JUDE'S PROFILE

I always wanted a Neo Geo when I was a kid. The matte black hardware looked really sleek and the games were so colorful. But the games were crazy expensive so that was never going to happen. Now, all of the MVS games worth playing can be acquired for other platforms really easily, so I don't see the point of this new device.

That party is even more obnoxious, making it clear that I haven't done enough to stuns and Spirit yet. The two together are unstoppable without an equally cheesy party that I also need to nerf. The party I came up with that doesn't flinch against Team Stop is 4x Troubadours with Meteor, Rapture, Detox, and Metabolize. One of the troubadours has Atonement to periodically dispel the massive Toughness and Willpower Channel and the Spirit's Harden start to stack up. I will probably increase the MaxAP on Warcry to 90 and add ~30 MaxAP to Paralyze, as well as tweaking the Spirit's resilience.

I find the equipment odd. There is nothing to keep people from just using the best stuff. This is probably something done in the actual Guild Master. Do you have to actually aquire the equipment?

Equipment charts were just generated programmatically from the placeholders I put in the game to test equipment. Yes, you do acquire the equipment in the actual game, from adventures, shops, and crafting.

Edit: Since I made the crafting system the other day, I now know how weapons will look stat-wise at various levels, so I have generated some sample equipment to choose from (Equipment). You can go back and edit your hero parties if you want, or I will fill it in automatically based on my own estimations. Because I have settled on equipment scaling, expect other numbers to change in the near-future as I see how it affects damage output and absorbance at high character levels (I anticipate a change to the healing formula, most likely).

Anyway, my determination for now has been to assign Paralyze a MaxAP value of 15, reduce Channel's target AP to 30, replace the Spirit's Harden with Protection, and changed Metabolize from Regen to a unique status similar to Bleed (small regen, scales with Magic stat, long duration, can not be dispelled).

You should practice your communication skills.

Your team is actually pretty hilarious, LockeZ. It has no damage, but after many rounds, Bulwark Bill can stun every other round. So at that point, if you get a few consecutive stuns on the healer, you finally win. Crystal almost beat you. They got your entire team down to less than 15% but then you iced Edge with some consecutive stuns, which prevented him from evading the otherwise slow-as-slugs paladins. Crystal is a pretty balanced group with a super durable Cecil/Rosa combo, but their only burst damage is Edge's Frostbolt which as a one-hit ability is incapable of penetrating the shields from Phasing and Parry. Having no group-wide damage, you have no answer to the Teen Titan's shadowling stacking which shreds your armor infinitely without an affliction cleanse. I also created another party yesterday that I didn't post yet because I was waiting for somebody else to participate, but this team was also strong against yours. They stack Flay and focus on magic damage, which your paladins couldn't out-survive without any form of Cleanse.

Anyway, your tank party defeated most of its opponents, but lost to TMNT, Teen Titans, and my Narshe Brigade that I'll post in a bit. The battle against Crystal was over a thousand combat rounds, by the way and the combat log file is over 4MB. I will upload the logs later.
