This guide was Provided by, WhitetigerOfValefor, and editors. Hello!
(This is my First guide so bear with me and Edit as you please!)
I have created this guide to help you decide, As a Blue Mage what to do in sky and what your options are.

Support Jobs:

• Thief
  • This Sub is commonly used on gods to create higher skill chain damage and/or get hate on tanks.Usually when subbing Thief you are using a Shield which increases your Defense. Blue Mages can perform a Light Skill Chain by Savage Blade >> Cannonball (Blue Magic) most likely on Genbu as he is Weak to Lightning which can be Magic Bursted by BLMs Thus... You get the point.
• Ninja
  • This Sub is used for Farming purposes mainly used not as commonly as gods unless you want a stat mod from a second Sword at the sacrifice of Sneak Attack and Trick Attack. When holding your own this is a great support job for sky, but when it comes God times, more often than not Thief Sub will be more useful.
• White Mage
  • SAY WHAT?!?!? This is only if a linkshell desperately needs healers, you will not use this very often but it is a nice support job to have for an additional MP and healing tanks during farming or god time
    • Diamondhide is one of the MOST IMPORTANT spells a Blue Mage can have when subbing White Mage or even for all support jobs. This will be listed below in the list of spells equipped for each support Job.
    • A Light Staff is probably the best item when having this support job used.
• Warrior
  • Almost never used by a linkshell because it cant hold hate aswell as tanks, but if a Linkshell desperately needs a tank, have a few DD's sub thief and [[Trick Attack and make sure to keep up Defender,Cocoon AND your HP.
  • With a few Trick Attacks, a BLU/WAR can tank almost like a PLD. Just remember keep Provoking a Monster and pop a few moves to steal hate, Magic Fruit, DD Spells, Head Butt Can buy you time on Provoke.
• Monk
  • Okay, please don't laugh when you see this Monk can be a serious support job. The reason why you would sub Monk is for HP, HP is a contributing factor to Breath spells of a Blue Mage. Heat Breath is one of the most SERIOUS breath spells for a Blue Mage.
