I have been wanting to try and lvl BST but I don't have WHM at a good lvl. But I have RDM at 32. Anyway that it could work? And what would be a good sub for parties? Thanks. ^^

Re: BST/RDM Viable?
I went from 1-33 as bst/brd, 33-75 as bst/rdm and bst/nin (bst/nin in party and duo only), so I'd say it works ^^. Dispel is awesome, quick bar spells are great, just ALWAYS carry antidotes on you.

PS. To finish bst, you're going to have to go a little crazy XD75bst/72war/61nin/37rdm/37thf/etc...

Re: BST/RDM Viable?
yup, a friend of mine has gone so far with only rdm sub and he's at 58. You'll get some extra defense once are able to use phalanx so its a nice bonus. However, as galkabst said, bring anitidotes, since you'll lose all your -na spells. antidotes are cheap too so not a big deal

Re: BST/RDM Viable?
The BST job is adaptable to about any subjob when you are playing solo. The only question is which will be most productive in getting you exp(If that is your main goal). My rl brother uses RDM and does just fine. Having the ability to cure ourselves is the main thing you are looking for. The other spells can be dealt with by play style and meds as mentioned above.

It's Nice to solo something as a 35 BST that gives my 58WHM a hard time to kill.

Re: BST/RDM Viable?
Pretty much any sub job that allows healing or dammage controll on a consistent basis. /whm is the bread and butter of solo, /nin is great for parties and the top job for solo 72+, /rdm is great for solo or parties. Even /blu could work well if pollen and healing breeze can be used easily. /pld post 70 for refresh would even work well for non-stop soloing.
You should select your sub job based on how you enjoy playing bst, pick what you want and run with it.GalkaOfficial Beast Team Member: John 'Hannibal' Smith"The Tanking Bst"75BST/37WHM/37NIN63PLD/31WARSeraphWolvesInSheepSkins"We are Beastmasters, we do not zone"

Re: BST/RDM Viable?
at high lvs pld "may" become a good option since it has a lot of skills in it and now auto refreshComment

Re: BST/RDM Viable?
Its funny bc I am going to play a BST when I can't get a PT as my SAM, and whenever I login, I am picked up with 10 min. So close to using O. Kotes.......But BST still seems like it would own and am looking forward to play as one. I just wish some of you BST's were on Asura.------------------------------

Re: BST/RDM Viable?
IMO, WHM is the better of the two. Divine Seal can save TONS of downtime. If you're hit with a big move like Throat Stab. A Divine Seal Cure III can really help with the downtime after that fight. -na spells also decrease downtime.
Also, at 74, BST/NIN will be just as quick, not only do you get Ichi/Ni, but when you have a gaudy harness and dual wield Rune Axes, you get a HUGE regen bonus from those (10HP/3Sec I believe, don't remember clearly). Many of my BST pals do that.
But for me, WHM is the best. Because Divine Seal is a time saver. Not to mention as a 72 BST, you will have teleport spells at your disposal.Rodin - Ragnarok Server (Out of Retirement)

1-20? umm you can get away with anything then.
but to be a little more helpful:
chr rings at 14. chr neck piece at 14? iirc. noble's ribbon at 14 as well. signa if you really have the gil but id like to say it is not necessary. bronze set > leather set > lizard/bone set.Omni@Remora: NIN75 RNG75 MNK75 COR75 BST64 BRD53
