| Re: blu/rdm any good? /SCH will actually benefit you quite a bit at 30+ since spells like Wild Carrot and Magic Fruit get huge boosts from having healing magic skill. Now that SCH has Addendum: White, the only spells you'll be missing from /WHM are Erase, Barspells, Reraise and Curaga I & II. You won't get Divine Seal either, but I'd say Penury and Celerity are much better trade offs.
BLU has a limited MP pool as it is, and the conserve MP effects of Light Arts will go a long way. I haven't had a chance to test it myself yet since my BLU is still 24, but I do know that the healing skill pumps up all the healing spells except Pollen (not sure why it's excluded...) and since Light Arts gives you a B rated skill rating according to your main job's level (as opposed to the gimped skill you'd get from /WHM) the difference should be quite noticeable.
EDIT: RDM sub is really for soloing mostly. You'll get Enspells for a little extra damage on your melee swings, as well as Phalanx (which is nice when stacked with Cocoon and Stoneskin) and blink etc. I don't recommend it for parties.  |
