    I need help, i love these classes....

    I have a level 40 WHM and a level 40 Monk. After reading a few dozen post, i can only really choose one as my main.

    I love the WHM, but i have noticed SO MANY of them. For the past week in every fate group there has been at least 3 WHM. On the other hand i love my monk, but as DPS you're a dime a dozen.

    Basically i want a job that ill be sought out for.

    So for the people in end game, is there an abundance of WHM's?

    And are Monk's useless for end game? Do they have trouble finding a group?

    I'm on Leviathan the NA one.

    I thank everyone in advance for there help. thank you all

    In the end what one would you choose?

    WHM is more useful at endgame. Pretty much required for the harder raids over SCH. Melee DPS on the other hand aren't guaranteed a slot in things like coil.

    My group prefers a WHM and SCH combo.

    @ OP: If at all possible, go with both.

    Going tank or healer as your first lvl 50 will have the great advantage of going with instant queues in DF.
    Actually the game DF queue is far from being optimized and has tons of issues making DD's long queues very very annoying:
    - when queue pops you have very limited time to accept, so you have to cancel whatever you're doing, switch back to the right job and accept in a very short delay
    - you cannot group to do other stuff while you wait, for example for FATE, or to train your chocobo
    - you cannot AFK for any reason even for 2 minutes, while the queue might be over 30 mins

    For these reasons only, if I were to hesitate between monk and white mage as my first job, I'd take white mage.

    Sure, nothing wrong with that. I was just saying that in general WHM is more desired than SCH, and monk for that matter, which is pretty accurate.

    Whm is one of those jobs that is very needed for end game, monk not so much, but it really depends on what your group needs.

    you will need to play more than 1 job anyway, there are pt need DD other PT need healer or tank, if you have 2/3 then the chance you get into a pt is high.

    I wouldn't use the population of fate farming groups to base an overall WHM count from. I'm sure many of them would not be as good as you or anyone else that dedicates time and effort to actually learn the mechanics as they level.

    I would honestly say go for WHM, since while healers may be 'abundant', good healers are not.
