Black Mage and subjobs

[Lionx]

Allot of Mithra and Hume still get +MP, reserve MP is always good.

DRG/BRD is the suck, you get half the power for the Madrigal because of no instruments and its halved and only one song at a time, where as /WAR will help alot more. WHM/BRD for ballad works because healing is your primary, and ballad isnt affected by singing skill. There is a difference in DRG/BRD and a RDM or WHM/BRD.

O yea indeed, but i never said /BLM was to nuke right? I however did outdamage a RDM casting blizzard in a magic burst because of my naturally higher INT and it blew through Distortion Skillchian and it did 99 dmg max, while he did 34. The point is that /BLM has more ulitilty and all for the exp party. Warp, Escape, Conserve MP, and other goodies are there. /RDM doesnt have it and /BLM gives more MP. /SMN is basically MP only hence why it can work, i dont like it. /BLM gives you more room to work with and you really dont know Conserve MP until you get it, even if its a bit random. If i was to pick, WHM/BLM over most other subs, and healers a bit more eaiser to find higher lvls.WHM/BLM is not limited, in fact i think its more diversified.

EDIT:

Just a simplified version:

Whm/blm: conserve MP(too underestimated), Warp, Escape, Elemental Seal (it works on Paralyze/Slow/Silence too), and Sleep(saved parties ass so much especially in conjunction of Elemental Seal). Magic bursts not a big factor due to whm's lack of elemental magic, but on certain mobs and the right skillchain you can sheer right through them and do max dmg.

Whm/brd: ballad is like auto-refresh, but for everyone, not just you. Lower base MP though - you are giving up some of your max MP to ballad the rest of the party. Not bad if you got no refresher in the party, this is of course, post 50.

Whm/smn: higher base MP, auto-refresh. Summons pretty much useless, except maybe aerial armor. The level 30 /smn earrings are a nice perk. This is of course, post 50.

Whm/rdm: lots of spell duplication. Fast cast, dispel at high levels. Generally not as good as /blm.
