HUmars, what do you think of them?

[Cosmos]

I don't see where this little "HUmars are for n00bs" myth came from. My first, and ever since best by far character is a HUmar. They're not exactly easy to start off with. Since they throw a saber in the arms of a HUmar and shove them down to Ragol with that, and it's not exactly a n00b thing to have to actually confront the enemies and kill them that way, or of course take a full five minutes to clear a room with the crap-damage and frequent missing of something like a handgun.
Humars are most likely considered "newbie/n00b characters" only because of their class description (misleading if you ask me) and the fact that they're the very first thing on the list for those who just press random buttons and decide to be dumb with everything.

They're well-balanced too, from what I've heard and read. I, for one, rather like those kinds of even statistics. True the HUmar can't use Shifta or Deband, but they can use Jellen and Zalure combined with their mag's Shifta+Deband capabilities. I'm not that big on techniques anyway, I just run on in and kill whatever's moving without a second thought.

I should stop talking now, though. I have a huge bias for my favor of the Humar, seeing as, like I said, my best character is one. I, of course, never speak with the intention to say that one classification is better than the other. They're all equal in a lot of ways, so debating such a thing is quite pointless.
