Somewhat new to the game, have a question.

In regards to the above, I can't speak in specific to LNC, because mine's only 15, but I just unlocked BRD yesterday. I had been thinking I would never solo as BRD, that I would always use ARC so that I could cross class skills such as Bloodbath from MRD and Cure from CNJ for survivability. However, the stat boost is so insane that so far I have had no reason to go back to ARC for solo play. I still have Second Wind from PGL (which by the way I have only used once, and probably would have lived even had I not used it). I get +10 DEX, +5 STR and +5 VIT. It's like having one incredibly awesome piece of gear that allows you to still wear an incredibly awesome piece of gear in the same slot. Mobs I was soloing with a little ease before I am completely destroying now. Mobs that were giving me a little trouble before are completely easy. It's like being five levels higher than I actually am. It's awesome. I love it.

Thanks :) makes me exited to get my drg, got a little bit of time to invest though, sounds like I'm going to really enjoy the game :), and I'm seriously considering buying a 180day sub. But what's endgame like, is it hard? Even remotely hard?, and does the game continue to expand all the time?
