BingeHooligan posted:Is anyone else worried at the amount of berserker risk players? I feel like there definitely isn't going to be enough to go around. Two years ago was my last fiesta and I remember people getting two and three, and with the donations now it doesn't seem feasible. I was actually just thinking the same thing. Right now less than half of the berserker risk players are going to get a berserker. If you can give your money in now rather than pledge it for later, please do so! If you're going to take a berserker from the pool, please give one in!

I'll throw in 5 berserkers. It's not much, but there are so many Riskers in need.

If I reregister for a run, the new run overwrites the old, right? I was thinking about handing off my potential Zerk to someone in need, given that I have no money to donate.

Really, anyone doing a No750 run barely needs the Berserker Risk, since they have a 50% shot of getting one anyway.

KataraniSword posted:Mystic Knight is kind of a slow uphill climb until you get Break, Drain, and the -agas. It's not really as overpowered as it's sold as until you get 2/3rds of the way through World 2, which is pretty late in race standards. The big thing about mknights is that they're boss killers through and through. Most of the bosses you encounter after getting them have a weakness to exploit for quite some time, and that's where they shine, but it's usually not worth the extra turn spent on random encounters. When it comes to overall playing speed, a mknight might as well be a quicker, weaker knight that can't equip knight swords.

If you don't berserker risk, doesn't that remove Berserker from your pool entirely, no matter what sort of run you're doing? I know last year it worked such that if you wanted a berserker chance at all, you had to take risk in pre-reg.

Hahahahaha no. The only people who can't get a berserker are 750 and FF1 runners.

mango sentinel posted:I thought Berserker Risk had the chance to replace any of your crystals with a Berserker, not just Water Crystal. I'm kinda fuzzy on this. That's correct. So you can end up with up to 3 berserkers if there are enough to go around. Unfortunately it seems like there may not be enough this year.

Even if you have Berserker Risk, you can still roll Berserkers normally. All the donations do is turn that random chance into a guarantee for some players.

It's been years since I tried FFV, so I don't remember what the deal was with Berserkers, but I fired off a tweet with BERSERKER RISK because why not.

Lost Rivell posted:It's been years since I tried FFV, so I don't remember what the deal was with Berserkers, but I fired off a tweet with BERSERKER RISK because why not. All axes have highly random damage and miss 15% of time. The best axes have around 85 attack while the best swords get over 100 (and never miss). A berserker first action takes extra long due to a coding issue. Your other character will get 2 turns before your berserker gets its first. Berserkers have terrible agility so they just act slower in general. Berserker have less strength than both knights and monks. That beings said they aren't that much of a dead weight thanks to the game being decently balanced.

To be fair, the stated attack power of an axe is misleading, as they also ignore most of the target's defense. So 'zerkers have that going for them, too. The major drawback, really, is the auto-attacking.

Also, their ATB gauge continues to go when they die. It's always nice when reviving a Berserker to have them attack instantly.

Also, the two best axes have 90% hit rates. Also, they get one of the best and earliest sources of instant death in the game.

Edward_Tohr posted:The major drawback, really, is the auto-attacking. Their skill list is also pretty bad, !Berserk and Equip Axe are both extremely situational unless you have a truly poo poo-rear end (Random?) party that can't do any damage. I really can't think of many classes with a worse skill list, even the melee guys with a bunch of non-outstanding filler. !Steal opens up a ton of extra loot, HP+30% is at least useful most of the time, etc. Baku fucked around with this message at 10:21 on Jun 9, 2014 |

Sure, !Gaia is MP-free, but most jobs that can make use of it will be using it for that economy alone, and the two passives are worthless as long as you have a Geomancer on your team... which you invariably will, given that it's a Fiesta. A White Mage or Time Mage might make use of !Gaia to do damage until they get Holy or Comet, but after that, it's forgotten like so much other chaff.

At least Equip Axes can be useful if you roll a Monk for Wind and don't have other Equip Weapon skills (like if you roll Geomancer or Ninja/Dancer or are doing Random). There's enough good end game axes too to make this viable. And with Death Sickles, Equip Axes is probably viable for longer than Gaia.

The infographic says that Monk/Berserker/Beastmaster/Dancer is "infamous" and I've heard people say it's considered the worst roll, but considering Beastmaster can do great things with Catch and whips are pretty decent weapons wouldn't Geomancer be a worse result than Beastmaster? I mean Equip Whips boosts the Berserker's agility a tiny bit at least, and Equip Ribbon isn't a terrible ability either really, whereas Geomancer wouldn't really give anything useful (especially to the Berserker).
