04:42:20 [nathanbp]hey Sam
04:42:50 [nathanbp]I figured out there is a less stupid way to buy weapons/armor in SD3
04:46:03 [Puyopuyo]Oh?
04:47:08 [nathanbp]when you go to buy it if you can equip it then it compares it with the person in your party who can equip it
04:47:32 [Puyopuyo]Ah, right.
04:52:29 [nathanbp]also I've discovered that no many how many healing items I buy it's not enough
04:52:36 [nathanbp]although maybe I'm just terrible at fighting
04:53:16 [Puyopuyo]Who's your team?
04:54:13 [nathanbp]amazon/thief/magician
04:56:49 [Puyopuyo]Lise, Hawk, Angela?
04:56:53 [Puyopuyo]Sheesh, you have NO healers.
04:56:54 [nathanbp]yeah
04:57:04 [Puyopuyo]Durran, Carlie AND Kevin can all heal...and you ditched all of them.
04:57:21 [Puyopuyo]Well, play to your strengths. Angela and Hawk should be able to deal a lot of damage with their skills.
04:57:30 [Puyopuyo]And Lise should be able to tank hits decently, especially with her buffs.
04:57:32 [nathanbp]wow these 3 never get healing spells?
04:57:42 [nathanbp]do Lise and Hawk ever even get magic?
04:58:09 [nathanbp]I'm guessing you never get the chance to trade off?
04:59:11 [Puyopuyo]No. You picked your three.
04:59:26 [Puyopuyo]Hawk and Lise do get abilities when you get to the class change.
04:59:32 [nathanbp]what kind of crappy magicians don't get healing spells!?
04:59:33 [Puyopuyo]But you've got a rough early game team.
04:59:42 [nathanbp]I demand a refund.
04:59:46 [Puyopuyo]Well, as Angela isn't your main, you missed her backstory.
04:59:58 [Puyopuyo]Where it's established that she's a spectacularly crappy magician.
05:00:02 [nathanbp]I got that part, yes
05:00:54 [nathanbp]I should have picked Carlie....
05:01:21 [Puyopuyo]They're a really powerful team once you manage to class change.
05:02:29 [nathanbp]"In 6 more levels, you might not suck"?
05:03:18 [nathanbp]really spamming healing items is fine
05:03:21 [nathanbp]just running out is a pain
05:04:06 [Puyopuyo]It tends to be.
05:04:16 [Puyopuyo]And nah, in 6 levels, you get pretty powerful.
05:06:58 [nathanbp]is there an explanation for what stats do?
05:07:06 [nathanbp]besides str = damage and vitality = HP?
05:10:11 [Puyopuyo]Strength - attack damage and tech damage
05:10:11 [Puyopuyo]Vitality - defense (and a bit of HP), most important stat for anyone really
05:10:11 [Puyopuyo]Agility - was supposed to increase hit/evade, but those were not implemented properly so it has little effect. Supposedly triggers the "dodge" animation more often, which does help you evade attacks. Powers up the ranger's/rogue's trap skills, ninja's shuriken, necessary for ninja to learn all four jutsus. Makes the trap wheel move slower.
05:10:11 [Puyopuyo]Intelligence - powers up magics, ninja's jutsus, evil shaman's demon breath and wanderer's poison bubble. Gives characters higher resistance against spells powered by intelligence. Wanderer needs it to learn some spells.
05:10:11 [Puyopuyo]Spirit - powers up Heal Light, Holy Ball, Saint Beam, Lise's and dark Carlie's summons. Gives higher resistance against spells powered by spirit. Gladiator needs it for two of his sabers, and wanderer for some of his spells.
05:10:12 [Puyopuyo]Luck - more OK's in the trap wheel, has some effect on which of an enemy's drops is found in the chest. Reduces the timer for timed status conditions. Supposedly makes a character more likely to survive a spell with 1 HP. Was meant to increase critical hit chance, this does not work though
05:10:23 [Puyopuyo](From a GameFAQs topic asking the exact thing you were.)
05:11:08 [nathanbp]wow so I wasted like 5 points in agil :(
05:11:12 [nathanbp]thanks Sam
05:11:21 [Puyopuyo]Hawk is actually interesting.
05:11:32 [Puyopuyo]In that if you go light route, agility powers up his skills.
05:11:52 [Puyopuyo]If you go dark route, intelligence powers up his skills, BUT HE NEEDS 5 points of agil to learn all of them.
05:12:01 [Puyopuyo](And they do NOTHING but give him those skills.)
05:13:34 [Puyopuyo](Oh, sorry, Dark Hawk's Shuriken is powered by Agility)
