Subjective Analysis

The Calculator is a very unusual class but a very powerful one, despite their HP deficiency and atrocious speed. Calculators use different parameters to cast spells. For example, if you choose Exp and 5 for a Cure calculation, Cure will be cast on any character, enemy or ally, that has experience that is a multiple of 5, like 5, 10, 15, etc. It is possible to hit multiple enemies with powerful spells that require no MP or charging. With the right calculation, a good spell library, and patience, the Calculator's math skills can become far and away the best ability set in the game - but this is not a job class for the impatient.

For a Calculator to be truly useful, one must learn every Action Ability they possess, plain and simple. And that's going to take a while, as earning JP as a Calculator can be frustrating. As for their other abilities, Gained Exp Up is the only truly useful one, but it can be pretty great.
