Does your subjob raise your skill cap?

[Yellow Mage]

Like if a Black Mage were to sub Dark Knight, wouls his soft cap in Scythes go up by any amount?

[Wise Donkey]

Nope. Skill caps are based soley on your Main Job. SJ Traits like Evasion Bonus can effect your skills, but work behind-the-scenes and do not effect your displayed cap.

Well, in a way they do raise your skill cap, but only if the 1/2 skill from subjob is higher then the full amount from main(Such as a BLM subbingt RDM)

But there's no way a sub will have more skill than the main job's native skill (unless the main has no skill at all that is).

Like a SMN75/WHM37 would have 114 healing (if the sub's skill is capped) because SMN has 0 native skill, but even F native skill (189) would be 75 points higher than the sub's at that lvl.

Hmm... That is true I guess...

I wonder at level 1 if someone had capped E skill subbed job with same capped skill but A, if they would get skill level A...

[Raydeus]

I don't see why not, but after lvl 2 native skill would take over so it wouldn't be of much use (if any). :wasted:

That's one of the reasons many recomend going /MNK for lvls 1-5, specially on mage jobs.

So basically, the answer is "it can, but if it does, your native skill is gimped?"

If so, thanks, it's what I wanted to know ^_^ .
