I've experimented with some combos since level 18...
Here are some good combos I've found:

mind you, some of these abilities listed won't come until higher levels
*MNK/WAR = taunt, berserk, extra STR, Double Attack
*MNK/THF = backstab, extra DEX, Treasure Hunter
MNK/WHM = healing, Dia, Protes
MNK/NIN = 1H Blunt x 2 (not that this is a bonus...just kinda novel) , extra Dex, resist bind

*-best

Yeah but keep in mind, nobody knows all the ninja abilities so the MNK/NIN class could be really good..........however you never know

thats what I'm PLANNING on being but I may be a MNK/Thief or whitemage instead

[Ajuna]

thanks, that really help clear things up for me, i think i will go for monk worrier to get th eextra str and double attack which seem really cool :cool:

Would a monk/ ranger be good? I mainly want to be a monk but I would like to shoot a gun from afar. Will the monk's agility (even with ranger sub boost) be good enough to use a gun? Are monks even allowed to use a gun/bow?

[InfamousJoe]

Unless Monks can use guns, then you won't be able to use them.

^^^ SPAM ^^^

"Unless Monks can use guns, then you won't be able to use them."

Are you trying to be funny or are you just brain dead? That was a worthless post that told nothing.

I have some info too:
-Unless warriors can use magic, than they won't be able to use magic.
-Unless white mages can use the jump ability, than white mages won't be able to use the jump ability.
-Unless ninjas can summon monsters, than ninjas won't be able to summon monsters.
-Wow, I never knew I could provide so much important info.

I usually don't flame but I'm starting to get tired of dumb statements on these boards that just waste space like the spam in my e-mail box.

Now can someone please answer my questions for real? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

is dark knight / monk a good combo considering that dark knight needs hp.:handsdown

What is everyone's thoughts on Monk/ Samurai?

Hear me out, the samurai lvl 10 innate ability is to build TP more quickly. And you build TP with every attack you make right? Well, I believe high level monks get the most attacks (by level 60, they have the innate ability martial arts 5 times which shortens the attack interval).

Sooo if you combine the monk's high rate attacks with the Samurai's innate ability to gain TP quickly it seems like you would be gaining TP faster than you could be dishing it out.

What do you think? What would be the problems with this combo?

If there are any monk experts out there I'd appreciate the feedback (oh and please answer my monk/ ranger question as well). Thanks.

He was pointing out that you can only use equipment of your main job and not your subjob. Therefore, the monk would need to be able to use a Gun because the whole Ranger bit won't hold over if only subbed (you may have known exactly what he meant, but oh well). From what I hear, Monks can't use guns. Besides, that would be a pointless subjob.

I think War is best with it you can double attack

Well, first of all, I'll be the first to admit that I over reacted and Infamous Joe, I apologize for asking if you were brain dead LOL.

However, in my post I specifically asked if Monks could use bows/guns and the answer was "unless monks can use guns, than you won't be able to use them" SO it really didn't answer my question. But I think I see what you are saying now...

But why do you say it would be a worthless sub job? I think it would be great to be good with range weapons without having to make it your primary job.

[InfamousJoe]

I didn't know for sure if monks could use guns, so that's why I said it like that.

dk/mnk good combo
is dark knight / monk a good combo considering that dark knight needs hp.

[Nameless]

:rolleyes:
I'm getting angered.
CHECK THE DRK SECTION.

[InfamousJoe]

It's still a decent combo.... but not as good as DRK/WAR, I guess :p

[Yoko]

yeah i was thinking about this one also Kosh.....Monk/Sam would be indeed the master of renkei....its my second choice since we cant get Sam at lvl 18 when we can get our second job....oh and no monks cant use guns...(just wanted to clear that out...) they can only equip those claws or go bare-handed....

YES spidy drk/monk could be a nice combo....ull survive longer but dish out less damage then the drk/war combo though....

hmmm....come to think of it i saw a taru once using a gun while he wasnt a ranger....think he was a white mage.....(i heard its only that particular gun though that they can use.....dont remember the name of the weapon, sorry....)

[Leonidas]

Monk/Ranger wouldn't be good because Monks are melee and getting Ranger skills wouldn't help your meleeing skills.

[XenoFantasy]

I was looking at Sheila's page for her Link Shell and I noticed that a couple Monks in the Rage of Dark Linkshell are Monk/Dark Knight, does anyone know much about this combo and how good it is?

[Yoko]

imagine an all-attack monk with barely any defense. Thats mostly it. ( A martial Artist that dishes out big damage but needs lotsa healing cuz of the DK sub...)

[FFXIAMERICANO]

monk/redmage ?? best of both worlds?? yes no maby?

[Vidnaut]

Well at least I'm not the first one to think of it and to put it out. I've also been wondering about RDM/MNK or MNK/RDM.

I was thinking of doing that as my first character's choice. I'm not fully aware of the possibilities of either choice or even if it's a efficient choice at all. I mean it looks good on paper but I would like to have a experienced opinion before I start it out.
