Got one. My issue is that I don't like the power down time on the Ra and
Gi level techniques, so I rely on plain Zonde and Barta for the speed. But
Gifoie is just too much fun, and after level 25 has that nice blast ring
animation added to it.

My Grants is only at level 12, so even with the Wiz technique slot item it
takes forever for the attack to take effect. By then the Hildeult or
whatever has already smacked me to the ground and taken my lunch money.
I gotta admit, my play method in PSO is kinda cramped in Ultimate mode so
far. Online, I tend to hang back and just heal and restore people as they
need it. Offline, I like being able to zap or immobilize all the nasties
in a room with two or three hits. Graphics whore that I am, I prefer to
look at the pretty landscaping more than actually participating in combat.
I haven't gone online in the GC version yet, but I understand that in
Ultimate mode you need all four players involved in the fighting to be
completely effective.
-KKC, who needs to blow some money on a wireless bridge to complete his
gaming network. And to buy a plane ticket to visit Mikhail Lubarsky, the
corrupt eBay seller from San Jose who wouldn't return my e-mails about the
bad Dreamcast Broadband adapter...
