So how many jobs do you play regularly?

[AzraelX]

Just curious how many jobs do you play regularly? Is it just you’re main job or many others? Currently I play as the DRG & NIN- leveling up MNK atm. It’s a lot of work to play more than one job simultaneously versus just one main. With the lv. 50-60 taking as much time as 1-50 leveling, I’m considering having one main and level the rest later. So how do you guys play?

I have 4 lvl 50 jobs, and try to play 3 of them.

PLD main and is for progression / great for cue times.
DRG (was main) now for when I'm feeling lazy and just wanna stab stuff.
BLM is a newer 50 and keeps me actively doing things like Towers.

WAR has taken a back seat to PLD so I don't really play it often... and once DRK arrives I imagine it will replace Paladin. We'll see!

It's only gonna take that long going through all of the story quest stuff, I'd guess. Just leveling another job 50-60 through fates and dungeons afterward shouldn't be that bad. Otherwise, I don't think I'll be getting all of my jobs from 50-60.

As for me, I don't really have a main job. I go through phases where I really like doing a certain job and play it a lot, but that job changes pretty frequently. It's unfortunate that this game punishes you so much for having alts or wanting to play multiple jobs, though. Sometimes I can't get myself to play one of my lesser geared dps because I feel bad for holding a group back when I have two damage dealers with zeta. Regardless, on this character I spend most time on ninja, black mage or scholar, and my alt is mostly dragoon and white mage. Those are probably going to change with 3.0 and new jobs, though!

I have all jobs leveled up. While I play some jobs more than others, I still end up playing all of them at least once in a month.

When it comes to preference, I'd say:
Ranged DPSes (BRD>BLM>SMN)
then Healers (WHM>SCH)
then Melee DPS (NIN > DRG> MNK)
Tanks

When 3.0 release I'll main SMN, but will use SCH to queue/level faster

I'll then level up the remain DPS while AST/DRK are still a new thing

From most often to least:

WAR
MNK
DRG
PLD

Well I love NINJA- and play it the most hes my highest with ivl 114 Avg. But NIN will be the last job I level to 60 due to NIN having the least amount of changes. DRG changes sound awesome and will level that to level 60 1st. Then I may level DRK to level 60 next depending on how much I love DRK and tanking- tank virgin here-kinda scared cuz tanking bosses is not the same as dpsing them.

It seems most people have jobs from all three roles. IMO none of the healer jobs feel masculine enough for my main character.

all leveled, 4-5 used regularly

I normally run stuff with someone who only heals, so in 4-person content I'll go as SMN or BRD. I only use BLM when I know we need burst damage and I don't want to rely on the other dps. In 8+ person content I'll usually go as WHM or SCH depending on the day. Planning to add both Machinist and Astrologian to that list.
I only use my tanks in the lower level content if someone needs help clearing and I haven't touched the melee dps after getting their relics.

My main strategy for leveling/new releases is that SMN gets everything first. Then I outfit the healers from group content (WoD et al) and outfit BRD with tomestone gear. The other classes get whatever else happens to drop from non-loot restricted drops.

Glad someone loves SMN and maining it.

So for my female alt i am leveling an alt but won't level it to 60 til they get their promised summer glamour system.
After reviewing SMN changes I lvoe how they have three modes to do damage- summon, aether flow/doTs, Trance powers- SMN definitely seems like its alot of tactical planning which fits its lore perfectly being a key strategist class. I think one they get their pet glamours- SMNs will be one of the best jobs- hands down.
