I read the thread title thinking this was going to be about Walmart greeters.

Re: The most useless job ever

Three times this weekend I joined a party only to be told to change jobs as soon as I got to the party. Once to a War, twice to a Nin every though I don't have nin unlocked yet.

My answer: Um, no...I'm playing a thief. Caused me to be dumped twice and once has three players leave the team...though the rebuilt team got some great experience. I have a whm subjob (cry me a river) so I would heal till out then jump in and deal SA to the monster till dead.

It worked pretty well.

Still it's very annoying.

Wait. They were asking you to change your main job? Or your subjob? If it's the latter, well, I don't blame them.

There are numerous topics discussing the benefits of /WAR and /NIN as subjobs on these forums and all over the rest of the internet. Maybe you should read a few of them. /WHM isn't very useful to a party. If you want to sub WHM when you're on your own, that's your perogative. But if you expect to get invites, then you have to make yourself useful to parties.

Well they're doing that cause as a thf, you're invited to deal dmg, not heal. As such, subbing War or better yet, Mnk, would help you deal more dmg. That's not a bias against Thf, it's a bias against your choice in sub. They didn't want you to switch your main to War or Nin, just your sub.

My friend was setting up a merit party this weekend and invited me along. When I joined, he said to the rest of the party something along the lines of "hope you guys don't mind a thf, he's a friend" x.x

It is very possible they were asking you to change your sub job. What job were you subbing at the time?
