I'm getting the impression that the new healer will be a bit of a hybrid between scholar and WHM aside from the random card buff system... thing. Honestly, I enjoy playing just a straight-up healer with no special gimmicks, so I think I'll stick with WHM.
I'm definitely sticking with my main as smn/blm. I really like what they are doing to those 2 jobs. Doesn't mean I won't try the new jobs. Just I've tried to change my main before and I seem to keep coming back to it.
been DRG this whole time, but i think i'm going to do DRK to start tanking. I've been leveling Warrior and Paladin on the side to build up a good library of cross-skills.
Leaving BLM for AST. I don't realy like current jobs, I just went BLM because that's the one I hate the less lol. I usually love bards but there is none in FFXIV, there's just an archer playing some lame 0.5 seconds music. So I was waiting for a card job ( or a geomancer or a gambler ). Hope it won't be one more disappointment :)
I switched to Ninja main when it came out because it seemed more interesting than Dragoon. Now that Dragoon is finally getting a 4th combo finisher, I will be switching back. Back in 1.0, Dragoon was FFXIV's version of FFXI's Samurai in my eyes and it should have had longer combos from the beginning.
I am really impressed with the added complexity to all the jobs. They didn't just say "Here, take this new, flashy move that does more damage." I know I don't have hands on experience yet, but the descriptions make me think they will change the way most of the jobs play in dynamic ways.
I've been playing around with the idea of bouncing between AST and SCH for mains with SMN/MCN secondary but I need to see all of them at work and see if AST gets mega heavy pressure for being a buffer or not before I decide anything official. Also the reload thing on MCN worries me a little but if it's like Aetherflow where you get a stack a minute and there isnt like 30 skills that require bullets Id be fine with it.
I came back spefically for DRK...and cause I never meant to leave to begin with but yeah I remembered how natural blm feels to me. I love the class and the amount of theorycrafting I put into everything about BLM along with what I've learned about the class is no joke so at this time I'm second guessing my decision to play DRK. The only thing that can completely sway me to DRK at this point is whether they'll be completely destructive in pvp or not and whether I will enjoy them while I level mine.
If yes to the above 2 then DRK it is
I originally was quite appalled by the whole Enochian system and was going to change, but I'm holding opinions until they release before I make my decision to swap to another, unknown job atm.
Hmmmm. So far it looks like there's a pretty even spread of interest among all the new jobs, as well as lots of people staying loyal to their current one, which makes me happy to see.
It might be a bit selfish of me, but I kind of hope Astrologian has a high skill floor so that it's a.) more interesting to me than it already is, and b.) so that it's not overplayed. >__> Right now it seems to be the most popular of the three new jobs, though I admit that the forums aren't the be-all end-all of player preference.
Might swap from bard to summoner or machinist, and dabble in healing with white mage. Astrologian doesn't interest me very much and tanking I haven't yet tried.
