HUmars, what do you think of them?

[tangwistel]

When I started out with PSO I was a FOmarl on DC and then a FOmar on Cube, and I never learned to melee because I was door fighting all the time. When I got to vhard and door fighting stopped working, I realised I had to develop some actual combat skills, therefore I decided to try hunters.

I tried to like the HUmar, I really did. I made several of them one after the other, but the best I ever did with one was level 17. I don't like their look (too samey) and more than that I didn't like missing. And I was missing quite a bit, even in Normal. There is nothing more annoying than swinging your sword at a bunch of stuff, seeing a red MISS and getting smacked. Since my first char was Pinkal I didn't have any l33t high-hit Hunter weapons to pass down either. That's why I eventually picked a HUcaseal - solely for the accuracy. I played her without tweaks, right from the beginning with a saber and mag, and there has not yet been a point at which she has not owned.

Back to the HUmar... yeah, he is very average. It's a shame. I find him a bit boring, really... doesn't excel at everything, doesn't customise very much (although he technically DOES customise as much as everyone else, I'd say that two HUmars of different heights, builds and costumes together still look much more similar than two FOmars)... and I don't like a lot of his animations either. That was my experience, though I admit that I only ever had a low-level HUmar.
