homunculus help and comparison

[Ngjoko]

I'm actually not trying to rush to 99. I'm perfecting my /BM, Alt, and Ctrl finger and pointer finger coordination with my alchemists and their assistants. Of course, the assistant have to be able to keep up with their stats or else things will get really frustrating.

My problems are:
Filir : a glass cannon, if it dies, i'm usually dead in 2, at most 5 seconds if i can outspam the damage long enough.
Lif : don't have the time, hardest to train, and final move uses MATK which is the reason i need an ATK-er
Amistr : no burst damage, hard to train, stupid AI won't activate Castling, manually use Castling cancels AI.
Vanil : fear of high MDEF and players probably know how to deal with it by now since they're sliding everywhere in every town.

My vanils seem to always have more STR though. Then again, their stats seems so balanced out, almost similar.
