i think mr.cat face is too cute for his voice

Ep 3:

An episode that show us more of the situation i ll say, i wonder if Shiroe will try and find a way to topple the Brigandia guild or will he just extract Serara ?

[jeroz]

*looks at the OP*

Loli maid is a combination that few can beat. Obviously the tyrant of Suskino has impeccable tastes.

Nothing should ever prevent him from getting whatever he wants. The whole world exists solely for his pleasure. Everything in it belongs to him. By rescuing Serara, Nyanta kept Demikas from claiming his "property," and so Demikas is furious.

Simply put, he is insane. Perhaps he was driven this way by The Apocalypse, or perhaps he was always this way, but the cause matters less than the result.

[RapidPotential]

Serara's boredom isn't helped by her overactive imagination.

This episode was pretty good, even revealing that Akatsuki happens to be the same age as Shiroe. Surely, I expected her to be in high school, not a soon-to-graduate college student!

She might max out her Maid subclass if Serara keeps cleaning!

On the other hand, I'm surprised that Akatsuki is a college student despite her size, especially with her b- *got smacked in the face by Akatsuki*

If LN info above is right she's still 3 years younger than Shiroe. But 20 years loli is quite funny in it's own way

Nyanta will headbutt that guy while using the angry Arucard's voice...

Spoiler:

Nyanta is a former member of DTP: so, he is level 90 and he have raid gear. Mr. Cat possibly is terrifing when angry...

Also when i mean trump card i dont mean any kind of KO attack that would not be possible for enchanters, i mean some kind of mega buff that he could give his team or an Aoe attack that slows down movement of every enemy within a large radius at the cost of most of his mp. Since most of the moves we have seen him do were simple binding attacks or a increase Atk buff, and being a lv90 enchanter i'm guessing thats not the best moves he has up his sleeves.

So i guess some kind of really cool move? -feels childish-

A worthy man is measured by how he uses simple tools to achieve great deeds =3. It might come as a disappointment to some but Shiroe sticking to so-called common spells while backing up his team-mates impeccably is a show of how good he really is as an Enchanter.

Also, from one of the LogHora cast, after episode 3: http://twitpic.com/dhxpda

[Tenzen12]

I mostly agree, but enchanter should have some high level spells, shouldn't it? And if not even one is as usefull as low-levels ones, it shows on quite unbalanced class. If Shiro can utilise these so neatly, why not big ones as well?

Only reason I can thing of is mana efficiency.

[FRS]

Could also be the cast time or the resist rate of the spell.

[Keroko]

Or that they didn't exactly need high-level spells for a boss that much lower in level than them.

The only offensive spell that I know that enchancter can cast is manager bolt. Can it be charge to? To increase the number of bolt like other bolt spell? The other spell is electric fuzz that sticks to the enemy or ground. It can be charge for additional damage but the damage output is still low. Its good spell because like what shiroe use it in episode 2, its bright that you can be easy spotted and it also block your view. Other than that is the sound. The buzzing sound and the bight light. It also sticks to you. There is no escape.

Those are the only offensive spell that shiroe has casted that can do direct damage. The other are astral binding for binding spell, astral hypno for sleep spell, nightmare sphere is a gravity spell that slows the movement of the enemy but still do no damage. Keen edge for additional damage on weapon. Mind shock to disorient and confuse the enemy. And the most useful spell so far is thorn bind hostage which binds the enemy and each thorn attack deals 1000 damage.

From the class sheet provided in previews post. Enchanter has low MP use that shiroe can spam spell in long battle raid.

His a full support character.

The teamwork so far is naotsugu is the tank, akatsuki the damage dealer and shiroe the support.

[Breimoon]

if they were to get a healer, the party would be a lot more balanced. That is 4. The other two should be at least a mage/summoner(though not sure if summoner can only use summoned beings or magic too, in WoW they can use a lot of dots and fears) and another melee for front fighting that is not an assassin(so a monk,swordsman or samurai)

And believe me, I've played a lot of MMOs, Korean ones to boot(and I can't recall any MMO I played that I didn't cap), I can't even recall the exact number of MMOs I've played anymore.

I realise that I'm replying to an old post made 2 weeks ago, but there are actually quite a few MMORPGs where you get get killed by a horde of low level mobs, even if you're fully equipped.

Some examples I can think off my head -- Runescape, Rappelz, Runes of Magic. Do note that the last time I played the latter two games are more than 4 years ago, so things may have changed.

So I feel it is ignorant to say an MMORPG is 'silly/non-existent' just because you can get killed by mobs 50-100 levels below you.

The OP seems to give plenty of hints.

A healer is indeed needed in any raid. As for melee. A crowd control character like swashbuckler would probably be good. While the guardian draws the aggro the swashbuckler builds u its attack within the crowd of mobs.

Having a summoner or sorcer would probably affect the party depending in build. The sorcerer probably has good crowd control spell by its probably aoe that the melee needs to withdraw or get hit by it. Summoner just let's their summon do their thing but they probably also had support spells for the summoned or chain spell just like in episode 2. Its not been cleared if its a sorcerer or a summoner is the one who cast the chain spell. Its different spell from astral bind of shiroe.

She's a romantic type. It's quite common. There are numerous girls, from adolescent to mid 20s, who dream of a romantic marriage life with their destine one especially if the man have some trait of a Knight in Shining Armor/Prince Charming. Take them to the extreme though, could end up like Maki Natsuo from Love Lab.

This episode was pretty good, even revealing that Akatsuki happens to be the same age as Shiroe. Surely, I expected her to be in high school, not a soon-to-graduate college student!

Hope she isn't lying, even the LN info is a lie. By that point, Shiroe already fall hard for her that it's too late for him to unlolicon himself.

The bandit leader seems to have a pretty sour mentality. He will never accept that he was bested and prevented from claiming what he thinks belongs to him.

I can imagine the bandit leader is in fact a four eye 12 year old kid IRL who always get bullied at school, now he is taking his opportunity the play the bully instead of a victim, and own everything he can't have IRL. If his guild members (who are grown men IRL) knows what he looks like IRL, they might question why they are so stupid enough to become this guy's lackey in the first place.

I hope there are group of people in Susukino who brave enough step up as Revolutionary Leaders. Of course, s/he/they need to form an underground army and they're probably scouting out for some brilliant strategist amongst them.
