I just hit lvl 50 as a Monk about a week ago, and have been accruing a small bit of Mythology since then (haven't been able to play every day). For some reason, I wound up really enjoying the Monk, even though I had always planned to level up either a Paladin, or possibly a Warrior, since I figure Tanks are always in high demand, and playing a Healer doesn't seem like it would be easy on a controller.

But now, I also have another option; just start hoarding Mythology, in preparation for the upcoming Ninja job.

On one side of things, I've actually wound up enjoying the Monk, and since it seems like a fairly uncommon Job, perhaps I'm best just getting myself Raid-ready, and just enjoy having a level 50 to play with my FC.

On another side of things, if I got to work on a Paladin, I could probably get myself in a good position so that when there *is* a massive influx of Ninjas all over the place, I could skate my way into a regular Raid-spot.

On the final side, I'm basically "behind the curve" from everyone else. The Ninja, on the other hand, is a chance to level the playing-field, in such a way that I'm no worse-geared than any other Ninja running around (barring those in high-end FC's that can gear each other up quickly).

Anyone mind lending your own insight?
