Mnk/thf

[Leo Webstalk]

Hello, everyone. I should be getting this game this weekend and I'm completely ecstatic. What I'm wanting to know is if I'll get invites as a MNK/THF or vice versa, or if I'll get overlooked. I don't mean late in the game like 60+... but moreso during the earlier levels. Thanks.

[neighbortaru]

generally no. it's not terribly effective and you get more out of MNK/war.

[Leo Webstalk]

Heh, ok. That's what I thought but I've seen some good things on the MNK/THF combos so I wasn't completely sure. My first choice was always BRD/WHM but I'm sure I'll get around to tryin everything out for a while. Thanks.

You wiull probably want to have THF leveled for a MNK subjob in the laters levels, but for the most part, WAR is the best subjob.

Welcome to FFXI, by the way.

Welcome, Hope Ya ge on my server ! ( Midgardsormr )....

Anyways, yea, i would stick to MNK/WAR or a THF/WAR

Parties Could Always Use A Voker‼‼‼‼‼

Plus , Warrior Has some nice abilities that both jobs could use, both bieng DD's at times. ^^

So, Hands Down. Those Are The Most Popular combinations I C.

mnk/war is seems to be more effective at all levels than mnk/thf.
Your question, though, was whether or not you'd get invites early on and the answer is yes. You can level with any sub at all until 30 and get invites. Hell, you could probably go without a subjob through kazham and still be fine. You would suck ass, but you'd still get invites. I took mnk/thf to 42 and had no problem getting invites. I then realized that I was gimp and switched to mnk/war and was AMAZED at the difference.

Of course, the irony is that now I don't get any fscking invites at all, but thats just the life of a 50+ mnk until mid-60s :-\

for all the /thf haters, remember the joys of SATA dragon kick......

[LadyPeorth]

true... SATA Dragon Kick is nice...but scoring a Double Attack off a Dragon Kick is very nice as well

Naota raises a good point that I neglected to address. There is absolutely no reason that you can't have:
SJ = WAR, THF
in your search comments. The flexibility can only make your pts more efficient, and might get you pts faster. In most pt setups /WAR will still be better, but there will be some cases where /THF will rule the day.

Obviously, this only applies to 60+

Have both THF and WAR lvled for sub, if you are playing MNK... After lvl60, THF sub becomes very powerful with the Sneak attack + Trick attack + WS.

Pre-60 though, MNK/THF can still do sneak attack + raging fists, which isn't too bad for damage.. but overall DOT and such, MNK/WAR can offer more(Edit: this apply til lv75, I should say)

Even after lv60, you will still need a WAR sub for in case if there is a THF in PT, or you need to do more damage.

So I would say, Lvl both subs, and use accordingly.

As for THF/MNK, it works til lv33, after that, you would want WAR or NIN sub for your THF, I would say a NIN sub is better, because you will be requested to pull usually, and utsusemi will save your life. Although at higher lvl, for Burning Circle or whatever, I heard people would use THF/MNK to do SATA+ Raging fists... and it's supposed to be good damage... But for normal circumstances, you would be best to use THF/WAR or THF/NIN.

And welcome to the world of vana diel.

It depends on PT configuration. THF sub is very good for hate placement, and some pt's later will request THF sub. WAR sub is the standard subjob though.

[Gunblitze]

ONLY and ONLY use MNK/THF AFTER level 60. Before lv60 use MNK/WAR

[tonio]

granted you might have to start a alot of your parties from lvl's 52 to 59 but once you hit 60 you can sata howling fist +sata viper bite =dist.. works well but you might get passed over as a mnk/thf before a mnk/war, but i personally don't like voking so yay!! for mnk/thf!!

[Funguwari]

You need WAR and THF fully Lv'ed.

WAR for all situations.

THF when you have to close a Skillchain. (60+ ONLY!)

This is your regular EXP PT setup.

[METDeath]

might as well add whm sub for chi blasting on HNMS and nin sub for those sucky pts where you just draw agro no matter what
