"Intresting" Job Combo's To See Out ThereFollow

I think that I would get alot of criticism for even thinking about these job combinations but I've been playing mages for waaaay too long and wanted to try something "new". Here's a list of what I thought would be nice to see and explinations:

Sam/Rng: I think this combo would be like super duper SCer. Not only would you have awsome TP gain but you would get the benefits of ranged weapon skills too! I can't really find a fault for this combo except for the fact that alot of people want Samurai's for 2nd voke and such.

Rdm/Nin: This combination would probably work best if you were a Taru cause you wouldn't have too little mp. Also, you could dual wield swords/clubs and actually get some tp/int/mnd.

Nin/Rng: Welllll...... so not the greatest idea cause you can't tank/voke but I have noticed that a lot of Guns and Bows can also be used by nins. With katanas and strong ranged attacks with the weapon skills of both I think they would be very effective damage dealers, perhaps better then Rngs. Rngs mostly use knives which do so little damage whereas nins can use katanas which do more damage then knives.

Smn/Brd: Those who are not summoners probably think this is the stupidest combo but I know a few smns that detest main healing. I mean, if they wanted to be a healer, wouldn't they have chosen whm? But anyways, a smn/brd would be like the ultimate buffer. At the same time, they could melee because they don't have to worry about standing back and casting spells. They can stay with the melees and constantly use whatever buffs they want.

Hrm... I can't think of anymore right now but feel free to comment on these ideas or add more. I want to find a really "different" job combination that will work ^^.

sam/ran is a great combo awesome damage and tp attacks.
i am prolly biased though. My play around when i am board job is a sam/rng it is 17sam 16 rng.

I've seen a DRK/RDM... I've done rdm/mnk in the early/soloing levels of a rdm. SAM/PLD is another strange one... MNK/DRK... can't think of any others atm...

Someone in my LS (Elvaan RDM ;_;) was going to come farm for Carby's Ruby with me with... RDM/DRG! Because "it was the only sub I had leveled"... bah, he must have had SOME sub while he was leveling RDM to 30... otherwise, besides being Elvaan, who can make decent RDMs with proper equips and subjobs, he was a total gimp in just about every way, minus perhaps melee. PERHAPS.
/cry

The no sub is probably from the glitch, I have walked around as a 52 WAR no sub before.

Lol, I must say, I don't see ANY point whatsoever in subbing DRG. It doesn't really give you anything does it? I mean, wryven is a 2h special and as a XXX/DRG you wouldn't have it. I mean, POSSIBLY SAM/DRG for the WS benefits but even then, anything else is practically better.

Hrm... and SAM/PLD uhm. erm. okay so no. lol but SAM/DRK now that's a different story. There are a bunch of benefits there, you would have more damage, have an intresting way of casting black magic and the use of Souleater/Last Resort.

I have a friend that uses brd/thf we tell him it is uselss but when you are broke you do what you must.

Then there is the job combination I have done often enough that ppl have just gotten use to seeing me do it: SMN/BLM. My LS mates use to give me so much flack about it...till they realized I had made it all the way to 50 solely on that job combination =P Yes, I have leveled WHM. But it is currently an under-leveled support job at 23 at this time. the only time I level with it is with my RL mate, Sisyphus. Who plays on the same server and is currently a 21 WAR. Gotta keep something in that level range so we can PT together. I'll get it up there eventually...but yeah, SMN/BLM rocks =)

hey...i was a sam/rng and i did tons of dmg so i dant care what u all say about it

i was reading about DRG and it said according to your sub depends on what wyvern does. Rdm makes wyvern buff party members it says. i.e cure and stuff. As long as guy having fun it sounds cool to me.

Someday I'm going to go to the dunes and try to pick up a party as a SMN/BST.

I'll let you know if I get an invite. Then we can all blist that person.

XXX/DRG -- the jumping XXX. :)
PLD/DRG -- the ultimate tanking paradox.
PLD/SMN -- PLD so pure, he can call on the avatars to assist.
BST/SMN -- ran out of pets? call the avatar!

also, i was talking about this with someone:

make an XXX/SMN party, where EVERYONE is an XXX/SMN. sample party would be WAR/SMN, BRD/SMN, RDM/SMN, WHM/SMN, BLM/SMN, DRK/SMN.

OR, make a complete SMN party, where everyone is a SMN. sample party would be SMN/WHM x 2, SMN/BRD, SMN/RDM, SMN/BLM x 2. remember also now that avatars should be able to SC. i'm just curious what the SCs are though. >< (this is inspired from the all BLM party. ;))

Would that be Lovegod by chance?
