This setting is still fairly new and undeveloped (the world is literally just called Wasteland at the moment), so I won’t go into too much detail outside of the magic system. Magic in this world is seperated into different “Limbs”, which are listed below. Most Limbs need energy to work (standard ATP from respiration), but others may have different costs too. I’d really appreciate any feedback on the Limbs I’ve made so far, and any suggestions! (Also, which Limb would you choose to have in this wasteland?)
Other nescessary information:
Jacks: Artificial devices that attach to the user’s body, which act as a “reaction chamber” for extra energy, but which can only be activated by Limb users. This is used by Limb users as a battery to increase how long they can use their abilities for, and how strongly. There are many different Jacks in production, varying in size and appearance, some better than others and some with different advantages. The “juice” inside is more often than not obtained from a specific kind of plant.
Distribution Levels: The rarity of a person having a specific Limb, increasing in rarity. Green, Amber, Red, White

——————————-LIMBS——————————

ACTIVATION
Average Cost: High Energy (per activation)
Distribution Level: Amber
Identifier: Hands more grey than usual, fingernails may be black.
Description: This limb works through conduction and users are taught from an eary age to do so through the palms. Upon touchinng the corpse of a recently deceased animal (within 24 hours of death, but may vary from environmental conditions), glowing orange waves will ripple across the body, “activating” it. For this reason, many “Battle Activators” have started using retractable metal wires with hook on the end in order to quickly access several corpses at once during battle. This will turn the whole body, apart from the bones, into “Minions”, which are the basis of all Activation. They appear to be roughly diamond-shaped slugs made from muscle. Each one has an organ in the middle of their body which looks like a protruding black eyeball, with a glowing orange ring-like “iris” in the middle. Through this organ the Minions feel all the senses, and this is also what you communicate with them through. Each minion is quite stubby, but stretchable, but at rest is around 10cm in length. The number of Minions made from a corpse of course varies from the actual amount of flesh available, as it is directly converted. Now you can “program” them to complete certain function loops or assemble into different shapes - this second part of activation doesn’t require any more energy. Minions can stick to each other to “assemble” into their different, more applicable functions. Most commonly, they are used to create powerful bodyguards or watchdogs in the form of golems and flying heaps. More advanced activators can also make their irises merge into more advanced “eyeballs” which can increase all of their senses. Although Minions can slightly change their structure to complete functions, such as turning into proto-bones and joints for golems, they can’t differ very much from their original form. Also, it takes skill and practice to increase how many Minions you can handle controlling at once - otherwise the rest wither away.
​
REPELLENT
Average Cost: Medium Energy
Distribution Level: Green
Identifier: Bumps that look like healed scars, distinctive circle shape with small “tendrils” off to the sides.
Description: Users have “Repulsion Nodes” in locations on their body (the bumps described above). These are most commonly on the feet, the knees, chest, palms or forehead - although most commonly the palms. The number of Repulsion Nodes a user is born with is decided at birth. At these nodes, users can use energy to release a superheated plasma “energy blast” created from particles in their blood. The repulsion can be many colours such as blue, pink, red, yellow, green etc - the colour mainly depends on how the user was trained with the power from birth, although genetic factors may have a small influence too, however this is unlikely to overrule the results of the training. Size, power, speed and shape can all be changed through concentration and improved through training. More trained Repellents can maximise the efficiency of their repulsions. Repulsions that you have created yourself don’t affect you, and bounce off/ glide along the surface of your body. This is why most users who have palm Repulsion Nodes assume a distinctive “finger gun” shape to make it easier to fire smaller, stronger and more accurate repulsions (think of the normal finger gun shape, but the thumb is not lifted up, and points in the direction of the “barrel” - this redirects the repulsion most efficiently). The actual effects of repulsions are similar to Star Wars blaster bolts, although more skilled users can decide to make some more explosive or more slicing.
​
AUGMENTATION
Average Cost: Low Energy
Distribution Level: Green
Identifier: Red saliva/drool (only after shrinking)
Description: The user has the ability to fully control their body, and to augment “A-Cells” which lie dormant next to every cell in their body. Augmentations may include a long list of things, but a few are: increasing muscle mass, hardening of skin, growing of bones out into spikes/spears, night vision, extending limb length, extending and sharpening hardened fingernails, etc. The only organ in the body that does not have any A-Cells present is the brain, which cannot be modified. Anything the user can think of, they can do - theoretically. However, augmenting into something you’ve never experienced makes it less effective, slower and less efficient (too much energy expended). This is why users often have to only have a few “pre-sets” that they learn to transform into, to minimise this effect. An important factor is also an understanding of the anatomy, so many users are taught anatomy thoroughly before they begin augmenting. Good knowledge of your normal anatomy means you can also heal your body at rapid speeds. Effectively this means that Augmenters usually have a large advantage when using a Jack.
​
THOUGHTMELDING
Cost: High Energy (per use, otherwise Low Energy constantly)
Distribution: Amber
Identifier: Pupil-less eyes that glow a blinding green, and are as hard as gemstones
Description: The user houses a “psychic dimension” called a Meld Server, or Server for short, inside their brains. The user has full omnipotence within this space, and only consciouses can enter into it, as it is not material (but if feels real inside). In order to drag someone’s consciousness inside, the target has to directly look at the user’s eyes from about 10cm away - the glow of the eyes has to be fully exposed too, and cannot be from behind any kind of see-through glass or tinted cover. After doing so, the user and the target will both slump and their eyes will roll back - the user’s eyes’ glow will stop. Inside the server, the target is powerless, but can still feel everything - and thus this is often used for interrogation. This form of torture is known as “mindflaying”. However, once a person inside the server submits their will to the user, another option is created: copying. The user can copy the other’s entire personality, memories and experiences inside the server. This “copy” will be fully obedient to the user, and will divulge any information to the user that it knows from the original. Once the user has had enough, they can exit the server - and so the target will too - waking up and returning to their bodies. Alternatively, the user can also “scroll” through the server, which basically means closing their eyes and flicking through the people that they have copied, whilst still being in their body and present to their surroundings. If the eyes are looked at from a distance, or from behind a see-through material, they will only give the target a headache. The issue with thoughtmelding users is that they are constantly using extra energy to supply the server, meaning they either need to eat a lot more, or need to be constantly using a Jack. Furthermore, most Thoughtmelders usually wear some form of tinted or mirrored shades or goggles in order to block the effects of their eyes (whilst also making hiding their Limb with some success).
​
EXHAUSTION
Cost: Low Energy, fossil fuels (e.g charcoal, coal, or oil)
Distribution: Amber
Identifier: Grey tongue and black insides of mouth
Description: The user has the ability to shoot out a black smoke from their mouths. In order to do so, the user has to consume some form of fossil fuel, which is usually charcoal. This smoke is, when used correctly, so black (so little light enters) that it is virtually impossible to discern anything within it or past it. Of course, this decreases as the gas gets more spread out. The complection of this smoke can be modified by the user - it can be a more spread out fog, it can be thick walls of smoke, or even very dense near-solid clumps. The use can be changed by the user too - it can be as harmless as air, as toxic as smog, as blinding as ink, or even as acidic as mustard gas (however this one takes a lot of specific training for a long time to get right, as it is fundamentally different). Exhausters are usually looked down upon because of how useless this ability seems. When more concentrated fossil fuels such as oil and above are used, the smoke gains an iridescent oil-like shimmer to it. Although usually used as a method of hiding and escaping, some have found that by compressing toxic smog into a tar-like substance and shooting it as a projectile, they can incapacitate enemies more easily.
​
ACCUMULATION
Cost: None
Distribution: Red
Identifier: Glow under UV light
Description: The user respires at an abnormal rate without a higher intske nescessary - far higher than the average human or a Limb user. These are stored within the user’s cells, and the body does not burst as a result of the energy it’s own body creates - because the user can slow down the respiration to normal levels at will, with basic training. This however means that children who are not identified as Accumulators from birth usually explode from too much energy being produced at around the age of 3. This is one of many reasons for their rarity. However, other than using up the energy normally, users can also expel it into the environment through their skin. The real application of an accumulator however is also why they are sometimes known as “Jackmen” or “Living Batteries” - they can release their energy into other people, and more specifically other Limb users. Not only does this allow for a steady supply of energy, but accumulators can shoot the energy in in such a way that it can give the other person a short lasting increase in power and ability. For this reason, accumulators are hunted down and treated as sub-human - only tools for the empowerment of others. Many babies were stolen straight from hospitals and taken to “energy factories” where they were treated simply as batteries, which often led to them being discarded once they were “fully drained”. In the period where accumulators were newly discovered, and hunted, nefarious organisations looking for them would go around waving UV lights at people before dragging them away. As a result, most remaining accumulators stay in hiding.

When you finish reading this article, you may well kick yourself. The good news is that the Enterprise Group, Inc. (TSX: E) (OTCQB: ETOLF) growth is just getting started. While hindsight is 20/20, the future looks very bright for this consolidator of energy services (including specialized equipment rental to the energy/resource sector), including one of the first companies to build and release systems and plans to drastically lower GHG emissions of resource companies.

After reading all the foregoing facts, if you aren’t moved to pick up some shares, as I said at the outset, I can’t help you.

Hi all, I am posting this for my mum who doesn’t have a Reddit account. It’s a repost since nobody replied last time and I’m really worried about her. She’s been dealing with these symptoms since April of 2021 and she has no idea what could be causing it. She’s had several tests but lives in the USA and can’t afford continuing to go to doctors just guessing. If anyone could narrow it down for her I’d greatly appreciate it!
I’m going to copy and paste what she wrote.
“I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Osteoporosis, Menopausal hormonal imbalance, Hiatal hernia, Gastritis, and Food sensitivity (gluten, egg, soy, corn). I am taking calcium supplements for osteoporosis and taking hormone replacement therapy for hormonal imbalance. I also take multivitamins as well as turmeric supplement and Cod liver oil.
My major symptoms are extreme fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, difficulty concentraing and talking, blurry vision, swollen eyelids, shortness of breath, coughing, heart palpitations, muscle weakness.
These symptoms all occur together at the same time, multiple times a day on and off. These symptoms are triggered by eating, walking, any physical activity or position change, and also when in hot and humid weather.
These symptops started after the second dose of Pfizer which I received in April 2021. On the day after receiving it, my lymph nodes got swollen big at the base of my neck on the same side where I got the shot. Since then these symptoms are persistent and it is an ongoing issue which is interfering with my daily life, with my work (I had to quit my job), with driving, basic household chores, walking, climbing stairs, or any other physical activity.
I have visited a neurologist, rheumatologist, hematologist, gynecologist, cardiologist, ENT doctor, gastroenterologist, and have been tested for a multitude of diseases at these doctors but all the test results are coming back normal.”
I want to clarify that neither of us are anti va** but she felt it was relevant information to include since that’s when the symptoms started. Thanks in advance for the help!

I am having the weirdest problem with 2 of my oil nodes.
I explain it in the linked clip, but I'm basically getting zero flow rate in pipes that should absolutely have a full flow rate.
I have absolutely no idea why. I have tried adding excessive amounts of pumps, I have tried deleting and rebuilding both segments and the entire pipe network from this point. I have tried every variation of the build type (auto, noodle etc)
I am totally out of ideas at this point. Pls help.

After reading all the foregoing facts, if you aren’t moved to pick up some shares, as I said at the outset, I can’t help you.

I made a post yesterday after completing the campaign which I'm not very proud of. I came off elitist and shat all over the game without giving any good reasons or evidence. Now that I've had some time to think and gather my thought I can lay them out here in a more organized way for any ARPG fans who haven't bought the game yet and are considering it. This post is meant purely to inform, so if you already bought the game and are enjoying it, keep enjoying it and move on. No need to be a huge blizz fanboy and argue with me over what I am right now making very clear is my own opinion.
Some background on me - I've spent 1000's of hours playing an assortment of ARPG's including but not limited to D3, POE, Grim Dawn, and Last Epoch. I'm no expert on the genre, but I'd say I've got enough experience to give an informed opinion. I'm breaking down my critique into several sections, that will sometimes overlap and may seem redundant, but that's only they all influence each other to create an overall feeling of "meh" for me while I'm playing.
1. Power Level
Enemy scaling is fucking terrible. Some people love it - esp the casual crowd that's touting how great the level scaling for co-op is. I'm not a co-op player. I do ARPG's solo and other people are there purely for trading. So this monster scaling for me is shit.

• You never get the power spikes we're all used to in other ARPG's. There's no better feeling than going from feeling like you're shooting little bolts of nothing out of a wet noodle, to feeling like an ultimate god who's blowing up packs like nothing. This just doesn't happen in D4. I always felt like it was taking the same exact amount of time for me to kill enemies. Fucking lame.
• This goes back to itemization. Never did I in my entire playthrough switch one of my items and actually feel stronger. Maybe I was killing things like a millisecond quicker, but never was it like "whoa! that's fucking sick".
• This is the same for the skill tree. Never did I take a node on it and feel significantly stronger.

2. Player Autonomy
It seems like Blizzard created this game for a very very very casual crowd. I knew that going into it, as D3 was the same way, but I feel like they went even further this time in taking away any meaningful level of control the player has over how they play the game.

• Gave us force move, but only make right click available from level 3. Why? Why can't I have move on my left click and attack on right click right from the start.
• No layover map. They say this would take away from immersion. I'm pretty sure pulling up a full screen map every few seconds does that even more. If there are players who feel it takes away from immersion, they don't have to use it. Give us the option.
• The skill tree. Skills in D3 had 5 options to choose from. If you map the old D3 skills on a tree, like you have in D4, and look at it that way, we actually have less choices now.

3. Build Customization
Diablo was never known for deep mechanics, but it seems that D4 has even less choices when it comes to making viable end-game builds.

• The terrible generatospender system for skills. I played a Sorc and even at level 50 was still having to use the basic skill constantly. Long ass cooldowns on half of my skills, and terrible mana regen, and high mana costs for other skills. It just feels clunky. This forces any build that doesn't want to constantly use a basic skill to stack CDR, Resource Gen, and RCR on every item that can roll it. People will say that this gets figured out for end-game. So what? Do I wanna be running around for the first 10+ hours of the game with a gimped character. And should I have to stack all those affixes on every item just to get a decent build?
• In addition to the affixes you're basically pigeon holed into using specific legendary aspects and parts of the skill tree to further help with this resource generating problem. If you don't, be ready to constantly cycle between basic skills and core skills. FEELS LIKE SHIT.
• I haven't gotten to Paragon Boards yet, but from the looks of it they're just a slightly more complex version of Paragon Points from D3. There's nothing build defining about them. You just keep adding stats and multipliers to what's already a pigeon holed build.

4. Time Wasting Aspects
Luckily the devs made it so that you can skip the campaign after you complete it with you first character, but what about seasons? So I have to do this slog all over again every time?

• Not well thought out mechanics. There were dungeons in which I had to bring two of some item to some pedastels and both were pretty close to each other. Guess what? I could only carry one at a time. Other dungeons I had to run to the end of a super long hallway to just talk to some NPC, and then run all the way back to another area with no ability to teleport out. Tons of this running around pointlessly thhroughout the campaign that could have just been done away with.
• Why are MMO's leaking into Diablo? I'm not some fucking gatherer who wants to pick plants and stuff rocks into my pockets. I'm here to kill monsters and get more powerful. Why the fuck did they take the worst parts of Lost Ark and throw them into D4?
• The camel quest. What the fuck was this? Following around some idiot with a camel for 15 minutes through a desert? Like really?

5. General Grievances
For a game that took so long to develop there's a surprisingly large number of bugs and little things that should have been caught in testing, or at least during the open betas.

• Sorc teleporting into walls and rock formations
• Only thing painful about the Duriel fight was not being able to see anything from half of the arena
• Many other areas where the environment completely blocks your view
• Gems - don't gotta say anything more

In conclusion I wish I could get a refund on the game. There are so many better options out there for me at the moment that I can't see myself spending any time on D4 unless they make very significant improvements, but I'm not hopeful. Does that mean it's a bad game? No. A lot of people are enjoying it and maybe you will too. But if you have similar ideas to mine as to what makes an ARPG exciting and fun then I'd not dish out the money they're asking for.

I'm setting up a more permanent oil system with distillation tier 3 and will use the Hydrogen Reformer to turn some fuel gas into H2, which I'll use to destroy my Heavy Oil for extra diesel.
I planned to exhaust extra hydrogen but looks like a flare job according to the Whisk of knowledge. However, I don't have the recipe. I don't know why, and I cannot find it anywhere in the tech tree. The search function when I put in "flare" or "Hydrogen" doesn't take me to any techs with it. I clicked each of them individually and still can't see it.
All the farming recipes have an associated recipe to destroy that crop. So why isn't the hydrogen flare one with Hydrogen Reforming tech? I have the ability to burn it in a boiler which is odd as I can't see that on the tech tree either, but at least I know it.
Whether I'm blind or this is a bug and they aren't showing up is secondary, I'm a bit stuck now where if I want to proceed with the project I have to change my plans, because discoverability of recipes is surprisingly challenging.
This could be easily solved with a double click taking you to the tech tree node, or mousing over an unknown recipe gives you a little popup window with "take to tech tree" and highlight it for you.

Hello there, this is going to be another one of them "new player asking for help" threads so if its not your jam I'm just giving you a heads up. I will be posting a TLDR at the bottom where I just spit fire off some questions if you want to help but don't want to read the ramblings of a noob.
Hi, I recently picked up Maplestory and decided on the reboot server. My account is older but for reboot its only about 3-4 weeks old. Last time I played Maplestory kaiser was new. I'm kind of just looking for some guidance on things I may have missed on the way to completing the tutorial. ATM im lvl 209 on Adele, currently farming Normal Emp, normal Arkarium, and normal Gollux. Other bosses i am killing for Meso but don't really need gear from other than Magnus and his kuk badge. I did do 2 carries for Cht and I think normal magnus very early on but tbh it felt like cheating so I'm not really interested in being carried. I have all my link chars up to level 120-140, except DA who I'm planning to hyper burn to hit 210 (they are currently lvl 70). Legion still needs a bit of work I have about 9 more classes to go most of the others being in the 120-140 range. I have heard the term "sweet water" but I'm not really sure what that is. This also includes what ever the heck an Absolab is... please send help.Game has been ab absolute blast so far but playing solo (meaning talking wise, I know the game is "played" solo more or less) has been a bit of a bummer.
Gear questions/overviewAll my gear that can be is 11 SF, Epic pot (or higher) with 6% str. secondary wep, wep, emblem and are % atk instead of str. Currently I am using 2 event rings and both of those (in addition to my emblem) are all legendary potential. Items I know of and how to get are, empress set, solid gollux, dominator pendant; if there is any items that I should be aiming for please let me know. Also, my weapon i got from Zak is like, REALLY powerful flame? (i think that is how you use this term) and I cant seem to transfer hammer it to any other weapons, not even boss ones. Am I missing something or what?
Game mechanics/NuancesCurrently just unlocked 5th job and looking up/using a guide for that.I have every *Known* boss before lvl.. 200ish? unlocked. Currently working on Princess No.Also for pets, if I get 3 pets using the special cake or what ever its called do I have to renew all my pets skills (like auto buff) every 90 days or or just the water? Is it even worth getting pet(s) now?
thanks for reading my ramblings, if you made it this far... why. Appreciate you though <3.
TLDR Version (thanks for helping if you decide to) 1: I'm a new player, 3-4 weeks old. Level 209 Adele with about 1.0-1.1m range on boss spec buffed. 2: Link skills and legion are "done" or WIP (know what to do just need to do it). 3: I'm hyper burning DA for the really good link/legion skill, opinions? 4: MY gear is 11 SF, 6% or higher str (weapon, badge, and secondary wep are % atk instead). 5: Currently running Normal Emp, Normal Gollux, and Normal Ark daily for "obvious upgrades" 6: What is a "Sweet Water"? 7: What is an "Absolab"? 8: How does transfer hammer work? it only seems to "sometimes" transfer the stats correctly? 9: What is an "Android" / "Heart" and is it worth worrying about atm? 10: On maple event I'm maxing it daily for 3 chars, I'm doing it on 6+ on Sunday, what do I buy? ~ 11: For Vmatrix on the skill acquisition nodes (not the tri nodes) do i need to hold onto dupes?
I Really appreciate any and all help, The game has been an absolute blast so far and I'm kinda just vibing rn. The pacing feels good but I do occasionally feel lost.

As in my studies today. I find many commandments many can not be followed in the modern day for people do not live as before. But one stands out to me more than the others. One especially. Is this one Command. Tell me the truth, what people stopped this commandment?

 Tetzaveh וְאַתָּ֞ה תְּצַוֶּ֣ה ׀ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל וְיִקְח֨וּ אֵלֶ֜יךָ שֶׁ֣מֶן זַ֥יִת זָ֛ךְ כָּתִ֖ית לַמָּא֑וֹר לְהַעֲלֹ֥ת נֵ֖ר תָּמִֽיד׃ You shall further instruct the Israelites to bring you clear oil of beaten olives for lighting, for kindling lamps regularly. בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵד֩ מִח֨וּץ לַפָּרֹ֜כֶת אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־הָעֵדֻ֗ת יַעֲרֹךְ֩ אֹת֨וֹ אַהֲרֹ֧ן וּבָנָ֛יו מֵעֶ֥רֶב עַד־בֹּ֖קֶר לִפְנֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֑ה חֻקַּ֤ת עוֹלָם֙ לְדֹ֣רֹתָ֔ם מֵאֵ֖ת בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {ס} Aaron and his sons shall set them up in the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain which is over [the Ark of] the Pact, [to burn] from evening to morning before יהוה.

Foebreaker is one of the jobs that kind of lost its niche on the transition to TZA, but it is useful in its own right just like other classes.

Disclaimers

• I won't be taking characters into account outside some scant cases and some synergies with starting kits.
• All Jobs worked fine by themselves on IZJS so there is not right or wrong answer in the end.
• There are many different styles and scenarios which can change how useful a combo may or may not be, just as there are many ways you can run a combo, are you running a 6-people or a 3-people party? Which game mode you are playing? What kind of weapons you want to use? Are you doubling up on jobs? It's difficult to take into account all these distinct scenarios, so feel free to correct me or point out scenarios where one job combo might be more useful.

Other Jobs:

• Archer
• Black Mage
• Bushi

Foebreaker:

Overview:
Foebreaker is the more defensive of the three melee heavy armor jobs having the highest HP of all three and having a bigger focus on using one-handed weapons with shields (Greatswords eventually take over as Knight's main weapon) making them excellent Tanks (though tanking is unreliable in this game due to how the Decoy spell works it can still be fairly useful), while some powerful foes tend to ignore evasion late game a lot of Shields tend to have secondary properties that makes them useful for mitigating elemental damage or decreasing the chance of getting hit with status effects by having permanent Shell (specially useful for fights that spam insta-death attacks as there isn't a way to make your characters completely immune to it) so they are still useful even in the end-game especially if you are fighting bosses for the first time, they also have a good amount of Battle Lores, access to all physical damage augments (Focus and Adrenaline) and Last Stand, the biggest draw to the class is access to all Breaks, Technicks which lower enemies stats, Shear lowers Magick Resist, Expose lowers Physical Resist, Addle lowers Magic and Wither lowers Strength, while the former two can be acquired quite early, so they have more time to be of use the latter two are gotten quite late into the game, Breaks can be used multiples times to significantly increase the damage output of your weapons and magicks and significantly decrease the damage output from enemies making even a lot of dangerous fights pushovers in terms of raw damage (though fight mechanics and use of insta-death attacks can still be dangerous), outside of Breaks they don't have much utility and extra Technicks outside a few Esper unlocks though that will be discussed in more detail in the "Utility" and "Espers" section, lastly they are a fairly slow job with only one Swiftness though they can eventually get more Swiftness licenses with Espers, potentially getting all three.
​
Foebreaker's main weapons are Hammers, Axes and Hand-Bombs, all of them use Strength and Vitality to increase damage, it is fairly easy to increase vitality with accessories like the Agate Ring or Germinas Boots, the point of contention comes with that fact that these weapons have an element of luck to them, while other weapons have variance in their damage Foebreaker's weapons can roll for either extremely high, average or extremely low damage and while the RNG is player favored some players still find them unreliable, they also lack elemental affinities to increase the damage against certain enemy types, and it also doesn't help that compared to other ranged weapons hand-bombs don't Crit, though there are advantages, Hammers & Axes have really high ATK power, so even with the element of luck they tend to they tend to hit really hard compared to other shop weapons, they also have fast CT speed with Axes being only a little behind fast weapons like Ninja Swords, with you being able to get weapons like Francisca (an excellent Axe) and Vriscka (Foebreaker's ultimate weapon) really early, Vriscka also has a pretty decent combo rate, so it can actually do a lot of extra damage pretty often, for Hand-bombs they are a good way to hit flyers and one of the few ways to inflict good water elemental damage outside Aquara Motes (Fumalore with water bombs, which can also be used to increase the damage of Aquara Motes) outside of that their ammunition has a good variety of different statuses, Poison Bombs, Stun Bombs, Stink Bombs, Oil Bombs and Chaos Bombs gives them access to Poison, Stop, Sap, Oil and Confuse status respectively.
​
Utility: The obvious ones are the Breaks, Expose (Physical resist debuff) and Shear (Magick resist debuff) can be gotten quite early and while they are overkill for a lot of fights they can be incredibly useful for fighting powerful bosses and marks, Wither (Physical damage debuff) and Addle (Magick damage debuff) are also incredibly useful, even using them only a few times can significantly reduce the damage your party takes from bosses, though they are gotten quite late into the game where you may not have much left to use them on, outside that and their status inflicting potential with hand-bombs they are lacking in the utility department, a lot of their Technicks are locked behind Espers, they lack any Item Lores, the only other Technicks they start with (outside innate skills) are Infuse, which is great for getting your characters to HP critical to increase combos and activate low HP augments and Sight Unseeing which can be useful to get enemies to low HP for poaching.
​
Espers: Fairly weak unlockable, some of the more useful options are locked behind some competed Espers, highlights are Hashmal and Ultima that provide them with the Swiftness licenses they lack, Hashmal is a fairly competed Esper but if your Monk already has access to their Swiftness licenses Ultima can be a boon to Foebreaker (two Swiftness is enough for good CT speed as the difference between two and three swiftness is fairly marginal), Belias gives them Horology which can potentially do good damage, but I never used the Technick myself, Zalera gives Traveler which can actually do a lot of damage if you know how to use (specially useful for fighting powerful bosses early and getting through the extra defense that enemies have at critical HP), Shades of Black is an excellent Technick for dealing with Physical Pailings and doing AoE damage, but sadly it is gotten via Cúchulainn a really competed Esper, a single Battle Lore from Adrammelech is really meaningless specially since the class already has a lot of Battle Lores and the Esper has more interesting unlocks elsewhere, 4 Magic Lores was a more interesting option on IZJS where you could only pick 6 classes, so Foebreaker could make so use of Shades of Black, Motes, Fangs and innate spells, but it is a very small increase and both Zeromus and Exodus have more interesting unlocks elsewhere, Famfrit gives you a single Magic Lore where not only other classes really have more interesting unlocks from this Esper it is also a pretty insignificant increase in magic, it almost feels like a joke option.
​
What it needs and what it can offer: Foebreaker is a self-contained job that lost a bit of its place on the transition to TZA due to dual jobs, it doesn't need a lot, maybe a less luck-based weapon, easier access to AoE damage and some extra utility options like Item Lores, where Foebreaker really shines is in what it can provide to other jobs, access to all Breaks, Last Stand, Adrenaline, Focus, Heavy Armor (which includes the Genji Armor for the Genji Set and Genji Gloves which some classes like Monk want), a lot of HP and Battle Lores, a way to hit flyers with Hand-Bombs (which includes a way to boost water damage with the Fumalore), while it doesn't have any magicks outside of Shades of Black (if you unlock it) that can be seen as a benefit since it doesn't take away the focus of whatever weapon you are trying to use.

The combos:

Archer: A pretty straightforward upgrade to both parties, Archer appreciates all the Battle Lores and early Heavy Armor from Foebreaker, while also getting Adrenaline to increase its damage, a few extra Magick Lores for Cura and Raise due to bypassing Esper Locks, 1000 Needles for free due to Foebreaker having Infuse, and also a good amount of extra HP for better survivability, they get access to Hand-bombs for an extra ranged option that covers some status effects and elements that they don't get with their arrows (which includes the Oil Bombs for Oil to increase damage from Fiery Arrows), though they can already hit flyers with Bows, with Bows you can use breaks from range which can be helpful for powerful bosses and marks though Addle and Shear overlap due to Archer already having these Technicks that can be seen as a drawback if you want to spread out those abilities, putting all vitality weapons with Archer is convenient as Bows also needs Germinas Boots, these frees up the second pair to be used on Shikari without having to swap accessories around depending on your party composition, lastly as a bonus they get Sight Unseeing from Foebreaker which is useful since they have access to Poach.
​
On the Foebreaker side gets a lot of interesting things too, Light Armor is a bit lackluster due to only really excelling at increasing HP (defense tends to be more important and Heavy Armor excels at Physical defense, though the balanced defense of Light Armor can potentially be useful for fights that alternate between physical and magical attacks often, though you don't get the strength bonus from Heavy Armor) but gives them more options for combining pieces of equipment and there are pieces like the Brave Suit that are good for any physical attacker, and certain pieces of Light Armor increase resistances to certain elements and combining that with shields can make you completely immune to certain elements, though they can already hit flyers with hand-bombs, Bows are a more powerful option and also gives them extra elemental and status coverage with arrows, Archer also gives Foebreaker a lot of extra Technicks which includes getting them Traveler and Shades of Black for free, Shades of Black gives them a way to hit flyers without switching equipment, an option for pailings and AoE damage (Gil Toss is also an option for non-elemental AoE damage and Flyers if you have the money to spare, 1000 Neddles can also be used for flyers), Steal is useful for Tanks to attract the attention of enemies, all three swiftness without the use of an Esper is also a boon, Cura and Raise to use the odd Magick Lores they have on it's board, and more importantly all Item Lores except Ether Lores which can be really useful in a pinch specially with the Pheasant Netsuke, there aren't many drawbacks outside of Archer not needing Genji Gloves since Bows don't combo, no fire spells for Burning Bow and also Foebreaker can already hit flyers so if you are running 12-jobs putting two ranged options on the same character can be seen as a drawback though it isn't a huge deal.
​
Black Mage: Foebreaker being a class that specializes in the survivability department gives Black Mage a pretty good upgrade in that aspect, the obvious drawback is that Black Mage doesn't need Genji Armor, Heavy Armor, Battle Lores and Physical damage Augments, so if you are running 12-jobs that can be a drawback since some classes need those boosts, but they do get access to Last Stand and lot of extra HP, Fumalore gives them a way to do water damage and also boosts Aquara Motes, together with all the Magic Lores, Mystic Armor and Magic Augments from Black Mage it can do a lot of damage, it also gives them some extra statuses that they don't have access too with certain ammunition, Hammers & Axes are a decent weapon for Black Mage if for whatever reason they have to do physical attacks, due to their element of Luck you can do decent damage even if you want to stick with Mystic Armor for the boost in magick (good physical damage also helps with the MP regen from Inquisitor and Headsman though Black Mage doesn't really need it that much), and being one-handed also means they can use a shield to increase their evasion and to mitigate statuses and elemental damage, they can potentially get Shades of Black from Foebreaker which is helpful to hold you over until you get more powerful spells or if you run out of MP though that is an unlikely unlockable due to Cúchulainn being a competed Esper, Shear is also pretty amazing for magic damage as you can get it quite early in the game, the other Technicks are more of a bonus though.
​
Foebreaker gets some things from the combo too, three Ether Lores, two Remedy Lores, some extra Technicks, a free swiftness, access to Green Magicks means they can self-Decoy for tanking (high Magic from Black Mage means Decoy also sticks more often, Bubble can increase their high HP further and Reverse can make enemies heal them when they take damage), Black Magicks means they can hit flyers without switching equipment around, do AoE damage and also deal with pailings by using non-elemental spells, all Ether Lores give them some utility and if you give them Zalera or put the combo on a character with innate Steal they can get Poach and Steal, Steal is particularly useful for Tanks for getting the attention of enemies and letting other classes keep their full HP\low HP augments activated, if you want the last swiftness from Ultima you also get Telekinesis from Black Mage which gives you another option to hit flyers and can also be used in fights that block the attack command though Ultima comes in later in the game.
​
Bushi: One of the better combos if you want to purely emphasize the physical aspect of the Bushi job, it gives everything Bushi wants without giving it any extra magick options, this can be seen as a drawback since Foebreaker lacks any magics to really use with all the Magic Lores, Mystic Armor and Magic Augments from Bushi (though they get Shades of Black for free from Bushi), but if you aren't interested in that and just wants your Katana user to slice and dice this one is the better combo for that, Bushi gets a lot of extra Battle Lores, Adrenaline, Focus, early Heavy Armor, so they don't have to rely on innate skills or wait until Genji and Zodiark, all Shield Block augments and all Shields to use with Blood Sword, Karkata and Khumba (if you unlock the first two you also get Traveler from Foebreaker as a bonus for a good opener for fights if you know how to use it, with Belias you get Horology for free with Libra), a way to hit flyers that doesn't rely on RNG via Hand-Bombs which also allows them to do a lot of water damage with Fumalore via Aquara Motes due to the magic aspects of the class, it also gives them some status inflicting potential with the varied ammunition Hand-bombs have, lastly they get all Breaks which include Shear for better Shades of Black damage and Expose for better Katana damage.
​
Foebreaker gets some things out of the combo too, slightly better HP from Bushi, all three swiftness, Mystic Armor (which isn't that useful for Foebreaker as they lack magicks outside innate skills and Shades of Black, they also don't have weapons that can be boosted with the White Robes or Black Robes) some Katanas have elemental affinities which gives them some extra elemental coverage, Shades of Black for free as an option for flyers, AoE damage and pailings, and also a bunch of extra Technicks (see the Bushi post's utility section for more detail on them), two Remedy Lores for some item utility, the only drawback outside the mentioned lack of magicks is that both share the Genji set though that isn't a huge deal.
​
Knight: The three melee Heavy Armor jobs tend to not pair well with each other, they are generally just redundant combos that don't really improve either party meaningfully and feel quite bad in a 12-job setting (though this one is reminiscent of an FFI-style Warrior so if you are into reference builds it can be fun), Knight doesn't get the extra speed it wants unless you use the Esper unlocks from Foebreaker (you get the third Swiftness and White Magicks from Hashmal which is interesting but Hashmal comes in really late), they get more HP, a few extra Battle Lores from Foebreaker and potentially get some Magic Lores to improve their unlockable White Magicks, but Foebreaker's Magic Lores are behind some competed Espers and it also a marginal improvement at best, they get a way to hit flyers with hand-bombs which also gives them some extra status and elemental coverage, Breaks gives them some utility and Expose does improve Sword damage, Belias gives you Holorogy with Potion Lore 1 which is neat I suppose, they don't get mystic armor (outside innate licenses) for the Excalibur+White Robes combo and better White Magicks, and outside the mentioned unlocks no Magic Lores or Magic Augments for their magicks too, no Light Armor for Brave Suit, permanent buffs and elemental mitigation.
​
Foebreaker potentially gets some White Magicks (some of Knight's White Magicks don't use the magic stat though the healing spells are just going to be ok due to the lack of magic from the combo) and Potion Lores for utility (the one from Belias is basically free but Shemhazai is a more competed Esper), a few extra Technicks (Ultima gives the second Swiftness, Telekinesis and an extra Battle Lore, Telekinesis is useful like I mentioned in the Black Mage section, but Ultima is a later Esper), the problem with the combo comes in how much overlap there is, they have similar amount of Battle Lores and HP, they have the same augments, you don't get a new armor type for either, and they also overlap in the Genji Set (which isn't a huge deal since only Monk really misses it), they have the same shield and shield block licenses, you get to pick between one-handed swords which have less attack power but don't have an element of Luck, cover some statuses and elemental options, and Hammers & Axes which have better attack power but have an element of luck to them and also need vitality, so there is a bit of a dynamic here though it is better to split those weapons than keeping them on the same character as some jobs benefits from more powerful weapon-types, once Greatswords kick in Foebreaker doesn't really improve them outside of Expose and a few extra Battle Lores, overall fairly redundant, the improvements on both sides are very marginal, niche or come in-late and in a 12-job setting all the overlap means other classes won't really have the opportunity to be improved by the options that both Knight and Foebreaker give.
​
Machinist: A turret of death, especially if you know how to get some powerful guns, use the right elemental shots and accessories like Berserker Braces, Machinist really is only really lacking Adrenaline and Focus for Guns, and Foebreaker can use some utility and speed, so they complement each other really well, Machinist gets to use breaks from range which is helpful for powerful Marks and Bosses, Hand-Bombs gives them some extra status effect and elements that they don't have (and consequently also gives them Hand-bombs 3 and Makara for free), Machinist has Poach so Sight Unseeing from Foebreaker is helpful for getting enemies to low HP to use it, Machinist doesn't really benefit from Heavy Armor or Battle Lores, but you can use pieces like the Maximilian for the speed for the marginal increase in CT since guns don't use stats and the extra HP from Foebreaker is nice, they get shields and shield blocks to use with measures which can be used for evasion Tanking (measures have high evade) though without at least Shades of Black (which you are unlikely to get due to Cúchulainn being a competed Esper) you won't be able to do damage as measures have low attack power, and they also have buffs tied to them, so you can end up buffing the boss, they also get some extra Technicks outside of breaks (see "Utility" and "Esper" section for that).
​
Foebreaker gets some interesting things out of the combo too, Measures gives them some buffing and evasion tanking utility, with Exodus you can self-cast Decoy though without the Indigo Pendant you'll have a harder time sticking the spell due to the lack of high Magic Lores, Mystic Armor and Augments, all three swiftness, its magic lores for free, some extra Technicks which Libra for seeing Traps and enemy stats (Steal and Gil Toss I talked about in the Archer section), most Item Lores except two Phoenix and two Ether lores which gives them good item support for emergencies, a good ranged-weapon that ignores stats and defense and gives them some extra status effect and elemental coverage that they don't give with Hand-bomb ammo, with Famfrit they get some Time Magicks for extra utility and status effects and self-casting Haste though that comes in really late, for Light Armor see the Archer section, the drawbacks are that Machinist doesn't need Heavy Armor (which includes de Genji Set) and Battle Lores, though that is a compromise you'll have to make if you want both Adrenaline and Focus on Machinist no matter which Heavy Armor melee job you give them (outside of Uhlan who doesn't have Genji), Foebreaker and Machinist can also both hit flyers and lastly no Black Robes for dark shot.
​
Monk: Similar to Foebreaker\Bushi this is one of the better combos if you want to purely focus on Monk as a damage dealer, it may not power up it's magicks, but it does give Monk the tools it needs to maximize Pole damage, Monk gets Heavy Armor and the Genji Set for the Genji Gloves (which increases the already high combo rate of Poles), they get Sight Unseeing for free from Foebreaker, and more importantly all the Breaks which include Shear which increase Pole damage (Poles hit for magick resist instead of physical resist), Shear can be gotten quite early which is a boon for Pole damage specially for fighting powerful bosses early, they overlap in Expose and Wither though, so if you wanted to spread out your breaks this may be seen as a negative, they also overlap in water boosting weapons too though that isn't a huge deal, they get Infuse for getting to low HP for better combos, the other Technicks from Foebreaker are Esper unlocks, lastly they get access to hand-bombs for some status effect coverage though they can already hit flyers with Poles, because Poles hit for magick resist you have the option to switch between Foebreaker's weapons and Poles depending on the enemy's defenses.
​
Foebreaker gets extra Battle Lores, a good boost in HP for better tanking, easy access to Bravery for boosting physical damage and other White Magicks if you unlock them (though they won't be super powerful due to the lack of magic from this combo but some of Monk's White Magicks don't use the magic stat, so it is extra utility), decent item support with two Potion Lores (three with Shemhazai) and a Phoenix Lore, an alternative to hit flyers that hit for magick resist (some Poles also have some elemental affinities, so they get some extra elemental coverage), though they can already hit flyers with Hand-bombs and Shades of Black which they get for free from Monk (Shades of Black can also be used for pailings and AoE damage), access to other Technicks from Monk which includes Libra for seeing traps and enemy stats, for Light Armor see the Archer section, the obvious drawback (outside the lack of powering up Monks magic) is that you have to play the long game and wait until Ultima for the rest of the swiftness licenses, and both having really high amount of Battle Lores and HP so in a 12-job setting some jobs that appreciates those boosts can miss out on those depending on how your party is laid out, and lastly they both can hit flyers.
​
Red Battlemage: An interesting combo that is a pretty decent upgrade for both sides, Red Battlemage gets access to Heavy Armor and a lot of extra Battle Lores (which initially isn't super useful since Maces use only magic and are a pretty decent weapon-type but if you unlock Greatswords you can make excellent use of them), physical augments which also help Mace damage, Last Stand and a lot of extra HP for better survivability (and to make the Balance spell more powerful), all shield block augments, access to all breaks for extra support options and to increase the magic and physical damage with Shear and Expose which can be gotten quite early, Red Battlemage can struggle for MP as they lack easy access to all channeling augments, and they also tend to spend a lot of time casting due to the variety of magicks they have, that extra physical edge that Foebreaker gives helps Red Battlemage's regen their MP via Inquisitor and Headsman, Axes & Hammers are also decent alternatives for Maces as they can get high rolls even if you want to stick with Mystic Armor, Hand-Bombs gives them extra status effect and elemental coverage (though they can already hit flyers with spells) and Fumalore can be used to boost Aquara Motes for good water damage due to Red Battlemage's high Magic, they get a few extra Technicks from Foebreaker though a lot of them are locked behind useful Espers, lastly with Cúchulainn you get both high level Black Magicks and Shades of Black, which is pretty neat and can help hold you over until you get -aga spells, is good option if you run out of MP and also activates Warmage to help with MP regen, you can heal yourself with Dark spells with a Demon Shield.
​
Foebreaker gets an Ether Lore for a marginal improvement in item support, a good variety of magicks for dealing with flyers, pailings, AoE, buffing, status inflicting and dealing with elemental weaknesses, this also includes Decoy, Bubble and Reverse for Tanking which is useful (with the Magic Lores, Mystic Armor and Magic Augments of Red Mage Decoy also sticks more consistently), Souleater which can deal a lot of damage with high ATK weapons and is also useful for certain fights, potentially Greatswords for an alternative to their weapons that doesn't have an element of luck, the drawbacks are that you have to wait until either Ultima or Hashmal to get other Swiftness licenses, so they are rather slow for a good portion of the game specially since they can't self-cast Haste since Red Mage lacks it, Mystic Armor doesn't boost any of Foebreaker's weapons, overlap in shield licenses, they both can hit flyers and no weapons to boost the spells of Red Battlemage too.
​
Shikari: In a similar vein to Foebreaker\Bushi and Foebreaker\Monk this combo is all about powering up Daggers and Ninja Swords, while Yagyu+Black Robes does insane damage in the endgame on dark weak bosses if you want Shikari's weapons to be consistently powerful for the whole game this combo is an interesting option, Shikari gets the Heavy Armor, Battle Lores it wants while also getting the rest of the shields and the shield block augments it is missing, Daggers and Ninja Swords have a good variety of on-hit status effects and some have elemental affinities together with Hand-Bombs and (if you unlock it via Shemhazai) Guns you have a lot of status and elemental coverage, a way to hit flyers and good ranged option, both Shikari's and Foebreaker's weapons need Germinas Boots, so it frees up the second pair to be used on Archer without you having to swap equipment around depending on your party composition, all Breaks for Shikari which includes Expose for more physical damage, Shikari also gets Infuse to get to low HP to set up combos (Ninja Swords have a high combo rate) and activate Adrenaline, they also get some extra Technicks (see the "Esper" and "Utility" section).
​
Foebreaker gets a few extra Technicks which includes Libra for seeing Traps, Traveler for free and Telekinesis (which can also be used for fights that block the attack command) and 1000 Needles gives them a way to hit flyers without switching equipment, though Telekinesis comes in later in the game, all three swiftness, its Magic Lores for free, great item support with all Remedy Lores and Potion Lores (potentially two Phoenix Lores with Ultima if you don't need the Esper on another class), with Adrammelech and Mateus you can get Shades of Black and Gil Toss respectively giving an option to hit flyers, deal with pailings (in Shades of Blacks case since Gil Toss is physical) and do AoE damage though those Espers are normally competed, with Cúchulainn you can get some White Magicks for extra support options, for Light Armor see the Archer section, drawbacks come with Shikari not really needing Genji Gloves, they also both have high HP so other jobs that could use those boosts in a 12-job setting can miss out on that, they also share similar shield licenses though Shikari lacks the best shields and shield block augments, so it is less noticeable, they can both hit flyers, but Shikari has to either unlock Shades of Black, Guns, rely on starting licenses for low-level magic and weapons or wait until Telekinesis, so they appreciate a way to hit flyers earlier.
​
Time Battlemage: Pairing two Heavy Armor jobs may seem counterintuitive but Time Battlemage pairs surprisingly well if the melee Heavy Armor jobs as it works as a utility upgrade of sorts, a "plus" version of the job, Time Magicks are good but are situational and unobtrusive enough that damage dealers can appreciate the odd utility, status inflicting and buffing potential it brings, they also bring the ability to self-cast Haste and Berserk with a good weapon Foebreaker can turn into a mob and boss destroying machine, you have a lot of status coverage with Hand-bomb ammo and Bolts from Crossbows (Crossbows also let you use Breaks at range which can be helpful for powerful bosses and marks), though they overlap in the niche of hitting flyers so that can be seen as a drawback, Foebreaker appreciates the three swiftness since it is a rather slow job, Time Battlemage has some decent Magic Lores and access to Magic Augments so if you unlocked Shades of Black you could put it to decent use, though it is behind a really competed Esper, you can unlock Cura and Raise from Adrammelech for some healing and raising for emergencies and off-battle healing, Foebreaker also gets all Remedy Lores and two Ether Lores (three with Zalera which also nets you Traveler a good Technick if you know how to use it) for some better item support, Horology for free, and some other Technicks which includes Poach which works well with Sight Unseeing (see "Utility" section), with Zodiark and Ultima you can unlock high level one-handed Swords for as an option for a less luck based weapon though depending on your party set-up those Espers may be better used elsewhere, and they also unlock later in the game.
​
Time Battlemage gets a more reliable weapon as Crossbows and shields to use with one-handed swords if they unlock it, a lot of extra HP for better survivability (and to power-up the Balance spell) and a few extra Battle Lores, some extra Technicks which includes all Breaks for better Physical damage via Expose, drawbacks come in Crossbows not needing Genji Gloves, Foebreaker not having extra Magicks to use with Time Battlemage's Magic Lores and Magic Augments (outside innate skills, Shades of Black if you unlock it or using Aquara Motes with Fumalore), overlap in Heavy Armor and Breaks, lack of Mystic Armor and higher amount of Magic Lores means without the Indigo Pendant you'll have trouble sticking statuses effects, they also can both hit flyers, even with overlap it is a solid combo overall as Time Battlemage is an odd job that sometimes has a hard time finding a place to pair, so it works well as an upgrade to other jobs like I mentioned in the beginning of the section.
​
Uhlan: Similar situation to Knight\Foebreaker, a lot of overlap outside of shields, so I'll focus on the new aspects, Uhlan gets their Breaks for free since Foebreaker has all breaks (includes Expose for better Spear damage), they are normally behind really competed Espers, so the overlap is less of a negative here compared to other Jobs that have breaks, slightly better HP, they get Sight Unseeing to use with Poach (see "Utility" section) and potentially other extra Technicks from Foebreaker though they are behind some competed Espers, they can both hit flyers though hand-bombs gives them some extra status and elemental coverage.
​
Foebreaker gets some more elemental coverage with Spears including some powerful endgame Spears with Gugnir (which comes in really late) and the Holy Lance which also gives them another option for hitting flyers, a few extra Technicks which includes free Shades of Black for pailings, flyers and AoE damage and Souleater which is good with high ATK weapons and for fights that block the attack commando, they get decent item support with 2 two of every Item Lore except Ether Lores, lastly they get access to the Black Magicks (more with Chaos which includes the powerful Aeroga, the non-elemental Bio and some situational but useful AoE status spells) from Uhlan which have similar benefits to Shades of Black but without the element of luck, but you are limited to the spell selection of Uhlan, overall a little better than Knight\Foebreaker but not by a lot.
​
White Mage: Reminiscent of FFI White Mages where they could use Hammers, White Mage gets Last Stand and a lot of HP (you get Greatswords for free due to an HP node in the Foebreaker board which is neat) and compared to Black Mage, White Mage really appreciates the high amount of Battle Lores (which also nets you Souleater for free which is good with high ATK weapons and for fights that block the attack command) and a good weapon to use, so they can do damage during downtime and regen their MP via Inquisitor and Headsman as they can struggle with MP without a Sage's Ring due to not having great damage to regen their MP, Hammers & Axes having an element of luck to them which means they can do decent damage even if you prefer to stick with Mystic Armor, Hand-bombs gives them some status and elemental coverage though they can already hit flyers with Rods (and Holy though it is a lackluster spell), Fumalore can also be used to boost Aquara Motes for good water damage due to White Mage's high amount of Magic Lores, Magic Augments and Mystic Armor, together with a good helm and an accessory like Hermes Sandals Holy Rod+White Robes can do a high amount of damage to undead, Holy-weak enemies and enemies that don't resist Holy, they also get a few extra Technicks and all Breaks, as Breaks are more situational and don't use MP they don't interfere with White Mages job as a healer as much compared to something like Time Battlemage\White Mage which has similar issues to Black Mage\White Mage with gambit overload and MP problems.
​
Foebreaker gets all White Magicks which speaks for itself in terms of utility, powerful healing spells can be used to damage Undead enemies and spells like Curaja are also Aoe, two Ether Lores, a few extra Technicks and ability to self-cast Decoy, Bubble and Reverse for Tanking, Decoy and Reverse sticks more consistently due to White Mage's high Magic, they can also put Shades of Black to good use if they unlock, useful for flyers, pailings and AoE and it also regens MP via Warmage though it is locked behind a competed Esper, overall a pretty great combo.
