Well I'm not nice but I'll try anyway. Go for Monk and after 30 you could switch to PAL (or stay a monk). But don't use White Mage, melee and mage classes don't mix very well.

OK thanks but I am going to go to level 30 with warrior as my main and ??? as my sub.But when I reach level 30 I am going Dark Knight as my main and warrior as my sub.I am just wondering weather I should have WM or monk for my sub until i reach lev 30

I think white mage would be good so you have some healing abilities in case of emergancy. That would be good if you plan on soloing.:thumbsup:

melee and mage dont mix well? lol, way better than mage and mage, haha. melee with mage wont do u any harm... it wont give u any back-up... but u get to use magic, u have slightly more int, slightly more mp... but either way. having a melee main job means any sort of sub-job will just mean added stats. the skills of ur sub-job skills arent really all that useful cos ur sublvl stops too early. White mage sub is alright at the begining... afterwards the heal wont be so strong (seeing as ur hp max is higher) so its still not so great. I'd say either melee/melee or magic/melee. Mage sub jobs dont make a great difference. Only at the beggining.
Many ppl have seen me write this before but... Do NOT have two mage jobs.
1) You will need twice the mp (that u dont have).
2) You will not have any physical back-up (ie: u'll get killed way too easily)
3) You will need twice the casting time (which u will never have)
4) eg: Cast flare (mp drained) -> Cast cure --- get hit! -> Cure stops (waste of time) -> the hit kills you! -> You level down!!!
You see my point?^^;
Sub jobs = only useful for stats and some skills

I plan on joining my clan later in the game though like level 10 or something. Whats wrong with being in a clan if your sub is White mage.Is it because the clan will already have a powerful WM or something. I thaught having a warrior/white mage would be good because I would deal out nice damage and be able to heal myself or a member of my clan.:confused: ahh this is a late post

Warrior/wht mage wouldnt be that great, cause usually warriors are in the front attacking the monstor, and thus you would only be able to heal urself which is a waste of a move when you could have a wht mage in the back row healing you, most pts look for wht mages, but only mages as in with both jobs being mages so that they could stay behind and attack with blk magic or heal the warriors in the front with wht magic

Alright thanks for all the help guys. I have decided to be a warrior/monk. Then when I get too level 30 I will change my main job to Dark Knight and change my sub job too warrior. So it will look like this Dark Knight/Warrior. Just like under my avatar.:thumbsup:

What?? first you will get more MP from having the sub class, as a mage..so you will have Twice the MP
2 SO what ,thats what a Warrior is for..so you cant take hits, who gives a rats ass..keep back and dont be stupid..if your traveling be invisible
3 Why would i need twice the casting time? if im standign around waiting to heal...i wont need that
4 Why are you trying to be both a black mage and white mage, you be 1 or the other, and use the other for more int and more mana
2 mage classes would be the best in the game!! i would love to grp with someone thats a white mage/black mage..cause if we get in trouble s/he can cast aton of heals in 30 seconds for FREE!! and have so much mana, that s/he wouldnt me OOM(out of mana) alot..re think what you said, cause 2 mages are the best in the game
Also a melee mage wont be that bad, tho i wouldnt recommend it...a Monk Black mage, would do aton of dmg..and all he has to do is spend his mana wisely..and sit after each and every battle Tho his sub class would be abit more useful...i dont know about anyone else, but i love thinking of the coolest combos, On FF7 i spent hours thinking of weird combos..i had so many useless 1s..but the good 1s where god
Also alot of ppl say i shouldnt be a bst tamer cause there pets suck
well think on the bright side of them..they have Killers, which own..esp in mmorpg, instead of doing 50 a hit..ill do 60 pr 70, i will probadly use the pet, if i see what i know i can charm, but other wise it would be a waste
just a lil thought..sorry for going a bit off topic..but it was to get my point across

vagtark, monks have the Chakra ability (as far as i know) and that heals you quite a bit, so i've heard, and heals some status effects. so you should probably sub monk imo

Chakra is a pretty high lvl skill thoug so he wont have it as a subjob mnk. Also whm will allow to learn spells and get used to spells that u will be using later on as a Paladin.
I am having the same dilemma over War/Mnk and War/Whm.
It comes down to this:
War/Whm is better for soloing.
War/Mnk is better for PT.

Hmm for not having played the game i'd say u made the right decision in being a warrior/monk. Once you learn Chakra your good to go and hopefully u'll have a whm or paly in ur party to handel the healing. This way you can focus on being a power house for ur clan.

OK to let every one know. I think I wont be a Monk long enough to learn Chakra.

if a monk is only going to be your subjob you wont, i beleive u get chakra at lv 35. u wont have much more mana as a white mage for the spells, but ull have good mag def. as a monk though, youll get a power and hp increase for your warrior. look at it this way: parties do not rely on tanks with low sub jobs as healers: the idea of it is good, but when executed it doesnt work out as well as one would think. i would say just be a complete tank, and a good one at that, by going war/mon until u get dk, which of course i will also be :)

For the love of God that is what i said i am going to do.Be a warrior/monk until level 30 change then have Dark Knight as my main and warrior as my sub.
