Level both, you wont regret it. If you're still bored, level archer. BLM and MNK both may cross class skills from archer.
TBH level everything. Theyre all connected, there is really no way around it imho. -
08-05-2012, 02:06 AMMadroxI think he is referring to the fact that most groups (PUG) see mnk as useless and tend to be left out of parties..Quote:

It's not your job, too many people just PL through those levels, those that think monk is useless in pug exp parties are brainless sheep.

To put it simply,
You won't go very far with great gear and no skill
You won't go very far with bad gear and tons of skill.
That is why I said both gearing right and knowing what they are doing. -
08-05-2012, 04:12 AMindirayeah i understand, but this aint other mmo's gear does not = greatness. this aint your wow or other super multiplied stat game where you gear determines the win.Quote:
You must have misunderstood me or don't understand..
dont know what game you been playing but the dps is on the weapons and your damage changes very little no matter what you have in your slots. noobs = fail no matter what you can have every great piece of equip. a skilled person knows what there doing and will win. -

You'll want both! Endgame wise, BLM will have more uses. But, a lot of things people stack MNK as well. It's always nice to be flexible and change when it's best needed for the party.
Fun wise, I prefer monk. -
08-05-2012, 03:31 PMTaalAzuraThis is very wrong for endgame content.Quote:

I have a guy in my linkshell who BUY hamlet runs to solo-lot seals, and he plan to pay even for garuda and ifrit extreme. Sure he'll have a relic, but how possibly is that a good player, if he don't even play content ?Quote:

maybe he makes gil easily, and prefers to play solo instead of playing in a linkshell
-
08-05-2012, 07:34 PMyukikaze_yanagiHe made tons of gil at beginning of game, where crafting was busted and you gained gil doing nothing. But the problem isn't the gils, he pay to have all immediatly without any personal effort. Since he's a poor player (i've played with him some times, and he did shit) a buyed relic not gonna change the fact he play poorlyQuote:

Who cares? It's his game, his time, his gil, and his monthly payment. What the fuck does it matter what kind of pixels someone else has? lol

If that same dragoon geared up properly and tried to at least hit his stat caps for str and piety then could do a maximum of 3200 damage in a hit 144,000 damage in the same fight. This is just basic to get you an idea.
The weapons and equipment you choose make a difference by giving the potential for much higher numbers, you can only go so far with skill on DD classes.
If you don't know wtf you are doing then it doesn't matter lol.. of course skill is important, as that's already been said. It is pretty ignorant to say all that matters is armor around your level and ps doesn't do anything for you. ;_;
