[Teh EkwEE]

While I don't have BB I will agree that you know you can't fully melee, as a HUne or RAmarl you can't fully nuke. Class specifities are made for a reason. I can surmise that it's not even possible to fully create one for damage/special purposes without the right equipment. For what I've heard, the Viv is an essential wepon if you wish to play as a melee FOney, as I'm reduced to EP 1&2, I'm stuck playing with a Double Saber, not a damage dealing wepon. Nor with a hit%-less one, I'm stuck with sub-par ATA, even on a mag that I would plan on maxing out with. So it goes for stealing the TP or damage. Again, it comes down to necessities, what do you need and what can you get rid of? If you're meleeing as a FOney, you need the ATP and the ATA, this will cut off your TP majorly, especially material usage, because instead of playing 'Today's Rate' for TP Materials, you'll be hunting HP Materials. That will hurt the players usefulness as a FO. I find complete nuking fun, when I control it. I have two melee FO's a melee RA, and a HUne, and I find nuking when I'm playing with my brother who's a HUcast is more satisfying than playing with some of the others. If I'm going to be relegated to a support role, I'd rather be spectacular at it, than mediocre at it. This is why HUmars and RAmars are known as 'n00bmars', they're mediocrity (sp), they're "Jack of all trades, master of none." With PSO, the middle ground never suffices. That's why you'll never see a succesful Tower run with a HUmar. Why use them when a HUne can do what they can tech wise times two? What a HUcast can do in damage times two? What a HUcaseal can do hitting times two? That's the question you need to ask yourself. Do you want to be mediocre at what you like to do, when others do it better, or fantastic at what you were made for and have time better spent in that area. Some would argue that "Well RAmarls were made as RAngers and are good at melee." This is a moot point. You wouldn't see a RAmar purely tech casting. Just like you wouldn't see a FOney strictly meleeing. Therefore your definition of melee is merely a support FOney who can hit with specials. This is nothing new, as FOnewms can even make very decent support characters. And I've actually seen some decent at melee, case in point Rico_Royal. But realize the difference. Support is SUPPORT, which mean they do mostly R/A S/D J/Z and then may hit an enemy or two. That is not melee, there is a difference.

The rare dropping is something you want to clear up before hand, if you call the wepon, and are playing with a team (And especially if they're reliable i.e. members of this forum
