Support Jobs

This is the highest damage option for sub jobs. However, it lacks Invisible, Sneak, and healing, and as such is only viable when you have reliable healing or are fighting a monster with no Area of affect moves/spells/abilities.

This is one of the more practical subs. It offers sufficient utility, as well as healing should you be doing an event where trusts are not allowed. Also provides Sneak and Invisible. This is one of the main subs for soloing as a Thf.

  • Ninja Hatsuburi icon.png Ninja
    • For enemies with area of effect spells that don't wipe shadows. This also offers sneak and invisible.
