I understand that forces do less damage than other classes, jarl, I just don't think cheap weapons should be used by anyone online. If they're acceptable, then everyone should be able to use them.
You can't make exceptions. Stick to your ideals of play.
And Kefka I completely agree with what you say. Forces that do not support are bad forces, but there are a few things to consider here:
1. There are kinds of support that are not support techniques. Force attacks may not do uber high damage but their speed and stun time is useful if your party is lacking in a needle weilder.
2. Just as jarl says, when a fo is not needed for using support techniques they may as well do all the damage they can simply to speed up the run. You don't wand a slow run now, do you?
3. Forces who pretend they can equal the damage output of other classes in normal play are not useful. But a force doesn't need to pretend they can deal damage, at least some damage can be dealt and should be (when theyre not supporting) it's the timing that's essential.
What really marks a bad fo is someone who cannot alternate between various tasks at a rapid rate.
"A Force that does not support is a crappy Force, that's not debatable."
Correct, it's not a debate, but when not being needed to use support techs not dealing the possible amount of damage is time-wasting.
Act in the apropriate manner according to the situation.
