New fish is in town

I just got the game (damn dunno what to name my guild). Just wanna make sure: Is it fine to pick any job I like, or is there specific jobs that I should get?

Since it's my first time experiencing EO it was really... tough. It's been a long time since I played a game in which normal monsters can kick your butt this much

After trying everything I settled with:
Front: Lands \ Protector
Back: Medic \ Survivalist \ Alchemist

Alch is crazy. 'Fire' burns 40 HP and he's still at level 1, holy crap that's alot!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #123 on:** June 30, 2008, 08:47:04 AM »

Scenester: I found that a Medic is not essential. War Magus all the way, initially obviously getting points in War Lore and Cure, then you want to switch tracks and get points in War Edge and Strength, so that you can get Cursecut. Why Cursecut? Because you're going to switch out your Medic for a Hexer, that's why. In the first stratum, their Poison skill is fuck awesome. After that, you can use Curse on baddies. It doesn't do much, but... when your WM uses Cursecut on a cursed baddie, THEY CAN REGENERATE TP. Yup. And WM has a little skill called Transfer, that lets you transfer TP to other characters. You see where I'm going with this? Don't worry, Hexer also has the cheapest skill in the game: Revenge. Cart a semi-dead Hexer around with you and then you can pretty much fuck own most things. Non-elemental damage as well.

Rain: Since it's your initiation into EO I would recommend playing with a Medic until you feel comfortable not doing so, then play around with a War Magus a bit. Personally I find Protectors to be worthless in EO2, but I like dealing lots of damage so I roll with a Ronin even tho they have shitty defense early eventually it will be just slightly worse than the rest of your party and they hit really fucking hard. As someone who really likes Alchemists it pained me to put mine down, but it was necessary- eventually you're going to want to explore around more, and your Alchemist will run out of TP fast. No way around it. When they do, they're pretty much useless. I would say swap him out for a Gunner, who can use powerful elemental attacks that your Landsknecht can chase for combos. Survivalist is good- they have lots of good skills that can help you in different ways. You also are able to get their most powerful bow really early in the game if you fulfill a certain condition by beating the boss on the fifth floor, so they will deal a fuckload of damage well into the game. In the end tho, you can use pretty much any combination of classes you want as long as you have some kind of healer and grind the fuck out of your characters so they can kick some ass.

I am taking this advice and reworking my party ASAP

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #125 on:** June 30, 2008, 10:29:06 AM »

The only problem is that you're gonna have to wait awhile to see benefits from the Hexer/War Magus combo. First off, it's preferable to max out Poison for the Hexer before going for Curse as Poison is really useful for fights in the first stratum where you can't kill everything off in one turn. Just poison 'em and they're toast. That's 10 points in poison, and you want it maxed to get a good drop from the boss on floor 5. The War Magus has to max out War Edge (10 points) and get a 6 in Str before you can get cursecut. You'll also want to pump at least a point into War Lore and Cure so you can heal your party. This team starts to shine in the second stratum imo, which is why I used a team of Ronin/Landsknecht/War Magus/Gunner/Gunner for the first stratum. You could sub in a Survivalist for the second gunner too since they get decent bows pretty early, but I built a team of three Survivalists for lumberjacking purposes.

If you have the patience to level some characters up to 30 and retire them you can make your Hexer/WM combo work faster, otherwise you'll need to grind a bit.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #126 on:** June 30, 2008, 03:37:08 PM »

Yeah, the fact that the Ronin has no weapon mastery, just style mastery (Overhead, Iai, etc mastery applies to damage dealt from special attacks in that style, like Orochi) means that in late game situations a Dark Hunter will be able to slightly edge them in terms of damage dealt. Supposedly, I'm not there yet but I could see it. Dark Hunters are vicious fuckers.

GAWD, this quest where you spend three in game days on the fourth floor is mind numblingly boring but is great for forcing me to grind my survivalist lumberjacking squad.

Went to four stores including a GS and nobody had it. Unbelievable...

The Sceneman · « **Reply #130 on:** July 02, 2008, 05:06:41 AM »

yep pretty much all Im playing this week.

*phew* thank god the difficulty eases off once you get to floors 4-5, I was just about ready to throw my DS at one point, I got sick of my party getting raped by just basic encounter beasties, and dont even mention the FOEs

But yeah my guys are strong enough to handle a few hits now, and the medic's revive skill is a godsend. Although the medic is more or less deadweight except for that skill, the War Magus heals just as well and fights great too thanks to his awesome Boar Spear

Im pretty sure Im gonna take Card Cheat's (on a side note, is he formerly Triumph? I lose track of all the name changes sometimes...) advice and swap out the medic for a hexer once my party gets a bit stronger, and also investing points into the War Magus skills he mentioned.

As for my Gunner, Ronin and Landsneckt skills Im just playing around really, try out various different skills and seeing which ones work best. Zamba is a nice powerful blow for my Ronin, Im going to try and build towards her sweet looking Fire based techniques. Gunner's (mine called Kobe lol

) voltshot is super-sweet so Im gonna pump that up, experimenting with arm and headshot (binding skills), I'll let you know how useful I find them against bosses and FOEs. Trying a sword build for Landsdude (still cant spell it haha), as I did axes in EO1. Im not really too fussed as I'll probably swap him out for a bear when I can get one.

WHEN DO I GET MY BEAR? Im going to call him Big Steve. Hopefully theres enough characters available. Big Dave might have to do

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #131 on:** July 02, 2008, 08:57:29 AM »

Yeah, I used to be Triumph. Or still am. Or something.

Anyway, you're just about to the point where you can start using Beasts. Beating the level 5 boss lets you recruit them. (pro-tip: go back in 14 days or later and beat the 5th floor boss again, but make sure he's poisoned when he dies. You get his conditional item drop, which you can sell for lots of fuck monies) Actually, you have to go back to the spot where the wolf was afterwards. Hope that makes sense. You'll be disappointed, tho. They're not that great- their best skill requires a prerequisite that lets them take hits for other team members but a glitch(maybe, maybe it was intentional) uses the OTHER characters def instead of the Beast's for determining damage. They do have a pretty cool smorgasboard of skills to fuck around with, tho. I created 3 beasts to fuck around with- Mange the Wolf, Colbert the Bear, and Maurice the Stupid Panda. I leveled them to around lv 5 and forgot about them.

Gunner's binds aren't very good, hit at a lower percentage than DH. Really can't recommend DH enough, they fucking rock balls. Fire-based techs for Ronin are the best- Orochi, Kienzan and Midareba all rock balls. Pumping points into clarity is also a good idea. Sword Landsknechts are good for hitting multiple baddies with all-slash. Once you're comfortable with your War Magus as healer tho I'd definitely sub out your Medic as they just kind of sit there in the mid game I've found.

Basically, don't be afraid to experiment tho. You can always rest and reset skills, just grind to make up those 5 levels. Of the five characters in my party right now, I retired my Ronin at level 30 to get another Ronin with beefed up stats and more skill points. I rested my War Magus and Hexer because I didn't like the builds I had going, and my Gunner and Dark Hunter I decided were fine. The important thing to remember is that when deciding to rest, figure out what you want the build at five levels less to look like. Remember you're going to be losing basically 5 points, so if you can't figure out how to reallocate in a way that benefits you don't bother to do it, just grind a bit.

the initial cap is still 70. Everytime you retire a character the cap gets moved up 1. I hope you don't plan on doing that $:-\$

Also, you have to retire the character at the max level- 70 initially, then the retired character is level 30 and you have to retire at 71 to get another level 30 character you can retire at 72, etc. Not something I plan on doing, personally.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #135 on:** July 03, 2008, 04:33:31 AM »

jesus, no doesnt sound like a very good plan...

had a great run on the bus today, wasted heaps of of Furyhorns for 'payback', completed a couple of quests, made some coin and gained a couple of levels. Im going to grind loot for the best gear available and take on Chimaera... wonder if he shouldve been called Chimera... or if hes Chimaera the Chimera... whats the best way to poison him? Alchemist? Do hexers and dark hunters have poisoning skills?

Im keen for his fuck monies loot

fuck monies

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #136 on:** July 03, 2008, 09:17:12 AM »

Best way to poison Chimaera is Hexer, who with a maxed out Poison skill has a base 87% chance to poison. That doesn't take into account any modifiers the Hexer has (Luck modifies the Hexer's chances to hit with any curse, interestingly enough) and the Chimaera's resistance to said curses. FWIW, I went in with a Hexer with a 10 in poison and hit him on the first turn although plenty of other people have bitched about not being able to poison him lolz. It also dealt almost 300 points of damage at the end of the turn, not that it mattered because he was fucking bound up tight as balls by my DH and had just been hit with an Issen. Next turn he went down to Climax.

Other ways to poison: your other options are Dark Hunter and Survivalist, and frankly they both suck at it, especially compared to Hexer, and ESPECIALLY especially when you take into account that there are much, much better skills to be pumping points into for those classes at this point in the game or just in general. Finally, you might have an item that lets you poison- this was how I tried to poison him when I fought him initially, when my party was Ronin/Landsknecht/War Magus/Gunner/Gunner. It didn't work the first time, or the second after I reset the game. The item probably has a shitty base chance to hit. Basically your best bet to get his conditional drop (and mad fuck monies) is a Hexer with maxed out poison.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #137 on:** July 03, 2008, 03:57:31 PM »

Hexer it is

I got frustrated on the flygourds on floor 17. I'm trying to get their rare drop, but it must be fully bound when killing it. My Dark Hunter has maxed gag and tec and I give him luck equipment, and he's never binding. My single hexer is doing an ok job, but by the time I try to bind the third part, one of the others wears off. I reallllllllly want this rare drop, so I just made a team of hexer scrubs to bind the bastard. Let's see if it works.

What about the DH force move that fully binds? Or is that not as effective later on?

lolz, you'll succeed IN SPITE OF your Protector only because of the presence of your awesome DH. Also, if you're going to have a Landsknecht you might as well run a Gunner or Ronin or Alchemist so you have something to chase and combo off of. For the first stratum I ran a team of R-L-WM-G-G and it was pretty much cake. After the first stratum I switched out the Landsknecht and second Gunner for Dark Hunter and Hexer and haven't looked back, they're fuck awesome.

Right now I'm kinda just grinding on the first floor trying to boost my stats and get money for better equipment. I think I may be playing it wrong or something. Why do I have to travel all the way through the first floor to get to the second floor everytime? Is there a way to go straight to the second floor?

IMO it's easier to roll with 3 on the front lines and 2 in the back, as the damage gets distributed more evenly that way. I'd replace that Protector with either a Ronin or Dark Hunter.

As Viz said, strong against everything but ice and volt. Alternately you could use dampen from a hexer to make them take 120% damage from everything, but it's fucking ridiculously hard to get Dampen- have to unlock scavenge (5 each in TP and TEC up), max that out and have a 10 in Curses. Pretty fucking worth it, tho.

I think Atlus just really fucked up on the programming for Beasts. Their abilities are worthless...or worse than worthless. Gathering's nice, but survivalists are better at that too. I used to play a tank in WoW so I always liked the idea of having a "tank" class in EO, but they just don't work.

I didn't see a password feature in the options at all...does this mean no EO3?

I think that they fucked up with Loyalty. I'm not sure why when it activates and you block for someone else you use THEIR defense rating to determine the damage taken by the BEAST. Dumb dumb dumb. That alone pretty much makes Beasts useless, because loyalty unlocks their best skill but it's pretty much impossible to level them up to fucking get it because they'll be dying all the goddamn time.

But yeah, there's no point in trying to tank in this game. It's all about using overwhelming force or fucking with the enemies to make them unable to fuck with you, which is why Dark Hunters and Hexers are so fuck awesome. Ronins and Gunners too. War Magus makes the cut because they do more damage than Medics and have the broken Cursecut/Transfer combo.

Do any of the beast skills deal more damage than a plain attack? Ive tried bodyslam and claw and they both do like 1/3 the damage of just attacking.... they fucked up bad alright. Im going to replace him with a dark hunter I think...

I haven't gotten to EO2 yet, but I was wondering about the classes. Are medics required again? I want to try the new classes (cept for the beasts which sound horrible) but i'm wondering if it's better balanced this time around, as in greater freedom on classes to use?

I never played EO1, but I've played the majority of the game using a War Magus. You do pretty much need one or the other imo tho.

thread resurrection time!

I figure Im not the only one thats still playing this. Up to 18F now... just need some build advice

Working towards dampen with my Hexer (Terry), almost there. Poison and Corrupt are maxed out... but still hardly ever get the FOEs. Does TEC up help?

Yep, Beasts (Big Dave) skills are pretty much useless. Devour combined with loyalty does make for easier surviviabilty... I pretty much keep him around for the sweet loot gathering skills.

Ive got like 12 unused skill points for my Ronin (Diedre, lol) that I cannot figure out where to put them. Already maxed out Clarity, Orochi and Kienzan. What else?

Gunner (Kobe, after the basketball player) builds himself and kicks ass. Wildshot

Riskshot was good until the beast defends and ends up taking 700 damage, fucking lousy programming

Working on a bard (Criss, after Criss Angel), maxed out divinity, what other skills are useful? Relaxing was the bomb in EO1 but theyve taken it away
