    Brd, BLM, or MCH

    I am currently trying to decide who my main shall be. I have MCH and BLM at 60 while BRD is only 55(will be 60 this weekend)

    BLM
    Pros-I like it's damage output and combat effects.
    Cons-I hate maintaining enochian. Pain in the arse.

    MCH
    Pros-Good concept and decent damage numbers.
    Cons- The RNG of 1,2,3 and can get bland at times with combat animations

    Bard
    Pros-I love the hat and bow aesthetics. Decent damage
    Cons-Hard for me to think of some since WM doesn't bug me.

    Help me decide please.

    Well if I were you, I would main a bard since you like the aesthetics of it and you do not find that many cons in the job. Plus, you already have a MCH to 60 so they can share gear

    Since BLM's top dps requires juggling Enochian and you don't like that, I say don't play as a BLM or, at the most, play it when you don't want to play as BRD/MCH

    Well, most of the gear can be shared. Just gets dicey with Eso stuff. As for BLM, part of me wants to get good and master it since I do find find it such a pain in the arse at times. I can almost 100% keep it up. I just loose track of AF3 due to dodging.

    Go bard, hopefully we ll see some QoL improvements eventually to streamline the WM kit, but if the current BRD doesn't bother you it can perform even better than before when played right.

    There's not much to say, since you have a job listed with no cons lol. I can back you up and tell you that wanderer's minuet isn't the terrible thing that people make it out to be, in fact I find the bard rotation funner than it was in 2.X.

    I recently chose BLM as my alt, partly because I like a challenge, and because so many people hate WM that I feel like enochian can't be so bad.

    Depends on how many items you can track at once while dodging. lolz

    I main Bard and love it...everything about it...I like the gear the look the play-style. I would recommend it to anyone. You ultimately have to have fun with what you are playing though so I would pick for yourself and not what "others" think...you will be much more happy.

    It's easier at times to say it out loud even when you know the answer. At least for that is.
