Hucast or Racast? - pink - 23-08-2005
I've found that playing as a ranger can get kinda boring... but if you do use a ranger I'd recommend either RAmarl or RAcast, because the RAceaseal is too weak and the RAmar may be strong and accurate, but almost ever other one of his stats fail... and he has the most useless spells in the game.
As for HUcast... you NEED something with good hit percentage if you want him to work, otherwise if you're slightly under-level for Ultimate all you'll see is miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, and then maybe BAM a good solid hit. So basically... a HUcast requires a more determined weapon hunter if you want him to be successful. If you can stand looking for quality rares with hit percentage, then the HUcast will be the right choice for you...
I really have no favourite between the two... so here's the decision...
RAcast: Can work well with any weapon you find. Great Ranger.
HUcast: Requires you to find high hit percentage weapons if you value your sanity. Disturbing power-house. If you play online, may you have a force on your team to make the no resta thing not an issue. Otherwise... keep the mates handy.

Quote:no Hunter uses guns, no Hunter should.Gandondorf uses a 20% hit Red Handgun+50. It's quite usefull. Especially in the Tower quests.
To everyone who said that Hucasts have great DFP:
Hucast, lv 200: 501, maxed: 601
Racast, lv 200 505, maxed 606
Winner by a nose.

ummm my huneweral uses a l&k 14 combat with 15% hit and a red handgun with 5 %, hit, my hucast uses a charge vulcan with 40% hit . and my hucast pwns cave and even mines ult at 102 with the vulcan

hunters with hit% weapons out do rangers. As for people who think hunters shouldnt use guns, you're only saying that because you know that if they do they will kick your rangers but!
The only reason it might be a bad idea with a hucast is that their special attacks arent as good, and vulcans are reduced (multi hitter) but you forget that charge cannot be reduced by either of the above reasons and so with good hit will always beat a ranger, every time! What would you rather have,someone who can accurately hit low to moderate damage, or someone who can fairly accurately hit extremely high damage at range? I know my vote goes with hunter, because theoretically if a hunter and ranger both have the same weapon at the same level with hit even if its mechs the hunter will still be more powerful.

You know what I think, someone should write a guide comparing. Has that already been done? o.o
Hucast or Racast? - A.S. - 24-08-2005
Whiteninja, I said 0.46% (not an exact estimation, D-U-H). HUcasts and RAcasts have = DEF, just like HUmar and HUnl have = ATA (7 DEF isn't a difference, neither is 1 ATA). HUcasts do not use guns, no Hunter does, if you use one, you are just showing you have no idea how to play as any Hunter. Once again-
Kekfa Wrote:1- RAmarl: can do everything, and do it well, can use the best weapons in the game, proficient with techniques, best solo char, average HP, high DFP, very high ATA, best EVP.
2- HUcast: 1639 ATP, other hunters pale in comparison. Average ATA, but excellent DFP and HP, and the best trap growth -- the God hunter.
3- FOnewearl: scorches offline mode, best support char, what a force is supposed to be. Megid > Ep2.
4- RAcast: a ranger that has hunter-like ATP can only be good.
5- HUnewearl: arguably best offline hunter (HUcast if you really like traps instead of techs), proficient with techniques. Average HP and ATA but has very good DFP, MST and EVP. Her ghetto FO abilities make up for her lack of efficiency in a team in tough areas.
6- FOnewm: Excellent offline, but not better than FOnewearl, falls behind her because of lack of support capacities. His average melee skills are worthwhile thanks to his 2nd best ATA of the FO class. Also 2nd best MST.
7- RAcaseal: Weak and no techs, her highest DFP is a waste, she is not a melee char. Her strong points are her HP and weapons she can use.
8- FOmar: Surprising char... excels in nothing, has lousy HP and DFP, average supporter too, and worst ATA of the game, yet can... surprise you. Not a bad tech caster.
9- HUcaseal: HUcast-- or RAcast(for soloing)-- up to you. She has excellent ATA for a hunter at higher levels, but it will never make up for her lack of ATP. EVP is not very useful when meleeing, and her DFP and HP are barely above average. Crappy trap growth.
10- FOmarl: Has good stats but uber crappy animations with over 80% of the weapons she can use. Good supporter thanks to double Resta, Anti, Shifta and Deband range, but low MST for a force. Best HP and DFP of the forces, but her animations along with her ATA kill her.
11- RAmar: Good char, but... anything he can do, RAmarl does better, so why bother ?
12- HUmar: Simply sucks, barely average at soloing and is more a deadweight than anything to a team, balanced stats, balanced grwoth, bleh.
Study the damn thing ... please ?

-_-.... ^=crap, i almost disagree on every one.
kefka is no different than any of us except he plays pso more. or is a harder worker to get to 200 (who cares).
thats his opinions but of course youre gonna call them "facts" even though i think hucast is sounding a lil better right now.
Hucast or Racast? - mdbrim2004 - 24-08-2005
Heh, again with the vs topic huh Sebastian? You know these topics are pretty much pointless. I made my point in the other topic anyway.
So here's how i see it, you want to shoot stuff, get the RAcast, you want to melee stuff, get the HUcast. Or you could flip-flop them, it doesn't really matter. Choose whatever suits you better. Basically you can do whatever you want to do with either character once you hunt down the right equipment. The only thing you can't do is use techs. I'm speaking of real techs, not techs from special weapons like S-Red's Blade
