So there's only 5 jobs that work now?

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Or, just level every job. It would take what, 1.5 weeks?

It depends on how good you are at getting to 30, but 30-90 should only take about 5 hours.

The rest of you can keep your head in the clouds, but how many times have you sent a tell to a PUG saying "HI Please invite me. <job>=90SMN/45RDM," and gotten turned away?

I'm being realistic.

You are being realistic.

It's why I am working on my whm



That said, a lot can be done in unconventional groups with friends. Will it be a perfect set up? Nope. Is it easier to do it the conventional way? Yes.

But BST BST BLM can take down a lot of seal nms (and get procs)

/shrugs

SMN BST BLM would probably be even better with SMN's native MP pool they could use for healing (and I am sure they benefit more from the INT boost on MM than a BST/WHM does...)

But yeah, I've gotten enough rejection as a BST to realize that most players just want to do everything the easy (boring) way.

For a lot of mobs, I can't blame them. But, I have to say, I am happy to have friends I can play with on the jobs we love.

A lot of Abyssea content (Seal farms, etc) can be done with unconventional setups. That's fine, if that's your goal.

I'm talking on higher end Abyssea content, Heroes +2 NMs, EFFICIENT Empyrean Weapon farming.

If you have a LS at your disposal, you can bring 18 people to do stuff for you. If not, then you're probably going to want to do things THE BEST way.

[Alhanelem]

I'm being realistic. That's the way the game has always been. "Our LS is only looking for RDM" "Our LS is only looking for TH4 THF" sound familiar? Probably because it's what you heard for the 5 years before Abyssea.

The thing is, this is a problem. Every job should be able to be worth enough that an LS could be seen asking for it. Otherwise, there's not a lot of point in those unpicked jobs existing.

I'm not saying it's not. I'm just putting it how it is.

[Kimble]

Having every job have a purpose and use in every single event only makes sense if FFXI didnt allow you to freely change your jobs at no cost. They didnt design the game with it in mind that players will get attracted to one job and one job only.

Well X job might not be good in Y event, X job can be good in Z event.

It's still balance problems, at the moment there are jobs (HI PUP) that are pretty useless in every situation party-wise

You mean soloing gold on thf?

Voidwatch.

[Leonlionheart]

Voidwatch.

I'd rather fill the slot with something else.
