Oblivion > Golem in Shining Soul. Golem > Oblivion in Shining Soul 2 but that one's just a matter of damage preference

golem is for chumps
oblivion is for champs

I don't think you're giving the Dragonute enough credit. It has tons of potential, it just takes a lot of effort to reach, unlike the Brawler or Dark Wizard which destroy everything right off the bat. I was thinking about using the Ninja, but it seems like it has too many useless or redundant skills

i played a dragonute once. it was a major disappointment :/
no matter how heavily i invested in his VIT and DEF he could not tank nearly as well as i desired
i felt like he died a lot more than my brawler (this is back on normal mode when he could take more than three hits with dying) and priestess and dealt a lot less damage. eventually i just gave up on him. :<

I'm using a Dark Wizard mainly, but I'm using glitches on it so it's even more broken than it would normally be. Second to that, I'm using a Dragonute which is pretty epic but you have to distribute skill points really widely so it's hard to get the Flail skill up. I played with the Brawler, and it was fun but it's not my favorite, even though it is the best character along with the ??? Dark Wizard.

as soon as i saw your avatar i was inspired to pick up my old knife brawler again and get him through advanced mode

i've never been quite sure how to feel about the guy
his specials are unbelievable, bosses never last more than two hits against it
but his regular attacks deal pitiful damage and miss all the time, no matter how much DEX i pile on :/
they'd be good if they actually landed consistently, 'cause they're so rapid most enemies can't react between blows
and he can't take more than three or four hits without dying
if not for his hp regen ability i don't think i could stand to use him

but the special attacks, dear god. it almost makes up for everything else

what class are you playing as now?

Shining Soul II is one of the best RPGs of all time in my opinion, I just started playing it again for like the 50th time and I can't put it down

hey, a shining soul II avatar
let's be excellent pals
