How did you settle on your main?

[Freyyy]

Well I always main tank classes in MMOs, with generally a melee DPS as an alt character (or dual-spec like in WoW, where I played prot/ret Pally) which I always consider very close to being my main too. In FFXIV, I started as a Marauder, but at level 15 I decided to level Gladiator too just to try them both in the first dungeon. I ended up seeing no difference (they play almost the exact same way at level 15), so I levelled Gladiator first to 50 because for some reason it had more XP than my Marauder. Mained Paladin until I finished levelling my Warrior some weeks after, and after that I didn't want to play PLD anymore. My starting class was the best choice hehe. I first levelled DRG as my secondary job, but then I levelled MNK and fell in love with it. So for almost the entirety of 2.X I've been maining WAR and MNK, but I've been forced to play PLD in SCoB for quite some time for an old static, so I did all coils with both tanks and MNK back in the days. In 3.0, I directly decided to level DRK first, because I was waiting for this job since I started the game (big fan of the job in FFIII DS and FFIV, DRK Cecil is the best Cecil). I ended up very enjoying the gameplay, very fast-paced, a lot of oGCDs, very very very fun and still not tired of it. I've made it my new main and I play it in Alex Savage. I also have PLD and WAR at 60, I still enjoy the hell out of WAR and it's still my first long-time main job in my heart, and I still play it very frequently outside of Savage (I also played it in A1S and A2S tho). PLD is useless right now but a bit more fun to play than at 50. I also have my MNK at 60 and I'm still having a blast with it. Best DPS job ever.
