Arbalist Job Thread (Rad/Ramza Skillset Update!)

nerdy mcgee · January 15, 2009, 11:52:22 am

as for the whole "rapid fire" thing, why not just have it like a ranged blade flurry?

Archael · January 24, 2009, 06:22:13 pm

Arbalist needs atleast 1 more skill

any ideas?

Dokurider · January 24, 2009, 06:28:04 pm

What if you had a skill that was so powerful, that it would destroy the crossbow you were using?

PX_Timefordeath · January 24, 2009, 06:37:56 pm

Wrath of the Arbalist
Shatters the Arbalist xbow(s), deals high damage with a very low chance of death.

Dokurider · January 24, 2009, 06:48:47 pm

What I was thinking was, that either it would be similar to Draw Out or it could have a 100% chance of casting Weapon Break on the Caster. That way, the higher your PA/WP, the more likely it would break your weapon.

Archael · January 24, 2009, 07:00:35 pm

no, something else

(reason: impossible to make 100% break user weapon without ASM right now, attack would have to be so powerful on borderline broken to make up for the unit's weapon being broken)

no

Dokurider · January 24, 2009, 07:08:13 pm

Somebody already suggest an HP Slicer effect? Or maybe a Dark Knight/Worker 8-like skill.

Dokurider · January 24, 2009, 07:24:01 pm

Got it! How about a Climhazzard-esque skill?

Archael · January 24, 2009, 07:50:12 pm

hmm

damage based on damage sustained by the target?

good idea

but might conflict with all it's other damage skills

Dokurider · January 24, 2009, 08:01:45 pm

Would making it inaccurate help?

Archael · January 24, 2009, 08:07:54 pm

sure

but it still conflicts with an otherwise 100% damage based skillset

Dokurider · January 24, 2009, 08:19:45 pm

Arrgh. I bite my thumb at it.

My only other suggestions are an Accumulate-type skill, an attack based on Reverse Faith Machanic of Malak's Hell Skill, an attack that poaches monsters, or an attack that does more damage to the undead. S'all I got.

Stop Break-
100% 1 Panel AOE auto-target himself (hit himself too) Stop/Petrify.

tithin · January 25, 2009, 04:05:53 am

Arbalists Desperation

The Arbalist summons a last, desperate burst of energy in an attempt to finish off a wounded target (50% or below)

Has a chance to backfire and deal the same damage to the Arbalist. Can only be used at below 25% HP.

dwib · January 25, 2009, 04:38:01 am

Point Blank - range = 1, high damage
Exeter - powerful, heavy bolt's recoil damages arbalist as well, but travels through walls etc., high charge time

Dokurider · January 25, 2009, 01:51:57 pm

How about a Difference like attack? Or an attack that deals MP damage?

dwib · January 25, 2009, 02:34:50 pm

Quote from: "Dokurider"How about a Difference like attack? Or an attack that deals MP damage?

from what i've gathered, attacks with a set amount of damage (climhazzard, difference, etc.) are too distracting from the rest of his damage based skills. i think that's what arch was saying.

Archael · January 25, 2009, 03:20:01 pm

yeah... he has tons of ways to deal damage with current skills

ANOTHER damage skill would become redundant

we need something ELSER!!!!!

Redux · January 25, 2009, 03:51:30 pm

So no buff or Debuffs, huh? I was thinking an 1.3 accumulate type set-up with lower speed? Could even give it +2 PA. A slower gather power. I think it would give the arbalist something to do if they are out of range.

Archael · January 25, 2009, 03:52:26 pm

no + stats

I don't think LD is having + stat stuff in here

hmmm

I wish there was a way to make a "Boost" ability like FFTA

that would be nice
