Best Legendary party start from LD 1?

[anramses]

As topic says, what is the best party to start legendary from LD 1 and continue?

A couple of questions first - how is the thief on legendary? Can it tank?

considering a couple of different parties based around hunter, engineer, and BM. Question is what to pair with that core group? Thief, Knight, Monk, or GM.

Best thing is most parties work.

I'm going to rate the classes, 1st number is LD 2nd is LDWU

Engineer 10 10
Black mage 9 9
Monk 10 7
Knight 7 7
White Mage 7 6
Gray Mage 2 5
Thief 3 2
Hunter 3 5

Imo thief is the worst, in LDWU there arent many steals worth it. But in LD if you want to steal an extra Kali ring it's really great.

Gray Mage physical is good, hunter status effects really help sometimes knight can be a tank and damage dealer, monk is super at extreme levels.

Thanks. I keep getting conflicting views on the thief and hunter. It is either awesome or awful depending on the person. This will be for an all legendary run. Good news is that the two classes that I am most set on using keep getting the highest ratings, BM and ENG.

I know this post is old, but just wanted to but in, that if you build the thief for "Throwing stars" he can 1 shot anything besides bosses in both games.

I was going to test out the Thief due to this post but I saw Throwing Stars was nerfed to 3*DEF 6*ACC -2*DEF, down from the 9*ACC from before.

I wonder if you know about this as your post is recent, and if throwing stars is still as good as you say?

Edit: I did some searching, a video from 2019 shows the formula as 6*ACC. I wonder if the strategy guide was just wrong showing 9*ACC and it was always 6 the whole time? Interesting.
