a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I've been wondering, how much it would affect the useability of myrmidons in an efficent playtrough if they promoted to rangers/nomadic troopers? First I though it would skyrocket but then I though that while it would fix their movement issues after promotion, it would still leave them with issues before promotion and they would still have range issues. Also as they would lose the crit bonus, I would see for example rutger being worse if he promoted to a ranger. All in all I would like to hear your opinions.

CrashGordon94 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It might be a cool idea for a second choice if we had branched promotions. Definitely would hate it if it REPLACED Swordmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Damn thats right. It would totally make them unuseable on efficent playtrought if they don't have the option to become swordlocked with medicore movement. Thank you from giving your opinion crash, it opened my eyes. In the next episode bantu soloes FE11. Efficiently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 :/ There's really no need to snap, I'm not saying that it's inefficent or anything else (Where'd the efficiency thing come from anyway?), I'm just saying that I personally would hate that as a REPLACEMENT because I find the Swordmaster class fun sometimes.

Notice where i said in efficent playtrought? Also I made you your very own topic. In FftF no less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It would a be a better idea. But, let them keep the Innate crit from SM. lol Rutger turning into an Ntrooper with 30% innate crit. Yes pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sorry, nevermind on the mentioning efficiency thing. But another thing, it's still no reason to snap like that and the changes you make for the intent of affecting an efficient run have an effect on everyone. Also, the second topic is an incredible and unnecessary overreaction. Don't get your panties in a twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I really need to point out how wrong this idea is on just about every level imagineable? Sorry, nevermind on the mentioning efficiency thing. But another thing, it's still no reason to snap like that and the changes you make for the intent of affecting an efficient run have an effect on everyone. Also, the second topic is an incredible and unnecessary overreaction. Don't get your panties in a twist. When the intention is to talk about efficent runs, comments like "I like Swordmasters" are derailment of the matter on hand. I deal with matters as they are, not as people consider nice.

CrashGordon94 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Except that's not even what you're doing. Even if my reply doesn't fit, your post is still an overreaction. You can overreact to a mistake too, y'know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narga_Rocks Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Stop the off-topic stuff. Take it to PMs. On-topic, Rutger gets ferried a bunch to do his crit-thing. Branched would be better for fe6. As for fe7, 8, and 9, I suppose they would be better off. Particularly where the cirt bonus is only 15 anyway. And then there are the games without a crit bonus...

The Awesomest Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Love and tolerate, Freohr, Love and tolerate... Anyways, yeah, myrmidons would still be inefficient I guess. Maybe give them an extra square of movement, like thieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think that a lot of people really love swordmasters despite their flaws, and if Myrmidons had the same promotion as another class, they'd lose some of their uniqueness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anouleth Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Mostly cuz dos (HM) stats! HM stats have nothing to do with how Myrmidons promote, and even in games where myrmidons did not get HM bonuses such as FE4 or FE5 or FE8, Swordmasters seem popular.

Thor Odinson Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Pretty bishies with long pretty hair or chicks with nice legs, generally. I do really like how overkill Lakche can get when not going FE4 efficient, though. But yeah. Basically what Narga said. Rutger's whole selling point is that FE6 bosses are bitches and 30crit makes them less of a bitch, so if he lost that 30crit, he wouldn't be as good of a bosskiller, which is the whole reason why he's so good. 15% crit in games with less annoying bosses does devalue SMs by a lot, however.
