Question of the day = whats up with the -rep for mentioning dizz has a 200 fonewman? Seriously are we third graders? /endrant
And some people that play a lot are still bad players. It is a circular logic that we don't need to get into.
The point of playing PSO is to have fun right? I play a FOnewarl and I honestly will never equip a weapon on her. Not because she cannot melee at all, but because I decided her role is to be support. I roll with a glide, resta merge, all lvl 30 support techs and Sacred Cloth so i dont get paralyzed vs. lilies. I love it. If someone is rollin with Demons and whatnot, great. You helped your other teammates kill something they were going to kill in like 5 seconds anyway. But I am not going to argue over who is right or has the "best setup." I mean.. I have an excel spreadsheet with all my characters and a plan to max all the important stats including current matusage for example and target mat usage along with current mag and the mag i need for when i ding lvl 200 so it isn't like I have no idea what is going on.
I prefer to think of each job as a rolefiller. If you play other Mmos then you know that not all classes are Damage dealers. Some are tank, and some are Support. If you solo a lot then maybe the melee is more useful but in a party I think it is more than acceptable to let the FOs blow stuff up and support and let the RA/HU do the damage
