Advice needed for RAmarl

[tangwistel]

OK, first off I've been lurking here as a Guest for months, so I dunno if I really count as "new". I've been playing GC PSO for a couple of years, offline only.

I'm not good at this game -_-

My first, main and only character until very recently was a Pinkal FOmar (don't do this. EVER.) and I got into some bad habits with him, like door fighting with a Varista up until VHard Ruins. Shut up, it's not funny. I tech casted with him then until Ult Ruins where I am still getting pwned like a bitch at level 137, but that isn't really relevant to my current problem.

Soo... For variety I recently made a HUcaseal (to force myself to learn to melee) and a RAmarl. My difficulty is with the RAmarl. At level 79 she's just not doing enough damage in Ult Forest. I want to open up FoS so I can hunt the Frozen Shooter but I can't clear Native Research in the time limit.

Mag is a 5/145/50/0 Sato.
Weapons: Justy-23ST 20/15/0/0, Arrest Vulcans 30/0/0/25/35 (a gift from my FOmar), Guilty Light 0/0/0/0/15.
Slots: General/Arm++, Dragon/HP, Ogre/Power, Master/Ability.

As you can see, all her weapons are one hit only, except possibly one of them ("excuse me Mr. Tollaw, but would you and your fellows kindly form an orderly line so I can shoot you with this Guilty Light?"). She can kill a Bartle in maybe three hard/hard/hard combos of her Justy or two with the Vulcans, and that's not much good when there's waves of them. I'm reasonably good at dodging now thanks to my HU, I could probably do this quest now if it wasn't for the time limit. I thought of shots but the only one I have is a couple of Meteor Smashes with 15% to Machine and Dark respectively, and they're far too slow to be useful. I'm a long way from Ruins so I can't get Spread Needle. Srank Needle is not an option unless I cheat, and I can cheat but do not wish to. I may suck at PSO, but I've got this far legitimately. The only other thing she has is a Gungnir with 30% hit. And the one character who does have Ult Ruins access is a fricken Pinkal...

So what do I do? Getting God/Powers is not an option unless I steal my brother's Greenill HUcast who is only level 24 right now anyway. How can I kill multiple Ult enemies fast(er)? Am I missing out on a crucial Ranger tactic? Do I just level monotonously until I can do enough damage to the single targets? Or is there something decent I can get elsewhere that I haven't thought of?

Look for speacial weapon shots and maybe a God battle would help.

The speacial weapon shot that i use is Final impact.

It is easy to get and quite powerful but you also need to raise up a bit.

Uhh... the Guilty Light pierces, just so you know. It hits enemies in a line. Can you do something with that?

If you continuously end up in melee, I recommend piping an Agito 1975 (Pal Rappy, 1/21) with your FOmar, since that can become Orotiagito.

If you look for an Inferno Bazooka (Hard Garanz, 87.5%, I think, but not sure which IDs), that might help. It's slow, but its special halves enemy HP (or cuts to 1/4, can't remember).

[tangwistel]

I'm aware that the Guilty Light pierces (sorry, just edited above before I saw your post) but so far the enemies have not been, ah, obliging.

I have a '75 Agito, that's why my FOmar's such a high level. Sixty-eight Pals I went through for that thing. I never want to do a FiY run again... Unfortunately I don't think she's got high enough strength for the Orotiagito.

Final Impact... I'll have to see if I can get hold of that. Couldn't be any worse than the Meteor Smash.

My Redria's in Hard, so no God/Battle for me -_-


EDIT: Ugh, Greenill again for Final Impact. I wonder if my brother would mind if I just trained his HUcast up a wee bit... lol, he's not even out of Normal.

EDIT EDIT: No Orotiagito for Willow, her class can't use it at all.

[Namillus]

Are there any grinds on your weapons? That might be important.

Also, with the Orotiagito a no-go, I recommend hunting a Red Saber with your FOmar. Since RAmarls can equip it (I think), it can help you if you get stuck in melee. It's 1/829, Barble, for Pinkal. The Inferno Bazooka is 1/1050, Bartle, for Pinkal.

[A.S.]

Oritiagito is HUnter exclusive. And for newearls and RAmarls you should have two Mags, one with decent pow/ata (RAmarls are the best melee'ers), and a Mind mag to switch up. Launchers suck, try Rifles, Frozen Shooter works well for underleveled RAs then again thas for Hildetorrs and most IDs.

My first hand advice of this situation:

Don't use a dex mag if you are, you have all the dex you need from base stats, use a power mag.

Use two elf arms and two ogre powers or if you have better, use that.

find a Demon Laser. I know its not a propper rare, but youre accuracy will allow you to quater their health a few times with the effect and then a simple shot will finish them off. You could use the Justy 23st also, but its effect is not as great. Get some burning vulcans to finish the Sil Dragon.

your lv 79 at forest? no wonder you cant get the time limit!!!i was lvl 90 with a RAmar, and had a couple of minutes to spare. if i were you lvl up, use the justy, its gd and get a decent pow mag.

My RAmarl entered Ultimate in the low 60's, right behind my HUcast (I wanted to get FoS open to hunt Star Amplifiers). Surprisingly, both of them did about the same damage. I would reccomend trying to get a Delsaber Combo, it's a good starting weapon for Ultimate. Other than that, make sure you have decent Shifta/Deband, and always keep them on. Cast J/Z on enemies as well, until you can do well enough without J/Z. The support techs are REALLY important for a RAmar or HUnewearl (my HUnewearl just entered Ultimate and I'm using a similar strategy).

[Fabo Craven]

Ya my HUnewearol needs to keep s/d and j/z on all the time. I would expect it too be true for RAmarls too because my highest is lvl 47 in Vhard Caves. She uses Support techs more then resta. no dex on mags( unless its gonna be special). mine uses a 25/130/40/4 mag and it is great for any class.
