SAM/???

[Rndm_Perfection]

OK, I tried posting this earlier, but GT must've been down right as I hit post. Basically, I know I want to have main job Samurai with a Polearm. However, choosing a subjob is difficult. Here are my options:


SAM/WAR - It's basic. Adds a little to attack and defense (job traits especially). In later levels I get double attack (added tp). I also have emergency provoke for parties, but I don't want to get stuck being a Samurai tank.

SAM/WHM - I could keep MP to HP and vice verse jewelry in my inventory for any occassion to offset the terrible Subjob MP problems. WHM sub gives me some support in a party if there is no WHM. Later levels I can teleport and Raise which would be cool for a Samurai.

SAM/BLM - I can enfeeble, which would be good on a personal level. At lvl 34 I can use warp which would make it a good time to do questing or supply runs. BLM lets me Magic Burst the skillchains that Samurai are famous for. If I level GK also, I could switch to GK, do my two hour, chain off myself, and then burst (finally switching back to polearm). It would be beautiful.

SAM/THF - Sneak attack adds for nice damage and a 1-minute 100% hit to offset poor accuracy.

SAM/RNG - SAM is #2 for ranged attacks. I would not get the cool Ranger skills, but I would get improved ranged accuracy. Since ranged attacks boost the TP for your main weapon, it could be used sometimes for good damage and easy TP.

SAM/NIN - Dual Weild would be pointless. However, there is Ninjitsu. Because Ninjitsu requires no MP, there is little Subjob disadvantage. There may be Ninjitsu that stacks nicely with Samurai TP abilities.

SAM/DRG - I get jump and improved accuracy, that's about it. The improved accuracy may be necessary though, and the jump not only adds damage, but it may add TP. How often can jump be used? Every minute? If so, it's a bit like sneak attack, just not as amazing.

You could just do what I'm doing.. DRG/SAM (see my topic). But you see.. since I like SAMs I'm not just going to keep Samurai at half... I'm going to lvl it more than that. So I'll be doing two jobs at once. One day I hope to have both DRG and SAM AF armor (although not for a LONG time..).

Also I wont be on until 9:30, starting work at a gas station in half an hour.

I like the Samurai 2HR, armor, and title.

Ah... sorry. But now that I think of it I will also need a sub for SAM (when I lvl SAM... and I dont want to be tank anymore). SAM/RNG sounds the coolest to me.

It doesnt work at all.

Just sub your drg.

Undecided on my sub am I as well. So here's my plan.

I'm keeping war subbed until my sam is lvl 30. Then I'll have meditate, and the true power and worthiness of a sam will begin. People will invite me into parties because I'm sam and not because I can provoke. But, finding a party without meditate is hard, so war will help me there.

So in the mean time, I'll contemplate my sub choices. I thought maybe ranger, but I heard it really doesn't go well with sam (rng/sam however is deemed excellent). I always thought about drg sub, but that's not really a job to be subbed. I thought about nin, but without dual wield, what good would nin be to me? I also thought thf, but...eh, we'll see.

So right now I'm getting parties like mad and its easy street for this sam. I'll have some time to decide.


By the way...
