This is the part 4 of ffxi power leveling Warrior Guide.
Paladin
-----------
You can tank and tank well. Unlike a Paladin though, you can be a little more
damaging. You will have a better selection of weapons and most of the armor
options of a Paladin, without being restricted to being a tank. You will get
the defense bonuses of a Paladin, though at higher levels. The major loss over
using Paladin as a main job is the loss of the Invincibility 2-hour ability.
You will not grab as much hate with Mighty Strikes and all the provokes you can
do as you would with Invincibility.
Dark Knight
-----------
With this combo, you will gain minor black magic spells. The biggest plus will
be your attack bonuses you will receive from the Dark Knight support. You will
not do as much damage as a full blown Dark Knight, but you will be able to live
longer with better defense. I have heard from some that Last Resort draws a
lot of hate, so this can help you if you need to draw more hate that you have
been.
Beastmaster
-----------
Beastmaster is best used as a main job, but using it as a support can be fun
and sometimes useful. It is not recommended that you ever use this job in an
experience gaining party. The only real use that I have seen with this job is
the ability to charm a monster when something goes wrong. This could be when
you get linking monsters attacking you or are trying to get a party through a
dangerous area. Other than those situations, it is best to keep a Beastmaster
as a main job.
Bard
-----------
People do not usually look for a Warrior with Bard support. Bard, like mage
jobs, is much better as a main. That does not mean that you could not be
somewhat useful at higher levels with Bard support. You will only be able to
keep up one effect at a time, but just having someone that can boost the whole
party's defense or let them regain HP is useful in some cases.
