EOIV Rantage!!

[Doktor_Q]

What I need is in-battle healing, not out of battle. Out of battle healing is the simplest to handle, between Patch Up, Bracing Walk, Bandage, and the like.

[EDIT]

Oh shit, is that 130% heal thing on Regen Waltz "across all 3~5 turns" or "every turn"?

[Liferake]

At the end of every turn.

Exactly like Protect Order from EO3.

[Doktor_Q]

I meant the 130% number, whiiiiich, judging from a bit of testing I managed to do, is "130% over the course of 3 turns." However, it's only slightly weaker than the medic's Line Heal that costs the same, and activating for 3 turns, when subbed onto a medic with their skill mastery, works great. I can also use Fan Dance to not be horribly violated when I switch between front and back line to target my healing, and then arm them with a bow+sword dance+mist dance to provide some supporting attacks in the meantime.

Medic/Dancer looks to be actually pretty useful, huh.

[Liferake]

I use D/F for Guard Mastery + Fan Dance = Lol Parry/dodge

Oh, and HP Boost and Guard Tango for when she does get hit.

I find D/F to be an adequate buffer/healer/item dealer/quick step user, and the amount of things a dancer can do makes them very useful.

I can't say the same for M/F... which as I use becomes more and more apparent that A/M is just better. She just ends up sitting around doing nothing because the Dancer supplies healing FASTER and PREVENTS status, and my Arcanist can do the fancy Dismiss Heal and regular healing with the same efficiency.

Rant cut short: All my M/F does is sit around dealing items and Auto-reviving and Auto-Healing and using Star Drop (But being too slow to really make it effective unless I waste a Quick Step on it.)
*sigh*

Bright side: L/B is super boss mode fun to use and swift stab is like, awesome.

Between my Medic/Dancer and my Runemaster/Arcanist, my life has become SO much easier in terms of HP regenerations <3

I rested my L after being unhappy with my L/M combo I made. I did L/N instead. I've still got one boss to go before I unlock B and I was SERIOUSLY thinking that a L/B would be a good combination. Should I waste another two levels for this combination? You mentioned it in your last post Life. I just can't seem to find a combination I'm happy with for my L.

[Liferake]

L/R and L/B are strange demons.
L/R if you use links
L/B if you use Rapiers/Swords

I remember this being my build around LV35 or so (Before I got access to bushi subclass):

L/None
Vanguard Maxed
Initiative Maxed
Sonic Raid 1
Expertise
Swordbreaker Maxed
Double Strike 3
Penetrate 3
7 unused skill points

So if you think you're going swords put 3 points into Spiral Slice instead. Penetrate, Spiral Slice, and Sonic raid are all very helpful skills to have around, though the boss fighting potential is quite low at this stage. Blood Surge and the End-of-tree attack skills will really bring it out though. (Vanguard -> Spam Attack move an offensive powerhouse does not make! Its like dragging around a magikarp.)

So I'd say probably wait on it until the Bushi become available to you, L/N is probably doing you a bit more justice right about now.

Defeated with the only member of the party not from a QR code being my Dancer/Medic. The one thing I should tell you is that Landsknects still make me cringe. I mean... Links are kind of lame now that I can subclass as Imperial. The Imperial Runemaster kept on deeming wise even though he kept on dying... and my superfly Dancer/Imperial will be taking some tips.

And now my Dancer/Medic is the highest level at 90.

Ok, woo, I can kill the bear foes

T_T gotta catch up

[ueI]

I just killed a golden bloodbear in a Windy Plains cave. Then I realized that there are fallen logs just about everywhere.

[Maxine MagicFox]

Hrrrm... yeah Linking seems to be my favorite asset right now... you don't recommend that with a Bushi subclass? Actually after you mentioned the Arcanist as a subclass for that, it does make a whole lot of sense.... hrrrrm.... Plus the Arcanist would bring more TP boosting... hrrrrm......

XD Really? We name our Runemasters the same? Which profile did you use? That's funny.
