    /rdm is *best* 68+ as you will have stoneskin
    /whm is good all around sub
    /nin is situational; really good pre staff for dualwield wands
    /smn is decent 50+ for autorefresh and some more int

    But yea. want to emphasize the "Its situational"

    I've yet to try blm/sch and would be interested to hear some pro/cons about it.

    The only time i've used /sch for any event is for Jailer of love. While a decent sub, it offers almost no survivability. I think and have heard it's a pretty good sub for pudding camp, but i've not tested it myself.

    It's also excellent vs. Ranger Qiqirns. Just stand back from the mob and blaze away at each other until one of you drops.

    as for /nin vr /rdm vr /sch depends on gear and if your able to constantly and reliably (90% or better) 1 shot pets with am /sch is better for mp saved (or casting in 1/2 the time) /nin is more survivability and will beat /rdm at pso'ja and newton camps because there's not enough kiting room. it alos garanteed that you can get 2 nukes before have to recast shadows. That means you can level more effective 2 shoting mobs with more mp effecient spells then trying to 1 shot. /rdm is also nice as well with gravity and fast cast to help. The main idea to soloing fast as a blm is survivability and damage output.
    Just know when to use each sub for the situation and you'll be fine.
    cant kite or reliably 1 shot /nin is best to get 2 hits (pull +2nd nuke) use signet for hhp
    cant 1 shot reliably but can kite /rdm is a option gravity and fast cast helps but your sol if you start getting hit
    you can 1 shot pets reliably (90% or higher) then /sch is best for 1/2 mp cost or 1/2 casting time.

    (ps if you have access to sea use /rdm and spam enfeeble spells with stun and aspir over and over till you caped on goldfish which shouldn't take long)

    I used to enjoy doing campain as blm/nin. I would use a staff with refresh from sigil and refresh from a body along with aspir I would keep my mp up and I would have fun while doing it. You may also want to join windy from the past they got decent blm armor.

    I didn't have rdm as a subjob on my blm till after I was 75 but I soon realized it would have made solo a little easier if I did have it lved. /whm and /nin is nice but sometimes you just need /rdm.
