 5% stronger than Divine Amaterasu.

A full rainbow palette is the most optimal way to play Force. That is fact. You don't have to min-max, but Esca Hermes is still far from being the best at anything.

I can't say anything about Cadueceux because I have not tried it, but like I said before, I tried Divine Amaterasu and my results were not the same as yours. I've spent about 20 minutes hunting Dahgash in the ruins and the end results were the same with every one of them.

So I don't know what else to tell you man, maybe there's something off in your numbers (don't know the source you're used, perhaps their info is not up to date). Maybe it would help if I gave you the trees I used back when I tried this and also inform you that my subclass is Techer: http://pso2skillsimulator.com/simulator/?code=26H.2bE.2dg.2gl.2hX.2jI.2rM.2to.2v0.2Zz.3*10-4Ld.4RM.4Tl.4Y9.4ZQ.5jc.5kO.5J0.6*10

Still, even if your numbers would have been the results I've gotten, the difference is minor IMPOV. Such a little amount would never mean the difference between life and death for me and as mentioned earlier, would not justify having to grind 6 weapons 40 times and spending 12 spheres a pop, not to mention all the stress spent behind having to deal with Dudu.

EDIT: I still like your formula however and even if it was off for me by like 1000, it could still prove useful in getting a general idea for attacks. That being said, could you elaborate on the "skill modifiers" and explain to me how my Esca Hermes got 4.03 and the other 4.32? Thanks

[Hatsodoom]

Ok, the wording on Element Stance has me confused. What attacks does the stance apply to?

[Rien]

ALL THE ATTACKS.

As long as the element matches.

[『 』]

Thanks for the info. As for the weapon, I think I'll sale this and keep going with my Esca Hermes which could be debated as the best Force weapon in the game if you go for elemental weakness.

EDIT: That was an easy 5 000 000

I lol'd at that "best force weapon" part pretty hard. The rest of the response is in line with the fact that you have the capacity to buy weapons and have multiple trees, yet still waste meseta on things I would just excube.

"go for elemental weakness" = rainbow set
If you do rainbow set, Hermes pales in comparison to most weapons.

If you do not do rainbow set, one normally would focus, meaning specific weapons/trees for 1 or 2 element.
I have sets for dark fo/te and fire set fo/br. Works so well that I do not even care about the others, focused ice/lightning/light/wind builds for almost all situations can go screw themselves in the current state of the game.

If your just doing one universal weapon for multiple trees while not caring about losing damage, then bio/autumn rod/talis better than that weapon. Pick the element you mess around with the most, attribute grind, done.

Hell, even the bow I use for fire fo/br on my fun character is better than that rod, and it lets me step anytime + ja occasional banish arrow between my endless fire tech spams lolz.

Just testing damage does nothing if you didn't check all the variables. Light PSE, Shifta, different weak points, whether the enemies had a Deband effect on them or not, those kinds of things. Regardless of what you did, the damage formula I provided is the same one that has been in the game ever since it started. Divine Amaterasu is mathematically better than Esca Hermes. You can check the formula here (http://phantasystaronline2.net/%E3%83%80%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E8%A8%88%E7%A E%97).

I need more information than just your build to accurately use the formula. Race, affixes, mag stats, tech(s) used, and unit bonus please.

Skill modifiers are all the multipliers involved.

Shared: Just Attack (1.3x), Element Conversion (1.25x), Tech JA Advance (1.1x), Tech Charge Advance 1 & 2 (1.21x, or 1.1x twice), Light Mastery 1 & 2 (1.44x, or 1.2x twice), Element Weak Hit (1.2x) = 3.73x
Esca Hermes: Discerning Eye (1.08x) = 4.03x
Divine Staff Amaterasu: Lunar Deity (1.16x) = 4.32x

I can't say you're wrong for not wanting to put in the effort for a rainbow palette, since there are pros and cons to both, but you forfeit any right to discuss what's good and what isn't with that decision. It values ease of acquisition and low costs over effectiveness, which defeats the point of discussing what is best.

[sol_trigger]

is there any point for using kanzan-nadeshiko ? i mean, sakura-endo doest almost the same dmg but faster casting time

[horseship]

Kazan has much more range compared to sakura, which makes it useful for taking out large groups of mobs. It's still quite slow though, so the only time you'd use it over kanran is if you really needed the power.

プロテクトルバンテージ (Protector Bandage) is the accessory released with it. As for the hairstyle, they used Argon Wolf for the pre-designed character, but other hairstyles should work fine too.

[Selphea]

How do I lock on to Apos Dorios' belly? Tab seems to cycle between his hands and extra heads and Q never hits it. Right now I'm using Q from the side to lock on to its body and then going back to the front to hope for lucky hits.

[Evangelion X.XX]

＾I seriously don't think you can lock-on to Apos Dorios' belly. You have to go into TPS mode to apply WB's (or Banish Arrow ----> Final/Last Nemesis, Technics, etc.) on his belly manually.

And when you have destroyed the 4 pillars, which stuns him to the ground, you have to climb on top of him (which can be a serious pain), go into TPS mode, and apply WB on his belly from the top.

I was hoping for an actual helmet. So far, none of the ones currently released will work for what I'm gunning for; the closest would be the Ior Mail's matching helmet, except it turns your face in to a bird.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Well a Light PSE would have works in favor for both weapons, I was hitting the enemies in the same spot and I was not using Shifta. That being said, if you're telling me that enemies can somehow use deband on themselves, then I have to admit that this is news to me and if this is true, then my test would be voided.

You can lock on after he falls down from destroying pillars, and it stays locked as long as you keep it in range, but yea, no idea how/if its belly can be locked onto before that.

Light PSE expiring or leveling up between switching weapons would invalidate the results. It would technically affect them equally (the difference wouldn't really matter), but if it leveled up or expired then the difference would be massive. Putting all variables equally, like I did with my damage calculation, Divine Staff Amaterasu is superior to Esca Hermes for light tech damage.

The pillars in Ruins can apply a Shifta + Deband effect to darkers. The enemies themselves cannot apply it to themselves.

Apos Dorios stuff: Just TPS if you want to aim at its face.

[the_importer_]

The pillars in Ruins can apply a Shifta + Deband effect to darkers. The enemies themselves cannot apply it to themselves.

Damn, I thought these things were just there to annoy me. Oh well, most of the enemies I attacked were in the dark pillar zone and I never bothered killing the red spots to make it a clean zone. I'm guessing when they turn themselves on and off that it would void my testing.

Still gonna stick with my Esca Hermes mainly because of the trouble of a rainbow pallet and the little difference it would make, but still, at lease it clears things up. Thanks for the info.

[branflakes325]

I would like to know if max crafts are possible to achieve without 10%s or 30%s. I assume they're possible, but I would like to know for sure before investing a buttload of money into crafts.

[Schubalts]

You can lock on after he falls down from destroying pillars, and it stays locked as long as you keep it in range, but yea, no idea how/if its belly can be locked onto before that.

You can lock onto its main body, which will make your attacks hit the core/belly if you're standing in front of it. You can't lock onto the core itself until after it gets knocked down, though.

Best to wait for everyone to be in the boss room before fighting the boss.

Also, if we're farming bosses, how much more significant are the drop rates when they are infected/rare version instead of regular?

Seeing as we have +100% rare enemy boost now, it might be better to just ignore regular versions?

[Tetsuo9999]

Is there any concrete information on how much the level 2 and 3 potential increases the gear accumulation rate on the Meteor Cudgel? Level 1 is a significant increase, but I won't bother upgrading it further if it's only going to increase it a little bit.

Oh, I wondered what you meant by max craft with 10% or 30% being possible in your re-post, I thought it was weapon related.

10% merit/demerit never worked for pp related portion of recipe for me in the past when tech craft came out, even if you could get -1 to -10pp with foie or gibarta, because Sega saying no to freebies from Fun scratch and 100% knowing their FO players would rush those 1st.

Don't have exact numbers, but they're definitely notable. But not high enough to warrant skipping bosses with how quickly they die.

The boost week is over anyway, so back to the standard rare enemy encounter rate after maintenance.

So does that mean -12 PP without using any merit items is impossible? Or just very unlikely?

I assume 10%s don't work because the value rounds down. Regardless, it's irrelevant because they don't work.

Since we're getting the new story for EP3 with this update, I'm guessing we'll also be getting the new matter board well.

For those of you who've been playing for over 2 years now, here are some questions.

Was it like this for EP1 and EP2, did you get the areas, story quests and matter board gradually or did you get them in one shot for both episodes?

Also, when I started back in April, the Level cap was 65 and about a month later, it was increased to 70 and has stayed that way since then? Was the level cap always this slow or has it recently stopped?

I think it's clear that the cap will be 100, but by then, will it matter? Even I'm starting to find the game easier on SHard and I'm playing as Fo/Te with neither class capped. Enemies that use to chew me up and toss me around like the bathers and just slightly annoying now. Only thing that seems to kill me now are barrages of projectile weapons, probably due to lower R-Defense.

I know we're getting Ultimate soon, but since it will be a quest and not a new difficultly, it will probably get old fast.

Okay, I apologize if I offended the good players leveling up alternate characters because level (and gear? you just need about enough to clear out the mobs. AIS will take care of the bosses.) doesn't actually matter in TD3, but knowledge and skill.

And I saw questions about EXP nerfs right off the bat.

So no.

Also, would anybody give me a hint if this potential is worthwhile at all? Would I'll be able to even tell the difference after unlocking it?
PP restoration and attack PP restoration are different things. No idea what were the potentials translated to in the English patch, but I assume that it's the one that only affects the regular recovery over time.

PP restoration on such weapons is kinda noticeable if you're a Charge Revival Force, but not sure if it helps other classes much. Of course, using a weapon with a PP-recovering latent means that you aren't using one with a damage boosting one, so enjoy getting blacklisted in TDs.

[UnLucky]

I just love how people want to report you to sega for not playing in their ways. the English part aside, how can you report someone for the way he plays the game? I mean sure I like my TD3s to go well too but seriously reporting someone to get banned because he doesn't play like a group of people wants? That's a new low.
Reasonable case for griefing.

[Ce'Nedra]

Reasonable case for griefing.

I'm afraid I don't get what you mean with that.

[Rakurai]

Has anyone else been getting ridiculous amounts of lag while playing recently?

I thought it had something to do with the public proxy, but AIDA mentioned that even people who aren't using it are having issues.

[UnLucky]

I'm afraid I don't get what you mean with that.
Even ignoring the post content, intentionally detracting others' experience is the definition of griefing.

"sol trigger's subclass has reached level 21" is going to raise some flags, even if he says nothing in chat. Underleveled, undergeared, or inexperienced players are detrimental to the MPA's success, so willingly bringing any of that to SH TD is sabotage, plain and simple.

Blame Sega for allowing it to be possible in the first place, but it's still a community rule not to leech at everyone else's expense.

Obviously it's because you keep searching up player IDs at the visiphone.

And interacting with objects in the lobby.

Or starting up missions.

Please refrain from such actions that might excessively tax the game server(s).

[Rakurai]

I think I'll just try to avoid playing in the later hours of the day when all the Japanese players are on for now.

I'd presume that's probably when all the lag kicks in.

I doubt that SEGA, or even any game companies for that matter, goes around and ban people for not being good. This is just a case of elite (or wannabe elite) players being whiny little bitches.

Well yes of course, I agree with it that stuff like that ruins runs but I still find it rather childish over a game to attempt to get people banned just because they might potentially (most likely) ruins an EQ. I guess blacklisting doesn't really help preventing them to enter your MPAs unless all 11 others have him blacklisted?

Then again you can also blame sega for making this game way to easy in the beginning. Reaching SH is so easy now people just have no skills or experience with the game anymore at all :| Gear is just a laziness factor cause even without prem you can cheaply buy very powerful 9* weapons and the 8/9* variations of unit sets like Gloam and Primula etc.

As much as you would try you just can't prevent this stuff ever from happening I'm afraid. Lately however it seems lag is more of a cause of failing runs. Last time I ran in JP time we had a nice MPA but due to lag stuff still went downhill fast, suicidal wave of golds after a wave finished because of lag and then nuke half a tower ain't funny.

Edit: Maybe sega should implement a minimum Subclass level to some EQs like TD3. I know levels don't say a lot but a 60/60+ should technically know better what to do then a 55/21, at least in terms of what their class can do for them. Still you get them in all kinds and shapes so levels don't mean that much but it might help a bit.

Well, the list or Show thread is just a thread where player post info on players that from light offense of leeching, to heavy offense of scamming, and those are generally put on black list, for the major guild etc, And actually banning, I've only seen some scammer and majority of RMTer getting banned, but haven't heard of any one getting banned for leeching yet.

I can understand if its scamming or RMTing but leeching in itself isn't something you should get banned for. Blacklisted and spit out by communities however is a normal occurrence of course :P

[LonelyGaruga]

Since we're getting the new story for EP3 with this update, I'm guessing we'll also be getting the new matter board well.

For those of you who've been playing for over 2 years now, here are some questions.

Was it like this for EP1 and EP2, did you get the areas, story quests and matter board gradually or did you get them in one shot for both episodes?

Also, when I started back in April, the Level cap was 65 and about a month later, it was increased to 70 and has stayed that way since then? Was the level cap always this slow or has it recently stopped?

I think it's clear that the cap will be 100, but by then, will it matter? Even I'm starting to find the game easier on SHard and I'm playing as Fo/Te with neither class capped. Enemies that use to chew me up and toss me around like the bathers and just slightly annoying now. Only thing that seems to kill me now are barrages of projectile weapons, probably due to lower R-Defense.

I know we're getting Ultimate soon, but since it will be a quest and not a new difficultly, it will probably get old fast.

Yes, new story quest is coming up with the next update.

It's a gradual process, always.

The level cap raises are always slow. The game started at 30 and is now 70 after two years. SH is a little over a year old now and the level cap became 65 with its release. Sakai said he intended for PSO2 to last 10 years, and even at 10 levels a year, we'd be hitting 100 in two and a half years. 100 is a very unlikely level cap.

New difficulties will always be released so yes, higher level caps will matter. New level cap raise will coincide with Ultimate.

We're getting a new difficulty for EQs at the same time as Ultimate according to the roadmap. Ultimate might very well be a new quest type and a new difficulty. It's hard to say right now, but it's extremely unlikely that Ultimate will remain exclusive to Ultimate quests.

[Rakurai]

I'd be surprised if the levels capped at 100 considering how high the caps were in previous PS games.

[infiniteeverlasting]

i got a new PC and it seems that it's no longer letting me log on o.O
I got a code in an email just now, what do i do wiht that?

edit: nvm solved

[infiniteeverlasting]

another question,
i just got my new PC today, everything seemed fine in PSO2 until i found out that my mouse does something extremely weird that didnt happen with my old computer when playing pso2.
whenever i stop moving my mouse, the mouse would continue to move in that direction causing the camera to continue to rotate in that direction slowly until i either moved the mouse again or turned off my mouse.
this doenst happen to my mouse anywhere else, only in pso2.

[landman]

It's funny because I usually go do TD3 to level up a class, basically because the exp there is 10x compared to most places, and know what? I'm always top 3 with some 1st places just by geting cristals, purging shokets, shielding towers, destroying cannons and using turrets and the AIS. And I switch to FI/BO, the classes I want to level but not play, I usually play FO/TE.

[Walkure]

Your chara, your choice, but if you're there underleveled and no gear, and no idea what to do..

At best, you'll just get black listed.
At worst, they'll take your picture with ID, put you on the list, and someone will probabely report you, and then Sega will take a close look at you~

[Fusionxglave]

Is there a best class in Pso2?

What I mean by this is that: is there a class that topples all classes.

I though gu/hu was the best and then Fo/te are the best.

I would like to know and if someone could give me some tips what nerfing means that would wonderful. Is it a good thing to be nerfed or a bad thing to be nerfed.

Thank you.

P.S. Sorry this has been a question of mine since I started reading Class discussion thread.

[Rakurai]

Ever since they rebalanced the classes in Episode 3, there really aren't any classes/weapons that stand out as being leaps and bounds better then the others, IMO.

I'd just pick something that clicks with you playstyle wise.

Also, nerfing is a MMO term for when something gets weakened by the developers of the game.

[Fusionxglave]

Excellent.

Thank you for responding so quickly.

I am glad that is cleared up, I had doubts about my bouncer and wondered if gunnner was a better choice.

I am not picky out game play style as long as its the best.

Well thanks for the information I think I will stick to my bouncer.

[Sizustar]

From trying to maneuver through there, all I see are people fulltiming Axeons in EQs and whatnot. Seems like you have to be exceptionally useless to get on the blacklist?

Well, if you're low level and can't help in fight, you can help by picking up crystal and use AIS correctly, you'll be fine.
But if you just sit there and leech, then you'll be on the list

To be honest though, fire Fo stacking is pretty damn devastating each TD to varying degrees. Moreso 2 and 3 since spawns get bottlenecked harder there.

They have that information in the official guides, so I'd think it has to be available online somewhere.

Get units with higher starting Sdef, use affixes like Body and Snow Soul (or if you're lucky, Mark Griff and Ability), or extend the units

Rather ask in here rather than make a new thread for completely no reason.

^Actually, You can do this for max S-def. Get the 4* ブロ系 / Bro system set that gives +30 and craft it to Lv. 10 then get have Teacher as a main or sub for Deband Adv. with Hunter for the best results. Then get Deband EX drink or the Perm one. Then have a Lv. 8 Team Tree boost in Deband. Then add a Pumpkin Pie and add a weapon with Mark Griff on it (*note the Mark's are Weapon bound so far unless it has been changed.) . You should be between 2500 ~ 3000 S-def.

Game runs on a client-server type of communication.

Seems like many things, differently from some modern western games using the same model, are calculated client-side, meaning your computer calculates first, then sends to server.

Usually games following this model do things mostly on server side, for security reasons, since it's much harder to hack the server and having to bypass security, while locally things are easily accessible.

This results in smoother gameplay for us, although that isn't the case anymore with the recent lags.

Pretty much what I did in TD3 when I was leveling my Bouncer. I did put on a Axeon but I was non stop collecting and using AIS/Barriers/Heals/Zondeel when needed. This kind of leeching is fine by me since you still contribute to the overall MPA.

what's a good substitute for white tail that goes well with the gloam set

[the_importer_]

I'd be surprised if the levels capped at 100 considering how high the caps were in previous PS games.

If we get an Ultimate difficulty for every Ark Quests, Free Fields, Time Attack, etc..., then yes, going above 100 would makes sense but for SHard, anything above that would be overkill if you ask me.

[Ce'Nedra]

Ideal units for a 50+ Fo/Te?

[KazukiQZ]

^You can try Negro set or Fegali set + another arm unit.
http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/unit_05.php#nav

Negro is 3 piece set that gives 90 T-atk and 10PP. Meanwhile Fegali gives 60 T-atk and Ratk, and 10PP, but you're free to choose the arm unit (people mostly combine fegali with Heiremjees, for a total of 20PP from units).

Both this set has the 9* and 10* equivalent, and interchangeable between them. A example, if you have 9* rear fegali unit and 10* fegali (named Folly) leg unit, the set bonus will apply.

I recommend the 9* negro set though as starter, as they can be bought of playershop and easily available atm. But, dont forget to craft the 9* units :) BUT....DON'T craft the 10* ones :( unless you know the risk :/

i'd say katana and dual blades are equal just that katana requires a bit more effort since katana PAs are very situational, but tmgs aren't as strong as they used to be with all the nerfs gunner has recieved.

Is Hunar going to spawn in the new EQ?

He didn't spawn in last year's Halloween EQ. He might, but probably not. Summer and Easter EQs are the only ones I recall him spawning in, as far as seasonal ones go.


If we get an Ultimate difficulty for every Ark Quests, Free Fields, Time Attack, etc..., then yes, going above 100 would makes sense but for SHard, anything above that would be overkill if you ask me.

What makes you think SH is going to be the last difficulty? 10 year plan, datamining indicated space for 8 difficulties programmed in (not proof it will be used, but proof it was planned), AQs set a precedent for Ultimate quests to follow (started as a quest type with enemies with levels/AI exclusive to that quest type, before eventually spreading out to other quests later on), SH is a year old now, and the game only started with N/H.

Difficulties come out very slowly, even more slowly than level cap raises. VH came out in October of 2012 (PSO2's first year). SH came out the following October. Ultimate is a bit late, but it's said right on the roadmap that there will be a new difficulty for some EQs in the November update. Sure, not for all quests yet, but it's a new difficulty next month. Not just Ultimate quests. Ultimate might be the new difficulty for those EQs (if "some" = Fang Banther EQ, this is probably exactly what will happen) as well as a quest type.

Whatever the case, SH is by no means going to be the last difficulty, and Ultimate quests are almost certainly going to be implemented into other quest types. There's no good reason to think otherwise.

If you're subbing Hunter as a Ranger Main (which you should be any way if you want the best damage,) Flowpetal is a must-have, because the 4 / 5 / 6% Fury Stance boost at Pot 3 adds more damage than Immediate Justice or the Bio equivalent will do.

A Rifle with Crushing Blow would actually be better, since Ranger should be hitting Weak Points all the time, but if you don't, Enraged Stance from Flowpetal will even out your damage, if you can't get your hands on a Crushing Blow potential Rifle.

[Renzix]

Yes, it was buffed.

Bio Rifle still gives a higher bonus though. 8% > 6%.

If you want Just Attacks, sure, but an 8% JA boost isn't better than a 6% Fury Stance boost.

You should test it out yourself. 6% might sound like less than 8% from a JA Bio weapon, but Enraged Stance buffs EVERY part of Fury Stance. That means Just Attacks and the Power benefits you get when Fury Stance is active. It doesn't just buff the Stance itself and that's it.

Even when Enraged Stance was still 1 / 2 / 3%, it was still better to have that over a JA weapon. It wasn't as strong as it is now, but it was definitely noticeable.

[KazukiQZ]

^That sounds delicious, from the perspective of a RAHU such as myself :D

Gonna have to request you prove this, unless someone else can confirm. The skill says it increases Fury Stance by 6%. That's it. It doesn't say it buffs anything else, and I'm not seeing any sources that indicate otherwise.

Hey guys, does things like Step Advance stacks between main and subclass?

Sorry for the noob question :grin:

*EDIT* also, do critical hit chance stacks between like Critical Fury and Brave Stance Critical?
also, what about Just Reversal? Main class only or subclass also has the effect?

Hey Guys just returned to this game after a 6 month break I know we now need a proxy to connect to the server which I have done thanks to PSO Tweaker, My question is this how does one buy AC now that I can't connect to the official site!?.

You could connect to the site via a proxy, i recommend using https://www.softether.org/, its very easy to setup

or get AC via Arks Layer which directly support Tweaker

Install PSO2es on your Android device (http://arks-layer.com/pso2es.php) or BlueStack Android emulator and register a credit card on your Google Account. You can then buy AC from PSO2es and you won't have to deal with the Capatcha Boss. That being said, you should still donate a bit to Arks-Layer and to the guys working on the English Patches.

No, only the highest Step Advance has effect

All critical bonuses are additive. Like 15 and 20 is +35% total

Just Reversal is pressing the jump key while landing from being sent flying to recover

Hi again :)

What are the best units for my lvl 54 ranger (lvl 32 hunter subclass)?

(sorry for my bad english btw)

[Sandmind]

Hi again :)

What are the best units for my lvl 54 ranger (lvl 32 hunter subclass)?

(sorry for my bad english btw)

For pure Ratk as freemium, cannot really go wrong with 9* Tian set (back and arm two parts). Since it got zero hidden HP and PP bonus, craft it up to gain those and better defense (only lose out on some Range resist). Set effect is 90 Ratk and 10pp. For leg, pick whatever tickle your fancy/need, but most would say a PP leg.

[Renzix]

Hi again :)

(sorry for my bad english btw)

As Sandmind said, the Tian / Gwana (Gwana is 10* version of Tian) set, along with a PP or HP Leg would be good for you at your current level.

When you're more than confident to do SH, you'll want to go to Shiro and farm the 11* Units from Titan. Both variants drop them, with Rare having a better chance. Only downside to them really is that you're losing out on 30 extra R-Atk that you get from having the Tian set, but they're worthwhile for sure.

how should i build a FO/TE mag ? Tatk/DEx ?

[Sizustar]

how should i build a FO/TE mag ? Tatk/DEx ?

Pure T-atk, some S-atk if you plan to use ELS wand depending on your race and gender.

[sol_trigger]

so i will feed my mag with wand,jet boot and using room goods to decrease its DEX ?

[Fusionxglave]

Yes Sol_trigger to lower the dex you need to feed your mag with the right star room goods here is a link to help:

How do you recharge time abilities?

[xychangli]

another question,
i just got my new PC today, everything seemed fine in PSO2 until i found out that my mouse does something extremely weird that didnt happen with my old computer when playing pso2.
whenever i stop moving my mouse, the mouse would continue to move in that direction causing the camera to continue to rotate in that direction slowly until i either moved the mouse again or turned off my mouse.
this doenst happen to my mouse anywhere else, only in pso2.

I have exactly the same problem, have you fix it now?

how viable is a crit build for BoDB?

[KazukiQZ]

so i will feed my mag with wand,jet boot and using room goods to decrease its DEX ?
Feed your mag Tech weapons (rod, talis, wand and jetboots), preferably 7-9* for faster growth. This will increase T-atk and Dex, while reducing T-def.
To counter Dex from increasing, feed your mag Trimates, as it increase T-atk and T-def, while decreasing Dex.

So, with T-def and Dex got canceled out there, only T-atk is steadily increased.

[LonelyGaruga]

Don't use Trimates. Shiftaride and Debandride have the same effect but are half the price.

Those that have カジノ in their names are the casino blocks. However, SEGA shuffles block names pretty often, so casino blocks may have followed the chat blocks' fate since the last time I checked.

[Sizustar]

Fo Main

Te or Br sub

Weapons, depends on your skill tree and play style.

Generally, multiple skill tree each specilizing in one element, with the 50 element rod/tali that give 16% bonus for that specific element

And class specific question, use the Guide& walkthrough section of the forum

FO/TE wind tree for mobs for me seems to be best atm or full fire atm. It depends on what you want to use, going ice or dark are also good for the class.

Here's wind in td1:

Does Ancient Oath latent boost tech damage too? Looking at the new bow.

[LonelyGaruga]

Yes, it does.

[Brizone]

Guys, what does the Ancient Oath ability from Neiclaw (Wired Lance) do?
Boost elemental weakness damage by 10% only activates when hitting enemies with the element they weak against? or activates whenever i'm hitting the enemy weakpoint?

thx in advance :grin:

[Rakurai]

It specifically says "When attacking the enemy's weak element".

Crushing Blow is the latent that improves weak point damage.

[Rayden]

Does Lucky Rise boost rare drop rates, lower rare drop rates (due to it increasing common drop rates), or not make any difference? I've heard all three of these in the past, and I'm really confused on it now. I'm trying to hunt the Saiki set, so I want to know what's best.

Hello I was looking for the most over power Fo/te build.

I have not played Force before and so far a lot of people have said that is the most over power class.

I would like to see how over power it is and would very much appreciate the help and advice.

Thanks.

Anybody know what % bonus the rare drop rate boost that timed abilities give?

There is no such build.

What you want would depends on your budget(Ingame and real life) and equipments and whether you solo or party.

The most general is multiple skill tree for FO main, and Te sub, each specializing in one element, and the Rod/Tali/Wand that give the 16% element or the 20% race weapon with 50 element.

ELS if a nother one with focus on Wind/Ice/Dark

For max damage, it's usually Fo or Te main<Depending on element> and Br as a sub.

[Metalsnake27]

So... I'm wondering what would be better:

I just finished Matter Board 8 (besides seeing the Dark Fals Elder cutscene) and got the Agito that's on there...

I was wondering what is more beneficial:

Using my current EX Level 4 +10 Katana that has around 795 attack or something (I'm 1 dex away from being able to get it to ex level 5)
or upgrading the Agito to +10, which with the abilities from the matterboard, will have 725(?) attack.

The crafted Katana obviously has more max damage, but since the Agito doesn't have the damage variance thing, wouldn't that make it more consistent and overall jusy have a higher DPS value?

Either way I plan on upgrading the Agito in some fashion because I can use it on my other classes... plus it has some nice abilities on it.

It seems like there are a lot of unknowns about tech crafting. I'm hoping at least some of this information is known, because I can't find anything beyond basic guides.

What is the base chance for a "Great Success"?
What constitutes a Great Success in terms of merits and demerits?
Do merit/demerit boosting items only increase the minimum result or directly increase the craft result by 10% up to a certain limit?
Is there any information on the distribution of craft results? All I can assume is that it's a steep bell curve, at least on the higher end of success.

Lastly, are there any comprehensive guides on crafting besides the basic ones on cirnopedia and bumped?

Chance depends on level, and whether the crafter has the 3% rom item.
High merit and low demirt = great success

There isn't alot to discuss, just throw money at it, till you get the recipe you want.

The main reason anyone would sub BO over FI is for access to support techniques like Megiverse and Zondeel, because its damage modifiers are both weaker and more situational.

With the above in mind, do you plan on using fury gear boost or warbrave? If not, you'd be better off going Bo/Hu.

[Fusionxglave]

Does anyone have a guide for 5 slot affixing I see lots of 5 slots affixing weapons and so far I only know how to do 4.

If someone could give me a guide for 5 slot and Ability III affixing that would be nice.

How would fury gear boost or warbrave work well with a bo subclass?

[Kondibon]

How would fury gear boost or warbrave work well with a bo subclass?Furey gear boost would be for the hunter weapons you'd be using, and warbrave would work the same way it always does. That's why I asked. If you don't care about those two skills then Bo/Hu is better as it gives you more choices for good JBs and dual blades.
