Kinda New...Returning Player

[Enkidoh]

Welcome back to Eorzea Angelic! Nice to meet you too!

Unfortunately I play on another server (Ridill, a JP Legacy server), so I think a better choice for you would be to check the forum for your current server (found here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...al%28LEGACY%29 ) as I'm sure there's plenty of FCs and linkshells on Durandal open to new members. However you're more than welcome also to transfer to Ridill if you would like and join the small FC I co-own with my partner too. But as we're on a Japanese server the time zone might be really problematic for you. But the offer is there.

As for the best class and Job, the way the game is designed you can try all the classes to find one that's right for you (in fact, this is useful as you'll be able to learn abilities to cross class that way) - your current class ACN is a damage dealer and very useful as not only does it have a pet that can fight for you, it's also the only class that gets two Jobs to upgrade to instead of one (SMN and SCH), which are both different in play style.

So continuing as ACN will be a good choice (taking time to also learn CNJ and THM at least some of the way would also be a good idea, as they both have spells and abilities that can be used by ACN, SMN and SCH and will help you out enormously in the long run).
