			{{Guide Support Jobs
			\|Border Color=#51414F
			\|Job=DRG
			\|Notes=The go-to end game subjob option for many DD jobs. DRG provides access to its exclusive [[WS Damage Boost]] traits, which is a significant damage increase, and further improves with heavy investment into Master Levels. Beyond that, the big draw to DRG is enmity management through [[High Jump]] and [[Super Jump]], as well as potential TP generation via [[Jump]] and High Jump. It's important to note that Jumps do not provide TP to enemy targets, thus allowing for safer TP gen in situations where you don't want to feed too much TP to an enemy.
			}}
			{{Guide Support Jobs
			\|Border Color=#51414F
			\|Job=SAM
			\|Notes=SAM provides a high amount of TP gain thanks to its [[Store TP]] traits, providing up to 20 STP with a small investment into Master Levels. [[Meditate]] and [[Sekkanoki]] are also welcome additions if you're looking to perform solo multistep skillchains. Depending on the events you're running and the composition of your party, you may get more mileage out of the Attack gains from WAR or the enmity management of DRG.
			}}
			{{Guide Support Jobs
			\|Border Color=#51414F
			\|Job=WAR
			\|Notes=WAR's benefits are simple and straightforward: 10-12% DA, [[Berserk]], [[Warcry]] and [[Aggressor]]. WAR shines as a subjob in situations where you aren't attack capped with party buffs and don't need the enmity management tools of DRG. These are often the same situation. The [[Fencer]] traits may look tempting, but there practically no reason to single wield instead of carrying a [[Centovente]] or other high-value offhand. Remember, the DA traits do NOT stack with Saber Dance!
			}}
			{{Guide Support Jobs
			\|Border Color=#51414F
			\|Job=THF
			\|Notes=Previously a more popular subjob for DNC, THF brings you extra opportunities to force crits on Rudra outside of using Climactic Flourish by using [[Sneak Attack]]. You can also utilize [[Trick Attack]] for enmity management, and you'll gain access to [[Triple Attack\|Triple Attack I]] with enough Master Levels. Arguably, these benefits are less valuable than what the other go-to subjobs bring to the table.
			}}
			{{Guide Support Jobs
			\|Border Color=#51414F
			\|Job=DRK
			\|Notes=DRK brings solid damage potential to the table thanks to [[Last Resort]] and its innate [[Attack Bonus]] traits, but pales in comparison to the potential of other subjobs listed above. With Master Levels you'll also see an increase to the above trait as well as gain another tier of [[Damage Limit+]] over DNC's inherent trait, but by the time you reach those levels you'll see more significant gains from DRG. The Attack benefits also begin to fall off as you start to play in high buff, attack capped situations.
			}}
			{{Guide Support Jobs
			\|Border Color=#51414F
			\|Job=MNK
			\|Notes=A niche option for when you want to get more out of [[Karambit]]. Sub MNK also offers you Kick Attacks for added TP generation at Master Level 10. Expands your H2H WS options with [[Raging Fists]].
			}}
			{{Guide Support Jobs
			\|Border Color=#51414F
			\|Job=RUN
			\|Notes=Whether you're looking for status protection or seeking to tank for low man content, RUN offers fantastic durability. [[Rune\|Runes]], traits such as [[Inquartata]] and [[Magic Defense Bonus]], JAs such as [[Vallation]] and [[Pflug]], and [[Barspells]] go a long way toward your survival. With the addition of Master Levels, you've even got access to [[Valiance]] and [[Foil]]!
			}}
			{{Guide Support Jobs
			\|Border Color=#51414F
			\|Job=NIN
			\|Notes=A one trick pony of a subjob, even if the trick is a relatively solid one. [[Utsusemi]] can be the difference between life and death at times, but otherwise this job brings you no significant benefits. You may find more value in /RUN if you need defensive tools.

	'''Group I Merit Recommendations:'''		'''Group I Merit Recommendations:'''

			* 5/5 [[Haste Samba\|Haste Samba Effect]] - Brings Haste Samba from 5% to 10% Job Haste. Outside of low haste situations, this hardly moves the needle for the Dancer themselves. Where it shines is offering 10% job haste to other members of your party.
	* 5/5 [[Minuet\|Minuet Effect]] - You will often have 2 to 3 [[Minuet]]s on a DD party. This translates to 10-15 additional attack for your party, which becomes 20-40 after [[COR]] and [[GEO]] buffs.
	* 5/5 [[~~Madrigal~~\|~~Madrigal~~ Effect]] - ~~When~~ ~~you~~ ~~need~~ ~~accuracy,~~ ~~you~~ ~~''need''~~ ~~accuracy.~~ ~~And~~ ~~[[Madrigal]]~~ is the ~~way~~ to ~~get it~~.		* 5/5 [[Reverse Flourish\|Reverse Flourish Effect]] - 150 TP is not an insignificant amount, and this is better than the alternatives available to you.
	* '''Alternate''': 5/5 [[Minne\|Minne Effect]] - [[Minne]] merits with [[COR]] and [[GEO]] buffs can result in around a hundred extra Defense. Situations where you're using Defense buffs are incredibly rare, so default to [[Madrigal]] and respec when needed.

	'''Note''': [[Lullaby]] and [[Finale]] recast merits are deceptively bad, because you already have other sources of significant recast reduction. <br/>
	Unmerited, they have a 24 second recast. With capped recast speed gear in your midcast set, the recast is cut to '''4.8 seconds'''.<br/>
	With 5/5 merits, that reduces the base recast time to 19 seconds. With capped recast speed gear in your midcast this is reduced to '''3.8 seconds'''.<br/>
	Using 5/5 merit slots for 1 second of recast speed is almost completely ineffective when considering casting times and animation locks.

	'''Group II Merits Recommendations:'''		'''Group II Merits Recommendations:'''

			* 1/5 [[Saber Dance]] - Having access to Saber Dance is critical, but the added [[Samba]] duration isn't particularly notable. With gear, Sambas last more than enough time that you won't feel any pressure in reapplying it, unlike those using DNC as a subjob.
	* 5/5 [[Nightingale]]
			* 1~4/5 [[Fan Dance]] - Having access to Fan Dance is critical, and more points in this category reduces the recast of [[Waltz]] by up to 20%. As the value of Closed Position has diminished with time, this has become a more noteworthy option. Do keep in mind that, with [[Anwig Salade]] and [[Maxixi Casaque +3]] you've already taken 4 seconds off the cooldown. More merits primarily affects [[Divine Waltz II]] and [[Curing Waltz IV]], or allows you to flex away from Anwig in favor of a higher CHR piece of gear.
	* 5/5 [[Troubadour]]
			* 3~5/5 [[No Foot Rise]] - 3 points in No Foot Rise has been the standard for a long time for quickly getting to 1,000 TP, but the flexibility of extra Finishing Moves is worth consideration.
			* 0~5/5 [[Closed Position]] - With the addition of [[Macu. Toe Sh. +3]] as an option, coupled with current endgame content pressuring you to wear higher amounts of -DT, Closed Position has become a less attractive option than in the past. Dancer Merits are somewhat flexible, and your mileage may vary with regards to Closed Position. If you've decided to wear Empy+3 boots full time, then you can completely disregard this merit.
