You know, I've discussed and defended Protranser so many times that I just don't feel like defending it again here. I'm just gonna say this, the option to multi-task and switch roles is a very valuable option, especially when certain weapons perform best in certain situations.

Now when you consider how far each is from the median, the DFP is around 1.55 times the median and the EVP is around 1.64 times the median. The EVP is a bit higher, but it doesn’t seem as ridiculously high as it did before.

Come on man no need to be misleading with those numbers. When we're talking in decimal form any change in the tenth position is always a significant change. For the average male, the legal Blood Alcohol limit to drive is .02 and under Anything past .08 and your legally intoxicated. At .15 you've got a chance of getting alcohol poisoning. Those numbers seem minuscule in degree of change but the effects are undeniable


@Arika, I search what I think was your shop. Kittycat Arika, but saw no Alseva Cresa. Did you sell them already?


Shadoog is a left handed weapon so yes you can wield a right handed weapon. Slicers are Also right handed.

The effects of Shadoog seem to be the same for all Shadoog ranks. an SE level was never listed on the stats of the Shadoog however I'm guessing its either SE 2 or 3. I never did any experimentation so take what I said as a grain of salt.

The best way i can describe the role of an Acrofighter in a party is that to a Ninjas in FFXI.

I personally love Acrofighter's weapon selection, it has some of my favorite weapons, Musashis, Single Daggers, Slicers, Shadoogs and Kikamis. To my taste, this seems like the perfect class for my human.

Yes.

To elaborate: Shadoogs are a left-handed weapon. All one-handed melee weapons (such as sabers, claws, daggers, and slicers (are slicers a melee weapon?)) are used in the right hand. Therefore, you can use a Shadoog alongside any one-handed melee weapon. Two-handed weapons such as twin sabers and other types of left-handed weapons such as cards cannot be used at the same time as a Shadoog.

I didn't know they couldn't use Twin Daggers... ._.

Eh, Im sticking to figh, plus AF cant use traps so...bleh.

The more I play characters using Twin Sabers, the more I like them. They also look quite graceful if you control your character, mid combo, to strike at different enemies.

Of course, you sort of want to keep up with them, as the higher level enemies don't hit stun so well. You do, at times, have to be ready to spam the PA early on those, though. Still, that isn't exactly a new aspect for a hunter weapon. It's more of a pick your poison kind of thing. I do like supplementing them with Spears, though. But quite a few of the new weapons I'm not so sure on what you can do with them. If this class had spears, they'd probably be a bit too good, though.

On the other hand, I can still see Mufonna absolutely tearing up things with multi-monster hitting PAs. Giving both Acrobat classes Twin Guns still sounds like a "Sega reading from Tynselle Backstory" idea, but it does give them something nasty. That's a free long range Monster Aggro generator right there. You can get in first, attract the monsters with Twin Handguns and use Twin MayaLee on them, at the same time. This will soften them up as they run right into your ever loving Swords and Claws.

It's like being a Wolverine that has a little power to pull enemies to him, first. Twin daggers and/or Spears would make this class an absolute monster, with only a small subset of its weapons. As I mentioned before, maybe a little too good. The weapon selection here, seems to hint at different possible strategies, once they come running for you. This will be most fun to find out, first hand.

I'm satisfied with this class not having spears, if they had spears, they'd be a little broken.
