Haha I come from a time where Redria was a must have section ID. I looked at the new tables and a few of the newer units from EP 4 and figured that Purplenum had the best Psycho Wand drop rate, a really nice overall drop chart and the Holy Ranger Trinity for trade potential and I'd be making a Summit Moon anyway.
I don't know much about PSO in groups or FOs in higher levels (my highest leveled character was a HUcast on GCN), but it seems like because of damage cancelling and ultimate tech resistances I'm mostly for healing, S/D/J/Z upkeep and the occasional simple tech on a stray target. Soloing seems to be resistance based...I see people nuking/using simple techs and others using Demon's specials (Bringer's Rifle) and Viviennes in EP4. Like I said I didn't play a FO in Ultimate on GCN, and yeah Vivienne looks like a really good weapon especially for a FOnewearl but are some enemy resistances so high that meleeing is actually a more viable option in BB in certain situations?
