I know a lot of people have meelee Fomars, but does anyone use their Ramarl for meelee?

just a general question...i have one myself...but i don't see/hear other people talking about them... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

There are people that have them, myself one of them. It is just easier to melee with a RAmarl than with a force so the forces get all the attention.

Melee a RAmarl?
Never even heard of it. Is it going to be double saber based. No offense I think that's a bit crazy. I would just go with the gun set! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

well, Ramarls seem almost too much like Hunewearls for me not to meelee with them

Hunewearls hae slightly higher stats in everything but ATA and evp...and the high ata can be useful for combat
...i just recently decided to meelee with mine and i think it's great http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I guess you could. I gave mine a double saber today and the combo is different, but very cool, with a short recoil. Just wondering, do any other females have that combo? Anyway, the ATA will definitely help in melee, and with a good power mag, and 18-20 shifta, she'll probably melee better than Fomars.

the doublesaber attack is the same one Hunewearl's use...

Of course to point it out. FOmarls also use that combo. And it's not cool! I think the HUcaseal one is the coolest! XP

Yeah, that Hucaseal one is really cool. cept for that last hit goes behind the back, ot at least it looks like it. They're all verticle.

all the hucaseal combos are jacked up the a**. If i'm not mistaken, she has a completely original dagger combo. And the unarmed one. It can only be described as "Ahh! she's biting my knees!"

The non HUcaseal female double saber animation is my favorite.

My RAmarl does plenty of melee but that's just she's in hard and borrowing my HUcast's mag so she can get away with it. She tears it up with the Double Saber and Soul Eater.

Yeah, I do a lot of melee with my RAmarl. I mean, they seem to be a natural for it, what with good ATA and EVP. Power isn't too much of a problem w/ S/Z either. Personally, I use an S-Rank twin with my RAmarl and she deals out some decent damage; I can usually kill forest enemies in one combo, so that's good enough for me! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif I did some claw melee too with Morning Glory, but I think double sabers are definitely the way to go for melee RAmarl. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

The Hucaseal has the Ramarl claw combo. I'm guessing the Hunewearl does too, but I don't know for sure.

I tried meeleein' on cheep last night with the twin blaze(q-tip of doom!) Sanji came with pretending to be a force,but she wasn't doing very well and just kept shooting everything with a holy ray. It worked very well in forest and the special was useful,but I did,once agian,get stuck in a bunch of bartles that couldn't hit me. We didn't keep on going after forest though,so I can't really rate it. I need to try it online.

Episode 1 & 2 (GC & XBox)
Stats (twin Blaze)
ATP: + 300-520
ATA: + 40
MST: + 40
Max Grinder: 9
Special: Gifoie, Drains Users HP
Class: Twin Saber
Required ATP: 685
Stars: 10

Stats (Monkey King Bar)
ATP: + 380-390
ATA: + 41
Max Grinder: 25
Class: Twin Saber
Required ATP: 500
Stars: 10

Stats (Twin Brand)
ATP: + 235-240
ATA: + 39
Max Grinder: 60
Special: Halves Enemy HP.
Class: Twin Saber
Required ATP: 400
Stars: 10

Well Twin Blaze Looks The MOst Powerful but that depends on how good the blaze find is, blaze goes to +60 about(360) mkb goes to +25(440) Blaze Goes To +9(318-538)

So Twin Blaze Is Best Depending On How Good The One You Find Is but the MKB is better than brand and can be better the Blaze

What's with this idea that people "melee" with FOs becuz it's hard? I've always used weapons with my FOmarl since like FOmars, they are designed for that and it's more effective than casting techs all the time. Hybrid FOs are great for being able to have strong techs to use on the side and not for being hard to play, which outside of the bad ATA, they are easier to play, to me at least.

With melee RAs, why not? ST gave RAs the ability to use a good amount of melee weapons, so why not use them? In certain cases, using a melee weapon can be more effective than using a gun. It also helps to bring some changes to the flow of gameplay, so you don't get as bored.

I completely agree with what you just said http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif


ABOUT MELEE FOS
in Ease of play Melee FO > Tech FO.

I guess it can be hard before you "get into your groove", ie get the right equipment/techs, learn better ways to fight, etc... but so is a Tech FO.

but when you get to Ult, and when you can clear any area, you tend to notice it's a lot easier and much faster with a Melee* FO...

I just beat Falz on Ult with my Tech-FOnewm and i tried playing Ep2 Ult, and I found since the enemies resistances are all mixed in the levels (as well as enemy types), I was having a lot of trouble dishing out the dmg... cuz in Ep1, it was all one element, and use weaker techs for the fewer enemies.

also the resistances went way up in Ep2... I go from 500+ dmg to 200-300 dmg...

so for now, my Tech-FOnewm is using melee stuff for Ep2, at least until he is at a higher level.

ABOUT MELEE RAS
well, with all the ATA you have, you can wear all power equipment, especially since melee weapons are more accurate than ranged weapons.

RAcaseals would be good for a challenge, while RAmarls should be best suited for melee since they have S/D and Z/J. RAcast with their loads of HP should be OK, but i'd be a bit worried about their other stats if there is nobody to cast S/D and Z/J, and RAmars should be decent...

but at any rate, they should do well, and if you ever wanna use guns, its a lot easier to switch to than a Tech-FO switching to melee or vice versa.




* or as if you wanna be "politically correct" - "physical", because a lot of those FOs use mech guns and occasionally slicers, hanguns, and other ranged weapons, but who cares http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

How about my HUmar, I didn't bother trying to boost his ATP, he's a Hunter, it'll already go up enough. So I've got a Mag with I believe 10 DEF, 59 DEX, and 131 MIND. I carry around about nine different weapons at any given time. A Saber-type, AKIKO'S FRYING PAN, a double-saber-type, a two-swords-type, a handgun-type, a mechgun-type, a slicer-type, a partisan-type, and a sword-type.

That way I kinda feel like I'm a Hunter and a Force at the same time. I know this makes him mediocre in both categories though. I'll equip AKIKO'S FRYING PAN because I believe it's the only weapon that a Hunter can equip that raises his MST.

When I fight with him, I do have to be a lot more on top of things and use a good bit of strategy, trying to freeze a group of enemies with Gibarta or holding them at bay with well timed Sword/Partisan swings. I change between all my weapons frequently in the midst of combat depending on the situation.

i tech RAmar. tech RAmar with shot weapon, nice and hard that way. really fun, you should try it. first time i was able to play a RAmar past lvl 20 without getting so bored and offing them. maybe i just have a tech block in my head, must always cast tech.

it's really challenging but quite fun. bosses are lengthy affairs if not done right. that shot is quite slow...

I have concluded that my twin blaze(gives over 500 atp!) is awesome!!!!! It works very well and the special is very useful. I found it easy to use while playing offline and on. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif I don't think I'd do so well trying to be a force >.>;

a melee fo is probally easier then a melee ra simply because ra's dont get as many partisan option but mainly its because of soul banish and at lower difficulties G. assassin sabers
