Anshelm tends to have SP issues with his current skillset whenever things get nasty. Something passiveish might work better for his slot.
Alternatively he could grab some kind of ranged attack option like throwing axes or the like so he can pull enemies more effectively.

I want to get Stalwart, but then again Clerics get three Active Skills from the start, Healing, Buff/Debuff, and Talisman. That is going to mess with Alice's current loadout.
We can take off Talisman, since that basically only grants better casting with Healing and Buff/Debuff, while I was only planning to be a secondary Healer.
At four active skills, we'd need healing and buff to benefit from stalwart over hexer. We'd also need to level that job up, despite the fact that the only cleric that's been mentioned fusing to our class (and the only confirmed path to blue) is hexer.
Now, we want ice magic at nearly all times right now (It's our best skill, we don't want to drop our effectiveness). By the time we level dark to C
(remainder of the 30+80=110JP) we'll have Ice Elementalist at B. Ergo we'll probably want to continue raising it or water at least.
We will, however, be ready to swap our job out. So let's say we swap in healing then. Now, by the time we get healing to C (120JP) our cleric class would be at C rank and we'd fuse it away for something new, giving us that job's active skills.
The only way we'll really have time for buffing in the next 2-300JP is if our first green job has something like "You can use all ice magic with this skill"
I can't really imagine backing stalwart over hexer in this case. Sure experimentation is a thing, but stalwart's a starter job. If there was a big fusion with any basic elementalist we'd probably have heard about it. In short, I don't see it having a future, and we wouldn't use it enough to be particularly good there.
Mmm, should have given that Dark or Fire to either Maya or Shimah...
Ninja's readily available in the store. It's easy to get. Likewise Shimah wasn't mentioned as having interest in the fire one. And it definitely helped where we have it and will do so again. Dark, by contrast, fuses with ice, so this is a pretty solid pick for us.
Getting Stalwart to Shimah might be interesting, but she has been talking about getting personal damage up, though she already have some from the Shaman's curses.
She's leveling shaman and hexer and has fusion plans on both. I don't really see the huge appeal given that her time is already taxed.
Maya taking Stalwart... Plausible?
She has Twin Knives, Bows, Stealth, and Taming.
If she drops Twin Knives and Stealth, she can be an off-Healer and Buffer, which also helps her Pet.
...
Our assassin class should drop stealth? Really?
She's a high agility/charisma build. She hasn't had power or con problems. Her will and power have to be junk given the number of stats she has that definitely aren't.
In short, she might work with something like wind that's not very power dependent, but probably won't ever be a viable healer or caster of any kind.
