I am trying to be efficient and starting the first Main job as whm since i read it is quite useful for missions.
As i level progress through corsair, it is possible i stick with /whm and be supportive until 60+ (where the real cash come in and able to start level rng/nin/war as sub).
I also know that bullets will be expansive, as supportive class, is it possible rely mainly on sword or swords and shoot only once or twice per fight? (to save money, poor beginner to consider). |
/WHM is not commonly expected of COR save for within the JP side of the community and even they are finally getting around to the idea of subbing /RNG as the better EXP subjob.
COR/WHM is fine 1-30. /RNG wouldn't have its first Accuracy Bonus trait available until level 20, but it really isn't felt until you have the Noct armor set and archer's knives at 28/30 and some other accuracy and /RNG latent gear to go with it. So COR/WHM to 30 is fine.
But going without /RNG and /NIN past that point are cutting off some great options for you. NIN is a highly situational subjob, but it has its place in BCNM, Missions and high level burn PT pulling later on. /RNG is the dedicated damage-dealing subjob and really helps COR put their guns to thier best use.
Peeling off a bullet or two per fight and meleeing only is going to make you look poor, too. The gun is COR's main source for TP. Sword and knife TP alone won't give you the TP returns your gun would. If you can't afford to shoot the bullets and cards, there's really no point to levelling the job at all.
I would say, at the very least, to work on the /RNG sub as soon as you could. People overreact to RNG and think the job is expensive to level as a subjob. Its actually quite cheap to level as a subjob, its past 50 where RNG gets really expensive. I doubt anyone would spend more than 300k levelling it as a subjob these days.
I'm like you that I was originally BRD on another character, but I didn't finish WHM sub until recently. I honestly think it would be better to follow this path:
MNK to 18
WAR to 30-37
Unlock RNG, NIN, COR.
And then worry about WHM at a later date. But if you still want to do WHM first, again, COR/WHM to 30 is fine, but beyond that point, COR/WHM is rather lacking til the highest levels.
