Not Just Support

[Scott Bull]

My FOnewearl survives well in a battle, using a HOLY RAY.

Saving 20mins ooff a time, how long does it take you, I can do it in 23mins and get an SS-Rank if I have a good team.

A Force can start doing something else than support only when full support is already cast (D/S/J/Z/Resta/Anti).

A Force should not let the team without full support more than 5 seconds, or then you suck at supporting, and therefore are a bad Force.
And you should immediately Resta anyone with less than 50% HP; don't wait, don't think "I'll do this 1st then Resta them", RESTA RIGHT AWAY. And if you're a male Force, Resta Merge is compulsory.
Anti can sometimes wait for a few seconds, but not for Confuse and Paralysis, you must heal those status ailments right away.

And online, unless you're doing Forest, Cave or Temple, you're not gonna deal any consistent damage with a Force, so you'll just be hindering the Hunters and Rangers if you do anything else beside supporting, or worse, damage cancel them (annoying even outside C-mode on some tough quests like PW#4).

You have to know when to attack without hindering the other players, it's also part of your job, so either attack one monster that no one else is attacking, cast 2 or 3 (NOT more) Rabarta to freeze some of them or use Megid on monsters weak to it in Ep2 (don't hog).

Important note:
Preventing megid-spitters from firing is basically the FO's job, so use Razonde, Rabarta or Rafoie to prevent Ob Lilies, Deldepths, Del Lilies and such from spitting Megid.

That's very inspiring.

I used to be the worst force ever. When I first started PSO, I did all the wrong things: I did frequent damage cancelling (so that's what it's called) and I used to do join games where there was already another force, and then cast my low levelled s/d over the higher s/d that she already cast! :$

[C.O]

When I play with my FOmar, I always cast S/D so everyone always has it on. Since he's only in hard, I don't cast J/Z so often only on bosses and Pan arms.
I keep healing everyone and make sure I always have damaged all the monsters to get exp.

[Scott Bull]

I rarely use J/Z but I commonly use S/D.

By the time I've casted J/Z, I would have been able to tw*t whatever I'm fighting anyhow.

[Schoichet]

i always s+d, but i NEVER j/z... monsters dont last long enough if you have a good team. also my FOmar can do about 200(each normal swing) damage to ult ruins monsters, not much compared to a hunters 800, but more then enough to be more worthwile then spaming tp waisting ra-spells.

also, how do fullsuport forces get any exp? the way you say they should play they would only hit about 1 monster a room (depending on how meny megid casters there where)

[Mirinee]

Enemies which are j/z'd give you experience, right?
Monsters don't last that long? You must have really good teams, good for you. And you have that amazing FOmar which not everyone else has . I find jellen usually more useful. In the ruins, it really does start to hurt.

[Hrith]

Yes, if you're not in Ultimate or if you are doing easy areas/quests, Jellen and Zalure might not be that crucial, but later, they are, especially Jellen.

btw, always Jellen first, then Zalure.

Mirinee, on GC/Xbox/BB, a weaker S/D/J/Z cannot overwrite a higher one.

And Mirinee is right, Jellen or Zalure gets you experience.

Ermm thats why im a HU

[Schoichet]

by good team i mean a normal ult team, evryone ~100-~150, usealy more then one force and at least one hunter (i have been in a good team with 4 fomars, i meleed, one nuked, one healed, and one s+d/j+z. it worked beter then most)
