Job Build Criteria

All Job Builds Criteria

Criteria for Job Builds
Ability Priority Equipment Effects Job Synergy

Although players can unlock a full Job Tree to play in any manner they wish, these three factors go hand in hand to provide players with good way to fully take advantage of all that a Job has to offer. These factors were chosen due to the following:

  • Ability Priority: There are multiple Abilities available in each Job Tree. Certain Abilities that can be unlocked by levelling up Jobs are worth getting first than others, particularly if players wish to play a certain way.
  • Equipment Effects: Armor and Weapons do not possess unique qualities outside of Job Affinities and stats. Equipment Effects that they may have however, can help boost a build's usefulness beyond the confines of what its Job Tree provides.
  • Job Synergy and Pairings: Each Job has a particular set of areas that it is strong in – pairing a Job with another can give players flexibility when coming across a weakness that their preferred Job cannot overcome, allowing for a more dynamic and free flowing combat against enemies.
