Part 105: Mediator

I liked the quote and all (that's why I bought it in the first place), but at the same time, it just felt weird to be using it when I wasn't the one who reduced Teta's death to a mechanical spectacle. Like I was trying to steal credit for something I didn't take part in.

I'm sorry; didn't realize it'd meant that much to you.

Eh, it's not that big of a deal.

But, in memory:

Job Dissection: Mediator


Warrior who battles by talking to the enemy. Uses clever 'Talk Skill'. Monster Lang. ability.

code:
EQ: Knife, Gun, Hat, Clothes, Robe, Accessory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INNATE: Monster Talk

HPM:  80 | MPM:  70 | SpM: 100 | PAM:  75 | MAM:  75 | Move: 3 | C.Ev: 05%    
HPC:  11 | MPC:  18 | SpC: 100 | PAC:  55 | MAC:  50 | Jump: 3 |
Pros:
+Can recruit enemies
+Alters Brave and Faith
+Instant AoE sleep
+Gun'sbraster

Cons:
-Low stats
-Talk Skill is generally inaccurate
-Bad MA for having an entire skillset based on MA

Mediators carry several unique functions. Aside from special characters, they are the only class that can improve Brave and Faith or recruit enemies to your side. They also get guns and Equip Gun, if you want to shoot people a lot.

I mean, besides guns and Mimic Daravon being instant AoE sleep, Mediators don't do much in battle. Mimic Daravon is really inaccurate without good MA, even. All of Talk Skill is.

Put Talk Skill on a Wizard and make enemies yours, I guess. Unless you're doing one of the three unique things Mediators are incompetent at fighting.
