Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions - Day 2

I'm still grinding out levels on my characters. It really bugs me sometimes how much JP (job points) it costs to just learn 1 spell, or one ability. At least I got to a point in the game where I was easily set up to just grind multiple levels in just one fight.

I had a white mage, black mage, monk (main character), and an archer stand all in a T where it looked like this:

A M B
--W--

I had my black mage cast damage spells on the monk, which would hit everyone, then my white mage would cast protective spells on the party (protect, shell, etc), my archer would use potions on herself, and my monk would use chakra to heal everyone and give the mages back their MP

The poor "monster" that I had left alive at the time, a chocobo. I had a thief just harass it, stealing from it and occasionally attacking it. I left it blind, and when it would heal, it would be standing near my thief, so she would be healed too.

I used that to get a lot of XP and JP. Though, it does get boring after a while. And my black mage doesn't even have JP boost, so it makes it tougher to make it effective. I almost want to throw in a squire for my next few battles just so I can use them to earn it.
