Whatever the White Mage is combined with should require very little action. The character with the White Mage Job will already be busy with healing and supporting the team with spells like Curaga and Regen, and will have little time to take on a whole other school of magick. Something like Shikari, Bushi, or Uhlan actually makes a lot of sense to pair with. This gives the White Mage the means to do some damage and get back some MP without cutting into other priorities. Archer can also be a very solid choice, since it keeps the White Mage out of harm’s way and gives them that last Swiftness they’re missing. As long as you keep it simple, White Mage is a very easy Job to assign.
Strongly consider making Balthier your White Mage. His suite of stats fits this Job very well. He’s strong enough to do some melee damage, his Magick Power doesn’t matter because of the Mystic Armor and Magick Lores, and he’s poorly suited to most other Jobs. Anybody can make a good White Mage, but the more powerful stat profiles are probably best used elsewhere. Balthier hits just hard enough when needed and can keep the team healed.
