How many only main one job?

[Jim_Berry]

*UPDATE*

I started the game during beta phase in 2013 as a CNJ. By end of October, I had become BRD as I thought it was going to be huge on support like the FFXI's version. I bounced between WHM and BRD until I ended up being a BRD main. However, since I was a NIN as a tank in FFXI, I became a ROG/NIN when it released in this game.

Moving forward, while I'm still officially a NIN sitting at iLv223, I have never been dps-savvy in MMOs; mostly support, tank, healer, in no particular order. That said, I am now shying away from NIN to focus tanking. While I have been rolling/gearing PLD, I now found DRK is more my speed with it's crowd control, enmity generation abilities, and it's aggressive style of play.

My DRK has not broke high dps numbers, but I'm taking baby steps to fully learn the job before I'm 100% comfortable with pushing dps. My struggle with DRK was with being main tank on Sephirot, in regards to me dying to the fourth tank buster in phase 1. Now that I have that under control as of last night, I'm pushing to gear DRK, who's currently at iLv214. I had PLD/DRK as raid while NIN was everything else, but to get better at a job, I need to be on it more, so I'll be on DRK a bit longer.

So, while NIN is considered my main, it may end up becoming my alt while DRK become my main. I recently joined a static group (finally) who wanted me as tank (PLD preferred), but I've been going as DRK. And since they're ok with me being DRK, coupled with me wanting to play DRK anyway, it may become my main.

When I am ready for a static, I will main WHM but outside, I play every healing jobs depending on my mood, and dungeons. I SCH when its roulette level 50 and leveling. Trials is WHM and 60 plus expert I go AST. I dont really have a main healer outside raid but right now I focus on WHM since I plan to go in a static with that class.

Single job focus only really matters for raiding.

I main only BLM, would love to swap to MNK or something completely different sometimes (for raid static) but it's not worth it.... due to all that caps (like tomes). Gear is just way too bad.

I actually consider to make a real twink, so i can equip it with proper gear and have a useful alt. Sadly, you can not friend&mail alts.

the token system so far try to force us to main, but actually i'm kinda sure most of the player don't only play one jobs, for make simple they try to go against what we do. *shrugs*

I'm one who usually mains one job, but also mains one class in general: since I'm a solo player, being a tank gives me the fastest of queues in basically everything except raiding (which I don't do). Even healers are slower in queue than tanks. But if I had to pick a tank, it's warrior.

If I had more reasons to play more jobs I'd definitely take it, but I generaly play them to avoid monotony and even then I have to take on 15+ minutes of queue. Definitely not worth the wait.

I have two mains, AST and BRD. I keep my AST higher than BRD and gear it first for raiding and then mostly play BRD for casual dungeons. I only really do this so I don't get bored of the same class

An LS mate was having trouble with keeping BotD up as well. He was losing it because he kept trying to get the positionals for the other attacks. They told him that if he absolutely cannot get the positional, just use the attack anyway.
NIN plays faster than DRG, though, so I'm not sure if that'll work for you in the long run.

I had everything at max level until Heavensward, but I almost never used some of them, like Black Mage for instance.

Therefore, I intend to at last keep a tank (Paladin), DPS (Dragoon) and healer (White Mage) "up-to-date", meaning AT LEAST up from current non-capped tome gear to be able to use whatever my roulette and/or FC mates need at the moment.

Seeing as I do anything but Savage raiding, that's perfectly fine. As others have said, being able to play different roles isn't a liability, it's an advantage.
