Job Level 1?

[Vespar]

This is gonna sound mean, but what kind of idiot would pick up a class with 30 abilities and not go learn how to play it before going to group content?

No offense taken at all, normally I'd share your sentiments, but sadly... it has happened. A lot more than I'd care to admit. In fact this is exactly what happened when folks got a hold of MCH, AST, and DRK. Granted its gotten better since HW's initial launch, but trust me, for a few days to weeks dungeon runs were hell. The only difference now, is they'll be starting at 50 and have even more actions....

And its not just idiots actually, it takes time to learn how to pair actions together in a more productive way. Practice makes perfect, and its generally a lot easier to learn something over time if you break it down into chunks and add-on to what you've learned, rather than handing someone a manual and expecting them to know it all off by heart from front to back after one read. That's where levelling comes in. You start out with a few actions and build your knowledge and skill slowly over time. by the time you reach max level, you should have a pretty darn good idea of what your doing.
