Need some help with subclassing in EO3. Current party is Princess-Hoplite Wildling-Zodiac-Zodiac. Z/B and Z/G are what I’ve settled on for the Zodiacs, but I’m not sure for the others. I was thinking Princess Ninja for evasion+instakills in random fights and Otori for tiger summon, Hoplite Shogun for endure and Wildling Monk for unbinding in a pinch. I already have status immunity covered from Prevent Order.
Also there are some straight up lies on the internet about Wildling, my god. You don’t have to dismiss your current animal to summon a new one, for example.

I would make sure somebody has otori if you're using a tiger, princess or wildling can work for that. Wildling/monk isn't bad for a backup healer if your princess has trouble pulling the full weight, I've actually used one like this before in a party with a princess healer. Blood Return can give you a partial TP refund if your summon goes down which might be useful if the summon is dying a lot. Wildling/ninja is also not bad for otori and for ranged ninpo that doesn't use weapon type. You can have a tiger out and still attempt to fish for poison/sleep without dismissing it for example. I don't think princess is really going to be dodging much with their agility/luck but I don't really know how potent maxing out all the evasion stuff would be for them. Beheading probably wouldn't be too good on them with their low-ish luck.
>>
>>583166957
Is Ninja/Princess a better idea then? The defense stat is near useless in EO3, I remember
>>
I focus on TF6 for a little while and you up and die on me. Good grief.
>>
>>583174147
my kaishaku missed
>>
>>583170007
Well, they'd be more squishy but would be way better at dodging things and inflicting ailments, along with cheap order skills if you build their class skill. I think ninja have higher TEC as well so stronger protect orders. They might have trouble surviving in the front row unless you feel like using kumogakure every random encounter. A backrow ninja/princess would make a good buff/support character though. You already have a wildling but a ninja/princess with the clone out is great for being able to buff the whole party in one turn for longer boss/FOE battles. There's nothing wrong with going princess/ninja just for otori if you want though. Sometimes the subclass might be for only one or two skills and princess has enough good things in their own class to keep them occupied. You might not want to grind up a new ninja as well.
>>
>>583170007
>defense stat is near useless
If you mean VIT, not at all
If you mean actual armor defense it's pretty overblown, it's more so that marginal upgrades of a few points of defense won't do much, but the difference between cloth and heavy armor of a similar tier is pretty substantial.
>>
>>583182169
Yeah, it's important to remember than even in the games where VIT is much stronger than equipment DEF, DEF is still important and can help cut quite a lot of base damage. It being less important just means it's not as vital to get the newest piece of armor the moment it becomes available, but you are going to want to upgrade sooner or later.
>>
>>583160465
I'm going to say probably not since Chasers usually don't follow counter skills iirc

Up to the mid 70s it's not so bad, and that should be enough for everything in the game anyways.
If for some reason you want to go to 99 you're gonna be farming pasarans for hours and it won't be fun, especially since the setup is so specific and requires speed micromanagement and a party member that can oneshot one with single target damage. Using the sea quests to go to 99 would take even longer but at least it's mindless I guess.

Star Devourer is slapping me around, I think I might have to grind up some more/rest some of my party to try some other skills. Which is a shame as this setup managed to get me this far.
What level do you guys normally beat it at?

>>583221960
Necromancers as business owners is a fucked uo concept. They can just give themselves a steady supply of customers.

>>583325492
About the level I get to it at. It's a tricky fight but as long as you have a way to block its fuck-off party wipe move as well as manage all the parts, it's fairly doable and enjoyable even in the 80s range. Good AoE helps a ton.

That would have been a lot funnier. Imperial, Highlander, War Magus, Gunner, and Zodiac. I'm going to have to rely on landing binds from the Gunner or Random Disease to work for defenses. At the when I get subclasses I'll be able to patch up some of the defensive holes.

I have a lot of love for Might and Magic 3, 4 and 5
They're much simpler and easier than Etrian Odyssey but they've got a lot of style and charm
The later games in the franchise (6 7 and 8) are also good though they change the mechanics to a more 3D style which I never liked as much, though as games they're good and a little more involved than the earlier ones
I played Wizardry 6 earlier in the year and liked it, though I made the mistake of jumping right into 7 after, not that its bad, i just burned myself out
I also wish more games did the thing where your character portrait changes depending what status affect you're afflicted with

need some help with eo3 classes,imo the starting ones aint that cool or strong?Ninja and swaschbuckler seems cool but guides say they kinda suck.and also ailments aint that great supposedly?any tips how i would build a ninja?
>>
>>583892334
EO3 has some classes that are a bit weaker than others but none are outright dead weight I think (maybe farmers aside), its usually more a case of your full party combination
what are you looking at running aside from the ninja
>>
>>583892334
Ailments/binds not being good in 3 is mainly a meme perpetuated by people because it's the first EO that has accumulative resistances, and they don't wear off over time like they do in later games. That doesn't make them any less devastating when they land and you can capitalize on them though.

They become really good Izuna/Beheading bots once you get subclassing, making them one of the best classes for dealing with problematic encounters in the game, amusingly enough

Don't blindly believe what some silly guides say, both classes are good and so are ailments.

Tombstone Vice, Poison Bomb in the early game. Wraith Dance served me well in the mid game and only tapered off in the late game. I'm sure you could do something fun with the counterattack skill as well.

>>583896715
>I was thinking zodiac hoplite,not really decided whether a monk or soverign,then maybe arbalest or gladiator,something like that
zod and hoplite are pretty plug and play so thats good. If you want your monk or sov to be your main healer then going monk and subclassing to sov later is best, though its not the end of the world if you do it the other way
With that in mind your ninja should be good for high speed picking off annoying foes once they get izuna, you could also mess with the mirage as a body to take aggro

What in the fuck? How much fucking grinding does the average person do? Sure I could grind till I live 3 hits each. I don't even have BiS equipment yet and my gunner and hexer both have 2 fate beads each to hope and pray the binds stick
>>
>>583969772
Most of the time I'm high 20s by the end of stratum 3. Even when I only use 5 members I'd only ever be 35 at the highest.
I guess most people just default to grinding as their solution to difficulty, and since Scylla's so powerful because of her gimmick it takes a lot of levels to beat her with raw stat advantage.
>>
>>583970319
I feel it I was level 39 my binds would all stick within 2 turns and I would just rape her with climax. It took 8 turns to get all binds on with 4 party members spamming binds every turn and I only got 1 fucking turn to use climax
My party is
>DH/DH/T/G/H
So it's not like it's a damage problem it's a "binds not sticking" problem. Debating buying another 2-4 fate beads for the DH and just hoping the binds stick since I'm dead in one hit anyways. The gunner and hexer already have 2 each and where the source of almost every bind that actually stuck
>>
>>583970895
>it's not like it's a damage problem
That's true, I was mostly referring to people who run more standard parties and can't come up with a solution to dealing with evasion disable bosses outside of grinding until the low accuracy one shot move no longer one shots.
>>
>>583971430
Just like keep her arms bound lol. Keeps the damage down too. I should be able to beat her once I actually get some new gear.

Wait does tec affect bind rate in EO2? I thought it was just skill level and luck has an extremely small effect as well. Why does the boss drop whip give tec? Doesn't that do literally nothing for DH?
>>
>>583978947
TEC affects a lot of shit in older games outside of elemental damage dealt/taken, like hit and inflict rate iirc
>>
>>583979692
>And inflict rate
Fuck. How important is it to pump to get binds off? More important than Luk? Is it twice as impactful than Luk since th luk accessories are doubled?
>>
>>583979890
I think even in older games LUK was more important for infliction chance. It's not until later on in the franchise (starting from 5 iirc) that you get shit like [Attacking Stat (STR or INT)*2 + LCK] which makes damage stat boosts almost always better than LCK boosts for offensive ailment infliction
>>
>>583979890
Found https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/943642-etrian-odyssey-ii-heroes-of-lagaard/faqs/73801/formulae which implies tec is useless for binds. It may affect hit rate but I rarely miss so it's just a dead stat. Also each point of luck is give or take .5-1.5% per point if I'm reading this right so it's more than I figured

So how are you meant to fight Golem in Nexus if you don't have Landsknecht, Ronin, or Hero? Just guess when it's going to use Reflection after it starts throwing it out randomly?
>>
>>583924278
use three necromancers, one has the wraith dance, another has grave and one has fierce shield.
have 3 wraiths up (tanky ones with zombie powder if possible), one of your necro uses fierce shield, another use grave targeting the defending wraith and the last necro uses wraith dance.
dunno if this works against post game bosses but i beat the eternal tyrant with this setup.
>>
>>584034396
>So how are you meant to fight Golem in Nexus if you don't have Landsknecht, Ronin, or Hero?
you fight it overleveled. it uses reflection randomly or maybe it reads your input so you really have to use stuff that bypass its gimmick like helm splitter, shock spark or insta kills.

>>584034396
Nightseeker and War Magus have untyped damage. Survivalist's force break makes him go last, allowing you to attack without worry for a few turns. They also have Quick Step but I think that was level gated to the last tier. Ninja's poison force break will give you a good few turns of damage that adds up as well.

>Nightseeker and War Magus
Isn't it Cut+Almighty for those? I thought those would still get weakened by its cut resistance.
>>
>>584042835
No, with compound skills it always just goes with whichever of the damage types will do more damage (in practical damage calc terms, at least). This means that pretty much any compound skill will rarely ever do less than full damage as well
>>
>>584043351
Don't let this confuse you in case I worded it poorly. For example, a cut+fire compound always counts as damage of both types, but if you were to use it against something that resists cut (50% damage) yet is weak to fire (150% damage), it will just use the fire weakness for damage calc and do 50% extra damage from normal. Of course this means you can't potentially hit a double weakness for 225%, but that would be a rare occurrence regardless of the combination and the consistent damage you get from how it works in etriam is overall much more valuable.

Finally got a salty runback on this bastard after 10 years.
I'm the same anon who was replaying EO3 with a wildling in the party here >>583156843. It was actually incredibly good, basically because of elephant summons. I'd genuinely say Hoplite sub Ninja is vastly overrated compared to the shit Wildling can pull off with high level summons and Wild Mastery. The funniest thing that happened during the run was having Drake chain confused for 7 turns straight all because of that damn elephant. Two Zodiacs worked splendidly as well. One Z/B for limit spamming and Swashbuckling to charge limits faster, plus Eagle Eye and Dark Ether. And a Z/G for Charge-Meteor spam. Can't forget to mention Princess/Ninja as well, as soon as I got the Dagger of Mercy on her, she was instakilling random enemies left and right in stratum 6. Still gonna go do the other two endings since I really want to see how Progenitor goes with this party. But damn, wildling is incredible.

As said in my original post, the party was
>Princess/Ninja (heals and status immunity, and Knighthood in a pinch)
>Hoplite/Shogun (honestly, Shogun subclass was kinda useless, but I did have Endure which helped out like twice in the postgame)
>Wildling/Monk (complete enemy shutdown via panic and binds, plus def and atk debuffs from Wildling's debuffs. And I needed the Monk subclass for the Anemone fight, full party unbind is basically necessary for that. Full party refresh was handy later too)
>Zodiac/Buccaneer (for Eagle Eye, Dark Ether, flex healing via Madoras which you shouldn't underestimate, limit spells you can use etheric charge on the same turn of, and Swashbuckling to charge them faster. Dark Ether also lets you use Wildling summons freely on turn 1 of random fights, elephant is busted because of that)
>Zodiac/Gladiator (for Charge+meteor spam, Wolf Howl rarely since ideally I had Primal Drums, Beast Roar and Eagle Eye already up for my debuffs so there was no room for Wolf Howl)
>>
>>584261704
>including abyssal god
Not so sure about that, at least from the perspective of being completely blind.
You could reasonably figure out pretty quickly the elemental nuke logic for Primevil, and from there it's just a matter of reducing physical damage and praying one of the disable moves doesn't kill you.
Ur-Child is a little trickier, but that game has the most busted items in the series so the answer to the class specific oneshots just becomes "use a Nectall II." I guess not having a method of preventing Begone could cause problems. There's just not a whole lot of strategy that has to go into fighting it.
Abyssal God on the other hand has some utterly unintuitive checks in its AI, figuring out that you need to start triggering its counter attacks in defensive stance to prevent the heal is absurd, and outright suicidal in later phases (without Knighthood). Then of course the matter of the elemental nukes being, for all intents and purposes, completely random to 99% of parties, you need to be able to block 2 or 3 elements a turn for any consistency, which there's little guarantee you can, especially since Zodiac's prophecies don't work on the turn he changes stance.
Overall I think that because Abyssal God's pattern is much more dynamic, and a lot of the abusable parts of it are unlikely to be figured out blind it's a far more difficult fight, even if it's easier to cheese than the other two just because of how broken 3 is.
>>
>>584266000
If we are including cheese I don't think anything beats revenge spam. But that said I don't know anyone who has beat the superbosses without looking up the nuke pattern. The second you figure out it's Simon says it's pretty hard to argue it's not fair game to look up a patter table
>>
>>584266304
If anything that's more of an argument for Abyssal God being harder, since his nukes aren't on a strict pattern like the other two. Thus even when you do know you still need a plan outside of "use X Wall on Y turn." But yeah, that's a fair point. Admittedly I played EO1 a bit later on, so by that point I was used to paying attention to turn counts for superboss fights. I might not have figured that out otherwise.
>>584266000
I also forgot to mention Primevil's buff freakout stuff, but I feel like that's pretty minor anyways, if a bit annoying for Troubadour parties.

i like the EO1-3 battle systems, with all their faults. always wish there was more than just one superboss. like 3-5 really tough fights that encourage the use of completely different teams so it's not a case of "ok i hit max level and beat the big bad, time to drop the game or start from scratch"

Yeah it's pretty impractical for most classes but the best whip and gun come with a passive that increases force gain which makes Gunner and DH's skills relatively spammable and they both buy you free turns. The catch with DH's is that you need three of a conditional drop from the pumpkin FOE on the 4th stratum (floor 17) and it requires you to kill them while they're fully bound but it's worth it.
>>
>>584294582
The catch is I would have to grind out 500k(2 DHs) and I really don't feel like doing that until I am ready to shit in ur child. With the ultimate weapons I could easily shit on the rest of the game considering im still using the ice whip from scylla

which binds class do you guys think did it best

Pugilist with honorable mentions to Hexer and Arcanist

if by "best" you mean who can land binds the most reliably, it's eo2's dark hunter since their force skill is the only one in the series that's guaranteed to land triple bind on everything.

Ah yeah I'd have to change the question in that case. Best as in which one felt like a properly designed class. I probably wouldn't put eo2's DH anywhere on that list because of how cheap those force skills felt.
Maybe it's just me but I like it when classes feel like you've earned that victory. Not an RNG fiesta but also not a free "i win" button. A balance? of some sort

I heard they fixed Beast in EO2 HD, is that true? Was thinking of playing the game with one.

they did not change it
but beast has always been a good damage dealer even with the way loyalty works

>>584387864
While true on paper 90% of players will never see it until post game unless they are specirically trying it out

Bind/Ailments not being guaranteed is part of the intentional push and pull it has with regular old tanking/healing, it would be dumb if it was super likely/guaranteed to happen all the time

it's pugilist then like this anon >>584386012 said
>>
>>584384303
Pugilist for me, though I'm biased that my recent run had mine coming in clutch more than once
>>
>>584384303
pugi, being able to force a bind with black mist was amazing
