Thread: Best pair of job skills

  1. #1

    Default Best pair of job skills

    Which are the best pairs of job skills? Some skills go with others, but I'm not too sure of which are the best. The pair I currently use with Ramza is: Samurai w/ Monk techniques.

    Also, if you post a pair, please specify why it is the best.

    Which FF Character Are You?

    Except for Rafa, Malak, and Mustadio, I use their default professions with Math Skills as a secondary skill. So Ramza's a Squire, Agrias is a Holy Knight, etc.... Mainly because nongeneric characters have worthwhile unique skills. I'm also a big believer in the usefulness of Math Skills. For me, the advantages (instant cast time, no MP, unlimited range) outweigh the disadvantages (hitting allies or missing foes).

    Mustadio is a Chemist with Snipe. I chose that profession because Snipe works best with a gun and Chemists can equip them. Plus I can use Item without needing to equip Throw Item.

    I find Rafa and Malak's default professions useless so I make Rafa a Mediator and Malak a Knight.

    My generics are Knights with Math Skills. That way they can equip Excaliburs and Chaos Blades.

    For Ramza, I'd go with Monk with Guts.

    I like Guts because of Scream and Yell, but I LOVE monk because of the ridiculous amount of power he can throw around.

    For any generic, I mix it up. I'll have a Wizard with White Magic, or a Summoner with Time Magic, or a Ninja with Item... Just whatever accomodates the next fight.

    I like a Dragoon with two hands for support and charge as secondary

    FFXIV Character

    Gamina Condoin (Sargatanas)

    Im a fan of Knights with two swords (2 Chaos Blades, or 1 and an Excalibur) and Blade Grasp. then usually either MNK or Chemist as secondary jobs.

    the reason or this is:
    2 Chaos or Excalibur Swords deal Massive DMG
    Blade Grasp Prevents most close range DMG
    and MNK & Chemist can Heal and Revive without MP.

    Get a low charge time character that is female and have her as a geomancer with dancing skills. She'll be excellent at inflicting status ailments.

    This was good for those times I stayed around and leveled... for those times I breezed through the game... .Geomancer/Ninja were quite handy. Duel Wield + funky stat magic + Sunken State
    Pray, Heal, Influence with Giant Hammer.... This is how white mages get their work done. You all didn't think those red triangles on my robe are there for good looks did you?

    If we are only using the normal classes I would say anything along to lines of (whichever class with the most MA)/Calc or maybe Knight with tons of stuff from other classes. The best class is obviously Ramza's special Squire. Nothing beats Scream.
