Any Uncommon jobs on Cerberus??Follow

#1 Aug 12 2004 at 9:04 AM Rating: Decent
White-Mage / Ninja


Currently i am leveling my NORG Fame for my scroll's but am i the onlyone on Cerberus who just love's to stir up the "regular" jobs to make a very different style of play, and maybe even more fun :D

Not that i am putting ANY offence towards the common jobs White-Mage / Black-Mage / Summoner
they are great, but i am just wondering if there are more options nobody even tought about and of course they will not be the best, but maybe improve the extra fun to play....

I will test it , and will keep count how many invite's i get or time i get kicked LOL

( to make it an honest count, don't kick me for fun LMAO )

Yeah, I've considered subbing NIN on WHM or BLM for the stat-whored dual wielding of wands, but I don't think it's worth it.

On BLM, it's definitely not worth losing all your white magic: You wouldn't be able to back-up heal/emergency heal, sneak/invis yourself around, Blink/Stoneskin yourself, pull a Div Seal + Curaga to reduce downtime, Raise the WHM (if high enough BLM level) in a worst case scenario, etc.

WHM/NIN would be more reasonable, but I'm not sure how much more useful more MND would be as opposed to the MP boost you would get from a BLM or SMN sub. Not to mention that if you're Taru, you probably get the same bonus from the BLM or SMN sub that you would get from that extra wand.

SMN/NIN would just be dumb. You definitely need that extra MP from the BLM or WHM sub, and the extra magic is actually useful, especially white magic.

Of course, you might be subbing NIN for an entirely different reason that I don't know of and would be interested to hear.

As for uncommon jobs, we all know that SMN/MNK is where it's at!

WHM/NIN would only be good for a taru, they need the mnd 2 wands would offer, but after 51 you should use a light staff any way.

More positive reply then i have tought.. :D

I am an Elvaan and i begun with a Warrior, and i liked it very much, but i liked White-Mage better, i have try'd Red-Mage but somehow i could not get myself to level it all the way to top 30's ( Like my main job ) and eventually get it to replace my White-Mage.... so now i want to do some nice ( medium ) damage, and beeing an Elvaan i can take a hit or 2,3,4 even more :D

I am never afraid to use Divine Seal + Curaga II altough the party get scared realy fast while doing that ( I know the risk's ) .. hope to get rid of that "Fright" when i hit lvl 40 and (need to buy it >< ) put on a Holy Breastplate... and a Dual Holy Hammer :D

Thank you all for the reply and keep up all the nice forums!!!!

( rice ball's are 161 gil after 16 Zinc ore's and 80 yagudo necklace's) Giddiues here i come ( throw's away the Panara Shield & Aspir Knive ) these drop so often that i just steer clear of those NM's ><

I originally had the idea of becoming a powerful SAM/RNG, but when I got the job, I realized it wasn't nearly as fun as I thought it would be. Monk has given me the most enjoyment, so from now I'm just a Monk, usually subbing WAR, THF or SAM. It's all good.

If you're in Altepa or Galaige, gimme a call!

I started off as a THF/WHM thinking I was "original" and doing something different. Stuck with it all the way to lvl30, despite being kicked from parties and suffering ridicule from others saying it was "a worthless combination". Now I'm a RNG/THF which I thought would be pretty common, but I see a lot more RNG/WAR and RNG/NIN than I do RNG/THFs. On the other hand though, while leveling my Ranger, I came across quite a few THF/WHMs which I thought was a little strange, because I'd never seen anyone other than myself use that combination. But if you're looking for just uncommon jobs, I'd have to say Bard is the least common job that I've seen, followed by Beastmaster (although, I prob. don't see a lot of BST since they're normally solo'ing). Next uncommon, I would say is Ranger, although, here lately, I have seen a lot of high level ninjas (or either very rich n00bs) leveling their Rangers. (I personally prefer a RNG/SAM SAM/RNG combo than a ninja). But as far as your WHM is concerned, you might want to try WHM/MNK. I partied with one a while back, and they were surprisingly good. A lot better than you'd expect. But the final decision is up to you. Choose any combo you want, just so long as you have fun doing it. That's my motto.

I have a friend who is planning to sub NIN w/his WHM. He hasn't gotten NIN leveled enough to efficently sub though.

I'll just stick with my MNK/SAM combo :)
