III. Reasons for this FAQ
************************************************** ********************************
The main reason that I felt this FAQ was needed was that Warrior is a very
flexible job class, and a lot of people that are interested in the job need a
source of information about stats, roles to play, and usefulness of job combos.
Warriors are usually one of the most prevalent jobs around and due to the fact
that not every party will need multiple tanks, a Warrior should learn to adapt
and be flexible in order to get into parties that would otherwise pass them over.
A Warrior with the right support jobs (after level 18 support job quest has been
completed) can be one of the most flexible jobs in the game aside from Red Mage.
Though other jobs will be specialized in one area such as healer or damage dealing
a Warrior can offer a slightly lower quality, though still useful alternative.
A Warrior will usually not do as much damage as a Dark Knight or Black Mage, but
they can do a fair amount of damage while serving other roles. On top of that
Warrior can use almost any weapon type in the game. (not katanas or giant katanas)

VI. Roles
************************************************** ********************************
A Warrior is usually given the role of tank, but this does not always have to be
the case. The Warrior skill Provoke is useful, but nothing stops a Warrior from
playing another role in a party provided that a tank is present.
Tank
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The key to being a good tank is to control hate. This means that you will
need to provoke and inform any other party members will provoke when they do and
do not need to use provoke. (I can't count the number of times that I've had one
second left until I could provoke again, and a lighter Warrior used provoke and
was heavily damage or sometimes killed.) You need to know that the mages that are
healing you are going to draw a lot of hate with those spells. If your party is
fighting something tougher than normal, then you will notice the enemy trying to
go after the mages a lot more often than you can use provoke. In this case, you
need to do two things: make sure that the healer(s) are far enough away that if
the monster does go after them, you will be able to provoke before they can do any
damage; also you need to create a macro that lets your party know how long until
you can provoke again in order to let the lighter Warriors know when they should
do an emergency provoke.
Damage Dealer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you enter a party with a tank in place (PAL or another WAR) you can enjoy being
a damage dealer and only tank as an emergency backup. Your role in this case is
to hit hard and often. You should take time to see what weapons others in the
party are using and find the right skill chain combinations to use and the order
in which to use them. This role can be quite fun for a Warrior that has been a
tank through most of the lower levels and would like another role in a party.
VII. Job Combos
************************************************** ********************************
Warrior is a fair job on its own, but it truly comes alive with a support job or
as a support job. Most people tend to think Warrior is better as a support job,
but it can be just as useful and fun as a main job with the right job attached.
Though not every job is good as a support for Warrior, I'll give the possible
good aspects of each combination.
Support Jobs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monk
-----------
With Monk as a support job you will obtain Boost and Counter at low levels. These
will be useful in melee combat as a damage dealer. As a tank, the high HP and VIT
of a Monk will be useful as will Dodge. Monk has some of the most useful tank
enhancing abilities and stats.
Thief
-----------
Other than helping to bring in gil and loot, you will become very damaging once
you can use Sneak Attack and Trick Attack. These two skills used together and
during a skill chain can become very painful to enemies in your way. Though you
will not have Trick Attack until level 60 if you are using Thief as a support job,
it will still be very handy, and the Warrior's strength will be a wonderful bonus.
Red Mage
-----------
Now this job will not be really useful, but as a Tarutaru this will have a little
better MP and magic stats to use minor spells to assist in rare moments of need.
White Mage
-----------
This support is useful during soloing times. It does not really fit well into a
party. The Warrior should never be relied on for healing. As a White Mage
you will be able to solo a little bit safer than with other jobs.
Black Mage
-----------
This would be a similar to a Dark Knight, but nowhere near as effective. I can
see this being useful in area you need to get through solo without being attacked.
This would allow you to attempt to bind an enemy and escape. As with the other
mage job, this is not ideal.
Paladin
-----------
You can tank and tank well. Unlike a Paladin though, you can be a little more
damaging. You will have a better selection of weapons and most of the armor
options of a Paladin, without being restricted to being a tank. You will get
the defense bonuses of a Paladin, though at higher levels. The major loss over
using Paladin as a main job is the loss of the Invincibility 2-hour ability.
You will not grab as much hate with Mighty Strikes and all the provokes you can
do as you would with Invincibility.
Dark Knight
-----------
With this combo, you will gain minor black magic spells. The biggest plus will
be your attack bonuses you will receive from the Dark Knight support. You will
not do as much damage as a full blown Dark Knight, but you will be able to live
longer with better defense. I have heard from some that Last Resort draws a
lot of hate, so this can help you if you need to draw more hate that you have
been.
Beastmaster
-----------
Beastmaster is best used as a main job, but using it as a support can be fun
and sometimes useful. It is not recommended that you ever use this job in an
experience gaining party. The only real use that I have seen with this job is
the ability to charm a monster when something goes wrong. This could be when
you get linking monsters attacking you or are trying to get a party through a
dangerous area. Other than those situations, it is best to keep a Beastmaster
as a main job.
Bard
-----------
People do not usually look for a Warrior with Bard support. Bard, like mage
jobs, is much better as a main. That does not mean that you could not be
somewhat useful at higher levels with Bard support. You will only be able to
keep up one effect at a time, but just having someone that can boost the whole
party's defense or let them regain HP is useful in some cases.
Ranger
-----------
You will not have access to the damage done by Rangers using it as a support
job, but you will gain access to some useful abilities. As a Warrior with
Ranger support, you will be able to obtain better accuracy and ranged accuracy.
You will also have access to the Wide Scan abilities in order to find that
certain monster that you've been looking for. Using Ranger as a support only
offers useful abilities and increased accuracy, if you want to deal massive
damage use it as a main job.
Summoner
-----------
Well what can you really say here? A summoner will either be useful as a main job
or help to boost MP for other mage jobs. The only real fun part about this would
be the shock factor of being a Warrior and being able to summon a weak Shiva to
your side...if only for a few seconds.
Ninja
-----------
This job combo will allow you to deal more damage at once with the dual wield
ability or allow you to tank with Utsusemi: Ichi absorbing damage. Dual wield is
also very useful for allow you to boost your weapon skill levels by using two
weapons at once. The only other major bonuses you will get will be in terms of
agility.
Samurai
-----------
This support is one of the best for a Warrior. With this combo, you will gain TP
at a higher rate beginning once your Samurai support is at level 10. Third eye
will be useful for avoiding one attack helping out tanks and damage dealers alike.
Along with the Double Attack ability of a Warrior to help boost TP, this job will
be deadly.
Dragoon
-----------
With the loss of the wyvern when using Dragoon as a support job, it is not nearly
as useful as other jobs can be. You will obtain Jump and eventually High Jump.
Though these skills are fun to use, they are not beneficial enough to become worth
the effort of using this job as a support. Dragoons are fun to use, but they are
much more useful as a main job.
VIII. Weapon Ratings
************************************************** ********************************
Weapon ratings are to determine what weapons jobs are best at using. It shows you
that even though you can equip a staff or fight hand-to-hand, that it might not be
the best option. Weapon rating have a lot to do with your skill cap for certain
weapons and how fast your skills will increase. You should also take into account
that if you are not going to stay as a Warrior what weapon your future job will
use in order to maximize your skills.
