Thank you once again for the info.
I am currently a lowly level 30 SAM just dinged it this morning, however I always buy ahead for my jobs.
It's just that, certain items I will need to go endgame with my SAM and THF like those GKs and an Assault Jerking are Rare/Ex so I will have to level up my two jobs and get lucky enough to get them. Level gear I want to know about would be like level 50,50,65,70,75 whatever you can recommend would be best for xp parties. I just want to know efore I go blow gil on gear I shouldn't, example: the black cotehardie I got for THF and RNG someday ><.
I will more than likely be leveling up my RNG as well so I will have Throwing, Marksmanship, and Archery all maxed by the end game and decent subs for the other. I will someday level up my NIN 13 to be used as a sub, but I enjoy being a RNG/THF and have heard good things about THF/SAM, and RNG/SAM. I like unique jobs and as I usually am the one to start parties anyway so I doubt I will get less invites lol.
I really enjoy my job combo of THF/RNG for pulling and LOVE SAM/THF. I was doing nearly 300 (285 to be exact) damage like every minute with a Sneak Attack Double Thrust. It was beautiful and yes I am leveling up both GK and Polearm because they each seem, at least to me, to do better against certain mob types. For instance, I hit a lot more and do more DMG per swing with my Spear against the Yhoatar Mandragoras than with my Kotetsu.
It's just a wonderful feeling laying out the almost the same amount of damage an EES would do at that level nearly every minute.
Back to the gear thing, I was wondering since I am not called on to tank without a WAR sub if Jujitsu Gi is worth it and Ochiudo's Kote as well. You know, expensivve gear, how long will I use it.
I want to get gear I can wear for many-a-level so my gil spending isn't out of control since SAM,THF,and RNG will be leveled up every five or ten levels(I will be periodically alternating I hope, but SAM is just so dang fun^-^)
Thanks for taking your time to help out a fellow SAM.
