White Mage
White Mage is the main medic for any party. It has access to the highest curative spells available. The most effective way a White Mage cures is through use of Regen. For the HP/cost it is the most efficient and incurs little enimity, Supplementing with Mid-Level cures when neccessary. Raise 2 and 3 are another plus to White Mage, where all other mage jobs that could be used as a medic substitute do not possess.
The 2 main subs most commonly used for White Mage is Black Mage and Summoner. Black Mage grants useful tools like escape and haste to the party, as well as tractor in case one dies in a bad spot. Summoner gives primarly MP boost with added Refresh effect. The Summons will be too low to be used offensively but shining ruby can be a helpful bonus to aid tanks (not to mention you can still carby pull if neccessary).
I very rarely use White Mage. Most cases I would be needed as many other jobs instead of a healer. When it is needed it becomes a good thing to have it. Other than that it stays in the closet.
