How often do you change jobs when you play?

Yes. The story is too long, and isn't that good, to realistically justify playing through it again for a lot of people.

I'm a Reaper main now. Other jobs are for the achievements and bicolor gemstones.

I've never been a one-job player. I've been a WHM main for almost 8 years and until DNC came along I was a BRD secondary for that same time. Now I'm a WHM main and DNC/BRD secondary.

I had some classes I didn't level until I wanted the amaro for all 80s. Now I keep them leveled because I found I enjoy quite a few of them. So while I'm working on leveling, I'll focus my roulettes around that class, and then once they're max, I'll swap around for roulettes depending on what role I feel like doing.

For SAM and (I'm assuming) RDM and others that don't start at 1, you can take them into low level dungeons to focus on how the skills behave at lower levels. Or you can take them into POTD 1-50 and see how the skills unlock and how things build on each other.

Oh, and since character alts came up, all my character slots are filled. I love alts. My main is the only one I found a RP reason to be all classes. The rest specialize.

My 1st goal is to get tank healer and DPS levels normally it was WAR WHM BRD now it's WAR WHM DNC. But then I play all 3 just as well and can do any content I try as any one of the three. So it depends on the roll bonus or how I'm feeling.

The confusion is the question asks if you play other CLASSES/JOBS, whereas Jkap commented that they don’t play ALTs.

Obviously I don’t know who is thinking what, but there could be a misunderstanding about the question (alts =/= jobs), or that it is possible to have multiple jobs on a single character.

However, since Jkap’s been playing since 2016, I think rather they are just responding to conversation above their comment where people talk about having multiple characters (for raiding etc), and not really commenting on the OP question.

hence my following comments xD
I did try and clarify that OP was probably talking about alt-job instead of alt-alt
eh *shrug*

I switch jobs when I get bored. It helps stave off burnout. Started as an archer, mained ARC/BRD through Stormblood, then switched to red mage. I tend to level DRK first just to get those fast queues while doing the MSQ, then go back to DPS after.

When I arrive in a new zone as DPS, I'll switch to BOT and MIN for a moment to see if there are any special nodes up. I only have NIN and the crafting and gathering jobs, nothing else.

Yeah- I was following you both, but I wasn't sure they understood your question with "yeah and I said I don't have an my alts and stated my response". Who knows!

I'm the exact same. While I'm a healer at heart, sometimes I just want to kick some butt. For those moods, I pull out red mage, blue mage, or reaper.

Other times, I miss my times tanking in WoW and hop on gunbreaker.
