%Dmg vs FixedDmg Classes

[Pinhead Dipshit]

Really I just want to know which classes are which. I just hit 60 with three of my characters and want to start appropriately equipting them.

oh boy this could take a while. Let me check my source: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v6x5o2hOEk97XUYfm73W04Fcg3_4c0zkyfmVlhoFrvI/edit#gid=1944872435
...
Male Slayer: Blade Master/Soul Bender are %. Berserker/Asura are Fixed.
Female Slayer: Its all % here.
Male Fighter: Nen Master/Striker/Grappler: %, Brawler is a mix.
Female Fighter: Nen Master/Striker are %, Brawler is a mix. Grappler is Fixed.
Male Gunner: Ranger/Mechanic are %, Spitfire is mixed. Launcher is Fixed.
Female Gunner: Ranger/Mechanic are %, Spitfire is mixed. Launcher is Fixed.
All Male Mages: %.
Female Mage: Elementalist is %. Summoner and Witch are Fixed. Battle Mage is Mixed.
Priest: Crusader is Fixed. Monk/Exorcist/Avenger are %.
Theif: It's all % here folks!
Knight: Elven Knight is %, Chaos is Fixed.
Demonic Lancer: All % here.
Dark Knight: Mixed.
Creator: Fixed.

As a note: The divide applies mostly to late game content. I can tell you that thus far in my experience (up to about 60 or so) it hasn't made a huge diffrence. There are diffrent things to focus on in equipment based on each. IIRC the Fixed classes want independent attack and stats, while % classes care more about the attack rating of the weapon itself.

Again, it doesn't seem to matter that much until endgame apparently.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lancer is ALL % based? I was hoping the vanguard wouldn't be at least

Aside from that, most of these make sense to me. Thanks.

It tells you in your skill window under damage percent skills will have %.

Dont have to worry about gear at level 60 lol. Just use the m seals the scenario quests give u and ether get the growth haliberd or rent one from neo prem..

Honestly, until you hit like 80 or so, you wont have to worry about fixed or % based classes.

Even when you hit that level, the only real difference is with how mandatory reinforcing your weapon is.

That does seem to be true in general. % has a higher maximum potential, but requires investment of time/resources/TIME to get to it. Fixed has lower maximum potential, but is solidly capable even with middling equipment.

Also, most of a % classes basic skills (Lancer's basic 'stab this way', 'toss guy' and 'upper cut' for example) are Hybrid, so that you always have some effective basics at your desposal. (At least that's how it looks to me.)

The other diffrence tends to be that with really top teir gear (for your level bracket) a % class can have a wider spread of abilities and still devistate in a couple of skills, while a Fixed class needs to have a skill up to date to be able to clear whole rooms in 1-2 skills. (Lancer/Vanguard experience vs my FGunner/Launcher experience. Having a new weapon meant vaporizing people with whatever I used vs vaporizing people with whatever weapon I like on my most up to date attacks.)

And at the end of the day, it's mostly an endgame concern anyway. 'Find what you enjoy, work with it.' seems to be the order of the day here. I like it.

Say it louder, people seem to forget that this is what the whole point of any game.
