Dancer Job

[Eardstapa]

XI is a great game, one of my favorite FFs. And by Abyssea "breaking" XI I mean they made it so easy to level it wasn't even funny. Some people could get 30-99 in a day on a job by leeching an aby exp alliance (assuming they already had the limit breaks done). Didn't break the story or anything =p

I can't really speak for the current game, I played a bit after Adoulin came out, but I never got the expansion. All I know is some of those ilvl 119 gears are godly in comparison to the level 99 stuff lol. I still assume NIN/DNC and RDM/NIN are still the best solos out there for the hard stuff, but so much stuff is solo or duo-able now from what I heard so I wouldn't doubt if WAR/DNC is amazing solo now, they do a ton of damage and are tanky (they were the original tank before PLD after all).

There are still some of us out there that refuse the Abyssea path... I am running a new character without touching it and having a blast.

Refusing the Aby path is a lot easier now, but I took the Aby path from from 75 to 99 on my main jobs (DNC and RDM, didn't burn them up immediately though, I hated grinding aby). Didn't want to put in the effort of traditional EXPing to 99 for that lol. Took waaaaay too long.

Hope you don't get burned out grinding on those grounds tome pages (or potential Adoulin leveling mechanic I don't know about)! Haha. I ran my mule up to 60 on RDM after they put those grounds tomes =p No subjob! Took forever xD

I am actually avoiding the Eminence and Tomes as much as possible... Gotta keep those combat skills capped

But as I said on the first page of this thread, if Dancer was made a healer in this game... I would play nothing else until Samurai was released.

Well... Hate to say it, but Records of Eminence is now a shortcut for capping skills, too. XD All my skills were already capped by the time this was introduced, but RoE points can be spent on "books" which, if used, give you a guaranteed 0.1 (sometimes more) skillup on the associated skill. The books are pretty cheap, too; it's not at all rare to see someone buy and use dozens of books in one sitting.
