Knights are the best job class, and I am prepared to defend that statement.

[Mwork]

A party of Two Sworded, Magic Defense Upped, Chaos Bladed, Excalibured, Damage Splitting Knights with Draw Out would fare quite well against those Wizards.



But anyway, on to my analysis of Lans Tartare's Wizards

Lemme say this before I start, that's a VERY good party! Just a couple of small things that might cost you the battle.

If the Knights were equipped with Two Rune Blades, a Wizard Robe, and a Magic Gauntlet, their magic abilities would be quite good. Much better than before. Holy would damage the Wizards (the high-faithed ones) by 671 HP with neutral zodiac affinities. That's quite good. The 3 Faith Wizards would get a worthless 24HP taken from them. Plus, the Knights would be healing for 751HP, even higher than the damage they can inflict.

If in case one of your Wizards did get Innocented, then there's no way in hell you'd be able to Esuna if off. They've got ZERO faith for the time that Innocent is on them, remember? This means absolutely no magic spell will have any affect on them.

That Reraise won't take effect as quickly as you said either. If I'm not mistaken, Wizards aren't that fast of a Job. And Reraise activates in the time it takes for the Wizards' CT to get from 0 to 100. That's a much bigger waiting period than you would expect.

And with Magic Defense Up, a Chirijiraden that would normally hit for 600HP (with neutral affinity) would now hit for 450HP. a Kikuichimoji that would hit for 320HP would now cause a small 240HP, and a Flare that would damage for 726HP would be doing 545HP worth of damage.



Here's how a fight between Jay's Knights and Lans Tartare's Wizards would take place:

The strategy here would be to kill the Draw Outers first. That way, it'll be more difficult for the Chantaged ones to revive when they get killed. So, maybe like three of the Knights would stay behind and calculate like madmen while the other two (equipped with Bracers) went forward to attack the low faithers. The high faithed Wizards would get their MP destroyed by the first Knight, then get killed by the next two, revived, then killed, revived, then killed because the Knights have permanent Haste and would get their turns in before them. Or, if parameters allow, since the Knights go first, and the two groups have relatively high faith, the Knights could just calculate Break on those two (three?) high faithed Wizards. And if that somehow can't be achieved, the the three Knights just have to cast Doubt Faith as much as possible on everyone excluding themselves. Then the high faith Wizards would be screwed for the rest of the battle. All the while, the two Two Sworded Knights would be getting their HP completely restored three times each round and they also have permanent Regen and would therefore be able to hit the Draw Outers without any fear of dying. The Excalibur would hit, depleting the Wizard's MP, then the superpowerful Chaos Blade would hit the MP-less Wizards, more than likely causing death.


So, in actuality, those Wizards have pretty big chances of losing.

And those are my two cents.


As a side note, I personally love Draw Out much more than Math Skill for that same reason you stated. It isn't affected by low faith and ignores all evasion percentages.

But....you think Chantages are normal equips???
And the Chameleon Robes on the Wizards seem a bit useless. Granted, it would help for the high faith Wizards, but the Knights could just do like the Wizards and use Flare or any other attacking spell. And the C.Robes would do the 3 Faith mages practically no good at all. They would only be recovering 24HP, which wouldn't help them the least bit.











All this talk about which Job is the best got me thinking. Which class truly is the best? You know, using only abilities from that one class. That would render more accurate results as to which Job is best, I believe.
