Best Sub to take in preparation for PAL/WAR?

[Xyliia]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I figured the Paladin forum-goers would have better experience with this than just the general warrior forum folks.

I'm currently a level 20 Elvaan Warrior. Once I hit 30 I'm planning to go PAL/WAR, however, until that time I'm in a bit of a bind.

What would be the best subjob to take with my warrior right now in preparation for the switch at 30 to PAL/WAR? I've heard several different answers for this - some people say WHM to give my white magic skills a boost, others say MNK, others say don't bother and grind all the way to 30 as fast as you can.

Pallies out there - what would you guys do, if you could do it all over again? I want to be the best paladin I can be when the time comes, and as such, I want to have myself adequately prepared for the job beforehand.

monk would only help your war so when you chnage to pally/war monk will have no effect altohugh monk is best sub for the war at low lvs hp boost and counter

Well ummm...he/she asked what she should sub until level 30
You can't have two subjobs at the same time so it wouldn't matter what she subbed with her warrior.

well xylia asked what would PREPARE her for pld/war not waht to sub till 30:sweat:
what i think is good preporation for a paladin is to level up your white magics such as cure and stuff so when you change to pld you will have a good magic to aid you and your party early on
...... but what do i know im a noob:confused:

Im not saying this the best thing to do but this is what I did... I would continue going War tell lvl 40 so you dont have to go back and relevel your sub again. I chose to go to lvl 40 because you never know when a new patch or expansion patch comes out that will raise the lvl cap to 80 ^^.

As far as sub jobs go, this is where It gets tricky. I personaly went thf so that I could gil farm and If I lost aggro with my War I could sneak + sturmwind to get it back But monk clearly is the best sub job up to lvl 30, and depending on if you want to invest the time I would suggest going sam sub after lvl 30 to lvl 40, but again that is just if you want to be the best war to lvl 40. Shield/armor break and then renkeiing with sturmwind is nice :0. My whm friend just resently asked me why I didnt start with whm sub to be a weak pld like war. Truth is I really think war/whm is usless you just dont have enough mp to anything but you would get a chance to improve on your healing skills before taking the leap to Pld/war.

But what it comes down to is how much time you have and what you want to do, and how good you want to be at your job.
