Drg/drk

[ryushi]

Hey, I just need to know which is better, because I don't have any time to train up my lvl 2 THF so I need to know which jobs from the list below that is best for my DRG until lvl 60, DRG/WAR, DRG/DRK, DRG/PAL, DRG/WHM or DRG/MNK?

DRG/WAR.

I personally use DRG/DRK. It fits my play style much better than DRG/WAR. I've used both extensively and find DRG/DRK just has a nicer set of abilities for me.

Also check out the new level 30 earrings. Latent effects are based on subjob. A drk sub and a killer earring is a +5 attack boost.

DRG/WAR is without question the best of the bunch until 60.

People will likely make an argument for DRG/THF, but they likely just go by what they hear on forums, and don't actually investigate the statistical aspect of it. The tiny DEX boost from /THF (1-2 points, depending on what level you are) is entirely irrelevant, and one critical hit per minute pales in comparison to the added total damage of Berserk unless you're the kind of person who gets off on the occasional high damage swing more than they enjoy contributing large amounts of damage. Steal, Gilfinder, and Treasure Hunter are all kind of useless (as in not contributing to killing things faster/more efficiently) in an XP party. (Note: After 60, /THF becomes perfectly reasonable, as Trick Attack becomes a vital ability for managing hate.)

imo the only way to go is drg/war...

large str,dex bonus
berserk, later double attack, provoke (if needed on a rare ocasion)
defender, again only on the rare occasion needed

but, honestly your going to get more damage from subbing war than any other choice
