canas is back Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 who is the lucky guy becoming one (damn builds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) i honestly don't use any dark mages, so i wouldn't know. mages-->sages are better, IMO. EDIT: wait, they're not even in the same class set. anyways, i wouldn't use a dark mage when mages can use dark magic. i would rather have another hero or something. Maybe Ceasar. And Etzel stays a sorcerer. Edited February 20, 2009 by Ananke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Nick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 mages-->sages are better, IMO. Actually, Sorcerer IS the superior class. Magic isn't an issue since enemies have shitballs res, so the def/res matters more. Merric would love to go Curate>Sorcerer if the option was open. Sadly, it isn't. As it stands, Caesar's your best bet, but even he's kinda meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Draug if you want an earlier Dark mage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodykitty Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Caesar has the best Dark Mage growths, but Draug is probably the second best choice, like Levin said. While not going to be very durable, at least his speed will rise up quickly allowing him to double things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Cord, Caesar, or Draug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Nick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Will this Cord myth just stop already? Just...seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 How is it much worse than Draug? Cord has a 5% more magic growth, loses by 15 in skill, loses by 10 to speed, but wins by 10 in luck, and wins by 10 in both def and res. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Maji held his own pretty well in the earlier Hardmodes, for me :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 http://www.serenesforest.net/fe11/name.html According to this chart, Maji is Cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat Nick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 no? Cord and Draug have the same def growth: A big fat zero. Draug wins HP and spd. Draug wins. Also, magic growth is borderline irrelevant for mages since they rape so easily. Draug starts ahead, Draug stays ahead, Draug wins. Caesar also owns Cord in every possible stat possible. Freaking Linde is better than DM Cord and that should tell you something already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I know Linde is better than Cord, the maker of the thread did specifically want a dark mage. And the def growth as dark mage is the same, but if you want to do some reclassing to get the defense, Cord will get the defense easier (not by much though) I'm not saying Cord is a better dark mage than Draug, but he isn't that bad as one.

canas is back Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 so does having rank in tome allow you to use all tomes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Nick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) I know Linde is better than Cord, the maker of the thread did specifically want a dark mage. Not the point: The point is that Linde sucks and even SHE'S better than Cord. And the def growth as dark mage is the same, but if you want to do some reclassing to get the defense, Cord will get the defense easier (not by much though) Cycling through classes all the time, especially between mag and str ones, is likely to do more harm than good. but he isn't that bad as one. 30 HP and 6 def. If that's what you consider not that bad, I don't even want to look at what you think is bad. Hell, Cord isn't even hitting 20/20 so it's significantly lower.

canas is back Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 well, my second question is left un answered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodykitty Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Dark Mages use elemental magic. The only player usable magic people consider Dark Magic (which I don't) is Swarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Nick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Because you posted it while I was typing. And uh, A rank is the max, so I would HOPE it allows you to use all tomes. Won't work for gender specific spells though. Edited February 20, 2009 by Sweet Tooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) *mumble* I think that smart alternating between classes can help him to become better (especially defensively) You didn't give any arguments as to why it would be worse. You just said it would likely do more harm than good. and I think that Draug is even less durable than 30 hp and 6 defense at 20/20.

Dat Nick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) less defense, yes But he has, like, 13 more HP. And starts doubling faster. Edited February 20, 2009 by Sweet Tooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 There is only one kind of magic in this game and the last weapon level to be able to use all tomes for playable characters is B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Also, magic growth is borderline irrelevant for mages since they rape so easily. Draug starts ahead, Draug stays ahead, Draug wins. Explain to me then, why it is a terrible idea to shuffle between magic and physical classes to gain defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Nick Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Isn't it obvious? Str classes skew magic growth. Magic classes skew str growth. You'll have a difficult time damaging anything with either: Especially since the only reason DM's have sufficent magic is because they're getting it on every level up.

dondon151 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 But you said magic growth is borderline irrelevant for mages since they do damage against piss-poor res anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
