View Full Version : Whats your favourite jobs, and why?
What's your favourite jobs, and why are they your favourite?
Anyone who knows me will know I absolutely love to play THF more than anything! The reason why? Because it's so helpful. We can deal great amounts of damage, and not only that we can position ourselves and use our abilities to make our weaponskills do many times more damage than they would on their own.
We can also use our abilities to increase hate on a tank, this becomes very useful if you have a crappy PLD tanking, just hit the mob with a TA Dancing Edge and that tank won't lose hate anymore, lol. Also comes very handy with NINs.
THFs are also pretty good at soloing, we can use Bloody Bolts to steal back health we may lose, this can often turn the tide against tougher monsters when we solo. We also have the highest natural evasion and some of the recommended gear for THF has Evasion + attributes.

I love loads of jobs.
I love Red Mage for the fact that RDM can do virtually anything, only level 41 at the moment but still loving it. RDM (or BRD) is a vital part to any party, so I'm hopeing I can level up pretty quick. Plus the AF is secks.
I love Warrior, Warrior/Ninja especially, heavy damage dealer, the ability to use Ninjitsu and dual wield axes and all that stuff. I love it and I'd level it all the way if I could, I probably will eventually but I hate leveling Ninja as it is, so it'll have to wait until I'm richer.
I love White Mage too, thought not as much as I used too, White mage is a questing machine, with access to spells like Sneak and Invisibility, WHM doesn't need to splash out on medicines and such to go explore high level areas, as well as the fact that WHM can get anywhere quickly with the teleport spells and subbing BLM for Warp.
I haven't tried every job, but so far, aside from Ninja/Warrior there's none I don't really like, the only reason NIN isn't one of my favourites is because of the cost and I seem to be eternally broke >_<;;
out of the jobs i have tried red mage, just because they get a bit of everything, and you end up doing different rolls in groups, but the one im working towards is dark knight with samurai sub, for all the attack bonus and the tp gain,
If y'all know me well you will know that I will say my fave job is...
DRAGOON!
I knew that I was gonna love this job before I even started playing. :P Always loved the jump abilities they had in older FFs, and Kain and Freya and the like were always one of my favourite characters. Lances and polearms are my favourite weapons also! =D
Second would have to be Paladin or White Mage, White Mage because it's the ultimate transport device :P Can tele/warp anywhere and help people out that are in trouble. Paladin because...it's just cool. :P And has cool armour. xD
My favourite job is ofcourse SAM :D One honourable job, powerful and a ton of TP gain >.>d Dragoon was something I was gonna try after I was done with SAM or something, since it is my second fav. job(yes, Im a huge DRG fan too, one really huge one :P), followed by PLD =P
My least favourite has to be Red Mage... FAR too busy >< xD
i like drk sub drg in ballista :O but i like DRK more cause i am lazy to tank.
in December update, i will be drg full time.
Now I'll explain why I love my second favourite job, Samurai.
Samurai is powerful, while our weapons may not have the highest damage, or the lowest delay the key to our power comes from our abilities to Skillchain. I think Samurai is the class that was made to skillchain. Their TP gain and Storing abilities help them to skillchain many times a fight. Their weapon skills can often be used solo and still do some decent damage if used at the right time. The Samurai's Great Katana weapon skill's are a whole different range of elements, Samurai's are a key part in making some of the better Skillchains later in the game such as Darkness and Light.

Tank? O_o DRG shouldn't tank post-Valkurm. XD Do you mean first voke? lol :P
nah i was a subless noobie war before lol (war 52 and i subbed drg 15 :XXXX)

Used to be pld for its nobility but somehow I found a new love....
BRD ftw~~ coz we are worth it xD
We decrease downtime to a bare minimum and our songs make the pt more effective on the whole.. not to mention Soul Voice + paeon or ballad which is mini benediction or refresh at the rate of a regen xD
Also, who can decline singing Mithras :)
Sorry lol... 4 am... my brain is half gone here ><

well so far i'm BLM53, and its getting boring, was great fun at startm but now i cant solo crap anymore, easy prey can kill me (tarutaru) unless i bind or sleep em >_<
Ive been lvling DRK though, lvl33 and its awsome! i love the damage i deal, and to steal hate off tanks (hehehe no PLD can keep hate away from me :P)
Especially when i do: Berserk + Last resort + Souleater, it seems mobs just go insane on me (got me killed lots of times too :P)
another job i love is RNG, its awsome, people claim it to be gimped after the ranged attack changes, but hell its gotten more exciting for me, i now actually gotta move arround lol, instead of pressing 1 macro :P
guess i'm really into dealing heavy damage.
Job i hate are: White mage(its my sub, but i hate lvling it, i'm gimped half the time)
Dragoon(why does every dragoon think he can out damage a DRK or BLM? just makes me mad, its the damn flying rat that does all the damage dealin work lol)
and Ninja (God low lvl ninjas get killed even quicker than a BLM fighting an IT++ mob! they have no defence of protection what so ever, just evasion, wich wont save ur ass against an even match or higher lmao, no wonder they got shadows, wich are expensive as hell to use on Asura (Stack of Shihei toolbags: 150k!!)
dont underestimate drg, sure they might not out dmg us drks, but they can hit more thus faster tp, not to mention the jumps

Yeah, not to mention they get Penta Thrust, which deals heavy in level 50 cap Ballistas, and its damn hell handy in 60 and uncapped...even SAM could go with this move, obviously :P I was fighting a 1v1 with Urbanmyth the other day, dealt over 600 damage with just one Penta on my SAM @-@ We obviously need to Third Eye the move but its hard to count the TP they have cause of their jumps...
DRG is a nasty job in Ballista, their jump abilities totally throw us off trying to estimate when theyhave TP< and Delequiox with his SAM/DRG and his mediating and his jumps, he's pretty deadly.

hmm i see, well a DRG still can kill me as BLM :P
Tarutaru Blackmage Vs. Hume dragoon Round 1:
Taru: Run Away!!
DRG: Get back here lil rat!
Taru: AAAAHH!!.....huh wait...
"Taru turns arround and faces the dragoon"
"Taru starts casting Bind on the dragoon"
"Dragoon is bound"
Taru: hehehe take that!!!
DRG: Go pet get him!!
Taru: I dont think so!!
"Taru starts casting Sleepga on the Wyvern"
"Dragoon & Pet both asleep"
Taru: Hahahah ok now for some fun!
"Taru uses Elemental Seal!"
"Taru Starts casting Tornado on the dragoon"
"Taru casts Tornado on the dragoon"
"Dragoon takes 1108 damage"
"Dragoon was defeated by Taru"
Muahahaha The power of sleep & Acient Magic!

Its even worse when he has his ranger sub on his SAM...no way to stop his attacks...at least we cant...Dragonvc can but we cant xD Seriously, how can you stop a Sidewinder, followed with a sharpshot+barrage, followed with another sidewinder, and several other attacks beside his normal attack, then pulling off a third sidewinder when his meditate is done ticking? I dont think one Third Eye stops it, and /NIN sub provided useless against it as well :P Now that he has a Soboro, shadows are a little bother for him at all...
But yeah, with /drg, he can self SC like nuts...he friggin' solo'd the Light Skillchain without 2 hour...I mean that has to be amazing xD

Um...Stoneskin? blink? wont that work? ive seen people stop a Hexa strike with stoneskin, sure a sidewinder can be stopped too by it, its melee dmg aint it?
but yeah, RNG WS's are pretty hardcore, ive seen someone hit an Unlimited Shot @ 300%, he hit an IT crab with Shell on for 800+ dmg, i was stunned by it. cause my freeze only did 450dmg on it lmao

Blink wont work, blink is thesame for him as shadows :P Sure if you go for a Utsusemi Ichi and followed with a Ni, you can live a while, but by the time you can cast ichi again for cover, he would have started his WS rage lol :P And stoneskin can stop it, but the question is, WHEN will you cast it? xD Surely on forehand yeah in a random ballista but, it wont last forever is all Im saying =P
Oh, and on 1v1's, buffers are never allowed on forehand either, just to say =P Its just that, once he starts, there's no stopping it :P xD He even self SCs the sidewinders too, if I didnt mention that already =P
Trust me MoFantasy, once we get you in a ballista on Fenrir you can see for yourself, Delequiox is an unstoppable Ballista machine. When I last ballistad with Tsuji we had some people from Deathdealers. Deathdealers were the Fenrir server Ballista Royale champs, they're the best ont he server basically, and it's scary, lol.
I even got my ass handed to me by Someguy, but I almost beat him, almost, if I hadn't missed that last move he'd have been mine.
DRG is a nasty job in Ballista, their jump abilities totally throw us off trying to estimate when theyhave TP< and Delequiox with his SAM/DRG and his mediating and his jumps, he's pretty deadly.
ever seen a drk/drg @ 73-75? their jumps with soul eater can cause atleast 300-350 dmg per jump and it will stack with blood weapon, meaning, i can get back 700 HP with no problem.
DeathDealers, the Ballista champs of Fenrir :P I know half of them lol xD I challenged Urbanmyth (DeathDealer's Dragoon) to a 1v1 in Diorama and he accepted >w< If I lose, at least I'll learn from my mistakes and hopefully become better. :D I think it's unfair when they keep moving behind you so that you get the "You cannot see <Name>" message and miss your attack, though. =/ Fights should be honourable and to the face! >=O lol
but sometimes, facing the butt is all good :P
You just say that cause you're a mithra fanboy. :P You...you...MITHRA FANBOY!
xP
It just sucks if you go on on one and the person you're fighting hides behind you >.>
't is cowardice I tell ye cowardice! :P
at the moment im stuck between BLM and WHM, I like BLM for its offensive spells but I like WHM cause of buff abilities and stuff. So yeah hard to choose who I want to be main.
My favourite jobs are BLM and RDM. BLM as main and RDM as sub. This is because while I wouldn't mind the ability to Cure well with a WHM sub, I don't like to have to backup heal. I like to blow things up, more than anything. And rumours has it that RDM offers a nice supplement to a BLM in terms of spells needed to obliterate the enemy, which so far I can agree upon. I just love it when my pt is fighting an IT++ monster and it just gained Defence Boost or some crap, they can't hit it and I cast Dia or Poison and it says "<t> falls to the ground" XD
Besides, who don't like to feel the dark energy of black magic surging through their bodies, culminating in a gust of power aimed straight at the unsuspecting foe, decimating them with little more than the power of my own mind, its the only time I feel ALIVEEEEEEE!
*ahem*
Hence, BLM/RDM for me :)

SAM and DRK
I love drk cus drk does awsome dmg in WS and in end game i love the ws animation of it. Also DRK is fun using magic like drain absorb spells. Only thing i wish drk would gain faster tp.
I love sam too cus sam get mad fast tp and its fun. U get mostly solo 1 WS and also get rdy to sc with a sc partner.
well right now i am lvling blm because i just love blowing stuff up but once i am high enough to fight the avatars i will have smn as my main and i cant wait bst is pretty fun for a couple of hours nin is too expensive rdm like theother guy said is too busy whm is fun but people get too needy havent lvled rng yet drk is but because u use scythe and scythe is my favorite weapon mnk is annoying boost every 10 seconds gets really old almost done beating paladin so dont know about that much and havent beat drg yet but i really look forward to it thf is fun because of th and th2 dont like war sam is cool because of the tp gain bard are really cool and cheap and thats all that i can think of right now
