Bard in training, problem class

[Morbo]

Well, short story long, I want to end up going the brd/whm route. Obviously, I wasn't thinking of this when I created my character, as a war seems to be most troublesome in this case. I wanted to go the extra 3 levels to get subs and then start levelling whm to 37, but it seems to me the only way to do that would be to either level whm with a war sub, as any decent whm sub would be just as lousy with a war sub as whm itself.

I'm basically looking for a wa to do this relatively quickly without being gimped while lvling whm.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I know, what a first post. I'd been lurking for months, and this problem finally made me sign up.

P.P.S. If this belongs in the bard forum, I apologize, I figured it wasn't entirely a bard question, but more of a job/sub combo question, so I posted here.

just lvl blm to 10 or 15 (takes a day or less) then get whm to 30.

unlock bard and go go go.

as far as leveling whm past 30, getting past 60 takes a ridiculous amount of time the first time through, don't worry about 31-37 yet.

Actually, WHM/WAR works pretty well to 10 (the solo levels). it makes you a bit more durable... pick up a hammer at level 5 and beat the stuffing out of things and cure yourself.

Once you get to 10 WHM, go BLM/WHM to 15, then WHM/BLM to 30, unlock Bard and go go go! (you'll eventually have to level WHM to 37, but no need to do that immediately if you don't want to).

That actually helped so much, thanks a lot guys!

I think you were both pretty much saying the same thing, and that's exactly whant I'm going to do.
