Content finder isn't going to stop people from thinking that some jobs are useless on some things.

Greetings.

I lost count of the refusals I received, haha. And I also discovered that Melee is not an Island...!
In 2 rare occasions, however, the “shouter” was kind enough to invite me.

Wait, what?


On topic though...In the third live letter Yoshi-P mentioned that Monk was changing. By the way it sounded (in my opinion) It's pretty drastic and probably the one job that's getting the biggest change.

This is why I created my own linkshell so I can experiments with my ls members. My linkshell has good fun people in it that are willing to try new things and while still having fun in-game.

*Just my opinion, but as an MMO there's a reason why there are more than just one job to level, and to include the fact that veteran's usually stick with only one strategy, which, in my humble opinion find it really stale quickly. It's only great to use the same old' strategy that works effectively if it's within a static party, or to help each other get an item (exampe: totem or garuda weapon...).

In the end, MMO is a game of diversity and that includes variety of jobs and how any party leader who assemble a party for CC or AV wants it the way he/she prefer.

So yes, its a requirement to have an 2nd main job such as BLM, BARD, WAR for certain speed runs or quest.

That is the reason after leveling my first job to 50 (MNK) I got my BLM to to 50 within 5 days and rarely used MNK and I am okay with that because I enjoy getting invites and such. Which leads to a strong YES! You have to have a 2nd job that fit in with the community if you want to succeed in moving further into end game and get items =)

Luckily this common place was already wiped out a long time ago by hardcore adventurers, and like I showed in this post I had no problems in doing 20 minutes Speed Runs with Monk (and I'm a casual adventurer).

Those 2 phrases couldn't be any wrong and I think it's just this mentality that should change: there was no such “requirement” in Eorzea. Every Job could clear all the endgame contents, like I did as a Monk. I cleared them all expect for Relic, but only because I stopped doing Hamlet Defenses. I'm 100% sure, like other adventurers already said they did here, that with a very skilled party the TA17 could be done with a Monk, too.


By the way, this Topic is quite old and it's a matter already discussed. The Speed Runs won't be mandatory anymore in A Realm Reborn, and as long as the adventurers open their minds (yeah, that's the hardest thing), the issue described in the first post won't exist anymore, also considering that according to Yoshida the dungeons will offer a lot more variety.

Don't worry Cloudio! Already do it!

CC with 1 mnk is easier than cc with full blm (and Chimera with 5 Mnk and 1 blm is really fun and a good challenge! if remember well just 3mins to take down chimera)

maybe AV is a little more hard for Coincounter... i tried like monk (reaaaaally fun ) but our PLD was meanie and for don't make me win my bet... he wiped us all! lol (turned coincounter before 100 swipe... ;_; )


So, I'm with You Cloudio!
