Re: Best Job/Sub-Job Combo's

Basic Jobs:
Warrior; NIN/THF/MNK (situational)
Thief; NIN/WAR (preferencial)
Monk; WAR/THF (situational)
White Mage; BLM/SMN (preferencial)
Red Mage; BLM/WHM (preferencial)
Black Mage; RDM/WHM (preferencial)

Advance Jobs:
Bard; WHM
Beastmaster; WHM/NIN (situational)
Paladin; WAR
Dark Knight; THF/WAR (situational)
Ranger; WAR/NIN (depends on the most recent patch)
Samurai; WAR/THF (situational)

Expansion Jobs:
Ninja; WAR
Dragoon; WAR/THF (preferencial)
Summoner; WHM



Situational subjobs are different subs you should use depending on the situation. I'm not going to divulge myself into explaining them all, you can find any answer to which subjob to use in their respective forums on this website.

Preferencial subjobs are two subs that are usually up to your preference. No one is going to belittle you or not invite you if you are a WHM/SMN instead of a WHM/BLM.

If I only wrote 1 Subjob for a job, then that is basically the cookie-cutter Subjob for that class. Without that Sub you are usually hindered or not as useful as you could possibly be.

Bard is an Advance Job.

Actually, Teffie, Samurai should be under Expansion Jobs and Summoner should be under Advance Jobs.

Don't forget war/whm and drg/blm. Best combos in the entire game.

Sam/rng use to be king in BCNM until the rng nerf. I still use sam/rng for soloing and lvling NPC on too weaks because barrage gives great tp return while meditate is down.

Re: Best Job/Sub-Job Combo's

The way I see it...
( Thief is good all around for a job past 30 for farming )

Warrior
Monk ( Early Level Tanking )
Thief ( Higher Level Damage Dealer, Past 30 )
Ninja ( Higher Level Tanking )

Monk
Warrior ( Damage Dealing )
Thief ( Past 30, Sneak Attack can work; but I would still pick WAR )

Thief
Warrior ( Increase Damage )

Red Mage
White Mage ( When doing alot of healing )
Black Mage ( More MP + When doing alot of casting )
Summoner ( Large MP Base )
Ninja ( Solo onry...)

White Mage
Black Mage ( Larger MP Base and Backup Caster )
Summoner ( Huge MP Base + Summons )
Red Mage ( Decent MP Base + Enfeebling...nothing much here, but okay )
Dragoon ( lol )

Black Mage
White Mage ( Backup Healer and MP base )
Summoner ( MP Base )

Bard
White Mage ( MP Base )

Beastmaster
White Mage ( A must have for soloing. )
Warrior ( I've seen it work in PTs before...)

Dark Knight
Warrior ( STR, VIT, Warrior Class Bonuses, and Berserk )
Theif ( SATA )

Paladin
Warrior ( The only choice )
White Mage ( I heard it can be done with a TaruTaru )

Ranger
Theif ( I'm not really sure why...)
Ninja ( AGI Bonus )

Summoner
White Mage ( Backup Healing and MP base )

Dragoon
Warrior ( STR, Berserk )
Theif ( SATA )
Samurai ( I don't recommend this personally, but the TP can help )

Ninja
Warrior ( How the hell would you tank without it?)
Ranger ( You'll need it for farming )

Samurai
Warrior ( Like all other Melee classes who can sub WAR)
Theif ( Like all other Melee classes who can sub THF)
Ranger ( Before the nerf, this combo pwned. Hard. Now it's mediorce )

Re: Best Job/Sub-Job Combo's

BLM/smn = NO!
PLD/whm = NO!
RNG/thf = NO!

there are some not so keen choices there too like RDM/smn and BST/war.

there was a reason I suggested that he do the research himself.

Never will forget my early parties in Kazham when the non JPs were experimenting with jobs or just being plain lazy. Thf 28 / Whm 03 will stay with me till I die.
