Edit: Wait a sec, even if we count PA and Spear DrKs as two separate classes (or at divided into least two different segments for hybrids) there are only 13 classes. Where are you getting 18?
Oh yeah, make that 2 people willing to play the Corsair then. Thanks for responding man, and my apologies if my (honest) criticisms about that comparison came across as too harsh. That's part of my nature. Add me to AIM; I forgot your screenname.
As for the 18 characters, that actually comes partially from the bonus features. The main video itself is 12 characters, then I made a perma-Beginner called Larry the Noob for comic relief skits, so he's 13. Then in bonus (or possibly integrated with the main video for a more direct comparison) I'm also building an axe Crusader, so he's 14 (this server doesn't have free SP resets, and its NX isn't cheap), and a combination BW/hybrid 1.5 WK for more interest, which makes 15. So for now the only really relevant ones to the video are actually 15 characters, which may change if I build others as well. The other 3 are "characters" that I was going to build for future Larry the Noob skits if he goes over well after his appearance in the 4th job video (none of which could exist in GMS anyway, as they are "uber" characters that Larry nonetheless finds a way to defeat).
As for the guy who asked about the DK, I built the DK as a hybrid who will use both polearm and spear in both the 3rd and 4th job videos, just for demonstrative purposes. The main focus will probably be on Spear Crusher and PA Fury (maybe more Fury in 3rd and more Crusher in 4th?), but I'll probably include just one demo of Roar as well, and a bit showing him using HB on a small party (similar to how I plan to demo the Priest's party focus). I can't include Sacrifice because I put the points into Spear Fury instead, reasoning that in 4th job, whenever Crusher w/ Berserk averages 65k total, PA Fury would average around 32k and Spear Fury would average around 20k, so 1 average Spear Fury + 1 average Crusher = up to 3 dead Skelegons. Even though it wasn't particularly liked on Basil, I'm still debating with myself whether or not to use the Purple Surfboard demo (level 95, Fast(5), 99 attack, +5 speed polearm) as one of the 3rd job video's bonus features. It's very impressive with Fury, especially against WS and Himes, but Fynl thinks people might consider it a little inauthentic since it's only in MSEA and not in GMS yet, so maybe I'll use that for the test recording and put it up as a separate video instead.
For the main video I'm still debating with myself whether to use a Sky Ski or Fairfrozen. I have them both, the current Ski being at 110 and the current FF being at 119. I like FF's look more and it has more attack and DPS, while the speed difference for Crusher isn't as significant as most attacks, plus Slow(7) vs. Normal(6) with Booster isn't generally as big a difference as, say, Normal(6) vs. Fast(5) with Booster. (My theory is that Crusher gets the same # of attacks as normal attacks 4 speeds slower, and speed differences are generally smaller at slower speeds.) So I may go with FF. It's all up to what would be more authentic for me, since this is mainly an educational effort.
