Don't get me started on the speed of Gravity Pillar + Diagonal Chase + CS: Fission. All I do is Ion Thrust or Q: Concentrate, maybe I haven't gotten to strong enough monsters using but anything else feels awfully slow.I agree completely, first job was kinda boring, because hell, it's first job. Second job was amazing, the skills worked very well together, and Quicksilver was a very fast and satisfying move. Third job however is just... meh. Combat Switch is terrible, and deciding which one to use is just picking the lesser of 3 evils.
I also feel Q: Takeoff and CS: Fission should link together seamlessly. They do not, at least for me, I can get the combination to work 50ish% of the time. Overall, I just don't find Xenon very fluid in the way Mercedes or Hayato feel.
Oh, and it's a minor complaint but sometimes I feel Xenon's Flash Jump is too powerful and it lacks height to give it a healthy second bounce, maybe I just need more Jump.
Combat Switch: Explosion is boring as pomegranate, just standing there holding the button down and doing that silly and retarded looking backflip every time, it looks silly and feels silly to use.
Combat Switch: Air Whip is completely useless. Only one hit doing minor damage, it's only saving grace being that it does more damage to enemies in the air.. but newsflash, you generally one hit normal enemies with Gravity Field anyway, and Gravity Field doesn't work on bosses. this renders the entire skill pointless.
Combat Switch: Fission is just annoying. another "you are not high enough to use this skill" spam attack that isn't useful ANYWHERE.
The only good things about 3rd job is that you get Diagonal Chase, which gives some much needed vertical movement (which Xenon's flash jump is terrible for), and the Emergency Resupply skill which restores Supply. And of course Manifest Projecter, which I like because it doesn't have a buff duration.
I'm really hoping 4th job is good, because Xenon is kinda dividing me here. When it's good it's amazing and fun, and when it's not it's boring and spammy. It started out fun and ended up being a "hold down the shift key" class in third job.
