You could do either Sharpshot first at 10, or stormwaker ... both magic and rngd are a pain to level up, (later levels magic not so much because of blm and whm auto's being used alot. Sharpshot can solo decently if you have shock absorber/replicator/ and some evasion attachments on him... just keep some auto oils on hand and try to take some hate off him every once in a while if he gets to low.

Personally i did him first, and i wish i did storm waker first. but to be honest, solo'ing those early levels back then wasnt as easy as it is now with FOV buffs. so you should be fine either way you go. which ever you choose first though at 10, do the other at 20, and leave VE for 30.

VE is ok... they really need to revamp his dmg output, or atleast make him more solid for tanking ... as it stands right now, very mediocre.

But yea good luck with your leveling!

Sometimes it's a single nuke that matters, and that's what I meant anyways. Also, pups can't choose which nuke is being used and that's a downside as well.

That's kinda true, but not true. Let's make an example!

If a monster has a normal magic resistances to all elements, then the automaton will case the highest tier nuke it has (Blizzard V)

If a monster is resistant to an element (Ice Elemental), then automaton goes with next highest spell to cast (Fire V; which happens to be weakness)

Honestly, idk what the automaton would do if it was against a monster that absorbs magic damage with no kind of elemental resists... Most of those kinda monsters, I'm either on SMN or BLU >.> I think that, since it's not resistant to any certain element, it's still cast... Only locks up on casting when you throw it into debuffing mode and monster is immune/highly resistant to all status effects.

I should see if I can get this geek mode switch set to perma off...


What do you mean by debuffing mode? Also an annoyance i have with the blm is when it refuses to cast crap other than drain or aspir >.> I mean I could resummon it so its hp/mp are full but ugh. It has enough mana, it should just nuke! XD
