This is exactly what i was thinking. being a hucast is basically like having that s/d, that is being valued, at all times.
Yeah i realized i said it backwards in my original post. To your point, thats why i asked him why he insists on soloing. I know Im always hype to get people the bare essential gear. A lot of people are.
Now, working with the premise of "you're actually going to solo":
I STILL want to push back on the thought it is easier to find the bare essentials for ra than it is for hu.
Finding a smartlink was WAYYYYYY easier than unlocking my adept. Way easier than getting the v502 assuming youre soloing also.
heaven/arms pretty easy.
c/bat will be the sames
bombchu would admittedly be a problem
RR and WD are gonna be the same. he can even go for gratia if he wanted although that may turn out harder if soloing.
and being cast means you dont have to look for techs alone.
now, if youre saying "whats the best class to learn the game" yeah, probably ramar or ramarl. a littl bit o everything. but actually trying to solo the game will probably go better if you have the tools hucast offer.
Just my $4.20 cents on the matter.
either way good luck let us know if you need in game help
