Advice on a Second Party - Page 2

I'd go Valkyrie over Lord if you plan for that character to become a decent shot with a ranged weapon. A Valkyrie (I find) has less skills in need of development compared to a Lord. If you decide not to have a ninja, you won't have anyone with stealth, so you could often attack at extended range in melee without any drawbacks.

Also you could try a Mook Samurai.

As far as I understood the DeamonMonkey he'd rather not choose any of Fighter, Bard, Mage, Alchemist, Rouge, Valkyrie, since his first party had those.
Never tried a Mook Samurai, but i'm not sure if he isn't going to pass out after a giant sword lightning strike

. Those Swords suck up stamina badly.

They're slow enough that you hardly ever get LS with them.

OK, no Valk, got it.

I thought maybe a Mook Samurai mainly for the extended reach, high damage, high KO chance. If DeamonMonkey goes ranged he'd be using spells and/or bows more often anyway, so stamina shouldn't be that much of an issue.

Go ninja if you want diversity, lords are fairly similar to valkyries (same spell book, armor, hit points).
