Good starting job?

[Anom]

I've partied with a taru MNK. He seems to do a fair job so far.My Mithra MNK is awesome tho I usually deal the most dmg in my PT.

is somebody here who already has played with a tarutaru monk ?
plz tell me the pros and cons, and any ideas for a good subjob ?!

[spuncan]

advantages: umm u look cool and chicks will think ur cute lol
o and ur rse will give u some str/vit/dex boosts
disadvantages: less str, less vit, less dex, overall much weaker and u truley dont get any advantages over elf, galk, mith, or even hume (not that their bad their just base on all stats)
but then again its ur choice choose what u want race doesnt make or break a char its just as much ur performance and equip that decides how good of a char u have

Yes, MNK is a great starter, due to the high amounts of HP and multiple attacks per turn that come with the job.

And the Hundred Fists job ability = certain death for the enemy.
