How many only main one job?

[The_Shang]

I main Bard, but I'm planning on getting Machinist to 60 as well, because I love the gear sharing between the 2.

I've also got a lvl60 Scholar/Summoner and Dark Knight, but I stopped gearing them after I got them their ilvl200 eso gear, as it's too hard to manage for me (also, I don't like tanking/healing the current endgame content).

I main Bard, but I had all classes to 50 before HW so I'm leveling up all classes too, and all will be at i200 at least once they reach 50. I focus mostly on Bard for Lore, Tanks for Midan/Crafted gear, and ESO for everything else for now. Hoping to get weaver to 3 star so I can craft caster and healing gear i220 gear too.

I've been a WHM main since about two months after ARR launch. I used to play BRD a lot too, so I guess you could've said I had two mains. But 3.0 killed bard for me. Although I have every job to 60 except MCH and DRK, WHM is the only one I play at 60.

I know what most think the term "main job" means, but my definition is probably different. Right now, I am actively gearing 13 jobs for end game content. 8 DoH, 3 DoL, BRD and PLD. Plus an alt.

I "main" Astrologian but only in the sense that I'm spending all my tomes on healer gear. I tend to play different jobs based on the situation.

Maining is great because it's nice to know a class inside and out and pushing it to it's limit. It's nice to have something to focus on when getting gear, but the best part of having a main is the more you use it, the better you'll get with it.

The downside of using one class alot is when you try to use Huton on a Paladin.

There's nothing wrong with maining one job but also there's nothing wrong with not having a main declared. You can learn a job inside and out by just playing the game for hundreds of hours as well so maining one isn't necessarily a requirement for that. The issue with not having a main is deciding what 1 job to allocate all your tomes towards because you only really have enough time between patches to gear 1 job up fully with the latest tome gear and usually a 2nd job is nearly completed by the time a new set of gear rolls out.

Ever since they changed Bard in 3.0, I slowly stopped playing it. Now I mostly just play WHM. To be honest, the changes to Bard have slowly killed XIV for me and I'll probably end up taking a break soon unless some new story content arrives.

Why does one class getting changed kill the game for you?, i don't understand this.

Been maining bard since 2.0 pretty much. Still find it perplexing that people ward off their lore progression by buying for more than one job.

I main Black Mage, but I really should get around to leveling something else.

I main white mage, and it's what I play probably 90% of the time. I do like to keep all of the healing jobs geared though, and thankfully this has become easier this patch with shared lore gear. I also try to keep one dps job geared, but I can never settle on which one, and I never end up playing it anyway because I just prefer to heal.
