To all my fellow Sages...

depends on what, if anything, is tweaked from the media tour build.

If they end up changing it so sage at least looks more interestign than it does now on paper, I'll go unlock it and check out how it plays in bozja.

If not, I'll probably jump into the msq straight away on AST, or maybe a DPS/tank, again depending on how things feel when the changes come out.

Brilliant. I didn't even consider the Trust angle. This is a good way to test your abilities and develop muscle memory with your hot bars.

Dungeons will likely be better if you can maintain quick queues or have a premade. Definitely check PF as people may be advertising to dungeon spam.

For my own preparations since a friend and I are leveling Sage and Reaper together. We're going to...

- Complete two Wondrous Tales' books to immediately hit 71
- Have several EXP boosters rolling (FC buffs, earrings, food)
- Will have Challenge logs prepped just before maintenance

We're even going an extra step and farming some 75-79 gear on DRG/Healer just to speed things up some. You won't need a lot as the Scaven gear can carry you all the way to 80 but getting some will make the spamming go faster.

Dungeon ques for healer are gonna be clogged up like DPS it would be faster but only with a premade

Healer will never be clogged friend.

From a strict mettle and EXP standpoint CE's and Dalriada simply aren't worth it.

Ask yourself, in the time that CE starts (with it's 2 min timer before you can even engage) battle ensues to completion, could you do 3 skirmishes. If so, that CE was an inefficient use of your time.

And that's assuming people don't wipe. *lookin' at you red chocobro*

SCH has become unfun and boring. I'll likely try the Sage, but if it's more of the same I'll either quit and play another game or move to a dps.

First job to max will be SMN, and SCH is part of the package. I hope I can get SGE to 90 with the MSQ, too, but even if not, it's not going to be a big problem.

Personally, I doubt that there will be healer queues. Healers are in demand, because nobody wants to play the role. Most new Sages will be healer players, and those who aren't won't last long.

Or that damn Alte Roit clone.

Prolly main story with War, side quest/roulette/beast Sge after and then whenever the new DD or Eureka zone drops ill level everything else.
