Drg/Nin or Drg/Sam

[Xelgadis]

Hello all, I really don't post much, but I browse the boards about every hour or so.....I'm in the American beta and I am just curious about what sub job to pick with my dragoon. I've always been prone to thief/assassin classes in MMOs but I wanted to branch off and play a tank/pet class. Also, I need to think of a good main class to start as. I'm thinking thief, for their evasion capablities. But I'm not really sure any help will be much appreciated. :spin:

If you play as a DRG/NIN then you're most likely subbing NIN for the dual-wield ability, but keep in mind that you won't be able to dual-wield a spear since they are two-handed weapons. You'll be able to dual-wield one-handed swords or a one-handed staff but that's not recommended since the spear is the DRG's best weapon.

As for DRG/SAM, a lot of level 60 and above DRGs are beginning to raise SAM for their level 30 TP charge skill, but doing that requires you to raise two expansion jobs (meaning you need a lot of time on your hands). Until you can both DRG and SAM up to 60 and 30 respectively you'll have to stick with a different support job. Most people like to sub the usual WAR for their HP, attack, defense, and taunt ability.
