TC, this is actually great advice. Unless you are super attached to being a BRD and a BRD only (which there is nothing wrong with that if thats the case) you might find a lot of new content available for you to not only access, but even enjoy. You would be paying the same amount for any potion skip. But a White Mage has a lot fewer button presses than pretty much any class (one could argue any healer would). So with macros and fewer abilities that you have to press, I would argue that you could be doing lvl 80 dungeons in no time.
