What's the opinion on which is best? Is it subjective on what your character needs? Or does the extra ATA, TP reducing and resistances make Adept the clear winner over the C/Ability raw stats? I'm torn over this lol I need some incite from you all if you had 3 of your 4 slots filled which of these 2 would you use and why? Seriously interested in seeing answers here.

Solved

But... but... I want limiters too!

Name:Cael Thunderwing Age:30 Preferred contact method:(here and Skype) Hobbies:PC&Console Gaming, Tinkering w/ Older PC's Picture:(if you really want one i'm only giving my online persona's image not my real self A little more about your self: well i had just finally dug out my dreamcast after finding a cheap GD-ROM laser replacement and got a 56k modem that worked w/o needing a line voltage simlator, to only see that DC-Talk's Dreamcast v2 server is all but dead, schtack's Closed for good (i had finished reading on what happened about an hour ago.) and that most surviving servers are Blueburst only (aka no dreamcast Connections ;-; bummer as thats a few CD-R's wasted.) Looking online it seems that Ultima's the only one thats Active w/ more than a staggering handfull of players. PSO was my favorite title in it's hayday while the offical servers were online and before the issues that brought schtack's down (dead Server hdd then the flamewar against chrono leading to it staying down for good) i have heard theres english patches to play PSO2 but i'd rather stick to what i remember best ^^;; it'll be a nice change of pace from what i have been playing the last few months (Warframe/FFXIV) and hope i'll find it mostly what i remember stil about here on this server (well i'm sure thers changes than what the offical server was like/what the last time i played on schtack's was like)

adept :"L cause it sound more sexy then cent abili :""L

"He... shall awa...ken..." What manner of Kafkaesque nightmare have I wrought?

The real question is centurion/arms versus adept. And the answer is usually adept for noncasts and c/arms for casts.

yes, adept is a must priority to all classes, but still, chability is very good. adept stronger

We'll don't be lazy hunting Luck material. Just do it on happy hours But I will say Adept the useful unit I ever use. If you use this setting V502,Adept,V101 or cent/battle,Smartlink

depends on the exact situation (i'm sure you could argue in some instances that cent/ability is a better choice) but mostly I would go with adept all things considered (those resistances <3)

I'd say adept.. you seriously can't pass up that 20 ata. The resistances and 25% tp reduction are just the cherries on top. The best thing cent ability has going for it is the 30 luck which, while great, can just be made up in luck mats. I also don't think 30 to every other stat is that big a difference. I only use cent abilities to max out my fomar's stats. All my other chars don't use it.

I can't right now.. but will do as soon as posible

Aunque no veo la cuenta pues mejor estar pendiente. Como ya se habia resuelto el problema en el topic, lo cerraré, pero gracias por comentar.

buffing enemies won't make things go well at all, rebalancing is going to make things go as they should, although ep 1 enemies are really weak compared to ep 2 and ep 4 enemies, and like you said larva, ep 4 is not quite played by most people, mostly just for hunts, but the quests that can get you rewards comes from ep 2, i saw most event items come from ep 2, so if ep 2 is going to be the hunting event episode, it is ok to have tougher enemies, but let's face it, hunter and rangers are in no way balanced, rangers have a complete advantage compared to hunters, DM+Cent Battle makes things go ridiculously fast, 930 ATP for a ranged weapon is something stupid, also DF compared to TJS is a joke, why bother hunting for a SJS if it is going to take all year to get one, better just wait for xmas event i bet you have better chances of finding a pgf and making it a xx/xx/xx/xx/50 DF, and SJS if it drops, it will almost always drop hitless, and TJS stock ATA is pretty low compared to DF 50 hit, TJS should be accessible to new players, since SJS is not an event item, since every event we got a really powerful new item, there is no point in making or hunting old items, Virus Armor could get a boost, nobody i know of nobody who actually has made one, Iron Faust is a good weapon but hunting one with good % and hit makes it worthless, DM has the upper hand against every ranger weapon, and is 2 in 1 gun, you have Rianov 5 penetrating ability and also a shot weapon, Rianov 5 and Iron Faust are worthless, Rianov 5 incredibly high rate of dropping one is one thing that discourages people in hunting it, also it is just mainly for bosses, while Iron Faust can be used against bosses and big hordes of enemies, still is no match for DM, also DM let's you fill the PB at an incredibly high rate, there are alot of items that went into oblivion, people give it a few trys and never gets one so they get discouraged by the fact that it is really tough getting one, buffing enemies more than they are is going to make tougher for newer players also hunting for new items is going to be a real pain in the ass for those people that doesn't have the right gear like the people that ask for tougher enemies, normal items like SJS/TJS could get a lower drop rate, so people can actually get one while they wait for events that usually comes with really OP items, Virus Armor Lafuteria and From the Depths could be changed to a boost when equipping both at the same time, like DB's equipment or Flowen's, making Virus armor and FTD like Kroe's for males, since both items are 150+ lvl requirement, eliminating FTD confuse status ailment, giving +10 ATA like Kroes and giving nice resistance, let's face it everyone that has been in ultima for at least a couple of years now use STA and RR, having 100+ res in EFR, EIC, ETH, and 80+ in EDK, ELT, Iron Faust has good ATP, what around 500-600 ATP?, Arrest Needle could be made just for human rangers, since i saw once that it boosts ATP by 500 or something like that, and DM could be 400-450 ATP, making players choose which weapon they want, i understand DM being like the ultimate Ranger weapon, but Dark weapons are so common now that it feels like the cheapest weapon in the game. Clearly what Ultima needs is rebalancing and stop making OP items and buffing monsters, those things just make things for new players just tougher.
