Healer Guide/Class Comparison

[Left_Hand]

I have a healer related question, was not sure on which thread to post and as i cant create new threads yet, i decided to do it here... if wrong place, sorry.

I want to play as a white mage, currently leveling a conjurer which stands at level 20 (started playing the game this weekend), from what i read i should go for conjurer level 30 and arcanist level 15 to unlock the white mage job. But should i level conjurer first to 50 before going for arcanist? or is there no advantage going for max conjurer and/or arcanist as well? Before going for white mage.

Thanks.

I would recommend getting ACN to 15 before trying to take CNJ to 50. That will allow you to use a lot of the awesome abilities that WHM brings, which is really valuable for dungeons. You'll probably want to level up ACN at some point anyway for some cross-class skills such as Virus and Eye for an Eye, but generally I'd recommend taking CNJ to 30, then ACN to 15 (or the other way round, if you want to do ACN first) then unlocking WHM once those two are done. There's no real advantage, in my opinion, to getting to 50 on either class before unlocking the advanced job.
