New to the game but not new to MMORPG's.

Any FC's looking for a total newbie?

Playing a very trigger happy dark mage right now enjoying my leveling by blowing stuff up. But I am glancing towards the hybrid heal/dps gameplay I saw in video's from red mages which looks very sweet making me rekindle my fond memories of the old Chloromancer in Rift and Disc Priest in WoW gameplay.

Luckily switching jobs is easier in FF14

Would love some help and guidance to the jobs, crafting, roles and other things.
This game is a lot more complicated (or rather, information overwhelming) than I expected.
