It’s that time of the week again! Not that time! *Wags Finger*
I would say I am filling in for Dannycteris the original Armsday Guru, but at this point I guess I’m holding the torch until he returns/until I myself need a break, whichever comes first. I am no guru but until he returns I will keep these threads going to honor him & his tradition.
I will try to get an in-depth video going, but like last week, the holiday schedule/work hours have me on the ropes (10-12hr shifts! Fun...NOT!!!) so it is unlikely. After December things should return to normal.
I apologize for posting so late in the day but I needed sleep.
My first attempt at posting this morning was literally gibberish.
FF15 came out recently, are you enjoying the game? Was it worth the wait?
Disclaimers:
All Armsday Recommendations are 100% opinion, & are not in any way a requirement to choose.
My recommendations are for PVE content. I do [b][i][u]NOT[/u][/i][/b] PVP frequently enough to have enough knowledge to make good/accurate recommendations for PVP rolls.
Finally, my PVE recommendations will lean towards static performance instead of situational performance; this is to ensure players who pick the rolls can have a gun that will perform the same in all situations & can be reliable.
If you see a roll that fits your playstyle better. Get it! These recommendations are mostly aimed at helping newbies.
Let’s get started!

[i]”This Holiday Season Omolon would like to remind you, that nothing brings a smile to a Guardian’s face like Omolon Experimental Technology. Guardians love gambling with death while in the heat of battle, and thanks to extreme live testing all Omolon cartridges are now 90% leak proof. Our latest advancement in sealants now guarantee that when you change cartridges, your new cartridge will probably have just as many shots. Also any exposed leakage is now 5% less likely to explode if a spark should catch it!
Omolon, experimenting with technology at your risk.”[/i]

[i]”Greetings! This is Mr. Hakke. Now I reckon you all have many questions for me. But I have one for you.
Ever shoot someone in the head & watch them laugh afterwards? Perhaps they wagged their finger back at you? If you answered yes to these...You’re obviously not using a Hakke.
Throw that ticklemitten of a gun into the nearest black hole & get yourself a Hakke.”[/i]
