subjob to level fastest

[Zanar4]

What subjob can i give to my BLM that would help me lvl to 30 the fastest, so i can get the summoner job, i want to get summoner so i dont want to fool around w/ other subjobs, i just want the subjob that would help my BLM get to lvl 30 the fastest

i can't stress out enough times, what's the point to level a summoner while you have no summon? heck even with all the summon i think summoners such way too much untill level 70

forgot... get whm as a sub of course.... your mp really isn't there just to cast offensive spells

hey yea thanks for that umm tip...but i wasnt asking about being a summoner , dont make assumptions on what you think would be better, if i want to be a summoner with no summons or just carbuncle, thats my choice, my reasons for picking the job, i dont care, i was simply asking how to become a summoner the fastest, regardless of summons. But thanks for the whm, if you could be a lil more descriptive as to why this would help me lvl fast id appreciate it, or if anyone else has any other suggestions id appreciate it, thanks

assumption?
it's more like the fact that i have the game and i have seen idiot summoner with nothing but carb made me say that.
i myself am starting smn as my next job (and yes i have all the summon beast the game offer now), i still feel my summoner is quite shitty and a broken cure tank... but at least i have abilities to look forward to, however carb has nothing... sigh

Kirara,or anyone who reads this who played in beta/import/whatever, since you have played the game I figured you might know.

How much damage can a Summoner do at level 70 with his summon abilities compared to a Black Mage at the same level and How helpful are the skills the summons have? Like Garuda's blink, etc. Are they helpful in groups/raids?

Last question - is it difficult for a Summoner/WHM to get a group? It really doesn't bother me if I don't get a group right away, but I'm just hoping I won't be one of those classes that no one really wants in their group.

Thanks Have a nice night.

Apparently smn/whm is the reccommended way to go if you want to get groups as a summoner, you will have a huge pool of mp to heal from. I doubt youd be taken last with this combination, as mages in general seem less common than tanks, and healers in any mmorpg are always welcome.

Scyrab, your first and second question is answered in my post here:

for your last question, i personally think they aren't that hard to find parties, compare to most of the other classes (melee wise)
however since i never wait around for my party, i have been making party with my blm almost 80% of the time from level 20 to 60 (other 20% of the time i get invites mostly with out even have the ! sign up), i seriously do not know how it feels like to wait for party. but i believe smn/whm is very useful... at higher level

Thanks for the information Kirara, very much appreciated ^_^
