I am thinking I might actually level more jobs. Even jobs I dont like much just to have done it.

I was in the middle of leveling RNG when the Official server message popped up on screen. I hit level 9. ;P
I've been leveling mage jobs for so long i needed a new experience, WAR is boring for me NIN is super expensive, everyone is a MNK, I don't like DRK, COR would beak me, BLU is another Mage job but it confuses me a little and its underrated in abyssea, I've seen them only used to proc. RNG sounds interesting though a bit expensive i am sure I can take my crafting and a friend's crafting to make bullets for me/

Nah, when the game is back up I'll still be going towards atma of the savior. I am still glad during that week I was off from school I brought the rest of my jobs to 75+ Now I have nothing below lvl 75. The only thing that might change is once I know when the update is coming then I'll probably start preparing for it by getting things I feel I need to be done before the update.

If we are down much longer I will probably try to plan out a newer macro system. Mine are getting a bit threadbare to say the least.

When they come back up, I'll go back to meriting DNC.

Atma of the Savior is very appealing to me as well. I am not that good at soloing so I have been putting it off. Also need to get my guild sign so I can get my crafting atma.

No it hasn't, per se, or at least not until they confirmed that this is going to be treated like an extended server maintenance. Been working towards a few empyreans for people and whenever the servers are back up i'll be re-energized to start going at it full-force again. can't wait

WAR and DRK is awesome but we're established that we hate each others' choice jobs in another thread lol.
On topic, though, I'm in the middle of LVing my DRG. I still need to finish my DRK to 90, but I'm kind of waiting for a better solution to skill up scythe and great sword. In the meantime, I have polearm capped on DRG for another 20 levels or so (thanks to my omnipotent WAR :D). Soloing DRG is really fun...it strangely relaxes me :o

I found monk to be very relaxing. My son had made a mithra to show me how to make characters so I made her monk. It has always been so relaxing to go hit things after stressing out playing whm.

Yes it is!! Sometimes I wonder why it is by far my favorite job. Of course the macros I need to work on are whms. So much to learn about whm even after six years.

The role of WHM has warped a little bit. I remember balancing cures 2 and 3 not to get any hate, to avoid Cure IV, and then just casting it...Regens galore, and now Abyssea has turned WHMs into mindless curing idiots...

lol oddly enough I was thinking the other day that with all the atmas and endless mp that I tend to attract too much attention from mobs. Was thinking that with Abyssea maybe I needed to start thinking more about being careful with my hate control. Of course with auto raise it doesnt put me out of play to die in abyssea.
And rethinking how to play whm is one thing I want to work on when the game goes back up.

I need to finish at least 4 more mega bosses. I need 3 atmas active in my life.
