GLA and the PL

[waldo]

A few things I've noticed with 1.2 mainly regarding the AoE nerf to MRD class, I think to make the PL a bit less inconveniant. That said, I was riding around on my bird just chillin, looking at attributes and abilities and noticed I can put AoE fire spells from THM on my GLA. So I jump off my bird and cast Fire on a group of level 20 mobs, boom! One shot they all dead (800 damage each, small but my GLD only level 40). You can use Firaga on GLA too. So I'm thinking, a little MP gear coupled with a few materia to increase damage from spells and there you go. Of course THM can do this, but GLA can take a ton more hits to PL easily from 1 to mid-40s. People out there with GLA and THM at 50 and some decent MP gear try it and let me know your thoughts.

I think Overpower is being over looked. It is Conal AoE that has an extremely short recast but has the prerequisite of parry activating.

Seeing as while PLing, the MRD be tanking many enemies, youll be parry almost nonstop. Which means non-stop Overpowers.

Mobs are more likely to re-position themselves around you though making it more difficult to hit all the enemies with conal moves, not saying it's impossible though just requires a bit more effort and work to pull off.

Thanks Waldo! I only have access to fire (Thaum 31). But went to Nanawa to the 35 eyes and it takes 2 fire spells to kill the whole lot! was petrified for a bit but came out with 1700 hp left over. With fira might be able to one shot them. 3 levels away so I can't test. Easily can one shot 30 mobs with fire (one or two will have a sliver of health left if resisted).

Awesome!

Well I'm glad it works, if not if not for PL, at least for farming. It's nice for sure, I been pulling 5-6 toads at same level or higher than my GLA and spamming fire, easy exp/skins
