Additionally, the point of the post was to show that burning is nothing new. The difference being you are uncapped to do it. Next time take a few moments to understand the point and direction of the post rather than assuming what you think it means, ok?

sorry, i'll rephrase it so it won't be interpreted as a personal attack.

"It's possible to skill up while being burned.
In fact, there are usually ppl who spam spells and skill up while burning.
Suck less."

Yeah ..... burn baby burn.

We'll know the "Job Mechanics" about two weeks after it's release. We'll know finer detail of those mechanics / abilities within a few weeks after that. Every inch of both Geo and RNK(RNF / whatever) will be tested and retested using established methods to figure out what effects what. We'll take one look over what gear it appears on, determine the best TP setup, and the best WS setup.

It's FFXI not WoW. SE doesn't radically change game mechanics every year. GEO will be the most complicated of the two due to having to deal with the damn direction BS, we'll figure out the best buffs and that will be that. Now six months to a year later when SE finally gets around to fixing whatever is broke with those jobs upon release. Not sure what Geo's skills will be so SJ is hard to determine, most likely /SCH or /RDM. RNK will be easy, its /SAM or /WAR using resolution.

I agree that learning the game mechanics of a job can be done as you level, or you can just start learning at 99. Either works.

I wasnt asking from an ethical or moral perspective.. more from a "would be nice to do some normal xp pts when the job comes out and curious if anyone else feels the same".. if my OP sounded different to that, I apologise

I know this is from way in the front page, but this is just hilarious. "The only way to know how to play a party-based class is to play it by yourself!"

Sounds like you need to take your own advice on reading, interpretation, and rephrasing skills.

Hurts my eyes. I think you meant 'advice'.

You didn't try hard enough. Cape and then Valley, or that back corner of Mis if you were desperate.

Why campaign? I can just burn it to 99 after 65. With leveling it the regular way just to enjoy the experience of old school leveling, and having leveled other jobs similar to it, im not really missing out on anything but getting it to 99 quicker at that point.
