Gonna fight Victor and Victoria now, can't wait to unlock both their classes, since I believe they'll synergize well with maxed/almost maxed B.Mage/W.Mage, though the sheer amount of HP they both have is ridiculous, if the first, non-winnable fight is any indication.

I only used Pirate to unlock the P.Atk 20% bonus, the class in itself has nothing that's remotely usable, is slow as hell and frail too (only went to lvl.9 though, might have some good skills later). My Thief Tiz, with Precision and P.Atk 20% deals almost 3K per 13 hits attack with Killer Bow. I actually like the Time Mages skills, not the class per see (plus the design is horrible). Veilga is amazing if you use two Ninjas in a party, especially if you have Kunai as one of the subweapons. Transcience activates like crazy.

As for Tiz, I have him on my second slot, Agnes on first (I figured that since she's the main character of the story, I'd have her as my front). Still, I think it was because the Hunter class might have an higher base aggro than other classes, since Thief Tiz is hardly targetted now. Still, it was annoying because Tiz is almost one level lower than the rest of the party, due to constant wipeouts.

Edit - Dear goddess I was wrong, so wrong. Victoria has 94800 HP and Victor has 108000 HP.....I don't think S-E  wanted us to finish Hard difficulty

Right, pirate sucks as a main class and has hardly any support skills to boot. Also right, time mage can work as a subclass or for support skills, but as main they are pretty awful.

Qada's job is pretty awesome for healing of HP and MP, doubling the effect of everything. Is also versed with daggers, so usable as a main class. Swordmaster relies too much on anticipating what the enemy will do, so it's one of the worst jobs. Summoner is plain horrible while Ranger is useful for its good base damage and the low cost slayer skills that increase the damage output.

Been switching Ringabel between B.Mage and Salve-Maker for menu healing, haven't tried using that class on battles other than levelling up the class to lvl. 9. It is pretty good for healing purposes, but since compounds are a bit on the expensive side, I stay clear of it for any other purpose.

Ranger is pretty useful and it's Multishot is amazing for single bosses, though with a high enough Hit Count, it gets outclassed by regular attacks + Precision support ability.
