Let's Play On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 (Part 2)
6We pick up our first set of class pins. The job system in this game is rather interesting as you multiclass rather than just entirely change your base class. No matter what, your characters will always have their primary class (Brawler, Scholar, Good Niece, etc). As you get further in the game, you will be able to add another pin to a character enabling triple classing.
I will go over the base classes later as we have not found them all just yet. Lets talk about the pins we have though.
Tube Samurai - I believe 'tube' is referring to a rifle but that is not important gameplay wise. This class revolves around taking certain stances that will increase a stat and make one particular slash available. A bit slow since you have to spend a turn setting up a stance. They tend to get bonus strength and I think agility.
Crabomancer - Tank class. Revolves around gaining hp and defense. Has defense buffs, taunts, and some moves that use defense rather than attack to decide damage.
Hobo - An odd class that starts out with hoboism (a poison effect). This effect gets nulled later on. Moves revolve around hoboism and doing more damage to those who have it as well as some powerful single target moves in the late game. Stat wise, I think they gain Strength
Gentleman - The cleric job of the bunch. Learn various healing and holy based magicks. Gains Magic Defense and Magic.
Cordwainer - Agility based job. Has attacks that are based on speed rather than attack. Has speed buffs as well.
Slacker - The Goof Off of the classes (Dragon Warrior 3 reference). Has no real useful abilities and provides practically nothing until the final few level ups. Only abilities worth while is the plus to all stats and the powerful aoe which are not unlocked till the final 10 or so level ups. Till then, its a useless class.
Elemenstor - The mage class though it does have physical versions of all elemental spells. Revolves around single target attacks and getting buffs in magic. But if you want a physical attacker to have more elements, this pin will work well with them.
