was there ever a EA nerf announced or just rumors

Is the Zieg CO that gives cmode units limited to accounts or characters?

[Nyansan]

Is the Zieg CO that gives cmode units limited to accounts or characters?
AFAIK it can only be completed once per account.

[untrustful]

So if I do it on my 2nd character,I'll only get 100 quadloos?

[Nyansan]

So if I do it on my 2nd character,I'll only get 100 quadloos?

Actually logged in to check on this one, yep you only get 100 exp if you do it on second character.

Edit: So, Sange-Yasha DBs or max crafted Red DBs?

[Bellion]

Lvl 3 Pot Red DBs with Craft Mastery at 10 will have no problem beating Lvl 3 pot Sangeyasha consistently.

Believe default hotkeys for swapping subpalette/weapon is 1-9 on numpad. (Could be wrong, personally swapped to 1-9 above letter keys)
Whereas numbers 1-6 swap to weapons in slots 1-6 respectively, 7-9 swap to subpalletes 1-3 of current book respectively.

Alternatively, could go into weapon switching reel and press the left/right current-hotbar-skill select buttons to move into the subpalette reel and cycle through there. But takes considerably more steps. (Slower and more difficult)



Aetherchaos: To cycle through the shortcut bars (1 to 3 OR 4 to 6) press f/r then g then f/r again.

I know there is a shortcut to change from bar 1-2-3 to bar 4-5-6 but I can never remember it.

Spiral, Saffran,

Thank you very much! Something got messed up and the numpad keys started working after a few resets to default. Only numpad keys 1-3 were working before for some reason. (???)

Is there some sort of chat or spreadsheet which lists the damage and DPS of photon arts and techniques?

Each section on the swiki lists the comparative dps and dppp (damage per pp) by weapon for PAs.

How do you switch to gunslash mode on pso2es, yall?

[Anduril]

How do you switch to gunslash mode on pso2es, yall?
You need the Mode Shift (http://phantasystar.wikia.com/wiki/Photon_Arts_in_PSO2es#Gunslash_Arts) chip.

EDIT: Never mind, it looks like they changed it; you don't need the chip anymore, you just need need to touch two points on the screen simultaneously.

[gabor100]

So i had a question that still need an answer.


T-Atk mag needs a class, without rainbow set.
Which one would do more DPS?

Fo/Fi with ラコニウムの杖 Club of Laconium(Wand, Ex.Lv9) (Boosts fire technique damage by 16%)

or

Bo/Fi with アレスティス Arestice(Ex.Lv9) (Boosts elemental weakness damage by 8%)

or

Bo/Fi with リキドハイス Rikido Heise (Boosts the damage of Gran Wave by 20%)


DON'T care if there are better builds.

I wan't to do TACO's to get money and it sucks if your dps is so slow that Vol Dragon puts on and removes his super armor 3-4 times at Amduscia TA H.

[cragner2]

This whole red Weapon thing is confusing me, what makes them so much better that most other weapons fail in comparison? and would it be worth me to try to get a 30% requirement reduction and an add Ranger item to a Red Bow if i do decide to go for red weapons?

[Qualia]

+16% unconditional (once crafted) damage boosting potential. Very worth.

What does a MAG evolve into if it's only had defensive stat increases?

[KLMS1]

For evolution purposes ATK and DEF of the same type are simply added up.

Greetings I'm new! I would like to know which class you would suggest to a very beginner, best regards!

[SolRiver]

Greetings I'm new! I would like to know which class you would suggest to a very beginner, best regards!

beginner's biggest hurdle imo is storing up enough money to become more efficient (assuming you are used to online rpg in general and can last the grind to max level), for that reason i would recommend bouncer jet boot due to cheap element switching and tech casting. (you can learn close range, medium range, long range combat all in one class)

can take hunter sub to increase survival while still have good synergy.

after u saved enough money (like 20~60mil?), there might be a balance patch which allow you to reset into far more expensive dual sword dps builds if you wish to (via skill reset pass given out).

[Saffran]

Aetherchaos > no problem.

weapon slots 4 5 6 need to be unlocked through a quest from Koffie, so that might be the reason.

Also, if you need to change between rows 1-2-3 and 4-5-6 as we were talking last time, press j then up then arrow left or right then j again.

[Millionz]

Hey all,

I was wondering if someone could tell me what the special ability is on the 13 star Katana that you get from Kuron Stones at the Shiny Stone Shop. Like how my sword has black heart which increases s atk when below 50% pp. I couldn't find what the 13 star katana gives out of the shop. Thanks for any help !

[doomdragon83]

Hey all,

I was wondering if someone could tell me what the special ability is on the 13 star Katana that you get from Kuron Stones at the Shiny Stone Shop.
PP consumption is reduced by 30 percent when using PA · technique, power is reduced by 5%.

[Anduril]

I think it does, but I'm just double checking: does a weapon's model change its effective range? Specifically asking in regards to Wand melee range; for example, does a *Tension Mic have a significantly shorter reach than a *Magnolia Eclair 2?

[Nyansan]

Honestly i say use what you like the most, because you have a small pool of skills to use anyway, I assume you're a smart person so you should be able to create a set up for your situations, Personally i HATE Immortal Dove, even though people say its a great skill. I still would rather use Krestel Rampage, and Heavenly Kite for climbing tall mobs like Magatsu, Dispersion to deal with trash mobs (its a great AOE skill) and Distraction wing if you are fighting somthing that moves a lot and you want to be sure you stay on top of it, and really...thats like 4 out of the total 7 skills you can even choose from lol

Go into the Options from the launcher/ PSO2 options in the Tweaker and check what Text Size you're at.
"Default (fits 1280 pixels across)" (the smallest available option) looks like this on 1920x1080:

[spoiler-box]http://i.imgur.com/DLJFJyb.png[/spoiler-box]

If you change it, then it changes back on its own, you may need to delete your "user.pso2" file. (NOTE: This will reset graphics settings, as well as most in-game options except for key-bindings.)

[Achelousaurus]

Is Guard Stance any good for tanking purposes?
If you don't care about damage. And with that I mean if you don't plan to kill anything at all.
Can be useful for pure support te when all you spam is buffs and healing.

[LifeCirculation]

If you use a mag reset device, can you use a mag appearance pass on it when it reaches level 100 again, or does it void all the devices?

[xBM]

So, I maxed every important skills for Gunner and now I'm looking for utility skills.

Should I max Twin Machinegun Mastery and Zero Range Critical?

I know that critical sucks on this game but it's probably the only skills that I can dump my spare skill points into.

Another question, how does Standing Snipe work with Twin Machineguns?

[Rakurai]

TMG Mastery is a must, because it effectively doubles your PP regen from regular attacks (Assuming no other regen boosting skills are in play).

As far as Standing Snipe goes, if you were staying still when a PA was activated, the entire thing will get the damage bonus. The only PAs that can be spammed while retaining the bonus to my knowledge are Satellite Aim and Elder Rebellion.

Which RA PA is best to use as RA/HU in mag during WB core spams?

[infiniteeverlasting]

pso2 still does random crashes for me on windows 10, any fix for this?

[IronKrone]

A couple of pso2es questions, since I just installed it today.

1. Is there a limit to how many characters you can have on es for free?

2. Are chips shared between characters on es? I know that AC, FUN, weapons, etc are shared on your character if you link pso2 and es, but if you have characters A and B, both linked to pso2 on es, can you share chips between them or is it completely separate?

Thanks in advance!

[Rakurai]

Chips are character specific.

[Perfect Chaos]

A couple of pso2es questions, since I just installed it today.

1. Is there a limit to how many characters you can have on es for free?You can sync any amount of characters that you already have on PSO2 to PSO2es without any cost.

[IronKrone]

Chips are character specific.


You can sync any amount of characters that you already have on PSO2 to PSO2es without any cost.

Thank you both!

I guess it might be better if I focus on raising one character at a time then, if the chips are character specific.

[cragner2]

Is there a way to search shops for weapons with certain souls on it? or if theres a surefire way to get a weapon drop with a soul on it?

[Rakurai]

The four empty rows to the right of the main shop menu are for affix searches.

[emeraude]

Which RA PA is best to use as RA/HU in mag during WB core spams?
Depending on placement imo, it will still be either End Attract or Satellite Cannon.

What's the gist of anga farming?

I was in a party last night but didn't think to ask but only thing I noticed was....
1. Someone would go in and sometimes they'd type "X" which lead to them restarting or "O" when everyone go in....

2. They'd get ~250 points before they attacked Anga.

3. Profit lol


I'd love to attempt to make one....or join but I'm sure its harder to join a random party for it....

It means the Shifta ticks hit faster, so even with the one extra tick you get from crafting Shifta, it still takes more or less the same amount of time to get the full effect of all the ticks rather than taking longer.

Yes, but you can use Merit Boosters to reduce the RNG to the higher end.

Depends on the potential, but typically Talis and Rods with the Elemental potentials will be better. An Elysion is often times used on Fo to be able to spam certain techs like Ilbarta and Sazan.

You in ult nab? People start a new locked mpa each (to save time) - the pass is usually in the pt description, along with the # of people they will wait for before starting to kill for 250 points.

Run the locked MPA til you find Anga (abandon if you trigger a code or get an omen), when you find it, change the party title to アンが:O 13:45 (in JST) or something. Wait for people to join, kill for 250 for max drops, once Anga dies, sweep the map for another one. Rinse repeat.

is end attract actually better on plat compared to the old glory rain when still and emission when moving

[milranduil]

According to a team member, EA hits gut twice, so it's definitely better than HE while moving. I'm not sure how it compares to airborne GR spam though I would bet EA is better dmg/pp.

EDIT: ok according to swiki, EA should definitely be better for at least a few usages. The problem is that you have to reposition after like 2 EAs to avoid falling off. I believe EA hits the wb twice and then you get some extra bonus damage as it pierces through magatsu (for obviously less since no wb there).

[Bellion]

Point-blank EA only hits the WB once and then hits the body. You'd have to be standing like mid-platform or something.

With what rifle? I heard it hits twice with CM camo at point blank (or near point-blank). The barrel may be too long with ares, and it for sure was with ideal when my source tested it.

pso2 still does random crashes for me on windows 10, any fix for this?

Try disabling your sound driver before launch. It will kill PSO2's sound but should allow it to run, it does for me. This is not so much a fix but it will let you play, albeit without the sound feedback to let you know you're doing things right...

BE WARNED, some apps will go NUTS if you disable your sound device, like Spotify, it'll tank hard if it's on radio and you disable that driver. Firefox, Skype, and Trillian are totally fine though, so if you open your music player after, you'll be fine. Also, you don't have to KEEP the drivers disabled, only turn them off before you start the game, you can re-enable them after.

Presumably this is because GameGuard still doesn't like Win10 sound drivers on some PCs, some people are lucky and have sound cards that don't have this issue. I seriously wish I could turn off gameguard or find a way to trick it....

EDIT: I have managed to play PSO2 for hours without this bug, but I can't discern a pattern to WHY I was able to play with the sound on and without this problem occurring. If we could determine a pattern to it, we could probably force it and just do some quick shenanigans each time we want to play PSO2 and be fine.

There's actually a bug that makes Windows 10 glitch in all sort of ways if you don't keep the default sound scheme configured in your settings, it even prevents you from opening OS stuff like Calc and Taskman. This is one of the many reasons I went back to Windows 7, I was tried of BETA testing Windows 10 for Microsoft.

[hoangsea]

last month we got an event that sega give to use an free 10* ticket weapon
when we use it we got the 11* after few weeks

is the event still continue that we use the 11* ticket and we got 12* one later ?
it it does, when is the last day that the event still work ?

[oratank]

that event was include 12* ticket(´;ω;`)

[KazukiQZ]

The event is gone now. So if you only use the free 10* pass given by SEGA, you can only get a 11* weapon pass.

No 4th free 12* pass for total free players, sadly.

What's the difference between "Emergency Code" and "Exception Code" when Anga pops up?

[yoshiblue]

I don't think there's any difference between the two. Just that one is getting Anga on the first go and the other (Exception) acting as a sort of change over.

[KazukiQZ]

^To add to that, Exception Code is a changeover after a normal Changeover =w=

Another question about crafting.
No way to add 2 classes at once with items, is there?

So when I use 1 class addition item and great success gives me another class, can I keep both? Or will the item cancel out the great success and I only get 1 additional class after all?
And how about allclass, can that happen when I use an item or will that item prevent it and always get me the fixed result of exactly this one additional class?

[KLMS1]

AFAIK any class combination, allclass included, is possible with a... whatchamacallem... great success.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but adding an extra class to your crafting automatically makes it a Great Success, probably to prevent you from getting one randomly and getting 3 classes on 1 weapon.

For reference, I'm specifically making a Red Jet Boots, for use with a T-ATK Fi/Bo.

Level 13 uses Gold material which doesn't have damage variance reduction like silver one

[LonelyGaruga]

That's news to me. swiki says both Silva and Gold materials have reduced damage variance.

[Reika~]

Is that right? So I guess it'd be better to settle for 12?

[TwistedShaerk]

Yeah, I was under the assumption that once you started with Silva mats you'd get a damage reduction, but if Gold mats don't have the reduced variance that's stupid because it discourages going past certain extensions based on the rarity of the weapon.

[bLOODSAW]

So I'm thinking of trying Te/Br but I have a few questions first...

1) Does attack advance (normal hit up 50%) count towards the wand hit AND the wand gear tech explosion, or just the wand hit?

2) Does weak stance apply to the tech explosion from wand gear?

3) If it does, does it apply twice if I am hitting a weak point with elemental weakness damage?

4) In your opinion, would average stance be a better choice considering it applies to both the wand hit and wand gear tech explosion?

Thanks in advance!

[Lakshun]

I got another question, do sword, partizan and knuckle gear increase damage at all, and if so by how much when full?

1) I believe it only counts toward the melee attack, and if I recall, it also doesn't proc when using Snatch Step.

2) Yes, if the elements match it will proc.

3) Yes, it should proc on both the melee hit and the explosion.

4) If you are matching elements, WS would still be better, plus it gives a good boost to matching Techs and head-shots are relatively easy to get with most enemies even with a Wand smack.

Someone please correct me if I am incorrect / elaborate further if needed.

[LonelyGaruga]

@Gold crafts: Obviously they do have the reduced damage variance, the idea of them not having it is purely fictional.

1) Wand hit only, doesn't apply to wand Step Attack.
2) Yes.
3) No. You will get Weak Stance for both parts of the attack, but WG does not double dip the damage bonus.
4) No.


I got another question, do sword, partizan and knuckle gear increase damage at all, and if so by how much when full?

Sword Gear: Varies case by case for each PA. For example, Rising Edge does not get a damage increase, but Sonic Arrow gets a 50% damage boost at Gear 3.
Partisan Gear: All PAs except for Sacred Skewer and Volg Raptor gain a 10% increase in damage. Sacred Skewer gains a 20% damage increase, Volg Raptor does not get a damage increase.
Knuckle Gear: Backhand Smash gains a damage increase at gear 3, the other PAs do not get damage increases at all.

When doing AC scratch do gold cards give you everything for a particular costume if its supposed to have it? for example does a character specific outfit from gold also include hairstyle and additional accessories to complete that particular costume?

[Anduril]

Most times, yes, though there are exceptions, for example, in the Guilty Gear scratch, two outfit sets only include the costume and the hairstyle and not the accessories or camos. Typically, the item boxes will only include a total of two or three items.

[ArcaneTechs]

Generally its during Revival Scratches or Special Deals of some sort. You can check the catalog for the scratches and see if anything of the sort was added in but most of the time they aren't added into the scratches otherwise it's just a random outfit

[Zangor17]

thanks. I'm interested in getting the purple heart stuff when the neptunia and sega girls scratch comes around but wanted to know if gold might have all the stuff for it or nor.

[ArcaneTechs]

Most likely it won't (since they want to make money) but we really wouldn't know until the night of maintenance for that scratch when they update the Catalog would be the time that we find out for sure or not

[Zangor17]

oh okay. looks like the accessories will most likely be a separate set that you can still get from a gold card. guess i'll save up meseta and hope I get lucky with the 2,000 AC when the scratch comes out. and i can probably make some decent meseta off anything I get that i don't want.

If I only want Break SD and not break stance itself, i.e. a dmg boost regardless of element (for LQs and stuff), do I still need to max Break Stance and Break Stance Up 1?

[Perfect Chaos]

Does PSO2 have wedding events?For a few weeks each year, the lobby becomes the "Wedding Lobby", but that's the closest thing to a "wedding event". LOL


If I only want Break SD and not break stance itself, i.e. a dmg boost regardless of element (for LQs and stuff), do I still need to max Break Stance and Break Stance Up 1?First of all, Break SD Bonus gives you a fraction of what you have on Break Stance as unconditional damage, so with minimum investment in Break Stance, 45% of 3% is only 1.35%. It doesn't care how many points you have in Break Stance Up, though.
But regardless, you have to have Break Stance active for Break SD Bonus to apply, so you can't just run Elemental Stance and still get another 15.75% boost from the Break Stance branch by investing 15 points in that.


And I have a question, myself:
Does anyone know if you're allowed to enter more than one of the same type of code per account for merchandise items? Like, if I were to buy two of the We're ARKS/Rare Drop KOI KOI CD, could I get two copies of each of the songs' disc items on one account.

[Superia]

I think so. I don't think crit builds rely on LB as much.

I never quite understood the "critical build" specification. Is it not standard for Fi/(Hu/Br/Bo) to maximize Critical Strike and the two critical boosting skills on those combinations?

I have used several of those "Deluxe Edition" packages on my account, so I expect that it will work with other things too.

[Perfect Chaos]

HU tree gets really tight on points, so it's not worth getting Fury Critical over the other options. And even then, FI/BO is the only one that can achieve 100% critical rate from just basic skills alone. 70% Critical Rate isn't all that great for FI/HU, especially for what you're sacrificing. I guess BR tree can spare points for more critical rate, but it's still not 100% unless under Katana Gear.
So I guess the specification is mostly referring to FI/BO and its ability to achieve 100% critical rate on command.

And you used codes from multiple copies of the same year's Deluxe Edition release, or just different ones from different years?

This build should have enough for Automate or Iron Will or whatever it is people worried about getting hit use. Also, wasn't that Partizan with the critical latent really popular with Fighters for a while?

I have used multiple copies of the Episode 2 package (3 of them I think).

If you go Iron Will instead of Automate for Limit Break, but still get Massive, then you'll have to sacrifice some Never Give Up for Critical. Either that, or 5 points in Fury Combo Up or something. I guess the loss isn't as much as I initially thought. Probably haven't seriously looked at different possibilities with the HU tree since the level cap to 75; the extra points helped quite a bit I guess.


Actually, 70% crit is great for FiHu because of naginata + volg.Oh, right. I forgot that Critical Strike lets you double-dip on multipliers with Volg. Pretty good, then.

The break stance is for lqs when elemental stance isnt good cause many different enemey types get mixed.

Which Mag SP action out of the 4 will benefit me more since I am a Gunner?

Also, which photon blast is the most optimal?

Last question, mag PB and SP action scales damage dealt from character stats not mag stats correct?

[Kondibon]

Which Mag SP action out of the 4 will benefit me more since I am a Gunner?Probably the ranged one. I don't know if the melee one boosts Ranged damage or not. If it does it might be a better choice instead.


Also, which photon blast is the most optimal? For what?


Last question, mag PB and SP action scales damage dealt from character stats not mag stats correct?Well mag stats are added to your character stats so it's both. It includes your weapon as well, for PBs, I'm not sure about SP actions in that case.

[xBM]

Probably the ranged one. I don't know if the melee one boosts Ranged damage or not. If it does it might be a better choice instead.

For what?

Well mag stats are added to your character stats so it's both. It includes your weapon as well, for PBs, I'm not sure about SP actions in that case.

The most optimal PB for either damage, or utility for a Gunner/Ranger.

[KazukiQZ]

^Melee/Ranged SP Action is your general extra damage action. They are good if you want some extra PP recovery (it can recover PP even during PA animation or PA charging). If you don't care about damage, Ranged is better than Melee as Ranged can rapid shoot from afar, so the PP recovery is guaranteed. Meanwhile for Melee, you have to get close to get the PP recovery via SP attacks.

Tech SP action is useless for Gunner.

Dex SP action: Iron Wall, is pretty neat (reduce damage when taking a hit, and then you get hyperarmor for 5 seconds). Only downside is, it has 4 minutes cooldown instead of just 2 minutes for the other 3 SP actions.


As for PB, either Ketos Proi or Julius Nifta.

Since I heard GU don't have many PP problem, you can go for Julius Nifta. It'll create a super gravitational field around the target that you have lock on to, sucking all enemies toward it, dealing damage while also stunning them. While the damage will not be high due to Gunner/Ranger mag being ratk, the suction power is preferred more by players.

You can also use the Bisketdrop (11* dessert gunslash) since it has high Tatk and usable by GU or RA to amplify the Julius Nifta damage abit. Other notable weapons are Viblas Cannon, and Galette Chocolat (both are launchers with very good Tatk amount).

[Kondibon]

The most optimal PB for either damage, or utility for a Gunner/Ranger.For utility Julius Nifta is always a good choice, but since it's T-atk based it's not going to do a lot of damage. Unfortunately I'm not as familiar with r-atk PBs.

[milranduil]

Nifta + crafted bulletsquall/sat aim is quite op even in XH.

Bellion, i criated a sega id and put service pso2. There are the service of the PSO es for active too?

[Bellion]

Yes, and you pick your ship based on which characters are on the ship in PSO2.

[Perfect Chaos]

Red katana! Biased because hp drain sucks, and so do 12* grinding costs.12* grinding has the same success/drop rate as 11* now, so it'll only cost a bit more due to higher base on per-try cost.

12* grinding has the same success/drop rate as 11* now, so it'll only cost a bit more due to higher base on per-try cost.

But it's still grinding a 7* vs grinding an 11*. The success rates are much higher, and the cost per attempt is much lower. I think you're underestimating the difference in cost here, but it is RNG after all.

[LunaSolstice]

Speaking of grinding,I felt that the grind success rates of 13 stars scale with the potent. I grinded the Ideal Trigger I have to Potent 3 +10 but +10 was easy,Potent 1 +10 was easy,Potent 2 +10 was abit hard,then getting to Potent 3 +10 was much harder. Still it costed around 8-9mill meseta.

[KazukiQZ]

I have yet to spend more than 6 mil on a full +40 of a 12* since the most recent Dudu nerf.
I guess I just value CMs more than meseta (at least for the ratio it takes to +40 either of the two choices), since CMs can get you Ideal weapons that meseta can't buy. It doesn't take as long a grind to get 6 million meseta as it does to get 42,000 CMs, unless you happen to have a dedicated team for do CQs with.

Lol you don't even need to get the red weapon to +40 for it to be good. +20 is already better than evil rakuka at +40 (which has +1% more damage but that DoT)

Plus with all this meseta that you don't mind spending, you might as well just buy a +20 from the visiphone to save your miles. They're only 2-3m, depending on the weapon.

Edit: Also Evil Rakuka is harder to 50 element.

Whats the sitations that I would use each weapon? I feel classes get stale when you only use one of their weapons.
Partizan has more use for bossing due to Vol Graptor. Wired lance is better for mobbing while (in my opinion) Sword is in the middle of them both. I haven't touched Wired lance much through my play time so someone with more experience will bring up better points than I would so I'm not going to list any.

Partizan really shines when the boss is stunned (or you know you have enough of an opening) since you will need some prepping time to get a full combo off (let's say you want to do Vol Graptor followed by two Slide ends, all of them charged with full gear). The damage is great and makes it a top tier weapon if you manage to get the combo off. This weapon can be used for mobbing and does pretty decently at that. The only issue I have is with the gear not being based of damaging enemies but instead by holding your block key / button or by dashing and letting your character spin the weapon. This is easily countered by getting the Hunter skill that boosts gear accumulation.

Sword does well due to being able to perform some good AoE damage and knock up, you have Guilty Break for a good damaging gap closer and is my most used Sword PA (I usually go with Guilty break > Rising edge > Crafted Twister Fall. Fully charged if I have the last level of gear). Sword also has Elder pain / Chainsawd for easy healing without having to make distance to heal up.

Susano Guren or Kenei are good early multi-class katanas. You could use those to level hunter if you want. I'd settle with a red katana for general use though.

Speed rain, vol graptor + zenith throw and sacred skewer, assault buster. Almost all partizan PAs are good. I'd mess around with them and find out which ones you like.

Hmm...maybe I should have clarified that first question. I have Braver as a main class, and I was trying to figure out which 13* katana is generally considered better, including potentials.

Like, is the Ideal Karen's insane damage boost potential against bosses worth the lower S-ATK when compared to the Ares and Slave weapon?

Sword is the best overall for Ultimate (and to a lesser extent, XH) because of the high damage:PP efficiency and the solid range on the PAs. Wired Lance are relatively mediocre in that they don't really do anything well compared to swords or partisans. Holding Current is extremely PP efficient but not really that great for DPS compared to Volg Raptor combos with partisans. Partisans have inferior mobbing abilities in XH/Ultimate compared to swords, but superior ~SH because they do sufficient damage while being considerably faster than swords. In terms of bossing, they are essentially superior due to Volg Raptor combos, but this can be tricky to use in Ultimate with mobs around.

If using other classes than Hunter main, sword isn't really good at anything due to losing Hunter Gear Boost.


I have Braver as a main class, and I was trying to figure out which 13* katana is generally considered better, including potentials.

Like, is the Ideal Karen's insane damage boost potential against bosses worth the lower S-ATK when compared to the Ares and Slave weapon?

Ideal Karen is only a couple % stronger than a max PB Ares Ryuuga. Ares Ryuuga is the best overall, while Skull katana is good for Guren/Asagiri dashing (and very little else), and Slave Kuuga's potential is too impractical to use for katana since they burn through PP very quickly.

[Bellion]

You should go for Ares, the gap between Ideal and Ares in terms of mobbing is much greater than the gap between Ideal and Ares for bossing.

Ares beats Slave overall, in that you don't have to play as if you only have half of your PP. If you manage to get 3k+ attack overall with Katana Gear active, then Max PB Ares will beat Slave's 300 attack boost all of the time.

Three questions:

Do PS Vita blocks really have less spawns even if you're on a PC?

What does the description for Block# 222 say?

I just got a new Saiki set and I plan on doing just 3 affixes for now since I'm basically out of meseta.

If I wanted it to be (temporarily) beneficial for striking, ranged, and tech; what would you guys recommended for only 3 affixes? I have stuff to make them have Apprentice Soul, Mutation, and Stigma but I wasn't sure if that would be a waste or not

[viciousbrandon]

I've never played as a force before since I started playing PSO on the dreamcast so had a few questions:

what should I focus on in terms of skill points?
style?
what is usually preferred tech wise?
Tech or Force?

[Qualia]

Hmm...maybe I should have clarified that first question. I have Braver as a main class, and I was trying to figure out which 13* katana is generally considered better, including potentials.

Like, is the Ideal Karen's insane damage boost potential against bosses worth the lower S-ATK when compared to the Ares and Slave weapon?

Lolllll read that as up to 13*

Tech or Force?Force main gives more damage for casting than any other main, due to Element Conversion alone. FOTE is the most versatile one, but FOBR or TEBR works, too, but you have to match element weakness and the element mastery that goes with it. BR subclass will give you the highest multipliers, but PP management becomes much more difficult. With Compound Techs, though, FOTE becomes even better a choice than it already is.

If you can't afford multiple skill trees, then a Fire+Light+Dark build will probably be the best choice, as fire is good for mobbing and Light and Dark is good for bossing, and Fire+Dark gives you an amazing Fomelgion. But ideally, you'd need multiple skill trees for each element to be the most efficient possible.

Skills to get (roughly in the order you should take them) are:
Force
Charge PP Revival
T-ATK High Up
Element Conversion
Tech Charge Advance 1&2
Tech JA Advance
Element Masteries (Flame Tech S Charge is absolutely necessary for fire, as well.)
Talis Tech Bonus
Rare Mastery Force (1 point only, of course.)
Maybe 1 point in the other two Mastery 1s if you can't afford multiple trees.
Photon Flare Afterburst

Techter
Element Weak Hit
Territory Burst
PP Convert
PP Restorate
Super Treatment
Element Mastery 1&2 (preferably on two elements)
T-ATK Up 2 (don't put more than 3 into T-ATK Up 1)
Territory PP Save (1 point at least)
Maybe 2 and 1 in the third element's Mastery 1 and 2, respectively

HERE (http://pso2-skill.pwnedgalaxy.net/skillcalc.php?10uDbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxImbxIm jda8dodBIb000000000doIn0000000jdoib0000000fdo00000 00dBbsiN2SGBexdnibfcKIx00000ioInfcDjGAdBIkcKJI4fn0 00009bIo0000000jdoIb0000000j) is a example of what you can have.
The TE tree here is the tree I use when I use my Light+Dark TE tree.
The FO tree here is a modified version of my Fire FO tree in order to take 1 point in the other two Masteries. If you like Photon Flare, you can sacrifice Charge Escape and Rod Keep Bonus if you don't find those too helpful for you. Also, if you don't plan to use a Talis (but you should use one to be more efficient), then you can transfer points from Talis Tech Bonus to something else, too. T-ATK Up 2 is an option if you can salvage enough points from other places to max it (not worth it unless you max it, though).

Three questions:

Do PS Vita blocks really have less spawns even if you're on a PC?



I've been on PS Vita blocks alot for things like EQs and AQs but never noticed less spawns while playing on PC,however the longer PSE is nice.

[milranduil]

Vita block (even if playing on a PC) has both less spawns and a lower mob limit. Play AQ more and you'll notice a distinct difference.

Are these any good? I'm not familiar with mechs.

whats the price to remove ownership on 11 star units that you have crafted? i remember seeing they added this function but never heard what the price is to do such a thing? curious to know before start to craft my sekai units

[Bellion]

Trade in 5 excubes for owner removal pass at excube shop.
Then go to Dudu and with that pass + 200k or so meseta for an 11* unit, and you can unbind it.

And that TMG is solid for zero range stuff.

[Syklo]

Hey guys...long time no see~

So Uh, it seems that over the break I had, pso2es had a bunch more main quests added in. Just wanted to ask what's the last quest, or alternatively, what's the new maximum stamina amount?

Also, is it worth getting the ideal units to replace the zieg set? And I haven't heard anything about AQ's - are they kinda dead/irrelevant now?

[Perfect Chaos]

It's worth getting, as the game literally pays you for getting them (you get back twice the amount of CM that it costs once you get them and show them to Zieg). Are the worth using is another story... LOL

Alright, I'm determined to run an awesome support/heal Te/Fo, but hell if I know where to even start. Apparently I'm already off to a rough start picking a male newman. (Either I looked at the wrong data, or I read the correct chart incorrectly. Still, I least I get cheaper outfits.)

Currently:

HP 502
PP 108
S-ATK 874
R-ATK 561
T-ATK 1524
DEX 426
S-DEF 789
R-DEF 681
T-DEF 1056

Seitenweise +10, with Splendid Recovery Lv 2
(Technique III, Poison I, Arm I, Mark Angar, Lucky Rise I)
Rear / Circuhorn b +10
(Mutation I, Ragne Soul)
Arm / Circaledia b +10
(Cougar Soul, Ability III, Mutation I, Power I)
Leg / Ciclignos b +10
(Apprentice Soul, Blow Resist III)

Mag: Technique Lv 60, Dex Lv 1, which spoils my plans for a pure Tech mag for the time being

Any advise or guidance would be appreciated

I mine 200mil in 1 month which is still lower than other players, and of course I don't sell AC stuff. So, what is your problem? FYI, atleast this game or this JP version doesn't suck you dry, PSO2SEA will suck all of your money before you know it.

@Random Red: how about Te/Br, I played Wand lover Te/Br before, good for mobbing and support, super fast leveling, sucks on bossing though -_-

^Seems like Thienien gain his meseta from collecting dropped junks and selling them to NPC shop lol

Klotho can give around 2 million mesetas per week, and that's just from VH+SH+N Vopal TAs and XQCO. Adding H TAs is another 400k meseta.

And this is per character.
Since we have 2 free character slots, we can have potential 4m+ per week!

Please elaborate more since 'horrific' is such a subjective term. Also, Klotho + 2 characters + DOs = roughly 6m meseta weekly.

im building a tank, what would be more preferable? blow resist (S-resistance), or body (S-def).

basically i dont know waht the difference between resistance and just flat defence.

[KLMS1]

im building a tank

why would you even do that :cry:

[Otokonokotron]

why would you even do that :cry:

because hunters really arent cut out to do tons of damge (especially in multiparties its better to use them for aggro and the such) also with my current build i havent died in like 3 weeks so theres that....

and usually when the class gets an update its for HP increase or something that even suggests Hunter is geared more towards that kinda play. if i wanna do damage i play as my braver.

[KLMS1]

Fury stance 4 lyfe, bruh.

More to the point, Hu tankiness comes from Automate and Massive (IW optional),

[LonelyGaruga]

because hunters really arent cut out to do tons of damge (especially in multiparties its better to use them for aggro and the such) also with my current build i havent died in like 3 weeks so theres that....

and usually when the class gets an update its for HP increase or something that even suggests Hunter is geared more towards that kinda play.

1) Hunter is actually really good for damage output, especially mobbing.
2) Not dying for three weeks doesn't tell us anything. You should not die if you're built sufficiently tanky, but what are you accomplishing besides not dying, and how much do you really play?
3) Hunter has never been given an HP increase in any update, and many updates are buffs to Guard Stance because it's horrible and still needs tremendous buffs before it's even worth considering. Hunter has also had about as many buffs to its offensive abilities anyway.

There's nothing stopping you from being capable of a strong offense and getting aggro (a strong offense in fact makes it easier to get aggro).

[Otokonokotron]

wow why dont yall go fk yourselfvs then.

hunter just got an hp increase +50

nvermind my question then whats better resistance or flat def!?

[final_attack]

im building a tank, what would be more preferable? blow resist (S-resistance), or body (S-def).

basically i dont know waht the difference between resistance and just flat defence.

Never affixed S-Def ..... but here's what I got by affixing S-Resistance.
All units and weapon are Soul (forgot Leone or Leopard that gives S-Atk), Power3, BlowResist3, AllResist3, Stamina3.

Using full Fury Stance tree (Lv5 FuryCombo, no crit) ....... Lv10 FlashGuard1, Lv5 FlashGuard2 ..... only taking SwordGear. Didn't take any JustGuard related skills, since I rarely just guard (let the blow coming :D ).
Though the weapon's potential is FlashGuard Lv10 ..... so yeah, not much damage.

I use this setup if I just want to let off steam in UQ without much care about HP and tiny bit of thinking (other than that, back to main using Gu). Focusing mainly on resistance with this order : S-Res >>> R-Res > T-Res. I'm screwed if too much T-based damage ... but I usually just use guard for those heavy hitting T-Attacks.

This setup also makes other people who use Resta less ...... painful (I have some friends that only heals around 400~500 (they seems to be not crafting the Resta for power one or just let them at default) ..... Newer player with less T-Atk will also have easier time healing should they want to play support role in mpa o-o
