Returning Player Needing Advice on End Game Subs ...Follow

Hey guys,

I've made a few posts on different threads regarding similiar issues but for different jobs, so i'm hoping I can get some more positive feed back here also.

I've returned to FF after 5 years of being away - before I left all my 75's were mage/cloth roles, so i'm completely new to the Melee role, especially with all the new changes that Abyssea has brought in.

I'm looking to set up my main as a solid melee role that will enable me to the unlock everything I want a later date and still play a crucial role in the end game scenarios. So i've decided MNK for this. My biggest issue is not knowing what SUB i should be taking.

I've started off with War, naturally, but once i ding 30, what should i be taking up? Some people have mentioned SAM for 70+ for the extra TP, but i'm looking for some feedback from the proper MNK guys! So can someone please give me some feedback as to what Subs i'm looking to take from 30+?

Thanks guys,

Taim

Thanks Nilatai,I appreciate that.

I'll keep SAM for WAR then and do the other two for MNK only.

Thanks again

Hey again,

Aight so i've got Mnk to 50, War to 30 and DNC to 50 also. Completed G1 and i'm taking MNK further now. So far i've been subbing Dnc but I haven't found much use for it. Can someone explain to me why i'm using this as a sub in parties just now and in abyss? I'm assuming haste samba is obvious going to be the benficial factor, but we don't benefit from dual wield etc., so shouldnt i be using something else to be more beneficial to the party?

Thanks for any info.

Haste samba, violent flourish, curing waltz 3, healing waltz and to a lesser degree animated flourish.

So yes self reliance is a big reason. You wont need to worry much about stunning exp mobs, but when you start doing NMs, youll want VF. Especially if lowmanning, VF is an invaluable tool.
