I don't like my class anymore.

The holidays are upon us, and I finally have some time to start playing this game seriously (if I can pull myself away from my new DS games). I used to play as a Ranger back in PSO, but since PSU seemed very Hunter-centric I thought I'd try Hunter for a change of pace. I'm now a level 30 Cast with level 6 Hunter and level 3 Ranger. I've been playing as a Figunner for a little while but I've come to the conclusion that melee is not my thing. I was meant to be a Ranger, and eventually a Fortegunner. If I switch to Ranger now, will I look like a complete noob being level 30 and using level 1 bullets while playing as a non-expert class? Or am I better off just creating a new character? I'll probably never go back to Hunter or Figunner so all the time I've spent as a Hunter and levelling up melee skills were completely wasted. I don't want my character to be forever gimped compared to other player's characters at his level, but on the other hand starting over doesn't sound like fun either, even with all the money and items I could tweak him with from my first Cast.

Also, which brand would you recomend for Ranger weapons? Is it hard to solo or make money as a Ranger? Is a Ranger significantly better at inflicting status effects than a Force? Sorry for all the newby questions but I haven't been playing this game nearly enough, those damned Castleroids are alot more addicting to me than PSU.

Any advice from experienced players is appreciated.

Why would you use a lv1 char when you could use a lv30?

And how would you be forever gimped? You'd catch up in no time.

So in other words, you don't wanna switch and level up your other job to the proper level so that you won't look like a n00b?

Just change your class, I started as Force, went to Fortetecher, went to Wartecher, and back to Fortetecher, where I plan to stay. So I'm only a level 2 FT while all my buddies are level 5 in their classes, so what? You want to be a Fortegunner? Then do it, change your class. If you start a new character, all your buddies will be level 70 and you'll be level nothing.

[Ronzeru]

If you don't change it you're just being a lazy n00b starting all over again.

I hated being a Fortegunner and became a figunner. Absolutely love it

[Ronzeru]

Well duh. Figunners ftw, goes without saying.

Dude. I switched to ForteGunner as soon as the update made advanced classes available (character level 50 at the time) and immediately hooked myself up with a grenade launcher. Guess what level my bullets started out at? 1.

I'm about to hit lv 59, and I only have one rifle bullet that I've used, and it's just recently hit lv 18. My shotty bullets, on the other hand, are leveled up. Most of my handgun bullets are lacking, too. Don't sweat it if there's another ranger in the party doing more damage with his rifle than you. Chances are, you might have some bullets levelled higher for other weapons. Also, at char. lv 30, you're still a baby (no offense intended), and there will be plenty of time to level bullets up before you become a ForteGunner, and after.

Think about it this way- let's say you had more time in as a ranger, and decided to go protranser. It wouldn't matter what level your bullets were, you'd have beast-hunter-like accuracy and force-like attack power.

Just do what suits you. If you really like guns, ForteGunner will definitely be your thing.

you noticed that too? XD

Yeah, stick with your current character and just change classes - it really doesn't matter that much, and you'll level up in the basic classes FAST with the better MP available at higher level missions.

I'm so tempted to switch to Figunner to finish leveling up to say character lv 35, then finish out my Ranger and Force levels in Mizu Defense Srank...
