So... Gerik's gonna waste your Steel Blades, Silver Swords, Killer Axes, etc. just to gain moar Exp?
Will anyone else really be using them? One 1 person capable of using Axes (Franz) is a better unit then Gerik, and his Con (going into Gknight) is less then Gerik, not to mention his mov suffers. Most other axe users either aren't worth it, or are too slow/can't hit. And when other swordusers use the heavy swords, their AS and Avo suffers (COLM)
The probelm is that they cost money. Gerik is already depleting the team's money. Now he's going to eat away at it even more? Colm is actually increasing the team's moneys by a huge amount. So much that even if he and Moulder both use expensive weapons constantly, they're still adding the the team's money rather than depleting it like Gerik is, even with using only Iron weapons. Thieves >>>>>

The times you use the Torch staff are in FoW maps, and that can hardly be considered wasteful
What's your point? Moulder still isn't getting EXP that fast.
Perhaps not as fast as Colm, but he gets it plenty fast enough. He's much better off than Gerik, at least. Joining underleveled ftl.

Barrier staffs are good for letting your low res units be more versatile
 And you act as though Natasha won't be using the Barrier and Torch staves either...
Okay? Just use some of that money Colm gets to buy moar if you need to.

Mend staffs are for healing people that took hard blows, that's hardly worthless
Or units w/ heal staves that actually have enough magic to heal someone.
Or I could just use Mend because I have Colm. Pls. Moulder w/ Mend > anyone with Heal. And it gives moar exp ftw.

And our team is godly on funds, while your team has nothing.
Correction. COLM is good on funds. Moulder doesn't do shit to help you with the moneyz. Explain to me how your team is good with funds when you have a Magic user, possibly the biggest eater of moneyz evar. Tethys dun do jack to your funds. Neutral > Negative.
Only, this is Colm and Moulder as a team. Colm can help Moulder out like that. And any excess (and there's a ton of it) helps the rest of the team.
wtf-uber-massive positive + negative >>>>>> negative + neutral

Your team does no more than take away from the overall teams funds, while our team adds to it.
No. Moulder takes away from your funds WAY more then Gerik. How does your team help funds when one half takes away more then anyone else?
Because the other half is WTFH4X with adding to funds. Come on; this isn't that hard.

No, he beats him when he joins, he continues to beat him for a while, near the endgame Gerik catches up to him. What you are forgetting is that Colm has the ability to use h4x power weapons a lot more freely than Gerik can without Gerik being a huge detriment to your pocket
What? How is colm not taking away from funds as much as Gerik when they use the same weapon? It can't be from the thieving shit, because Colm doesn't benefit from everything he steals (he doesn't even steal his promo item in eirika's path)
It's because Colm adds to your funds. Gerik does not.

So if Colm wants more power, he has it.
So in other words, Colm is a spoiled bitch now? But we already have Clarine 
No we don't. This is FE8, foo'. Not FE6. And yes, Colm can use as much money as he wants and still rape in funds.

So now your beastly offensive unit is losing by three.
The only thing I want to know here is why you didn't include the weapon he has equipped when he starts. Sure, you didn't do that for colm, but it's not like you'll be unequipping Gerik's weapons in that chapter. wait, how does moulder already have his A with colm? 
119 turns. If it isn't already at A, it will really soon. And it doesn't really matter either way. 1 atk, onoz.

But the thing is that if Colm needs more power to kill, he just equips a stronger weapon; Gerik has no answer for his AS.
You seem to exclude the fact that Colm's con sucks dick. He can't lift anything to beat Gerik's steel blade without losing AS. If he uses the steel blade, his AS falls below Gerik's. Gerik will NEVER be weighed down starting at promotion (lol devil axe), and is only weighed down by ONE weapon when he starts (which only makes him lose 1 AS).
No, it doesn't. Gerik starts with 6 more con and 7 less AS. Colm isn't losing AS. Even if he somehow was losing AS at some point, it would only be by 1. So, oshit1AS. Like that's ever going to matter. Even if that 1 AS actually matters somehow, that means Gerik is borderline, so due to stats being random, he has about a 40% chance of not having enough spd to double. Colm can just use a lighter weapon.

There's no answer for Colm's shitty con, which stays the same. Gerik's speed actually increases.
Too bad con doesn't add to spd. Spd lead >>>>>>> con lead.

the promotion items and stat boosters he steals is an insane amount of worth. It allows promoting units and increasing units stats, which is far, far more than what a unit like, say, Gerik does.
That reminds me: - DH's first post
-
Then you can make a "super" unit from all the stat boosters.
7 HP, 2 Str/Mag, 4 Spd, 2 Def, 2 Res, 2 Lck, 2 Con
That's insane. Without Colm your units would be quite a bit worse. Just add those stats to one unit and tell me they are not godly. Hell, even bottom tier shit becomes usable with a bit of Colm's magic.
Low tier right? Marisa = Low tier. Marisa can triangle with Tethys and Gerik
Here are Marisa's 20/10 SM stats w/ stat boosters, B gerik, B tethys, and a Shamshir: HP: 52 (  ) Mt: 27.2 Hit: 161.1 (she dun need a skill book  ) Crit: 73.65 (!!!) Avo: 97.6 AS: 27.3 (only 2 less then Colm?  ) CEV: 33 Def: 13.6 Res: 14 I think I got everything... omargod marisa dun suck
lol, wtf? COLM gets those stat boosters, not Gerik. This is our team's advantage, not yours.

You can't go into a debate against Legault, say Matthew is better, and start debating Matthew, as it doesn't prove anything against your opponents character, or in this case, team.
But if Mattew > Legault, Legault shouldn't be used, thus a point against legault. In the same sense, The fact that moulder and colm A support shouldn't exist is a point against them. That's whats so good about Tethys and Gerik, it should exist, which is a point for our team.
This isn't the same at all. Would other characters be better off if they got to have an A with Moulder or Colm? Maybe, but without them, they don't even get a B; they don't get the support at all. So them being there is still making your team better off, not worse.

Now look at this, when Colm joins he has one of the best offenses on your team. When Gerik joins he is underpar. Somebody is going to have to kill more to become usable.
No. A unit who has more levels on your team (COLM) will take more kills to level up whereas Gerik will take less. Otherwise, Nino wouldn't be a EXP goddess
Yes, Gerik gains levels slightly faster when he first joins. Your point? It still settles out with Colm having a huge level lead since he can be on a higher level and still gain more exp. And wtf does Nino have to do with this?

He takes Staffs from the rest of the team? Dude, FOR HALF OF THE GAME he is your only staff user. Who he takes staffs from is nothing more than his own pocket. And yeah, those staffs he is using are actually helpful at time and should be taken into consideration.
Natasha joins 4 chapters after Moulder. The game isn't 8 chapters long
Eh, whatever. The main point still stands. Using a staff to help the team >>>>> not using it. It's not doing you any good just sitting there.

And there is another way he can gain experience; getting targeted. That safely sets 99 to 100.
Moulder has a base avo of 18 and def of 2. Why the hell is he getting targeted?
I dunno. He shouldn't be. Just use a staff that gives more exp.

Now he needs them "to be good"? Dude, it's one experience point, it's not making or breaking anything, he's good without, but it's only logical to consider that there will be times that using a different staff than heal will be useful.
At no point should more then 14 pts of HP need to be healed that early in the game.
Maybe for the first 2 chapters. After that, no.

I don't know, but 33 more experience at the cost of a 60 G does not sound like a bad deal, especially when it clarifies that you won't be dying.
33 exp? I think you mean 11 EXP or 180 g...
Whatever. I'm not concerned at all about Moulder using more money when his partner is Colm.

No, our team is still helping the moneys more than not, and what team isn't here? Gerik and Tethys, all they do is hurt the funds rank. So should Gerik be able to use anything more than an Iron Sword? Not by your logic, no. Because we're apparently not aloud to use anything other than shit, even if it increases our teams ability.
No. Colm helps funds. Moulder definately hurts funds. Tethys doesn't do shit to funds. And, you can't say that Colm doesn't hurt funds if he is a fighter. If he isn't a fighter, he isn't in need of supports, which in turn makes this team gay. We don't like gay, useless teams. 
Colm's help to funds far outweighs any hurting of funds he or Moulder does. Team COLMOULDER is still way way in the positive on funds while your team is in the negative.

No, it's not. We're debating about Moulder, Colm, Geirk, and Tethys. I'll just pretend what you said was a joke to try and brush off the reason you didn't have a counter.
it's your point, don't act retarded

The point was about Moulder's EXP rates. Colm doesn't help Moulder's EXP ranks. Therefore, bringing up the fact that Colm can see in the fog doesn't help Moulder any. Sure, it applies to your team as a whole, but not to moulder alone.
Oh, and Colm w/ torch > Torch staff, which means Moulder isn't needed in FoW (:
Colm w/ Torch is indeed > Torch staff, but it doesn't render Torch completely useless as Torch can light up areas where Colm is not there, since it's ranged.

... no actually. We're giving him a Silver Blade. Which makes their AS equal (remember the "he can equip weapons to get more Atk, but Gerik can't equip weapons to get more AS?" arguement?), and Colm still has 6.7 more Eva than him. What the hell are you talking about?
I was under the assumption that you could read. I guess I was wrong. Colm w/ steel blade = goodbye EVA lead. Colm w/ Silver blade means that the AS is equal, as with the pow (I think...)
That's not helping you any. Tying a thief in combat skillz = loss, since the thief has thief utility, and you have nothing else. But then, this isn't even a tie. It's even worse for Gerik since Colm can use a ligher weapon for the fast enemies. Gerik just has to not double.

And against Magical units, be them common or not, Colm wtfraepz Gerik.
Same logix: 20/20 stats, be them common or not, Nino wtfreapz Pent. |:
wtf @ the idea that that's possibly the same logic Gerik is worse against magic units, which do indeed exist. Having to avoid them to avoid this disadvantage would also make him worse.
Getting Nino to 20/20 rapes the rest of your team's exp and rapes your tactics rank. ...I can't even draw a counter parallel or whatever the heck it is because these two things aren't even related at all. It's like comparing a black hole to a pencil or something.
