And use Blindside, which says Doesn't affect auto-attack or Spells...?

Am I really reading all these comments right?

First off if you pull hate off a tank, you suck. (Anyone offended by this comment, truth hurts huh?)

Second if it's true that as a job you can only have 5 cross class abilities why waste it two abilities like Featherfoot and Second wind if you shouldn't be getting hit or taking hate. Invigorate is awesome to pair with Second wind, but if you can't use invigorate, are you really gonna run up to Ifrit while he's friggen glowing spamming that body explosion? If so and you can't use Invigorate to generate the tp, you are seriously an idiot.

hahaha.... I still plan on soloing the hell out of these jobs... why not? right?

Pretty sure somewhere it said classes were for solo play while jobs were made for party play.

If you want to solo cool. But why make it harder for yourself?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Thats the joke I have with my friends....
Every time anyone mentions jobs... we all say "Jobs are for party... classes are for solo"
thats the company line
I just can't see this being the case

SE interoffice memo:
"We'll give you these 5 abilities and all of a sudden.... You can no longer solo....
ok... I know you don't actually "lose" anything... but you can no longer solo...
why? because we said "Jobs are for party... classes are for solo"
Why would you use jobs to solo when we said "Jobs are for party... classes are for solo"
ok... yea.. you have the same abilities.... plus 5 more....
same (And even better) gear.... we might play with stats a little but when has that EVER mattered?
The point is... we don't wanna see any of you soloing with these jobs or we WILL be forced to bring down the Banhammer"

That is funny lol

Even if they cut cross class to 5... how much would that really hurt? Some classes are stretching to find 10 useful cross class abilities anyway...

there just aren't enough abilities to be able to cross class 15... even at 10 cross class abilities we are stuck with stuff on the bar that we wont use.
Which is fine with me... It just means that I can't see classes doing anything better than Jobs... thats solo, duo, light party, full party, company leves... anything
And thats ok... I don't mind using Jobs for everything....
Its not bad... but lets just call it what it is and stop saying classes are for solo play

I don't know about you guys but this BLM is soloing just fine.
