More! I've been waiting to see your other favorites ;) raise your voice volume too bro.

[Deometris]

@wakkaboom1987 I'd rather not have my voice dominate over the game music too much. If you turn it up some should be able to easily hear me. As for making more vids, I might at some point. Far busier now days, and I'd want to play through the games again for my own footage, and to refresh memory of all the little details.

[Deometris]

@wakkaboom1987 But yea glad you liked the vids.

@Deometris I know, I started re-playing it yesterday after a few (more) years, I guess in the past I beated it 5-10 times with each character :)

[Deometris]

@tidusN1 Man talking about the game-play in such detail is really making me want to play this game again lol, even though I already beat it over a dozen times. Such a fun experience.

[Deometris]

@tidusN1 I know, I was talking about PvE as well. Still gets annoying even in PvE using all that mana for summons that can end up dying really fast. Also you forgot about the Warriors War Cry which can aoe stun/silence, insanely useful.

Yea obviously to some extent you can use the summons to tank but my point still stands their not something too reliable, which is just one of the reasons why the conjurer class isn't as good as the Warrior in PvE.

[tidusN1]

@Deometris I don't rely too much on them, what I was trying to say is that he always avoid melee fights, his pets are good to take a few damage and delay your enemy for a couple of seconds while you finish them with spells and/or bows/crossbows. Still, he's not my fav character as only a few summonable creatures are good.

[tidusN1]

@Deometris I was talking about PvE, but it's true that in PvP you won't have time at all to summon your beasts, while Force of Nature tend to be very slow for killing. In fact only warrior's grappling hook + charge are his best.

[Deometris]

@tidusN1 As for the summoning, it wasn't something you could always rely on and if you tried to rely on it too much would just lead to delaying you. Creatures require a TON of mana to conjure and while they can certainly be useful a lot of times, there were also times their AI would lead them to dying to shit like fire, spikes, a hole, a mob, or to just some insanely powerful shit that you need to dodge. You certainly couldn't just have them tank everything and not worry about your own health.

@tidusN1 It's true the conjurer has the most gameplay options, but most of what the conjurer's could do wasn't really too powerful, or as insanely good as what the warrior had, even when all combined. The warrior only had 1 row of abilities to use, but they were all incredibly useful abilities that made the warrior really efficient at killing when combined with their lethal melee. Also Warriors have shurikens to use for range combat which I found to be more effective than the bows/crossbows.
