Maybe Shikari / Foebreaker for Balthier since the breaks are really handy for nerfing boses, and Basch has the lowest VIT and thus isn't as good for it (VIT is used in Foebreaker weapons alongside STR). He has the best SPD, which is good for Shikari weapons, plus the best ninja sword is dark elemental and THE best weapon fro the long Yiazmat fight. Monk / BM gives you both white and black magic, and Ashe is the only high MAG char of the three (Balthier and Basch are tied for lowest MAG) while still having good decent STR. Or Monk / Black Mage for Ashe, it's has great synergy: white robes + Holy spell, and 3x Swiftness from license island hopping when neither class alone gets it. Knight / Bushi on Ashe, as she has the best MAG for katanas and the white magic knight gets So, uh, with a good bit of rambling out of the way, I'd love to hear some suggestions for Ashe and Basch, and Bushi and Knight. I've also considered Knight+Time Mage-is that a good combo? That was one option that occurred to me for Ashe, though that was before I realized Time Mage gets heavy armour, and Machinist can a bunch of Time Magic through an Esper, so perhaps it would be redundant. How would a Knight/Red Mage work? Or Knight/White Mage? Or would either job hurt the Knight's damage output heavily? One upside I can think of to Knight/WHM would be that I wouldn't need to use Espers to unlock white magic on the Knight, but I don't know if giving someone else that same Esper would necessarily yield much for my other characters. I hear coupling Excalibur with White Robes hits damn hard and I'm a total sucker for everything holy element, but I'm not sure if I want to double up on Bushi, which seems like the best class to pair with Knight for that purpose. I'd like one of them to use greatswords and the other to use katanas (probably GS on Basch, katanas on Ashe-but iirc Basch combos faster, though I'm not sure how much so, and with katanas having the higher combo rate.) but secondary jobs are driving me crazy. I'll keep them leveled as well because sometimes shit hits the fan.Īnyway, I was thinking I'd make Balthier a Machinist+Uhlan, but I'm a bit undecided about Basch and Ashe. I don't like the other three, either as characters or aesthetically. I want to use Ashe, Basch, and Balthier almost exclusively. White Mage, Time Mage, Machinist, Archer, Bushi pair well with Uhlan for various reason I will leave you to figute out.Let me preface this by saying I'm not min-maxing, as will be readily apparent when I tell you I plan to have Balthier in my main party shooting a gun, at least most of the time. The flexibility of the Uhlan with his other capabiltiies (2 swiftness, rank 2 item lores out of the job category lacking it) also means it can play pivot roles, or act as a chassis for other jobs to work out. Otherwise, it is indeed the highest physical DPS when at Full HP with the Focus Augment and Zodiac Spear. Uhlan, I already linked that thread, but I will repeat: It is a consistent phyiscal nuke only surpassed because Zodiac Age allowed 2nd jobs to bypass equipment restrictions. I will qualify this "2nd Knight" thing as "it is only useful if you have the Greatswords to spare", and the 2nd Knight is Knight/White (Which bypasses the esper requirement in the first place). I'd also recommend not using Uhlan at all and just having a second Knight (because Uhlans have no utility at all, Knight without Espers is the same thing but with Shields and better lategame 2H weapons), but you did say you want all 12 jobs.
