You're not using Wendel because he can naturally one-round enemies (at least most of the time or without forges), or take any more than one round of physical damage max unlike <insert crappy mage here>, obviously. You're using him because a) he heals; b) with his base AS, he'll retain a lot of potential to whittle down the HP of enemies twice so others can get the kill EXP. I only reclassed him into a sniper before he was about to level up in one of the easier chapters so he could boost his AS a little, just enough to still double later cavaliers as in ch. 18. When, say, he outlives that offensive utility, and it becomes clear that even his resistance isn't going to make him any more durable than someone who doesn't use magic, he'll be dropped. He bowed out of my party at --/20 after ch. 22, obviously.

What Tino said definitely has something to do with Oguma being that high, but also consider how weapon ranks work hand in hand with reclassing, furthermore increasing dph, lowering chances to be hit, enabling access to stronger weapons, etc. Oguma's starting with a C. Moreover, axes are still found among the enemies later on. On that note, I'm not really going to argue that swords are any good compared to axes/lances here. Their only ranged option = massive dick unless you shell out a fortune to forge a better version, even more than FE10's most common ranged option for swords.

I knew I'd get in hot water over my opinion of Catria being >>> Marth. This is like Carrion >>> Leaf in FE5 or Makalov >>> Ike in FE9 all over again.

Can the underlevelled fresh-faced melee recruit do it? Sporting a superior class to the lord who's already been forced deployment and trained for some time? In each of those examples I mentioned above, I think the answer is at least a modest fuck yeah, very much so. The games even throw in factors like a sword that grants Elite that a single unit can use mounted, BEXP, etc. like they want to make sure you get the hint, LOL. No idea what level your Marth is at by ch. 14, but mine from two playthroughs was around 12-13/o. I suppose if you were zealous he could be 14/0, but he's not that durable. A base Catria is very comparable to him against the enemies already, and her growths make her stats go up more often, and her default class is a lot better despite its weakness to bows, and she obviously levels faster.......need I go on?
