Hmm THF/SAM, DRK/THF, THF/PLD and THF/DRK

[lionx]

Well i aint sure, i wasnt going to say these were good til this person on another board put a few things in about it. Let me paste it here:

THF/PLD

I disagree a bit on this. Even a few damage off can make the difference in whether you zone in time or die trying. So the defense skills of a Paladin DO help a bit. But in truth, not so much that it would help a lot later in the game.

THF/DRK, DRK/THF

I disagree completely. When in a party a Dark Knight/Thief takes full advantage of Sneak Attack. And if 4-10x more damage doesn't help later in the game then that means all melee classes are only good as tanks later in the game. Meaning a Dark Knight would be useless anyway. Also having a Thief as sub gives a nice dex bonus to the Dark Knight allowing most of his high powered attacks to connect with the enemy. So this is actually one of the better combinations possible I think. It just needs skill to be used properly.

THF/SAM

The delay on the weapons add up so you don't gain as much TP in the same duration as you might with a Samurai as Sub. But I agree, Thief/Ninja is the better mix.

So what do you think about this? Is he right that these jobs are good for the THF? Or is he completely wrong?

If u are talking abt thf as main , and asking wat sub is good. Let me say regardless of whatever main job it is, there is just no one fixed best subjob. This question been asked over and over, u should use ur subjob to complement what u are trying to do.

If u are partying for lvl up, if u need to fight bones, sub mnk will be it. for most normal lvl up PT, sub war or nin will be good. Sub sam will only be good if the monster, say lvling up mob or HNM has high evasion that u can hardly hit. Also, sub rdm or whm can be good for hunting coffers, and also for certain HNM whereby thf will be only by the side doing only backstab and status healing. Sub BST can also be useful if u need to do solo NM fights.

for dark, sub thf has its usefulness, like transfering hate, or using backstab for sure-hit on very high evasion mob/ HNM.

Note: if new to the game, focus on using proper subjob for lvling. gaining of other useful subjobs can be done later.

So the THF besides mage classes can be subbed with just about any melee sub(not DRG or something like that -.-) and work well is that waht your saying?

I aint new, i beta tested. I am however new to the field of melee types and i am interested in them. *was a mage in beta*

I have already posted the subs i think is useful for main thf. I do miss out Drk, which has last resort and darkness for WS boost. Other than these, i cant think of other melee jobs that are useful subs.

It depends on what u want to do, lvlling, hunting coffers, killing HNM, ... and lvl of ur main thf affects too, so train/ use the right subs. Sub war or nin will be good all the way to lv 70.
