Enter message:	[quote][i]Quote from: Penweaver[/i] To take this a bit further. First, you can tell which server you are on when you first start up. It will say something to the effect of: Welcome to . For example, my server is Cerberus. My WAR is 37 right now, my MNK is 70. Mostly WARs at any level will serve a combination of 3 possible roles in the party. Main Tank, Backup Tank, and Damage Dealer. The role that you plan to fill will affect which subjob you should have. Typically, for purely DD (Damage Dealer) roles, you will find one of four combos: WAR/THF - This is good for two reasons. First, after level 30, you can do some respectible damage with SA (Sneak Attack). Second, once you get TA (Trick Attack) you can transfer hate to your Main Tank. This is really handy. WAR/SAM - This is handy if you plan to use a two handed weapon. SAM has certain abilities that allow it to really open a lot of damage and alot of accuracy. Unfrotunately, this is really only useful in later levels. WAR/DRG - as with SAM, Dragoons can get a +10 (I beleive) to accuracy. At level 30, you can also wear a Wyvern Earring that gives you some haste. Unfortunately, as with SAM, this combo is really only useful at highter levels (as in 60+). WAR/NIN - This is the most common combination I see. At level 20 you get to wield two weapons (usually axes) and at 24 you get shadows. This is handy both for damage dealing and tanking. Once you get Rampage as a weapon skill, you will throw up some respectible numbers, and shadows help you from being squished. I did not put it on the list. WAR/MNK can work, it has a lot going for it, however, it pales (in my opinion) to any of the above options. If you plan to main tank, the best option (again, in my opinion) is to sub NIN. NIN gives you great evasion increases, plus it gives you shadows. However, this either takes a really good party, or really good gear. If you backup tank, then any of the combos will work. When I was leveling WAR, it was kind of boring until I hit 20. Once I got two axes, I loved it. The only reason why I am not leveling it more now is I am waiting to Cap MNK. I hope this was some help. Good Luck. Pen[/quote]
