there is just something satisfying about watching 5 MNK/PLD's wail on a Bone while you are tanking it as a White Mage and it can't even attack because of your job traits and defensive skills.
That is definitely out-of-the-box thinking, but this kind of thinking/finding new job combos was the most fun aspect of FFXI IMO and it didn't break the game by allowing things LIKE RDM/SCH having having tier 5 or 6 nukes with tier 5 or 6 cures or RDM/BLU with provoke and Sentinel which is equivalent to GLA with Cure III, Sacrifice III, and Stygian Spikes.

Personally RDM/BLU was my favorite setup especially at 80+ when I could do Dia III > Wild Oats > Chain Affinity > Vorpal Blade > Chainspell > Terror Touch > Water IV spam for around 7k damage or this w/o Chainspell and nuke spam for 1.5-2k damage (just barely possible to solo MB with tier 4 + fast cast). Doing this kind of damage while having 850+ defense (with taco) and -32ish damage per hit phalanx. Then FFXIV came out and I converted subs. XD
