[stickdude]

Anyway, I'm actually going to go to bed now. You take care.  

[Rednal]

G'night! ^^ *Waves*

Other Important Notes: While Physical is the easiest to 'break', it's also the easiest to Be broken.
Unlike other elements, there isn't a Phys Break skill. And on top of that, Physical Resistances are decently frequent.
There is the Pierce Skill, but that doesn't bypass Reflect. [As Per Ryo/En], so if you're fighting someone with that, you're boned.

Which is where you go to elements. They fall under similar bits to Physical, in that there's Mind-charge, the Boosts, the Amps, and Tarukajas still buff those.
Plus, when it comes to using Magic Skills, they don't cost you HP like the good physical skills. Plus, with a more magic Focus, you can slide in a healing skill.
However, the MAIN difference between the two, is that You can break Elemental resistances.
Which lets you focus more on one Element, if you're willing to shell out a medium Skill for the break.
The hardest Route, is to use Light and Darkness as your primary Elements.
While the Breaks are on the skill-list, they're rather frowned upon, and not acknowledged as usable. [Mostly because They're insta-deaths originally..and Straight up Hp Reduction]
The Judgement of Light! And Judgement of Darkness! Skills are obviously some of the most powerful. [Very High level, Woah!] )and with instant Death too! Ohmaigawsh) but also the most easily prevented.
With Nulls to Darkness and Light, you keep from getting floored by these skills, and as such, Most-instant death. Therefore, with Light and Dark, you have to say 'Do they resist or above it?'
If the answer is Yes, you're screwed. If no? You have better odds. [See: Faust -> Fujimatsu]
The other elements are easily handled by utilizing a break skill, and though they don't have Marksman to Guarantee a hit. [Which, admittedly, is kind of bull], they're generally reliable. Plus, some Elements can make for some beautiful Thematics. [Fire Good!]
Then there's the Almighty Element. While it's rarely resisted, it also lacks any elemental boosts. It's mostly Guaranteed to hit your foe, regardless of crazy resistances. [Accelerator]. However, all of the skills in the world, and all the power you hold....Can be ruined by one, little thing.
Status Ailments.
Hoo boy...Ailments can take a perfectly good plan, and throw it out the window.
They can disable you, weaken you, sap your energy....Or, in some cases, make you vulnerable to Almighty Level Death skill! [Eternal Lie, Death Call, Ghastly Wail]. Fear, Confusion, Rage, Poison.....Any one of them can ruin your day, or your plans.
While there isn't a Null Ailment skill on the list to use, you can go for a null in each Ailment...Or, you can throw out Speedy Recovery to reduce the troubles on it.
Or, give them Instant! Recovery. [Which is FAR too handy]
If you have a healer, Instant-recovery is invaluable to keep them from getting Feared, Enraged, etc.....
And if the healer has Salvation, and instant recovery...[See saiga], then they can cover a team's Health, AND for their Ailments. ^^
And that was my two cents. owob  

[Rednal]

Hey, Necro. *Waves cheerfully* ^^

And yeah, like he said, raw damage output isn't the only thing that matters. ^^

I'm still sad about not getting to keep Korina's original build. *Mopes a bit*


Anyway, what's up? o wo  

[Necromonium]

Yeah, actual numbers doesn't matter as much in this.
The only ones that tend to matter, are Tiers.
And with the current updates, it's a lot easier to figure out.

All in all, it's about having funnnnn.
=D  

[Rednal]

Manliness Tiers =/= Power Tiers... I think? o.O

But yeah, 'tis about having fun, really. XD  

[Necromonium]

Rednal

Manliness Tiers =/= Power Tiers... I think? o.O

But yeah, 'tis about having fun, really. XD

[Man's World Power Tier Catalog]

Yeah, that's the updated Tier List.  

[Rednal]

I think I'll have to double-check on that... ah, well. ^^ 'S all good.  

[Necromonium]

Dude, I can screencap it.
It's over in the Power-Tiers list.
If it was just manliness, Dojima'd be MUCH higher
And Tezuka'd be mentioned by name  

[Rednal]

Screencaps aren't necessary. XD Having two Tier lists up at once is just confusing me, though.  

[Necromonium]

It IS The most recent one.
En did change around how he set it up and all. It gives us a pretty clear example of how strong people are.
also, ASDADAFSFGASFDASD.
*Keeps forgetting about Gift I got from En*  

[Rednal]

So... your character goes up in the Tiers, and mine goes down. o wo Lovely.

I'm sure there's a plan, I'm sure there's a plan...  

[Necromonium]

Hey, at least Rednal and Aselia are on the same tier now.
owob
There are changes all around.  

[Rednal]

She'd better not be. = w= She got a bonus Tier as a prize during one of those bet things, and I'd hate to hear that well-earned prizes were suddenly being tossed out.
