Nobody has any real clue about how SE will run with the 99 CAP. Will it be in certain areas only? Will subs still stop @ 37 or go to 49?

Lets just say for sake of this thread 99BST/49???. Lets have some fun and weigh the pros and cons of old subs and some possibly new viable options.



BST/DNC, was decent in the past but as most who've played it, you tend to sit on Finishing Moves and TP, not anymore with Reverse Flourish Open @ 45 along with Haste Samba. Waltz and Healing stay the same, but the addition of Haste with already native Acc Bonus JT and reverse flourish IMHO will make /DNC a new go to sub for BST and a lot of other DD. Oh and Violent Flourish, when it lands is awesome.

So what do you all think?

So much information to process in these announcements... I can't seem to wrap my mind around it all yet.

I'm just not looking forward to levelling /rdm and /nin to 49... I laid those jobs to rest a while ago with the intention of never touching them again.

BST/WHM with Haste will be quite sexy too.

At least nin/bst is a decent combo and should make leveling nin fairly painless.

BST/RDM will allow us to put away our Gaudy Harnesses, since we'll have access to Refresh.

On topic: I'd like the /whm setup just to get haste and cure IV sooner.

Off topic: I want to see my 99 Carrie break Shadowhorn's face. -_-

BST/SAM?!

New level cap implies new skill caps. So will we finally get a worthwhile Scythe WS?

At least in the existing areas, I hafta think
99 BST / 49 DNC would be damned near unkillable.

Same thing for 99 BST / 49 RDM.

Level 99 ANY job in the past areas would be damned near unkillable. Unless of course you take on Vrtra, train all of Xarcabard onto yourself, or something equally insane. You would need 2 level 99s to survive then...

/BRD? umm... yeah nothing there cept more charisma
/BLM? Warp II and Clear Mind III yippee...
/BLU Refueling, not bad, but there will be better jobs that can also Haste
/COR? you can use Evokers roll to refresh the mages lol
/DNC! Subtle Blow II, Haste Samba, Reverse Flourish, and even Evasion bonus II for our lolevasion
/DRK? gimp Absorb TP? lol
/DRG? nothing different from 37-49...
/MNK? Subtle Blow III, which you also get from:
/NIN! Innin, Dual Wield III, Subtle Blow III
/PLD? nothing to see here. move along
/PUP? same
/RNG? Wide Scan IV... oh wait, we already have that
/RDM! Oh yeah! Convert, Refresh, Protect III, Cure IV, Haste, Raise
/SAM? nothing new here
/SCH Ascension and Manifestation... solo BST won't likely use. But you can now Erase!
/SMN? yeah right...
/THF! OMG! TH2!!!! BST/THF will now easily be the best farming job in the game!
/WAR? Agressor... 25 more acc for 3/5 of the time
/WHM! Aflatus abilities, all 6 tele's, Haste, Cure IV, Regen II, Protect III (easily still the best utility sub)

Summary: The best subjobs for BST will still be the same that we've been using. /NIN will be our best for DD, /RDM and /DNC offering greater survivability solo, /WHM still the best solo utility sub, and /THF for farming

You're assuming Courier Carrie's cap is raised to 99, too. As of right now, CC's cap is 75. So you could potentially be a 99BST/??? with a level 75 crab that deters back and forth from 74 to 75 unless you have enhance: Call Beast equipment, or merits.

Above aside: BST/NIN! I don't think I could let go of the dual wield. It's just so fun to have two axes. :]

I'm thinking either /nin or /whm. Haven't really done anything /dnc except on nin and sam. We'll have to give all a shot!

PS- Miff I totally ripped off your signature!

I know this is much less important to mention, but with 49RDM you get the extra MAB for the Mythic Weaponskill, that is if SE doesn't give us new sexy WS's for level 99. ^^

This is a pretty cool thread. I like all the speculation about what subjobs will become better with the change in level cap. It's funny to see that most jobs will still benefit mostly from the subjobs they already use.

It will be super interesting to see what SE does with subbed Haste/Refresh/Convert/etc.

It's gonna be hella fun to test though eh?
