Re: What's the best sub???
Once thing I'd like the throw in about /WAR is that there are a lot of people that will tell you its a sub for 70+ only.

That's not true. 70+ is more of a turning point for your gear than your subjobs. At 70 RNG gains its final Accuracy Bonus trait and can shed a good amount of accuracy gear in favor or STR and Ranged Attack gear. You can honestly start subbing /WAR viably at 30 and use it often all the way to 75.

As others have said, /WAR is really about knowing how well your tank is doing. If you have a tank that can't keep hate, then you're gonna find yourself holding back a lot. But if you have a good tank, then you'll know exactly when you can zerg and make the kill happen.

Re: What's the best sub???
Seigan is level 35, 70 RNG so you can't use it at 60. Yay misinformation!~

Re: What's the best sub???
No one seems to be mentioning /cor as a decent sub. At lower levels (After 22 obviously for Hunter's Roll) I would think that the accuracy boost of up to 55 would be a big help for fighting IT mobs and taking some strain off of your need to buy racc gear and maybe use it for a little more str gear. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Re: What's the best sub???
You're wrong.

Rolls as /COR, while still benefiting from the bonus of having the correct job in party (i.e. you as RNG for Hunter's), still suffer a penalty; they will be at approximately half the strength of a COR main's roll.

The exact formula is:

corLVL / targetLVL x bonus total

with corLVL in this case being your SJ level.

That being said, /COR is a fantastic SJ for low-level DDs (particularly in the 20s).




Centurio X-I 1/1 - Celphie 1/1 - Deadly Dodo 0/2 - Doppleganger Dio 0/1 - Jaggedy-eared Jack 0/7 - Joo Duzu the Whirlwind 1/1 - Leaping Lizzy 2/16 - Mimas 0/1 - Odqan 1/9 - Orcish Wallbreacher 0/1 - Ose 1/3 - Sagittarius X-XIII 1/1 - Serpopard Ishtar 3/6 - Silk Caterpillar 1/2 - Tom Tit Tat 0/2 - Trickster Kinetix 0/2 - Valkurm Emperor 6/10 - Wyvernpoacher Drachlox 1/1

Re: What's the best sub???
Even at half the racc you are still getting +27 and that seems like a pretty big bonus to me, personally.
