1) Thank you. This guild is my baby but a lot of thanks should go out to all the players as well. They were just as big of a help in its creation as was any other mod.
2) Hmm... The first thing that comes to mind is setting up defensive techniques with the following effects: Defend/Automatic Defense/Defensive Damage || Defend/Elemental Defense/Defensive Damage || Defense//Redo. Coupling each with Accuracy+.
Then for supplementary techniques you might want to grab Stealth-Sneaking Buffs, Dodge-Buffs, Agility Buffs.
Finish up with Awareness Debuffs, and Flee Debuffs for offensive spells.
This of course not mentioning the standard and necessary Damage and Accuracy Buff techs.
This is the thread you would need to look at for the effects I am talking about. These are for creating your own custom techniques, something that is the core of all characters in this guild. Cannon Techniques are currently being added in bit by bit. Another thing you might want to look at and plan for are
Perks as they give you small yet powerful advantages and allow you to customize yourself even more.
