@ Fluff Thanks! I'll def keep it in mind. I got the status fixers immediately, of course, but it's party and line heals that I'm waffling about @Iso Thanks for the advice! The way I have it split right now is that my M/P is my defensive buffer (protect order, etc), while my P/H is my offensive buffe...

Oh awesome! She'll probably be busy buffing/protecting anyways, but the whole reason I'm getting rid of my hoplite and putting protection tactics on her is because I want to be more offensive. Point taken on the S/N, too! Is 5RS okay even without charge? ALSO the question that I keep forgettng to as...

While we're discussing strategies, are Hoplite's spear skills any good? I'm subbing my Prince as a hoplite, and I'm thinking of giving her blitzritter/possibly switch stab/long stride so she can deal some damage, but iunno if it's a waste or not. Same with shield skills: Obviously she's not gonna be...

you could copypaste or give us the tumblr username and the post number! I'd be interested in reading it (though I guess I'd have to wait a bit since I'm not in postgame yet and I'm trying not to spoil myself TOO much)

Ah, man that's good to know, thank you! Then I might end up taking an A/R with me instead. I was thinking of getting multiple binds on the different parts (binding the entire monster at once) but then again i figure for this guy it's best to concentrate on getting the arms first So, abou...

Yeah, my M/A runs both Charm Eye and Atrophic, and it helps a lot. Also, am I missing something or doesn't trying a Snipe while you have a circle up give you two chances to bind? Or is a higher level circle better than a higher level Snipe? The Skillsim doesn't really give me more info than "Su...

Hey, just wondering, is this RP still open to new players, or is the time to sign up already past? I always thought an Etrian RP would be cool, but I'm in a little late. I was thinking of either a Hexer, WM, or DH for my char.

Interesting, why A/R and not A/S? What does Runemaster bring to the table in terms of binding? Or is that a general all-round arcanist?

I'm getting ready to beat the crud out of Heavenbringer , and I gotta know: Which is the better for binds, N/A or S/A? Snipers are focused more around binds and can technically try for 2 binds/round, but they also have lower Luck and lower Tec, whereas Nightseekers have higher luk/tec/agi but aren't...

I didn't see a topic for this, so I figured I'd start one since I think it's kinda a broad subject. Basically, what are peoples' thoughts on limits in this game? (Other than super annoying compared to Burst skills). I saw someone on Gamefaqs boards mention damage formulas, but I don't think I ever s...

(lol haven't gotten to Stratum 6 yet but) I've never used a R/B (I prefer R/I for MOAR ELEM PASSIVE plus Hawkeye and the TP regen skills), but AFAIK it's a good combo because Charge and Blood Surge (I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong) boosts your magic attacks as well as your physical, so you ...

Oh, I meant two of the same elements--its' doubtful considering how the rest of the game works, but I heard that Antifire twice reduces it by the percentages added together. I tried it with my hoplite's bunshin, but both anti levels are level 1 so I wasn't sure if that was an actual reduction or the...

I've had issues with accuracy, I usually try to fix it by either binding the legs or (if you have a sniper) using that accuracy-boosting skill. I don't really feel like Imperials are supposed to preserve their TP--as much of a miser as I can be for conserving magic energy, I usually let my guy burn ...

@ Isometric: Late thank you for your good advice, and for always helping out! Spamming thread again to ask...Antis don't stack, do they? I read somehwere that they do, but I did't see much difference when I bunshined and blocked. I've been thinking of subbing my Princess as Hoplite so I could get pa...

Igniz, how are you using your imperial? Are you buffing him before your drive hits? Is it the damage or the speed or the lack of versatility that you're not satisfied with? I think they're kinda meh on random encounters since my imperial's the only one who doesn't have a good AoE since I haven't got...
