There is nothing I like more from any game that has magic in it than to delve in powers that move the story while staying true to the character I am playing. When I found out while playing that the first job I chose (arcanist > summoner) was that and more, I was hooked. Being able to give some support in the form of a weak heal, virus, battle raise and eye for an eye was a bonus.

I did not know this at the time so I chose the most logical job of the bunch for me, arcanist. Back then I figured since this is an MMO and you start out really, really wimpy, a pet would even the odds a bit. The story, which is played mostly solo, proved my thinking correct in many ways.

Now I am bashing my head against my desk (metaphorically) every day looking for that second job that clicks with my play-style the most.
