Cross-class leveling is BORING and a BUZZ-KILL

[Marael]

I guess what I'd like to know is how ESSENTIAL is it that I level up a LANCER at these early stages of "end game"?

I literally just hit 50 today and did the two dungeons you do on the main scenario. Once the credits ran, all I've done is started leveling this Lancer...

Invigorate is hugely useful. (instant 400 TP returned) I use it ALL THE TIME on Bard, even with TP song up, spamming AoEs on large pulls sometimes drains your TP down to zero without it, and on longer harder (giggity) fights it's nice to have to keep yourself from bottoming out. Blood for Blood is pretty useful too, when used as a cross class ability you only get a 10% dmg increase from it rather than the 20% that lancer gets, but hey, 10% is more than 0% and in fights where you need tons of burst damage at certain times, it does help to have, plus it has a relatively short recast timer.

As for the leveling part, just go do all of your hunting log up as far as you can, and do your guildhests/guildhest roulettes. They changed it so that you get the first time bonus on guildhest xp/gil for each class you do it on. And that should hopefully put you close-ish to level 15 when you can a.) start running dungeons again for xp and b.) start running low level roulette for the big xp bonus each day. Also, you get a +50% xp bonus for having another class leveled higher than that one. You'll be up to 34 in no time. I know it sucks when all you wanna do is play the job you leveled up to 50, but you do improve yourself in some very useful ways by getting lancer up to 34.

It would be if leveling classes in this game is slow. Even without trying, the xp boost from food, fc buffs, roulletes, fates, leves plus the the new weekly achievements challenges are far too generous already. Hang on, you might actually like playing other classes.

I kinda have to agree with him. Leveling a second job is super dull, because there's really no quests.

Its easy and fast to level to 15 with leves (with a high lvl friend its even alot faster.), and then u already can join dungeons.


But yeah.. if u stopped at lvl 8.. just dont do it, its not YOUR thing.

This counters what I said... How?

Dungeons are only fun the first time, maybe two. Especially as a DPS class, you get to wait around for 5-15 minutes between each one, then do Thousand Maws for the 16th time! Woooo!

lolwat who the hell is countering?
Leves are quests by the way.

Also you speak for yourself, on the fun part.

Hopefully u will never find your way to an asian grinder.

Cross class abilities are essential if you don't want to gimp yourself. Ever dealt with a WHM without swift cast?

blood for blood is VERY essential as a bard. aka a must

I'd say Invigorate is the most essential for bard. B4B is a nice optional extra but so far have been without it(getting lnc to 22 was annoying enough). I do use dex pots so that compnesates on some burn phases.

Willing to bet you haven't cleared Turn 8.
