Of course a SPR fighter wouldn't tank as well as and END fighter, but I'm just saying that a SPR fighter can still manage like an END fighter if they want to with more hard work put into (i.e. the both the fighter and the cleric needs to be alert about their health). I'm not saying SPR fighter will be able to tank as many things as an END fighter, but I had no problems going zombie king hunting with a full SPR fighter - and back then there was only him, me (the cleric) and another archer most of the time. I can't say that we didn't die at all (believe me, we did die heaps when we didn't the map very well), but we still managed in the very end.

Mind you, that fighter did do some amazing tanking once in a while at KQs as well - so it's not that hard if you're bothered to put the work into it.

By "trouble", I guess I mean the difficulty of handling mobs/the time taken to kill them/and maybe cost effective wise. Well, from what Dyna told me, it seems pretty tedious to solo as a full END fighter at high 30s and onwards. It seems like it'll take a long time to kill mobs (that gives decent exp at the same time), and because it takes long - they still get hits from the mob and they still have to end up using quite a bit of hp. Then again, I don't know what conditions he was soloing in (whether it was red/orange/yellow mobs o.o) so I'm not sure. However, I'm sure that applies to every class (that is, each class will have its own trouble. For example, a mage/archer will have to constantly eat a stone because one hit may take quite a bit out of them).

I also have something to say about cleric SP usage but that's a whole different topic so I'll leave it out for now.

On a side note, I don't believe a full STR mage = full SPR fighter, I think it's more like full STR mage = full INT fighter. D: SPR can be beneficial to all classes - so yeah. I don't see what's wrong with a full SPR fighter.

This is one of those times when I wish you wouldn't write out an essay. @_@

I'm not saying a pure SPR Fighter can't tank or do almost as well as a Fighter with pure END but he'll just never be AS good as the pure END Fighter when it comes to grouping. Why would you solo at level 30+? At that level you should be in CP partying. The EXP you get is better and the rate at which you get it is also better. Depending on who's in your party that is. Three Mages, a Cleric, and a Tanker = Ungodly amounts of EXP in a short period of time.

And in a case like that a pure END would prove to be far more useful and easier to heal than a pure SPR Fighter. Besides, relying completely on getting criticals is redundant. Its all a game of chance. Just like refining weapons. Except... refining weapons is rigged. Thats why I refuse to add SPR as a Mage and just go pure INT. I'm very unlucky and leaving something like that to luck would just end up getting me killed. Maybe he's lucky or whatever but i'm not so I would never even think about doing a pure SPR Fighter.

Actually, I kinda made a mistake. A pure SPR Fighter is similar to a pure END Mage. While they may prove effective in certain scenario's, they'll be less useful than a Mage with pure INT or a Fighter with pure END in others. Overall, it just depends on who you party with, how adept you are at fighting (spamming skills, potions/stones, etc.), and whatever else. Gah... too tired to really give a decent reply. @_@
