For Runemaster their best damaging spells are Galvanic Rune and Glacier Rune, the former being the more reliable of the two. With a maxed Ice/Volt Rune and Runic Guidance they can actually do some amazing damage. Oh and Runic Gleam I guess... I never actually bothered maxing so I don't how much it ...

So, for a Linksknecht, which is a better approach? Invest in all three elements; OR Invest in one element, then spend the spare 20 points in general utility skills (like Mindbreak and swordbreaker) as well; OR Invest partially in all three elements and spend the spare points on general utility skill...

Please elaborate on the fan dance speed boost bug? Seconded. I've heard it mentioned several times, but never described with any degree of competence. Also, it was present in the JP version. Has it been CONFIRMED for US, or is it still (technically) speculative? Also, somewhat shocked that you seem...

How good is Swordy's defensive dualwielding compared to real shields, anyhow? Makes up for it well? If the Skill Simulator is accurate, it's a flat 10-30% damage reduction, based on skill level. Also not sure you need to drop the shield, just one piece of armor, like normal. They may have applied t...

I do have a question though. Does the Runemaster's skills that specify boosting Rune skills only work for Rune Skills? I would think so, but if Runic Gleam boosts any elemental attack- the swordsman links, for instance- that might be cool. Replace the Sniper/Dancer with a Fortress/Dancer and Sub Im...

Now this is interesting... I think apprentices of retirees inherit their books. I just retired my Lv 70 Dancer so I can build up a team of retire-buffed characters for the post-endgame. My dancer had been the target of all my speed books. I just used a speed book on her apprentice, and got the messa...

The Battle Charm and Helpful Letter are equippable items that are pretty good in the beginning of the game, but become unimpressive pretty quickly. The others are kinda cool items that have no use other than selling. I'm keeping all my QR items just because.

Quick question: when does subclassing unlock? After you defeat the midboss in the 3rd maze. ... Which I incidentally just beat. He's not too bad, his only dangerous attack was Roar which OHKO'd my poor Nightseeker. Anyway now I'm tearing my hair out on decided good subclasses for my team. Nightseek...

Hey, I know it might be spoilers but... Here's a FAQ I have with the 4th Stratum How do you avoid those robots in the 4th Maze? Set patrol route. Observe, Record, Evade. How do you avoid those annoying chameleons when getting those cuff lets for the Count? Again, they have a set path. It was either...

Yeah, this one was a pain. My team (which hasn't really changed since I started post-demo) is as follows: Front Row: 51 Dancesknecht (L/D) - Proficiency-Enlightenment, Power Boost x8, Iron Wall x8, Swordbreaker x6, Fan Dance X5, Sword Dance x5, Mist dance x4, Speed Boost x4, Counter Samba x3, Chase ...

This and your question about Ice Stakes are tied together. Continue exploring and they should both be answered.

As far as the Ice Stakes go, they can be used in battle, but there's another important sue for them as well.

I've probably been playing a bit too much....
