I think either race can do both.

Are there any weapons I would be unable to wield as a Beast Gunmaster due to low ATA for reqs? Or would the main loss be ATA (not a huge loss for me...) and the SUV loss (kinda bites... I just dont't care for how CASTs look. Would trade nanoform for SUV if I could, hehe.

Gonna play through the single player missions to get a better feel for the game then start out online I think. Will unlock achievement points to... I think.

Will help me learn the story better in any case.

Oh.. I am sure this is asked often but the glowy wings I have seen in some videos coming out the back. What are they, who can use them, and how are they gotten?

Not for low ata, the highest ata requirement for S guns seems to be 250ish, and at very high levels (130) beast get 1000 ata.

Whitill wings, are offline only.

Thanks got it. Will go Beast then... since CASTs don't get bonus stats for Gunmaster. Will miss the SUV ability (looks fun) but Nanoform should do me alright.

As far as starting out online. What would you recommend (what do you normally do when you start a new character?) What bits should I really get, etc.

[DarkEliteRico]

should have mentioned this earlier, but none of the character types get a bonus with the master classes, it's pretty much straight across the board for us. I still prefer CAST's as gunners and beasts for bashers. But if you head to guardians colony 5th floor, or look for RahXehphon's room and send me your card/mail i'll join you and help you out with getting ready for whatever you feel like doing

So... uh... how does a newbie to PSU manage to get a Pasadi Cataract SUV before MAG ends?

Are they fairly common or such?

I can worry about the armor later, its just the SUV I am after so I can use it later on and not end up forever cursing that I missed the chance.

Well they're much more common now, from 12+ mill to roughly 750k each now is a HUGE drop in price. You could easily afford to buy one if you didn't find one by the time MAG is up, so thankfully we got a 2 week extension

Lots of guides for the different jobs, some weapons and skill PAs are good against single enemies and others against multiple enemies. Usually people carry some of each. Have fun.

Yeah, I like the way my beast char looks more than my CAST. And I like the stat layout for it. Its just not having the SUV. Nanoforms seem kinda bland compared to SUVs.

I am playing throught he single-player missions to know the Ethan Waber backstory and such. Then I will start going full tilt on my beast.

Out of curiosity, what can folk help with for new players? And what should I really focus on? Will be going for the pre-reqs for Fighmaster first, then working on pre-reqs for Gunmaster.

Well it's easier to level up the fighter type PA skills then it is bullets by a long shot (until the awaited rebalance). Personally until then i'd focus on melee arts mixed in with a few bullets that you can cross jobs with like the twin pistols for fighgunner/acrotecher/fortegunner/guntecher/mastergunner...

It's a damn shame we can't play offline with our online characters like we could back in PSO....but oh well, Ethans story seems pretty week until you get up into the Episode 3 missions, it's slowly getting better and darker like a real adventure should before the light at the end
