Wow, Kiona gets two awesome points for a well reasoned article using loads of specifics and proving that she seriously knows her shit.

Edit:
Changed Kiona's title on the linklist to "FFXI Guru"

I can't really speak from personal experience how effective they are in exp parties, but I remember Omni used to go DRG/WHM when we used to dick around in SSG and whatnot and it was pretty handy when we didn't have a healer.

whoa, I'm not mommy's helper anymore?  Sweet, thanks Pierce.

Edit: Lies!  Title is same T_T

And I'm secretly a futa, but shhh don't tell anyone.

White mage sub offers next to nothing in terms of DD, which is what you'll be invited to parties to do later on.  But your subjob determines the abilities of your wyvern!  A fighter sub (like warrior) will make the wyvern do breath attacks when you WS, but with some mage subs (like whm... I think it's different for blm sub) your wyvern will actually cast high level cure spells on anyone in your party that's hurt whenever you cast ANY healing magic.

Later on, this means you can cast poisona on yourself (what... 6 mp?) and your wyvern will cure you for over 200 hp!!  Normally, curing 200 hp costs 48 mp for a whm, so you can heal 1600 hp in the same amount of mp a white mage cures 200!  That's immense, and great for duo/solo/trio.

But obviously you can't main heal with that, there's just too much to do in a party (though it's an interesting idea, you'd have to rest a lot which means no spearing).  You'll be invited to do damage 99% of the time, and that means (dun dun dun) war sub, since it offers the most in terms of offense (you can't bypass berserk, attack boosts, and provoke ESPECIALLY as dragoon where you can shed the hate from provoke in seconds).

Overall though, of course, be versatile.  You probably don't have to worry about this til level 20+, or even 30+, but at 30 you REALLY need to consider warrior sub because berserk is pure sex.  Sneak attack is lame, don't use it, pleeeeeease.

Umm... yeah >_>b  Gogo dragoon powa!
