Expert class weapon distribution (screengrabs inside)

[Lovejuice]

In addition to Parn's handy post, here are some grabs of their statistic plusses and minuses at level 1 - to give a rough idea of what their growth may be in future. Please note that these grabs were done using a level 6 male Cast currently set to a level 1 Hunter job.

Remember that stats from top to bottom are: HP, ATP, ATA, TAP, DFP, EVA, MST, END.

Figunner


Guntecher


Wartecher


Fortefighter


Fortegunner


Fortecher


Protranser

Nice! Thank Lovejuice.

I figured that Protranser might have low stats due to their high Skill and Bullet PAs. I personally want to see how they do with traps tho...

[Kyuu]

Ah, seems that Protransers have pretty low ATP and ATA, so they'll definitely be depending on whatever trap skills they have to do their major damage, even with access to a wide variety of weapons and level 30 PAs/BAs.

Guntecker looks nice now, that and wartechers:
1 Protranser
2 Figunner
3 Fortetecker
4 Forterighter

If anyone knows, I would really like to have this question answered..

If I plan on becoming a Protranser, PSUpedia states that I need 5/5/5 in the respective job levels.
I take it as that I need to get to level 5 in RAnger/HUnter/FOrce, and ONLY then will the choice for going protranser appear??

...wow, that sounds like a damn stupid question to ask..but, if anyone actually knows, please share your knowledge:P

The loss of EVP that Fortefighter gets is a pointless nerf IMO, ForteFighters seem to be frontline fighters and EVP would be important to avoiding hits and to avoid taking to much damage.

Stripping away 9 EVP for obtaining the ForteFighter Expert class was unneccessary (even though it is a "small" amout).
Just IMO EVP should of been left alone, the Fortefighter inability to use any class of Double Sabers...was insult enough IMO, now more nerfs? Sorry for my complaining. I just a little annoyed with the nerfs that ForteFighter is getting.

IMNHO it make no F**ing sense to not allow a Fortefighter to use Double Sabers.

ST should of give S-Rank Axes to FiGunner and S-Rank Double-Saber to ForteFighter.
Even Phantasy Star I's Odin/Tylon used laser pistols and AXES!

It does kinda make sense, Fortefighters are brute force fighters, Figunners are more about technique, being better with the quicker more dexterous weapons

I didn;'t think I'd ever want a Figunner, but I guess I do now

[ShadowDragon28]

I just don't like the idea of feeling forced to be FiGunner to use double sabers, and only allowed to use A-Rank Swords; since I could care less about gun weapons.

My idea was to make my main character a agile and quick Swordsman, kind of like a good-guy version of Darth Maul using the best Swords and DoubleSaber.

If I choose ForteFighter for the S-Rank Sword use, but IMO not even being able to use A-Rank Double Saber at all is disappointing.

IMO A pure melee, expert Fighter like Fortefighter *should* be able to use the best melee weapons, like the double saber at least A-Rank. But it doesn't. If enough JP players complain about some of these nerfs, mayb ST will change/improve things.
pardon my grumbling..... trying to re-create my classic Humar avatar is going to be close to impossible. I wonder is possible to switch between Expert Classes at all?....

Ugh, I knew it, I knew they were gonna fuck up the expert classes somehow. They just HAD to nerf the specialty classes, didn't they? Taking s-rank guns away from the fortegunner? effing unbelievable.

[DreamTonight]

I have a problem: I cant use my A-Rank Twin Saber I made by myself! I was Hunter Lv10 (Female Cast) and now changed to Fortefighter so I thought I can use more weapons. I'm still Lv1 on Fortefighter. Why I cant use it now?
