Well, considering we have virtually know idea what any of the new characters can do outside of a few videos, it's hard to say what paths would be best for them.
I hope with Alchemist they have some sort of cool variations on his potions. We know he lobs them, and one allows him to transform. So, maybe a bigger transformation, and a more powerful lob?

Why not make a topic before the game comes out? You didn't just ask that did you?... Ok, let's put it into perspective;
For a topic to be on the first page of the forum (or, somewhere it will be noticed) it will have to be frequently posted in. This means you'll have to keep making unnecessary posts on this topic to keep it alive. If people did use this as the main topic for upgrade paths, then they would have to look through various pages and posts until they reach the point where the game is actually out. Now, don't get me wrong, the topic could be stuck when the game comes out - but if that happened how is it any different than someone creating a new topic when the game comes out instead? Pointless topic is pointless. |

These are my picks so far. Keep in mind I haven't tried their other paths.
Pop Fizz: Best of the Beast! I'm fairly happy with this choice because it really helps Beast Form last and makes it ridiculously powerful yet satisfying. The final upgrade abilities are also pretty neat even though I only use the fire side of it. The time shifting into Beast Mode, though, is still a big problem on this path... It's not interruptable but does make you totally vulnerable. But I expect it's more fun than Mad Scientist in the end and it's very balanced as well. Chill: Ice block path There wasn't really much contest choosing between hers for me since the javelin path basically makes her attacks split and have extra damage when they're fine as it is. The ice block path is very satisfyingly tricky to use... A bit reminiscent of the experience with Flameslinger. Chill gets a very unique moveset down this path that pretty much nobody else can match, and it's also very fun and meaningful. And I can imagine in the right hands it could be used seriously well in either mode. Fright Rider: Jouster Jockey I chose this path since it seemed more fun. Sir Lance A Lot is without a doubt the superior path for those who want pure power, though. I'm quite satisfied with it since it has a good mix of risk and reward with Fright's somewhat middling HP and bad Armor and has excellent combos. The standard attack is also still helpful. The spin combo has good area attack and is useful if you need to hit something around you, while the slam combo is incredibly powerful boasting a hundred and twenty something in its hit and great against single opponents, yet not spammable. I'm planning to pick Packeteer for Jet-Vac. And hammer path for Crusher cause I WANT HAMMER DADDY. |

So, I guess this confirms that new Skylanders and Giants can't switch upgrade paths like Series 2 can?

I can't find anything on it... I'll report in if I do... Have a feeling I might need to get their Soul Gems first. (I haven't bought any Soul Gems whatsoever cause they're so expensive in terms of Hard mode cash!)

How much damage does Jet vacs suction gun do on packeteer and on the blast path? I'm considering Packeteer although I will give bird blaster a chance since you can switch paths?

I just tried Vac-Packeteer on Jet-Vac.
It's pretty disappointing. The Corkscrew does a measly 30 damage if you get it to hit, and the jetpack's durability is still waaaaay too low to warrant picking this path. Infinite flight time would have fixed it a lot more, but as it is, the only worthwhile thing about this path is The Mulcher which brings the vacuum power up to 36 a hit, but on its own the vacuum is too risky an attack to use seriously anyway. A poor choice for Story and probably not a very good one for Battle either. Bird Blaster is probably much, much better. |

It's not a very helpful flight move either. If the corkscrew were better it would have made up for it, but overall Vac-Packeteer doesn't really have much running for it.

Actually, I think I might reset him tomorrow after I play around with Shroomboom a bit. I'll let everyone know what I think. It's a shame the path I picked is so bad, because the corkscrew does look really badbutt and feels good to use... It's just hopeless as an attack.

What is it about the corkscrew attack you find poor? Is it only the damage? I do not own Jet vac but before I get him I want to decide what path to take.

Nibelilt Ripto Gems: 401 |
#45 Posted: 22:34:37 19/10/2012
The damage and usability. His flight feels very fake and is difficult to control, and the corkscrew's damage doesn't pay off enough for this.

Mrmorrises Platinum Sparx Gems: 7027 |
#46 Posted: 22:58:51 19/10/2012
Hm. I was highly considering packeteer path but now not as much although Bird blaster seems like the path that would make JV a one trick pony.

#47 Posted: 23:02:54 19/10/2012
Yes, I'm really quite disappointed in Jet-Vac to be honest. I wanted to suck in then blow away and I expected massive bursts of damage from it, but he really does frustratingly low damage that just doesn't work with his playstyle.
