    I'm gonna cry at the god frigging glitch that is upon my gladiator 36... Maxed out axe skills and got the special skill book and the amazing part is the skill wound up in my thief's ability list... I bloody wasted my time then!! Gaaaaaaaa, help, someone? D:

    The special skill is an item. Remove the skill scroll thing from your thief and throw it on your Gladiator. Their inventory was probably full, so they couldn't hold it.

    Paladin (don't remember level, just learned magic barrier)
    Gladiator (Ungodly attack, started as martial artist to learn psyche up) (lv 38) (farmed strength seeds)
    Sage (don't remember level, last spell learned was kabuff, so likely low 30's or high 20's)

    don't have a third member, I had a thief through the whole game (never reclassed him or anything) but I realized that he spends a lot of time doing absolutely nothing and sucking exp from my main members (espcially in boss fights, where there's no need to steal) so i dropped him off at the inn. Can someone suggest a good 4th member and whether I should reclass my theif or start fresh (thief knows claw moves up to flailing nails and aquisitiveness a little past half-inch with about 25 points saved up) I'm thinking a ranger with the "heal all" bow for backup purposes, but I just need a good balance... no mages, sage covers that well enough)

    P.S. I'm just before fighting the FINAL boss, i've already killed his first form and his pet... any help appreciated

    Get someone to heal. For the boss have your characters at least level 42 I'd say thats when I killed him but almost died

    The sage handles that well enough. I'm fairly confident I can take him down with my current party, they've all been through several different classes, learning the best of each (all but paladin can steal, everyone has psyche up, paladin has nearly a full shield stat, and sage has been through both mage and priest lines to boost magical might and mending. (full staff and shield abilities for the block chance as well) I'm just looking for something with a good damage output, something that makes it worth sucking 1/4 of the exp from the rest of the party. Can't decide really, that's all.

    thief clearly isn't it, he's quick, but he's no fighter, and I don't want another gladiator, as it brings nothing new to the table. I was thinking another paladin with whipping boy who does nothing but protects my sage while she heals, but that's not damage output, so I really don't know. maybe i'll stick with the party of 3. If anyone can help, it's appreciated

    I only had three people:

    - Level 52 Gladiator
    - Level 60 Priest
    - Level 36 Sage

    It was a tough battle when I didn't have the Sage at a high enough level, but after I leveled it up some, it basically made me invincible. I did grind on a few Liquid Metal Slimes though.

    I'm pretty sure it's either after you get hit and take a bunch of damage or just get low on health.

    What is this "coup de grace" thing? I've played DQ only a little bit but I've already made some progress on that game and I still can't use it and I haven't seen any hint about what-is-it.
