Job combinations, thinking outside of the box.

[Selph]

With the new additions of DNC and SCH, I got to thinking, anyone think of any interest job combinations outside or the obvious /whm, /blm, /war and /nin. If you happen to think of any, post examples. I think this could be interesting. I'll start w/ one I saw on wikia today.


Browsing some Summoner forums on Wikia today, and found mention of SMN/SCH as a possible job combination.

At first I was kinda meh about it, but really...SCH can apparently add weather effects to specific player.. Summoner's Horn... -3 avatar perp cost. Now depending on if SCH will have any WHM spells w/out having to /whm, I think this could become a viable option for any endgame siuation.

Knowing even so, this won't make much of a difference, it would help in in general situations where prolonged usage of avatars (BCNM, soloing, Dynamis, Limbus, HNM, etc) would become less cumbersome, allowing the SMN more time to benefit the situation as opposed to... summon, BP, release, rest (repeat).

So, saying /SCH gave naturally a Cure I-III and a few other select support spells, would you rather have /SCH as opposed to /WHM. If not, would you all still see this as being a viable arrangment.

Let's see what the quetz community thinks.

I don't have very much experience in say. . the smn area, so I'd be really interested in seeing some of the feedback from the more experienced summoners and the like.

I think /sch is a very neat idea. ;o

 

[Selph]

That's really main reason I posted, to get some real feedback, but also giving people the opportunity to talk about inovative and new job combinations is always nice.

If the weather changing abilities in SCH are below 37, that will be my new sub for SMN. Plus I won't take my Summoner's Horn off, ever. ^^

I'm thinking about how the weather changes will be maintained. What if I change the weather to Windy and a SCH in a PT in the same area changes it to Lighting or Blizzard for MB? ; ;

 

[Vilurum]

My understanding was that the weather changes applied only to a single target, not to the area as a whole.

And SCH seems like it could potentially be a very good overall general-purpose "mage sub". Or, if too many useful things are 38+, it might not.

 

[Mishaela]

Does Scholar get Curaga and -na spells? If not they'd be more comparable to /RDM than /WHM.

/SCH seems like it could be a pretty good sub, but only depending on how things work when compared to using it as a main job. It somewhat worries me though, if they can enhance Black Magic that much, won't it make BLM/SCH and RDM/SCH 2-hours incredibly broken?

Or raise, reraise, Erase.

One thing that has me interested in is the adjustment to Rdm with increase "front-line" magic. With that maybe Pld/Rdm might make an interesting combo, though the lost of provoke will prolly not make it too useful but then again it might be.

but all in all i kind of don't see the melee scene changing too much from what is already out there. As for mages i think Sch is really going to be changing things up quite a bit which has me excited.

 

[Selph]

Really makes me excited to get my AF from dynamis Xarca and Beau now. Also, there are some awesome " in 'this type of weather" get this effect gear, hopefully these could become some really awesome gear. So lets hope these abilities and some more abilities are gonna become at or under level 37, making it a prime sub job for alot of mage jobs. Only jobs I'm having trouble fitting into would be BRD or BLU.

Either way, I think I will make it a point to level SCH to at least 37 for subbing, even if it turns out that subbing it is conditional.

 

[Ewok]

I will probably take SCH to at least 37 to sub for BLM, maybe further. I am toying around with the idea of BLU/DNC, and I may take DNC to 75 after I finish SMN.

 

[Zaltana]

Im gonna lvl dancer for sure. But its possible that SCH will be a decent sub. but the lack of AoE spells as well as raise will still probably keep /WHM in the lead.

 

[Liefe]

It had raise 1 and erase at the fan festival.

 

[Inunabe]

Well just as I have with all my other jobs I'll do the same with DNC. And that is at some point I'm sure I'll try out DNC/BRD. It works pretty great with alot of jobs that most people are like..wtf? So I'll give it a shot there too. Since DNC seems to be using tp for their abilities /brd could have some potential at lower levels with being able to use madrigal on yourself for the increased acc. Was a pretty decent combination with drg, sam and rng at early lvls.
