salamans are one of the hardest bg to play effectively, but offer a deep strategic enjoyment. in ff fs they are usually run with norapearls build and no-spells. some nasty tricks can be pulled out with globule too. but having a split hero (jyx) and a semi-hero playable in split(berkchani) they can be run in splits quite effectly. lets try to find out pros and cons of each split version. the idea is a bg with 13 salamans 2x the ones with ignorance, then nora pearls, fs banner, and 15 other faction's runes, maybe a couple champs then all equip/relics: IS forgelamans probably the best one, as IS has a lot of tools in relics and equips. pro: -armory and forgehammer= high stats and very cheap equips. -magnet rover to planarbound everybody - granite bracers -guard tower -on Spot battleleader - heal relic - font bonus cons: - weak negative equips (only sigil) - bad seal KF forestlamans pro: -on spot commander equip coin - on spot altdmg and inhib seed - more weaken spells -cent banner - aurora banner - nice negative equips cons: -weak split bonus - weak equips - not many strong relics - few sinergies - weak seal ST frostlamans pros: - furry hat - ok seal - halberd - lonx thrower cons: no particular sinergy.st spells are stronger. UD firelamans pros: -jyx is ud too so opens slot for 1 more sally -ud dmg bonus -seal ok - ok negative equips cons: really weak relics, meh equips. SP rocklamans pros : - paperwings - nice utility equips (whip/harpoon) - a couple nice relics - sp and fs = nora cons: not any in particular but maybe not enough to run it? FW deathlamans pro: elsari bazaar elsari bazaar reap blade on spot dispel equip elsari bazaar a lot of strong relics and a couple good neg equips cons fact bonus meh undeads stink few stats pump seal meh SL sandlamans pros: tainted statue + nora pearls = no spells. rageband on jyx = tonsofdmg bloodthisty blade rng attack equips gifted battlemaster relic goodneg equip cons very aggressive set but fragile, glasscannon set. i would valuate IS>sl>fw>others opinions?
not sure actually. if is had a couple more negative equips, yes. at the moment i feel more comfortable with ff fs with poisonamp/globule module
