Cross Job Tips

Combat Tips
Wizard has the highest INT, but their unique spells aren’t any better than say Black Mage or Summoner.
Wizard shines when you actually use Spellcraft as a support ability when playing another job. This is especially useful for healing Jobs.
You can use Raise Mist, for instance, to make Raise happen at the end of the turn for a few turns and revive anyone that dies.
My favorite is to use Spellcraft for Astrologian abilities. You can use the Blast spellcraft effect to make those support spells affect the entire team.
Rain spellcraft is fantastic for single target damage because you basically get 4 attacks for the price of 1.
