It's been such a long time since I played this game that I barely even remember where to start. I've scoured the internet of course and I certainly remember which character class I enjoyed playing but I had forgotten all the little details about stats, section ID item specific drops, spells/immunities, etc. So some ideas on which of these two to play would be really helpful.
I know that I am going to play either a RaCast or a RaMarl. I loved Ranger back when I used to play the game and I seem to remember Rangers being the best class for soloing. Yea, I prefer to solo. I know, I'm the plague of the MMO world I like to play with people, I like having them to talk to, I just don't want them in my game
Anyway, the question is, which one? Having access to shifta/deband/etc is a big thing for a solo player but I also remember RaCast having several immunities to status effects, being able to see traps, as well as technically being stronger, or something like that. It made it so you could carry less items in your inventory since you didn't have to worry about getting shocked (was it shock?) or poisoned (again, was it poison? I forget). Of course it also meant you didn't need to worry about running out of said items and ending up in trouble. Looking at you computer room boss thingy who loved to shock me so much. Traps were obnoxious also and I barely remember even using them on the RaCast, but those immunities/trap sight were such a nice thing to have.
Of course RaMarl is apparently better for having spells, I read that she might be the best soloer in the game? Not sure. Lots of debate on her and one of the hunters I think.
Any ideas between them? It seems to come down to convenience vs "best"? Either way, I would be willing to play either, I just prefer to play the better one to avoid wasting a ton of time.
And of course there's Section ID. I remember this giving me such a headache back when the game first came out because there were no guides. Ended up having my RaCast in Whitall (or something like that) because I liked that color. I don't remember if that was a mistake or not...might have been? So what do you think is the best Section ID for the solo ranger enthusiast?
Thanks in advance for the advice, hello to everybody. Can't wait to get back into this game again. Especially Ruins, pure nostalgia goodness with that music.
