Though if you want stun power, you can always just rearrange the party and go Arb/BH/HM/Occ to use all three of your strongest stuns.

Originally posted by LaserGuy:Rank 1 BH is fine. Especially avoid rank 1 BH because he can't Flashbang from there usually, an Arbalest party is also taking Occultist, so you're going to want BH's good stun available so you can help keep that Occultist safe. You definitelty don't need BH and HM in there alongside her to put her to good use most enemies will die from two mark-synergy attacks (if that), and the ones that don't are usually the tanky size 2 enemies that would be able to withstand three. You might get more benefit from Hellion (better stunning, SPD, and range) or Man at Arms (ACC buffs and better protection).

Swap out Vestal for Occultist and rearrange the party to Arb/BH/Occ/Cru and you'll have a pretty good party, although it isn't a spectacular party for Crusader since he can't use Holy Lance and is outclassed in terms of reach and stunning power by other heroes. Doubly so in this party as you also have Crusader for potential off-healing.Īs a consequence, she's a perfect pair for Occultist since she dramatically reduces the risk involved in Occ's 0 heals (by having her own reliable heal for situations where Occ drops the ball) and benefits from Occultist having the most cost-efficient mark in the game. You therefore would want to switch out Arbalest (because her gimmick of decent off-healing + mark synergy is no longer relevant) or Vestal (because you clearly can afford a more useful healing-capable class if your party already features an off-healer). You basically never want to use her alongside (backrow) Vestal since backrow Vestal takes on all your healing needs in exchange for being quite terrible at anything else. If your party doesn't need an off-healer, then there's minimal reason to take her over another class.

Arbalest is a pretty straightforward class: she's an excellent off-healer and decent in a mark party.
