War is more tank oriented and monk i believe is more DD oriented
Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.
thank god someone answerd ok i guess monk it is
good luck

I wouldn't suggest a dark knight subjob, but whatever floats your boat.
As far as WAR or MNK, you'll end up leveling both. WAR is a good sub job for both SAM and DRK, so you'll want to have it for when you're leveling those. MNK is the basic sub job for WAR early on, so you'll have to level that as a sub for WAR at some point. On top of that, I'd suggest leveling THF as well, as THF is a sought-after sub for both SAM and DRK after a certain point.
Anyway, I'd lay off the DRK. About all it offers to a SAM is the attack bonus. Even as a tarutaru, the DRK sub's MP pool will be pretty pitiful, and the halved magic skills won't be strong enough to warrant use of spell casting. Sure, you get more STR, but a WAR takes care of that just fine while adding more useful job abilities. THF is also good for sneak attack/trick attack (SATA) past level 60, and even just SA past 30.
ummm yeah ok i dont understand i thought seeing a evil samurai with BLK MAGIC AND A BIG KATANA WOULD BE COOL
Looking cool and being effective in the game are mutually exclusive sometimes. You're free to do what you want, but don't be surprised if you get lack of invites to parties and other players telling you what they think you should be doing instead.

The point of the game is to have fun. So do what you like, if anybody gives you trouble just blacklist em.
Too big.
And he'll get no where in the game. Great advice!Originally Posted by Garn the Red
Also later on everyone pretty much use Warriors as a DD job, they're great in merit parties I hear.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
While you are correct, it is hard to advance and enjoy the game thouroughly without cooperating and interacting with other players. If your setup is undesireable to them, then there is no reason for them to play with you, and therefore your own enjoyment of the game will suffer.
It kind of sucks that some of the advance jobs don't make good subs. It would have been a lot cooler if there were more efficient combinations out there. I'm a pld and I get annoyed that /war is the only sub that can be used.

Either way ... have fun with it ... i have been in pt's with some funky set ups and i don't think it will hinder you tooo much to be a little funky yourself and do something fresh

As others have said, looking cool and having fun is all good and dandy, but the majority of the FFXI player base won't give a SAM/DRK the time of day simply because there are more effective combinations. While the lack of freedom to experiment with subjobs is often disappointing, people want everyone to function in a party to the absolute best of their ability. That means having the subjob that best compliments your main job.
We're not joking when we say that you'll have trouble progressing in the game as a SAM/DRK. If you want to use fun subjobs, it's best to do it when you're playing solo. Otherwise, you won't get very far.
