WHM Sub Jobs

A WHM's sub job is a very important thing to have right.

Sometimes you really will need that ES Slow.

...or that super cool half mp thing that allows you to nuke with banish moar!!

Just kidding.

Anyway, WHM sub jobs!

Oh my God, I love SCH sub. -10% MP for all white magic, shorter casting time, Conserve MP, strategems, and Dispel! How could you not love SCH sub?! It's amazing. Personally, I'd use SCH sub 24/7 if it were not for the need of ES Slow or traveling purposes. (Whoever runs around without /BLM is crazy...) The only downside of SCH sub is no Warp. Damn, sometimes I really miss Warp.

Black Mage
BLM used to be the best sub for WHM (imo). Conserve MP, ES, and access to Sleep, Escape, and Warp are all very good things.

I used to live by WHM/SMN, now I laugh at them. Yes, the MP gain is cool, and you get Auto-Refresh. That's just dandy. But the limited BPs you have with a SMN sub doesn't nearly make up for the abilities you lose by not subbing BLM or SCH. Also, Conserve MP will help more in the long run than Auto-Refresh! Seriously! So basically, don't use SMN sub unless you're doing something really weird or just playing around... I don't know if there's even anything to use SMN sub on anymore...

Red Mage
RDM is a great sub for BALLISTA. It really shouldn't be used for much else... Fast Cast is amazing, and having easy access to Dispel is cool, so is Phalanx, but once again, you're sacrificing the abilities of BLM or SCH sub for small things. On the other hand, RDM sub is kinda cool for soloing, or just playing around. It's not a bad sub but there's definatley much better.

Ninja
WHM/NIN is great for melee WHM! Yess, go melee WHM! :] ...but that's about it. You can use it on like King Vinegarron... if you ever get the chance to kill it... some people sub NIN to Ultima... but you're basically sacrificing your sub job for another club and Utsusemi. Not worth it unless you're doing something special (or meleeing in campaign!)

I really can't think of anything else anyone else would sub... so I guess I'm done!

Also, a WHM subbing SMN inspired this post :]
