Ugh. Calculators.

After playing through the game, I really regretted using a Calculator. So many boss fights went by in one turn.

I think the concept (basing a job after Level5Doom/ Level2Confuse) was great, but in practice, I thought it overpowered.

What are your opinions on the Calculator as being overpowered?

Yeah, it can be, but it also can take a lot of patience to use & put into good practice (having to constantly keep track of the changing parameters for instance). The Job Class itself suffers from lack of Speed, though that can be easily augmented by the fact that they don't have to move to increase targeting range like other Magic-based Classes, or, of course, you could just slap the Ability set to something faster (Ninja+Calculate=INSTANT DOOM FOR EVERYTHING). But that doesn't mean you have to use it either...the same can be said for Orlandu (and usually is, actually)...>_>

Indeed, a Calculator's range and technique is a bit farfetched, but if you consider the Calculator's low status, it evens things out a bit, with the exception of equipment and abilities. Well prepared, you can fight the whole battle with a Calculator, but worst case, s/he'll end up altering the playing field, depending on Magic/Time skills.

I loved using calculators.....they are one of the reasons i was able to get through a missons that gave me a lot of troubles....using flare with them was awesome....there were a lot risks when using them though i thought, there were sometimes when i would have to hurt my own units in order to do anything to any enemies (although if i had been a little more paitent in figuring out ALL of my options i could have avoided this) but ya.....i dont think they were too overpowered
