Re: My tarutaru poll!

I had to pick DRG. Before I deleted my Taru, I used to run around on my DRG/WHM just to jump on stuff. It was cute but I never got it higher then 15.

*sigh*
why don't YOU just play all the jobs so you can see which is more fun TO YOU? do you really want others to tell you what is fun?

if you are, however, asking which is best, then the answer is there is no best. there are varying levels of desirabilty in parties, but as a melee, you will never be a top pick (usually) anyway.

and before you ask, SAM > DRK > DRG > crap > PUP
(ok I exaggerate about the PUP part... or do i? )

Re: My tarutaru poll!

I had to go with sam, since tarus are adorable in Gi. When the mob is sitting there stupefied with this 83 look on its face, that makes a great opening for attack.

Re: My tarutaru poll!

I'd go with DRG, cause i got a taru mule i'm planning on making drg, and it's just soo funny to watch him smack stuff with the one pointed fork and one shot the worms in south gusta XD. Though i have thought about drk too just cause of the Ark Angel Taru is one with a little scythe and tries to cut down ppl like it was france and guillotine :x

Re: My tarutaru poll!

You forgot Monk! ^^ Stances, the hand to hand flip of weapons, and Asuran animation for taru monks is a lot of fun(not to Asuran yet, but gaining).

Taru melee is not always highly sought, nor for tank jobs either, but there are people out there that will invite you as long as you gear properly and do a good job. Of the jobs you've listed, DRG is one that I'll level further eventually, have it up to 40 now. Solo'd mostly, definitely a practice in patience once you get past ~25, but always an option. It's also not an overly expensive job to be really well equipped until later levels. DRK falls into about the same category, and would actually benefit from our mp/INT for spell casting. SAM is indeed very cute/fun, but to be really well equipped early on, Okotes are not a cheap piece of EQ.

As neighbortaru said, play each of them, see which ones you like playing the most. DRK, SAM, DRG all have uses as fully leveled subjobs, I've even seen some cases of people using PUP as a sub to more easily solo other jobs past the dunes stage. Do some searching on your server for other tarus playing those jobs at higher levels, ask them if they'd answer any questions you might have, such as What they find the most fun playing as XXX? /What was most difficult about getting there?/ Amount of gil/time investment for upkeep? - so you can get a better idea of what you'd be able to look forward to.

Re: My tarutaru poll!

Well i did play them all and i just cant decide which one

[Kiyokatsu]

Re: My tarutaru poll!

I said DRK. In terms of DD jobs, I think it is the DD that plays to the strengths and covers the weaknesses of Tarutaru the best. It has natural MP that can be utilized, INT plays a role in many DRK weaponskills and spells, and DRK have a deep well of STR and ATT to beef up Taru's naturally lower STR and ATT.

That said, I am still torn as to whether I should play SAM or DRK myself. I'm pretty sure I will end up going with SAM, simply because I have always loved it and weaponskills really are the most enjoyable thing for me in this game.

SAM is probably the "weakest" choice for Tarutaru, in terms of mini-maxing. But who cares about that garbage?

DRG can make a really great job for Taru, with very diverse sub-job choices. Classic DD subs like /WAR or /THF still work, but you also have a ton of fun and still be extremely effective with a mage sub-job.

PUP? I don't even have ToAU, so I have not been able to investigate its growing reputation as a stupidly lame job that can never excel in anything.

Sarcasm or Truth?

Re: My tarutaru poll!

You can't really ride your wyvern, but in theory Taru's are small enough to do it
