Weaponskills

Weapon skills are abilities that become available when a player has gained 100+ TP while damaging a mob with their weapon. All weapons, with the exception of Thrown and Instruments have their own set of weaponskills. Weaponskill availability is dependent on a player's skill level with the weapon as well as the weapon itself.

Sub-job Combinations

Warrior - Offers the most balanced offensive capabilities as well as Provoke which is an instrumental job ability while tanking as a NIN. The most commonly used sub job for experience point parties.

White Mage - A useful subjob while soloing, access to Cure, Barspells, and (at higher levels) Stoneskin.

Red Mage/Black Mage - The Magic Attack Bonus from these two subjobs largely increases the damage of elemental ninjitsu spells. After attaining the Ni elemental ninjitsu a NIN using either of these sub jobs becomes a powerful damage dealer (at the cost of gil/ninjitsu tools).

Ranger - Used with Sharpshot, Barrage, and the Slugshot weapon skill this is a viable (but not typically sought after) damage dealer. Reaches its peak effectiveness at level 60 (and higher) due to the accuracy and range accuracy bonuses from RNG.

Dark Knight - An effective tanking sub job on some high level HNM's, but not commonly sought after for experience point parties.
