Most usefull job

Hello All, I need a little help.

I have all my jobs Lvl 30+ and getting to archer lvl 42 soon.

I already have MNK Lv.50 but I would like to have a second level 50 for end-game content.

I was thinking of GLA but the skillsare just meh to me. I am a very impatient person and I like to lead the party. But also, I like doing good Damage (black mage comes to mind)

In your honest opinion, which job will never run out of usefullness and is a good to have in any party situation?

Thank you!

thm/war..............

War sounds like it would b for you.

The one job that will never run out of usefulness? That would be White Mage.

whm. duh.

whm if you dont mind healing, you'll probably always need 1-2 per given event.

War for DD and tank

Thm for safe backline DD

WHM is silly useful. First off there is of course healing. Then you got a nuke set that is halfway decent, SLEEP, and standing MP regeneration moves that can keep a spell mindful WHM permanently up.

BLM is slightly less versatile but a great DD and really good for sleepga.

every party will need mage...sigh....

Everyone should have WHM and BRD leveled, no excuses.

I think your best choice would be Bard:

1) More than one Brd can be used in a party, if there are a lot of Brds you could even consider switching to Arc.
2) Damage is good.
3) You have utility to back up your party and yourself.
4) You can be a puller, guide the party through dungeons, get chests if needed while rest of party kills certain mobs.

Pending any major changes on how SE's content is focused BLM would probably be the best best.

You only need 1 WHM, 1 Tank(WAR) for nearly everything right now, but BLM/THM is the best class for AV and CC 5-chest speed runs as well as Ifrit and having more than 1 in the group only benefits.

The most useful job? I thought the whole point of jobs was that they were supposed to be situational not all-rounders.

sad to see people refer to only war as tank, if your heart is set on tanking, war is great for most current aplications, but nothing survives better then a PLD. just my opinion. but then again I have been testing the crap outa both of em. I like em both but each as its arena.

Sure, but what do you do when almost all the situations call for the same/similar strategies? Attack from ranged!

They absolutely can only be beaten using that strategy or is that just the easiest way? I really don't know, I am asking.

I understand that but, nvm.

Hello everyone, thanks for the good input in general.

I think I will go for BLM, seems only the good choice since I don't like BRD.. WHM well, maybe later

WHM, hands down. We're the best healers, can do ranged DD with our nukes, and best of all even with our job equipped we can still access sentinel for stuff like Ifrit, and Featherfoot for MP restoral if we're being hit. Oh, and who doesn't like a weakness free raise?

aren't there too many WHMs?

No. Being able to be on WHM is an asset. You'll rarely find a group that can't move things around and fit you in on WHM because someone else would rather be on something else.

You're good with BLM though, it's basically just as popular/desired.

WAR, is the most fun class imo and is the hands down crowd favorite for tank. WHM are needed in every party. BLM burn parties just kick all kinds of ass. The real question is why choose? You don't need to, just get them all to 50.

Bard in FFXIV is nothing like in FFXI, it can be an all-out DPS machine with a support background; quite frankly, it's my 2nd favorite job behind Warrior (and I hated bard in FFXI along with those that played XI's bard).

Anyways, Molly said it best right above me.

whm of course.
