How RDM, got me to appreciate MCH again.

You wrote a nice observation post. I enjoyed reading it.

Isn't funny how we often go in full circles? For me, I started as a white mage but itched to try different things. So, I tried just about all the jobs and came to the conclusion that white mage is my favorite.

Now, don't get me wrong. I still enjoy monks, dragoons, red mages, paladins, etc... I just enjoy healing more and the healer I most like is white mage with scholar a close second.

Maybe I just haven't come full circle yet (hoping for some positive changes in 4.1), but in 3.X I had BLM / PLD / WHM as my mains. Now however...
- After levelling BLM, it just doesn't feel good for me anymore (far too frequently punishing); but I'm loving SAM (kinda the melee version of BLM, but with none of the punishment).
- Similarly with WHM, I enjoyed it's style in 3.X, but always felt bad that it didn't have any utility when raw healing power wasn't require; now leveling AST 60-70, and thanks to the card changes and Earthly Start, I'm loving it as well.
- PLD is still good, but feels a bit bloated with all too similar, but slightly different, attack abilities, and the guage is nothing but tacked on. Wondering if DRK is going to get anything in 4.1 to make it more appealing.

As for the OP, good to hear there is some enjoyment to be found in MCH. Always loved the idea, but I just couldn't get into the 3.X version and I haven't really heard anyone say much good about it since; so thanks, I'll have to give it try.
