Job Skills and Bonuses

[kingneet]

Created a list of skills and skill descriptions for each Job offered in the game at the time of this post. People may find this useful in finding out which classes they want to master, as I find getting enough JP for multiple 3rd-tier jobs is unrealistic.

If I remember correctly, you earn +30JP per rank up. I'd guess that with a reasonable bit of time investment, you can get 2 3rd-tier jobs (ie. Hermit, Bishop, Holy Saber, etc.)

Some things to know:
EX Skills: These are skills that can be used with another job. For example, say you learned Rage after getting your Fighter to level 10. If you were to change your job to Ranger, you can set your EX Skill to Rage, so you can use it while you are a Ranger. You are limited to selecting 1 (one) EX Skill.
Support Abilities: Bonuses you get for having that job as your current job.
Master Bonus: Bonus to stats after you master a class (get it to level 20). These bonuses are permanent.
Prerequisites: Kind of obvious, but prerequisite jobs need to be mastered (level 20) in order to count.

Note: Though I'm not 100% certain, if I didn't specify that an ability affects all enemies, assume that it only affects the targeted enemy.
If it doesn't specify what kind of elemental damage the ability deals, assume it's of the same element your character is.
Some skill names may not be exactly accurate. Especially the Kung Fu and Ogre ones. Those were difficult.

Thanks Kingneet this is so helpful! If I might make a small suggestion, would you be willing to list the prerequisite jobs and jp cost to learn the job under the advanced jobs? This would help tremendously in planning. I can go through and list them out for you if you don't have time to do it but would be willing to edit your initial post.

[Takurannyan]

I think the Divine Burst series is supposed to be
-Dealing x dmg on enemy when they are in override- ? Not the next attack.

Other than that though, great guide.

[grandelattefantasy]

Nifty, anyone wants to volunteer keeping us updated on events and such?

You would be correct, my bad. It's an attack, not a buff. Corrected in the OP.

Thanks so much! You're the best. Running a couple of different accounts right now trying to figure out which playstyle I'm going to like best and that is a tremendous help in decision making!

[Takurannyan]

We are having a job rebalance, which will be applied tomorrow

granbluefantasy.jp/sp/pages/?p=652

And Bard is coming it seems, base on the shadows

[kingneet]

Changes to Jobs listed below. I'll update the OP when they update on JP wikis so there's less room for error.
Seems like most of these changes were for the sake of balancing and enhancing Multi-Battles

Holy Saber

• Phalanx II will now increase attack power depending on the number of members participating in the Multi-Battle (does not count jobs multiple times, so if there are 3 Hawkeyes it will only count as 1)
  

Bishop

• Heal All II will now increase attack power depending on the number of members participating in the Multi-Battle (does not count jobs multiple times)
• Recovery amount to players outside of your own party will be decreased

Hermit

• Ether Blast II will deal more damage the less enemies there are (damage against 1 enemy > damage against 3 enemies)

Thief / Raider / Hawkeye

• Break Assassin / Break Assassin II will not give an attack boost when you use it with your Ougi attack
• Same nerf will be applied to Netsawarupiri's One Cut Form ability
• Raider's ability will be changed from Break Assassin II to Break Assassin
• If you use a damage dealing ability (ie. Kill Strike) then the effect from Break Assassin / Break Assassin II will end then

Grappler / Kung Fu / Ogre

• Ougi will now increase when you attack using Counter / Counter II
• Ogre - increase in probability of Double Attacks will be added to the Leveling Up bonuses

These changes to Break Assassin are really going to bust my balls. I need to hurry up and get a Hawkeye ;_;

[grandelattefantasy]

Thief / Raider / Hawkeye
Break Assassin / Break Assassin II will not give an attack boost when you use it with your Ougi attack

Oh come on! 

[Takurannyan]

Thanks for the fast translation as always King

I know right? I'm hoping I mistranslated but that's what I got out of it :/
Guess that's what I get for jumping on the "Break Assassin is OP" bandwagon lol

No prob. I started so I may as well keep going at it

[ziw]

Very good! im thinking of 3 classrs. hermit dark fencer or bishop. which would u pick?

[roadsigns]

Dark Fencer is great for debuffs and delaying bosses. It really makes surviving some bosses much, much easier. Hermit is pretty good for DPS. There are screencaps of people hitting 250K damage with Hermit skills, but those people likely have very good equipment and pretty much everything maxed out. Bishop is great for multibattles because you heal everybody in the party, plus it can remove buffs and even revive dead characters!

Basically, it breaks down like this:
Hermit for damage
Dark Fencer for control over the enemy and debuffs
Bishop for support and healing

[Song]

Yeah, I would just add that it is hard to rank in multi battles with bishop unless there's only two of you. It doesn't seem to lend itself well to high dps (but also my experiences may be limited by my lack of SSR characters or weps... so take that with a grain of salt).

[Takurannyan]

So far from what i am seeing Harpist :

-1st skill : Increase recovery limit of healing skill (ex.Katalina healing become 550 instead of 500 - this is with a dagger as weapon)
-2nd skill : Decrease Override bar and has a chance to inflict Charm/confuse ( ? ) - making enemies sometimes skip a turn

+Both skill are enhanced greatly if using Harp and if weapon has *
