WHM is pretty much dependent on AHable gear. Relic pieces are only situationally good and Blessed/Nobles is really some of the best gear you can use. There might be some other pieces that work well but no one will criticize you for not having them. Another great thing about those sets is that, compared to a lot of other end-all-be-all AHable gear for other jobs, WHM AH gear is far cheaper IMO.

Can get a decent starter kit w/ mnk's AH options, but those are used during the transition to obtaining endgame gear, as we all know that takes time, but just getting there, and having no further interest going on, doesn't cut it.

I too would go with whm..you can get your MaxHP+ Cure set, idle set, HMP Set and -emn set all from AH and even if you did EG a large part of it would still come from AH.

Blm? I don't really see blm being all that AHable..I mean there are some ~ok pieces you can get but some of the best peices like Zenith, Mor, Goliard?, and Yigit aren't on AH, and all blm should try for at least Zenith hands and Yigit feet.

If you were going with SAM, you're going to be lacking some major boosts from rare/ex's.

ace's helm vs, Walahra Turban, justice torque vs. peacock charm, brutall earring can be bought, B. Kote vs. O.kote, Speed Belt/Warwolf Belt/Potent Belt can be bought, Byakko's Haidate vs. Dusk, Usukane Sune-Ate vs. Fuma Sune-Ate, and Black Tathlum can be bought.
nuff said.

in all honesty, you can get AH-only for any job and be halfway decent... if you know how to play it. Gear doesn't make the player.
No-AHonly job is going to turn heads anymore.

although items like Cerberus Mantle+1, Dusk Gloves+1, Black Tathlum, Speed Belt, and any job that can equip it can be a major boost your wallet can help you with.

Superior in more situations than the former.
Quote:
justice torque vs. peacock charm
Superior in uncapped, former wins in capped acc, but former should never be used simultaneously as Ace's. If your acc is capped enough to lose out on the neck, why are you tossing 1% haste in your hat.
Quote:
Swift Belt/V.Belt vs. Potent Belt
You have a great point here, those 2 belts beat the ***out of potent, but I'd hardly consider either belt as "endgame"
Quote:
Byakko's Haidate vs. Dusk
Bow down to haidate
Quote:
Usukane Sune-Ate vs. Fuma Sune-Ate
Another good point, beats the latter choice more often than not.

I think WHM and BRD are the easiest jobs to effectively gear from the AH without spending huge sums of gil. A passable (but not great) BLM can also largely be geared from the AH, but be warned, it's significantly more expensive than WHM or BRD.

As far as BRD goes, yes you can gear it from the AH, but if you're not doing endgame, you don't need the extra CHR from errant hpl. or osode to land on anything you'd be fighting anyway, and yigit/manteel are going to prove much more useful, and are also not obtained from endgame events.

Yeah good luck getting the points when everyone want to spam RvB, and Nyzul >.>. And if we want open up more Rare Ex you might as well grab musical earring (can buy Ancient Beastmen Coins from bazaars) that fast cast earring.

hmm idk but if money isnt a issue i could make a decent sam of course it make take quite some time but....

head MoK head, neck Ancient Torque, ear 1 Bushinomimi, ear 2 brutal earring, Hauby +1, Hachiman Kote +1, ring 1 rajas, ring 2 mars's ring (yes yes i know), back Cerb. Mantle +1, waist Ninurta's Sash (same as mars's), pants Hachiryu Haidate, feet Hmn. Sune-Ate +1, weapon Futsuno Mitama or a hagun and if your worried about the enmity from cerb+1 grab a Failnaught

now obviously this is assuming gil isnt a issue time isnt a issue and with no gear swaps, but as previous people have said, you will still be out done but other sam with end game gear and you will have 100s of mil invested but you will still throw out some ok numbers
