Other subs for ranger..

Sub what you want...

It's a game. Sure, min/maxers will tell you that your doing something wrong, they won't invite you, and *gasp* you might be doing 10 damage less a hit.

But it's your character, play what you want. A RNG/THF would certainly get less invites than a RNG/WAR, but I'd still invite one. Just because somebody doesn't use the same cookie-cutter combo as 90% of everybody else in the game, doesn't mean your wrong.

It's a game, do what you LIKE to do. Heck, even if you never level...does it really matter?

at lvl 32 i only had nin subbed for dual archers and didnt need blink spells. im lvl 48 now and going rng/war for more damage output.

You can do whatever you like but its not good. Simple as that. Thats a lame argument.

Its quite obvious you pick something that complements your job. Hell you may invite a rng/thf but I wont just like I wont invite a whm/war or a drk/rdm... In a party you are supposed to do a specific job, a Whm heals, a Drk-Rng does dmg, etc .. You could be effective at your job or crappy at 2 things.

If you are getting something that doesn't do you any good then having it or not is not a problem.

Most people go into subs that either enhance thier ability (rng/war = power, rng/nin = acc, rng/sam = TP) and/or helps them to fill in their weakness (rng/nin = blink, rng/war = +10def, rng/sam = dodge 1 time).

If a sub job doesn't help you in anyway that profits you (ie whm/war with +10def and beserk/provoke is useless) then you better off picking something else.

Some people tell me about stat, well, I'll have to say that even with the extreme case (rng/whm and rng/war) there is no much different or it's too small to notice in practice.
