^ AWESOME, Trance! Great list!

Paladin loses Cure skills? I know they were kinda useless in the later game but without him and my medic I woulda been in trouble many times Stratum 1.

[Riseatrance]

The list is far from complete, though. I only listed down changes worth mentioning. For example, Bushido/Ronin has a crapload of new skills but I'm too lazy to list them all (there are about... 5? or so?). The -LANDSHARK BANNED- has 5 skills for each Sword and Axe, too, but I didn't feel like listing them down. Only Ray Slash was worth mentioning.

[Maxine MagicFox]

*Nods* Yeah, I kinda got that drift 'cause the lists seemed kinda short in some areas.

[Riseatrance]

Uh. Yeah, thanks, Paranoia. For correcting me >_>

EDIT: Collective bonus for Analyze is x2.33 (probably x2.32), the raw bonus is x1.55

x1.5 basic damage for hitting weakness

x1.5*x1.55 = x2.325
