Since my SCH is nearly finished leveling to 50 I'm looking at leveling a different role just to try to get the most out of my experience. Having a real issue deciding between BLM and BRD though. I decided I definitely wanted to go with a ranged DPS as I did enjoy DRG, but it always felt a bit off to me, and I simply didn't enjoy MNK rotation in beta.

I have a few things to look at I'm sure but I'm really conflicted. So here's some points I've found, and I'd really appreciate anyone else's input/experiences good or bad.

I already have a ton of dungeon mage gear from leveling Arcanist/SCH, and need to get THM to 26 regardless for Swiftcast, but I'm sure I can find some great reasons for BRD.
