What do you think, out of the following jobs, are the best combonations?
Monk
Thief
Dark Knight
Samurai
Dragoon
Please don't add in any jobs, I know WAR is the best melee sub job most of the time, that's not the point of this. Looking forward to seeign some peoples opinions!

Monks are damage dealers while you can make a lot of gil with the Thf's abililties... and no to mention at high levels, monk can sometimes attack 3's with kick and can heal themselves with chakra... and the best part is that they are both basic jobs... so you don't even need to do those expansion quests....

SAMS have about the same ATK. Anyway, you could get TP up fast with SAM and then use NIN WS to do major dmg. Not too mention good money with THF ablilites(which i dont think you could use unless u make THF ur main) but still... | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 09-15-2003, 05:19 PM | #7 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Posts: 22 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 295 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 295 Donate | *EDIT* Thats...get up TP with SAM and use THF WS....not NIN...  | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 09-19-2003, 05:50 PM | #8 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Posts: 45 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 121 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 121 Donate | Drg/Sam works good, but only when they are really high levels.

And it only gives 60% as a sub, in small intervals, so you still have to wait for it. Also, your backstab damage takes such a huge cut, it's soooo not worth it.

Use SC=60% TP then attack 4 times and get 100 use VP then keep attacking and going like that you most likely get 2 or maybe 3 VB's in one fight. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 09-20-2003, 10:39 PM | #15 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,081 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 5,713 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 5,713 Donate | | Quote: | Originally posted by John Doe III

Also, 8 hits not 4, and after 60 it's dancing edge not viper bite.
