#1  what jobs to master and combos hello all, new to the forums, new to FFV! perhaps this subject has been beat to death, perhaps not. what jobs are vital, worthy, pointless to master? from what i've read in a couple FAQs vital: summoner, whm, nin, sam, monk, mime worthy:trainer, hunter, blue mage, black mage, thf anyone else have opinions? which jobs should i master? what abilities go best w/ non-inherent jobs? etc etc. here's what i assume would be potentially good combos: whm/sum or blm/sum(both mastered) monk/sam/nin/knight of some sort thf/bluemage/hunter/trainer of some sort i actually want to stay away from mime and try to stick to pure job-esque characters...perhaps i'm thinking too much of ffxi    anyway, some advice or knowledge would be greatly appreciated |

| | well, still being in the early stages of the game (fire ship engine) one combo that seems to be extremely effective is: black mage w/ the monk ability barefist. it seems to be quit the offensive juggernaut not only being able to cast black magic as a blm, but my fight still does roughy 300~400!! as for how formidable it will be as an end-game job/ability combo has yet to be seen!!

 | master the bare class.end of story.of course,easier said than done. master the hunter class for melee characters (bartz and faris stat-wise) and the red mage class for the magical characters (galuf/Spoiler: krile and reena stat-wise).these two classes are extremely useful. |

 | Blue magic is probabley the most useful. Most blue magic spells don't work using your magic stat like other magic. In fact, its more useful on a character with a high HP like a knight or a monk. Whitewind heals HP equal to the current hp of the user, so a character with a high HP can use it more effectively. ???? deals damage equal to how much HP you've lost, so a monk with a high HP who has been owned in a battle can start dealing some massive damage. There are 30 blue magic spells and the majority of them are already available or will very soon be available. Once you learn barefist any class will attack for 300-400 damage if they are equipped with it. But the damage isn't going to increase as you go through the game. Try to learn 2-handed (knight ability) which doubles your attack power, it's more effective than barefist because more powerful weapons are frequently becoming available which can be deadly in two hands. Don't neglect to train a sorcerer. It's quick to learn and lets you cast spells on your sword. So you can cast an enemies elemental weakness on a sword heald in two hands or holding a sword in each hand for massive damage. Hunter has been said but seriously learn sshot. holding two swords means a straight 8 attacks in a row. later in the game when you get the appropriote magic, you can bump that up to 16 attacks consecutively for that character. Black mages are crap (well not really, they have their uses) Time mages are especially useful later as are white mages, but you won't need them in a lot of battles. Summoning CAN be useful and is fun, but the game can very easily be done without the need for summoning a single time. Most abilities aren't that great. I never used a geomancer, a dancer, or a chemist. Samurai's are only useful for learning eqkatana. Beserkers dont offer much. red mage is very useful but takes the entire game to learn. I wouln't master jobs one by one. That way, you end up with a level 6 white mage with no level 6 white magic and so on. But learning 2-handed and then switching to lean sword3 will be very effective and quick. Change your jobs to suit your needs. |

 | Gil Toss is the best move, as long as you have money, and you get that from a samurai. It always hits for 9999, if you have the money of course, and it's worth it. Otherwise, I actually mastered everything. My characters ended up all being bare Butz: X-fight (Magic sword, 8 attacks) Magic sword Reena X-Magic (two hastes on attackers, then two Meteo every turn, by far the best) Time Galuf/Krile White Dash/X-Magic (I like to run, then for big fights, casting two white spells, really helps) Faris X-Fight (Random, typically Passages, so I can see secrets, then depending on the boss, probably white magic for the final boss, just for another healer) THE JACKAL |
