So lemme get this straight.... OP is bad, and its the classes' fault............
Hero isn't bad, I'm so tired of seeing this threads.
I HAAAATE plAying hero, because its literally easy mode.
You don't need to switch weapons to fill guage, using the same weapon swapping Pas will fill it just fine. Just doooo damagge...
This class does ridiculous damage, know how to dodge? cool you'll be fine.
cant dodge? hey you have a built in iron will
still dying somehow? you cn get more hp and defense! (hope no one is this far reliant on their skill tree for defense)
If you're having so much trouble switching pallets on controller, switch during your PAs. You can switch while an attack animation is going, and hit whichever button you use to swap as the animation ends,t here ya go. This is how I switch to my katana exactly as last nemesis hits my target, practice for literally 5 minutes and you'll be good.
This tho:
"TLDR: Hero is far too overwhelming, tedious and it's design is essentially at odds with the core gameplay design of PSO2."
breh..... if its overwhelming then idk what to tell you the class is just dodge, spam, dodge spam hero time....
there's nothing tedious about holding down rising slash or w/e its called like half the heroes we see or holding tmg autos and clicking brand new star after a dodge. its REALLY straightforward. The only thing at odds is appearantly your fingers and your controller
And I'm just waiting as every Scion/Succesor Class comes out. Waiting for people to complain about literal endgame classes being "a dissapointment" These threads are a joke, go play Fighter in episode 6 if u wanna talk about "oVeRwHElMinG"
