Gunbreaker starting level

[Eriane_Elis]

Leveling in this game is horribly boring, but it's like that with any MMORPG really. I don't know why reaching max lv 255? in Star Ocean Games to not feel so grindy and boring and feels rewarding, but reaching max level in XIV feels very punishing. Maybe I just don't like MMOs in general compared to traditional RPGs? :P

Possibly due to the way you are "grinding".

I have all but 3 jobs at level 70, and I never once got bored of it. But I think that's because I didn't rush it and "grind". I simply did the Leveling Roulette and Alliance raid roulette, and beast tribe quests daily, with 1-3 dungeons/potd/hoh thrown in.

I think with anything, if you focus too much on it, you'll burn yourself out fast.

It's not as bad on main jobs because you have the MSQ to help with leveling, so you have a fun story with relatively easy xp to help you level up. It's alt jobs that are a pain/grind to level.

Personally, as someone who has every DoW and DoM class at 70, I didn't think the grind was that bad. Just pace it well and do stuff with friends. I found the jobs I dislike to be the particularly hard part.

Personally, I enjoy leveling(To an extent of course XD) One key thing it helps is with building my company credits. ^^ Long as I keep spamming dungeons, roulettes and what not for levels. I can hoard the gear and turn it into creds for my FC. I got my FC to rank 8 solo while I was leveling most of my 70s XD

I mean keeping aggro will be the simple part. Its maxing out the dps on the GNB that will take some learning.

Also this conversation happened when DRK was introduced to. As well as SAM and RDM.

And likely with every future expansion.

@Arngrim
Part of it definitely depends on if you enjoy the job and to some extent, the role as well. I find tanks easier to level compared to dps, mainly because I enjoy having control, when playing dps I feel an extreme lack of control, there's also the fact I trust very few tanks besides FC + static mates.

I also enjoy leveling tanks because most tanks these days just do it for the quick queue. Most of the time they lose aggro to my monk or another party member, which irks me to no end as a WAR main. So I feel ya on the not trusting tanks thing. Can't wait to try out Gunbreaker though. The fast pace of it looks exciting.

It will level to 70 pretty fast either way with PotD & HoH

It's a global issue with all the new jobs. I'd have even made them all start at Lvl 1 it's a bit grindy, sure, but it's the only real way to learn a new job, learning the skills one by one etc.

No job is learned properly one skill at a time. Learning incomplete jobs promotes bad habits. The sooner people get their complete action sets, the sooner they can start using them correctly and working on good habits.
