The purpose of this thread is to discuss the working and mechanics of the world of Log Horizon. For example like what each class and sub-class is used for and how to utilize them which surround the Jobs, skill, and the game system. The manga/novel spoiler will be allowed, but they must be clearly labeled and tagged.

Here is a link to the Wiki entry which list the 12 classes to help spark the discussion. Make sure to click on each class name or symbol for more detailed information.

Enjoy!

P.S. You should also include in the OP the wiki entry for each job and usual build. Don't have any other reference until the RPG book comes out!

**monir** · 2013-11-07, 00:57

Link it to me Myssa and the portion that needs to be added, and I'll edit the opening post accordingly.

Office filters blocking access to the actual wikicontent (so I can't actually SEE the stuff), but you can start with this link and go from there. It's for the Assassin class by the way.

Thanks. I linked to the Wiki entry for anyone who wants to familiarize themselves with the classes. Dark Wing can edit the opening post further.

Thanks guys this will be a big help for those of us who don't have access to novel translations!

Good way to spend my lunch hour browsing the wiki.

Keroko · 2013-11-07, 18:06

This page seems to have a lot of information on the classes. Unfortunately, they're all in moonrunes, but if there's any people with moonrune description skills... well... pretty please?

JemmyRuna · 2013-11-08, 05:11

I love the way the class and sub-class system works in this anime! They do really well to portray how it works!

My favourite mixture is Akatsuki's, but to be honest if I were in Log Horizon, the class I would play would be Kannagi, I like a mixture of ranged DPS and supporting, plus it jsut looks damn awesome xD!!! I think my sub-class would be chef, and not jsut because it directly affects the taste of food XD!

kuroishinigami · 2013-11-08, 05:24

Kannagi can't dps lol. Kannagi is damage mitigation type healer. You're probably thinking of Enchanter(shiroe's class), not Kannagi

Keroko · 2013-11-08, 05:34

Not really. Kannagi have specific builds that allow them to DPS, most popular being the "War Maiden" which focus on using movement speed buffs and placing barriers on yourself to strike with exorcism skills. You'd be gimping your support abilities though.

Another build is an Archery-focused one, which indeed combines decent DPS with decent support skills.

Enchanter is the class that can't DPS worth squat. They are literally stated to require party members to be able to finish fights at all.

But when they do have a party, hoo boy.

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-11-08, 08:15

So just to be sure I got this right...

Guardian = Sword and Board tank
Samurai = two handed warrior
Monk = dual wield dodge tank
Assassin = dagger rogue
Swashbuckler = sword rogue

??

Hohoho, you''re very wrong about Enchanter. The Sprinkler build from enchanter is one of the strongest one-on-one magic DPS build there is :P, and they are technically part of the 3 magic DPS class. I have to admit, I haven't look at Kannagi build that much so I'm quite surprised they can act as DPS since they're supposed to fulfill healer role.

MeisterBabylon · 2013-11-08, 09:07

What is the "mage" class in Log Hora?

And is it wise to speculate that a Cleric/Warpriest is effectively a Paladin (divine combat magic, plate wearer, carries a buckler and defensive augments himself with divine shields?)

Sorcerer.

The third mage class is Summoner.

More or less. Samurai is also considered a tank class.

True, but the sprinkler build relies on a very, very specific item/skill build that shouldn't even exist to begin with. And since it is literally a one-trick pony, its also very easy to counter.

Healers being able to deal damage if they spec for it is nothing new. That's called being a hybrid. It's a bit of a balancing game, less healing for more damage, or more healing for less damage.

We have no idea what the War Priest subclass does (and remember, comparatively few subclasses have any combat value at all), but if you want bubbles you're better off looking at the Kannagi. Clerics are nuke-healers, but don't seem to have much in the way of bubbles.

Estavali · 2013-11-08, 12:04

Just ran through the class datasheets and noticed that Mamare has already mentioned what were the original classes (aka the ones in the US server) replaced by the Samurai and Kannagi in Japan: Pirate by Samurai, Medium by Kannagi.

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-11-08, 12:45

....Isn't swashbuckler suppose to be pirate

Still, I feel rather unsatisfied >_>

i think Ranger(frontiersman) makes better sense then Pirates for the US server.

Quol · 2013-11-08, 13:16

What is the weapon for pirates, since i have seen them using swords, guns and many other types of weapons.
