Myles' Mechanic Guide

Hmmm, so when/if do these other skills become obsolete for a Mech? If needed, state if it still has a use for bossing or whatnot.

-Flamethrower
-Atomic Hammer
-Rocket Punch
-Rock and Shock


And does Missile Tank mode actually replace Prototype mode for training once Laser becomes strong enough (max level or whatnot)? I can't really see Prototype still being used for killing mobs in late 4th job, although I still see Drill Rushing with Prototype before going Missile Tank mode and finishing off everything with Laser still very viable.

Also, what do you think is a good 4th job set-up? This is more training oriented since faster leveling = can become stronger = can boss better.

My initial idea once I hit 4th is place my 3 SP into:
-Extreme Armor
-Missile Tank
-Laser Blast

Since Laser Blast is already 852% with a 1 SP dip (good god damage + range makes my Buccaneer's Dragon Strike seem like total crap), I would then work on Extreme Armor until maxed, and then Laser Blast. From there, it'll depend on how much fun I'm having with just training if I want to get some bossing skills too.

-flamethrower is almost never useful (i only have it maxed because theres nothing else to spend the sp on, and gatling gets a decent boost out of the 2nd job skill that buffs both)

-hammer: i replaced it once i had 5-hit punch because i favor 100% stun and frontal range over marginal damage boost + aoe range. the 2 skills are essentially equivalent.

-punch (or hammer) doesnt become obsolete. whichever you prefer still sees use after gaining tank mode because you dont always use tank.

-RnS doesnt become obsolete until chaos patch (when its cooldown gets raped). the utility it provides compares only to Bots and Tots, but using both provides even more utility with no loss.

i recommend 1 laser, 1 tank, 1 robot mastery, and max extreme mech as highest priorities for 4th job. sg-88 and satellite safety are 1 pointers i regret having and would not have if i bothered to sp reset.

i just finished maxing extreme mech and am working up 5 each of laser and tank (book purposes) then prioritizing laser over tank.
