So are the new Jobs worth using?

I'll be getting FF V Advance soon and I was wondering if the new Jobs are worth using? In the original game, my party set up like this

Bartz - Knight, Mystic Knight, Lancer, Mimic
Reina(or Lenna) - White Mage, Time Mage, Blue Mage, Mimic
Galuf/Krile - Black Mage, Summoner, Geomancer, Mimic
Faris - Monk, Ninja, Samurai, Mimic

This is the same party setup I'm gonna use when I get the GBA version. However, if the new classes are worth using, I will make some changes

From what I hear the Gladiator is quite the pwner.

Gladiator's Finisher move is EXTREMELY powerful, but balanced with about a 1/3 of doing nothing. Cannoneer is pretty okay, but I've yet to play it extensively. Nothing to write home about. Oracle has it's perks, but more useful for it's ability to reduce Enemy encounters.

Apart from the Gladiator's obvious ub3r.

nope ._.

but I still Use Necromancer for the extrodinary cheap MP cost for Uber damage.

gladiator isn't that special. finisher is nice I guess, but it's not like you can't kick ass without it. the slash-all skill or whatever it's called is really useful, though.

cannoneer is fun.

i haven't done the new dungeon yet so maybe the new classes are good for it.

I definetly reccomend collecting everything for the Necromancer.

or at least gathering kills for the spells that counts

They don't offer anything that can't be done better with existing job combinations. Nothing can ever beat dualwield + rapidfire (and spellblade for certain bosses).
