Monk since the beginning!

Actually, I was going to go for a tank as I was a career tank before, but I wanted a change. With that settled, I was originally gunning for dragoon since I RP'd a polearm-using ranger in other games, but I also traditionally like martial arts. Between trying lancer and pugilist, I ended up with pugilist for the strangest of reasons that aren't class related: Thanalan. Thanalan is a desert, but it still has a vibrant design to it.

As far as gameplay: I like punching and kicking things, I like having a shorter GCD thanks to greased lightning since I hate the default 2.5 second GCD, and with current balance hitting like a truck is a nice perk. Though I leveled various jobs and most are good fun, monk is still my true love. I also keep a tank class to be my main secondary job.
