Whats your favorite early job that you use until endgame

[Cloverfield]

I always abuse Monk on bravely Series and usually will be use until end game, right now im enjoying Monk with Berserker, How about you guys?

[Peredur]

I probably used Freelancer the most.
Body Slam is stronk. Even more once it can be used for free because of the Pictomancer passive (Sub-Job BP Saver).
I used it until I felt required to start using exploits.

Then, there is White Mage who is the most needed job in the game. You can't not have one. And in some situtation, having two is not overkill.


Else, Vanguard and Beastmaster are broken because of there 2nd passive (lvl 12+).

When I first started and before I had any idea what to expect, I was looking forward to getting the Thief job since I usually enjoy that archetype in games like this.

And then I found out that this game's version of a Thief has an attack that might as well be called "*!#& you, I win" that completely trivializes almost every boss encounter from that point forward with none of the grinding or prep that goes into overpowering oneself with, say, the Beastmaster.

I still like the Thief but it was a little disappointing that it ended up being one of this game's easier-to-use crutches in the 'challenge yourself not to use' sense while also making many of the game's other jobs less attractive or useful by comparison.

Beastmaster is pretty broken. By the time I got the trophy for 300 monster caps, Beastmaster's stats far exceeded that of any of the other classes I had.

Basically, use Beastmaster for the stats, and then sub job whatever you want for the abilities. Whether that's Bard, White mage, Vanguard, etc, doesn't matter.

For regular fights, do:

Mercy Strike
Capture
Mercy Strike
Capture

On every beastmaster on your team, with battle speed set to highest. You'll be one-tap capping monsters pretty quickly, getting probably a 100 or more monsters capped in a dungeon. This is not grinding, you're gonna be fighting stuff anyway, you might as well get extra stats out of your encounters.....

It's possible to cap HP/MP, attack and defense stats to 999, and crit rate over 100, without any equipment at all, and it honestly wouldn't take as long as you'd think. Just do cap setups for regular battles, and you'll get there eventually.

Also, when grinding JP for leveling up other jobs, I sub beastmaster, and do cap setups in the first area of the game on the beach. The strength of the monster doesn't appear to have any relevance to how much stats they give for capping them.

Thief definetly, they made Godspeed strike even more OP as it was in the first 2 games.

Yep! Beastmaster is really good if especially you got a solid party :D

Right now I'm also trying Beastmaster with Elvis and sub job is black mage 12 :D

You can release the level cap on classes, goes from 12-15 later on, and you get new attacks and abilities. Triplaga with Oracle and Ninefold flurry with Swordmaster are the 2 strongest attacks.

Triplaga is basically x3 -aga tier spells applied, and it uses the one the target is weak to, so it's multi-element weakness coverage in 1 spell. You can double-cast it as well. Once you factor in having 999 magic attack, stacked bard buffs, pictomancer putting daub on targets, and the damage cap removal, it can hit for up to 99999 per tick, depending on the target. Realistically in most situations, you'll see 40-60k per tick. Also, it can be full screen cast with another ability later on that makes spells hit all with no damage penalty, and makes some spells full target that couldn't otherwise be, so each individual target hits hit by 3 -agas, per cast.

Additionally, if you got reflect on your whole party, and you reflect the triplaga cast, it will do 4x3 = 12 ticks reflected onto however many opponents are on the screen. If it's just one, then 1 target gets blasted by 12 -agas PER CAST. Double casting 1 would = 24 hits, mutliply 24x4, and you're doing up to 96 ticks of damage that can hit for 40k each, all the way up to 99999. The entire screen just gets wasted in 1 turn. Honestly, everything is dead, even without double cast, as long as you got the stats and gear/setup.

Later on, when you can efficiently grind stat boosting items, setting up an Oracle/Red Mage is a good idea. The others in your party could be using beastmaster for stats, and then sub job whatever. You could have beast-bard + beast-Picto + 1 other, maybe spirit master or white mage.

You can accomplish the same thing pretty much with at least 2 swordmasters using ninefold flurry. Nothing will survive.

I got Adelle as a Monk and Elvis as a Vanguard and Freelancer. Gloria is BLM and WHM and Free lancer maxed out. Seth is Thief and Freelancer and I made him IIRC to level 10 beastmaster due to MP Cost Reduction (20% off is quite good).
