EDIT: Oops, meant to post this in FFXI forum.. please move it because I can't delete it.

About a week ago I was thinking of being a Ninja.. but then I said "screw it, I'll just stick with Paladin...". Well now I'm thinking of being a different job (most likely Ninja). There's a reason for this: Paladin seems like a boring job. I mean, Paladins are tanks... so this is basically what I'm looking at:
Provoke
Attack
Cure to gain hate/Provoke again
rinse and repeat.
I mean, right now I think battles are pretty boring... and If I'm PLD I'll be doing pretty much the same thing since I'm usually the tank of every party that I'm in.

At least with Ninja theres Ninjutsu magic and Dual Wield (which by the way, is absolutely kick ass, everytime I see a NIN w/ dual wield I cant stop looking because its so awesome). But then there's a problem of being a Ninja.. no, it's not the gil I'm worried about, it's the subjob. I can go NIN/WAR or NIN/THF. Most will say NIN/THF is the best but whenever I /sea all NIN 90% are NIN/WAR. And I've heard that most of the time you wont even be accepted into a party if youre a NIN w/o WAR as sub.

But then I could go NIN/THF which technically is the best (much needed DEX and AGI bonuses I believe, plus sneak attack).

So, I don't know... I'd like to hear from Rndm and Ominub, tell me what you guys think because I'm confused right now. I just think PLD will be kind of boring (although I do still think it's a cool job... just boring).
