WHM sub capping questions

I am currently leveling WHM to 37 to sub for MNK for endgame reasons. I am totally new to WHM and I was wondering which magic skills I should work on capping at 37 (I'm not taking WHM to 75). Thanks for the help.

Just out of curiousity, why would you ever use MNK/WHM? For endgame, you'll probably be using /war, /nin, or the occasional /drk for all of the lucky kraken club owners out there, but /WHM? I don't see the use of that in endgame unless you're just talking about soloing and chi-blasting.

For white mage up to 37, all you really have to worry about is curing your party members, protect, shell, bar-spells when needed, and -na spells. Healing and Enhancing magic skills are what you'll really need when leveling.

I can't imagine that you'd need any of the WHM magic skills as MNK/WHM (nor do I see many uses for MNK/WHM period at endgame, even as a member of a very successful HNMLS for the past 4 years).

Realistically the only skill that would even matter would be Enhancing Magic, for boosting Barspell potency and Stoneskin potency.

But honestly it's not that big a deal either way.

Re: WHM sub capping questions

MNK/WHM endgame pretty much means chi blast build... unless it's for some special low man strat where you need to heal yourself or something... for 37 sub, I wouldn't worry too much about skills as a MNK unless like Icemage said, you want to max out stoneskin or something...

Re: WHM sub capping questions

i'm wondering if it is possible to get more MND out of subbing BLU and setting only spells that give you +MND. i am at work so i can't see how many +MND spells there are available at sub level and if it would add more than subbing whm.
