Hucast Vs Hucaseal

[Omar]

I have both a HUcast and HUcaseal and love them both, but that is because most of the time I go more for looks than stats. Here is my analysis of the two classes:

Max HUcast HP: 1762
Max HUcaseal HP: 1380

That's almost 400 HP difference between the two. Most people will want a higher hp, so HUcast wins there.

Max HUcast ATP: 1639
Max HUcaseal ATP: 1301

That's over 300 difference in ATP between the two classes. As a Hunters high ATP is one of the biggest reasons for picking one, it is safe to say that HUcast wins there also.

Max HUcast DFP: 601
Max HUcaseal DFP: 525

76 difference in DFP isn't that huge, but it is still another thing that HUcasts are better in than HUcaseal.

Max HUcast ATA: 191
Max HUcaseal ATA: 218

HUcaseals win by a big margin here, with much higher ATA. 191 is still more than enough though, so the extra is only going to be noticed on weaker weapons in nasty areas.

Max HUcast EVP: 660
Max HUcaseal EVP: 877

Again, HUcaseals win by a big margin of over 200. Sadly, this is EVP we are talking about, so there are very few people who actually care about how high this stat is

In conclusion, HUcasts have better HP, DFP and ATP, whereas HUcaseals have better ATA and EVP. When you also take into consideration that the HUcaseal's trap growth rate is dreadful compared with HUcast's, it is clear to me which class is the better of the two. The only people who should go for HUcaseal rather than HUcast are those who will keep their character at a low level, not try to boost their ATA, rely on EVP to protect themselves and not use many traps (silly people ).
