Battle Tactics

[Heman]

Just want to see if anyone will share how they plan to dominate the other teams -_^ As for my team like like the first team my team is going to face will be a joke, due to them having 3 monks. If one of thier members besides a monk is late they wouldnt stand a chance =)

Oh I know, but they have 3 MNK's and some other jobs like BLM. and remember you can have 4 reserve so they blow away 2 reserve spots by making that mistake

Re: Battle Tactics

It would be dumb to name a team exact tactics for their possible opponents to read.

Re: Battle Tactics

BRP's got it right. But I suppose people who are not participating could go ahead and chat away.

I've been looking at the Japaneese Ballista Royal Videos for some pointers for next year. I've noticed a tread of mages walking around with Earth Staves, but not much in defensive armor, which might be a mistake on their part.

Sleep Coverage seems like a defautl, but now with more resistances against bard's sleep, that might not be a factor anymore.

I did not see to many ninja's in the later game, I wonder how that might effect players in the current area. Thieves I saw, many of them made good used of Hide, Flee and Sneak/Trick, though I am not sure weither or not they used them together or speratly, as the action camrea did not focus long on them.

Items are a must for any class, melee or mage, especially fast potions for curing. Somtimes spells are not quick enough.

Strang that Mages and other sof targets do not get picked un as much in the Ballista Royal as they are in normal Ballista. They are still more or less easier targets, but it looks like heavy melees focus more on knocking out heavy melees first.

Paladins were non-exhistant throuout most of the trounaments, I suppose the damage dealing aspect is more important.

Warriors and Red Mages were staples in some of the best parties in there, as well as the occasional bard. THough I did notice that most RDMs that carried a dagger or sword did not make it past the server finals. Warriors typically had Axes for Rampage

I'll post more info on the Japaneese Ballista Royal as I think of it.

Re: Battle Tactics

booo, giving out the goods hyrist.

I use Earth Staff in 60 cap, but not in uncap. For uncap I use Dark Staff because bind and sleep are harder to stick, however it is easier to live through weapon skills. Thats all I am saying right now.

Re: Battle Tactics

Watch the videos of the JP balista royale fights. Especially the winners =p. Good idea to get pointers or counters.

There have been some changes since the update, but shouldn't matter that much. Most effect SMN and a certain abuse.

Some things to watch on.

Items, lots of it

Utsusemi is near worthless, it seems, unless you're a ninja.

Earth/Terra Staff is your friend. From every mage to rngs. Wanna a see your taru blm get spawn raped? Not a good thing to happen.

Provoke the whm to keep them from healing for a time 0.o

You can't cast Utsusemi unless you're a ninja...
