What is your main job at the moment?

[Vickii]

I know you can have lots of jobs but what are you playing the most/what one is getting the best gear first etc?

You will 90 percent find me as MCH or BTN

BRD for life here. Started as an archer and will remain a BRD for as long as I shall play the game. I've stuck with the class through thick and thin and will continue to do so no matter what. I'm also probably among the minority who actually liked HW's bowmage :P BRD is the class that I enjoy the most and play the best. I don't think I'll ever find another class in an MMO that I'll like more than FF14's BRD. I really like not being a pure DPS and being a bit of a support class too (though the class' utility isn't as big as it once was).

White mage main since 2.0, got to live through the glory days, then being overshadowed for 2 expacs to B L O O D F O R T H E B L O O D L I L Y. Dislike the healing changes and having my skills ripped from me for role actions but I still like my job.

Bowmage? :OOOO Tell me more, this was before my time!

Bowmage? :OOOO Tell me more, this was before my time!

I faintly recall that BRD used to have cast times on their abilities, just like the magical classes. It was mostly before my time too though so someone else can probably tell it better.

Once upon a time, back in HW, BRD received a blessing and a curse known as The Wanderer's Minuet (the old version, not the one we know now). This skill allowed BRDs around Eorzea to increase their damage, but they had to sacrifice their mobility for it. Our kind came to be known as bowmages since we turned into casters, though our cast time wasn't as long as magic casters. I personally liked this phase of the class' evolution. It added an extra layer of challenge that I enjoyed. We could get our mobility back by dropping Wanderer's Minuet, and this allowed for some interesting stance dancing.

Oh, and I remember we had some skills that could only be used when Wanderer's Minuet was up.

Healer: White Mage and Astrologian.
Tank: Gunbreaker.
Physical DPS: Dancer.
Magical DPS: Red Mage.

I switch back and fro between these four. But the..., "most" main of them are White Mage and Astrologian, the ones I prioritize best gear for.

[GabiStrider]

You'll always see me as RDM or NIN, however I am currently learning how to tank so you might spot me as DRK

[hourayra]

Samurai here too ! And I'm thinking of dying all my gear sets red to take advantage of the title "... the Red" (from the Red Mage quest level 70). I hesitate between this and "... the True" with the true original dye for all my jobs for variety (curtana quest).

Edax, I have a suggestion for your death haiku. Haikus are 5-7-5 syllables so you need to lose one word, "the" in the first verse. Not only it becomes a true haiku, it also sounds better as far as I'm concerned ! Water is an uncountable noun in English. I'm French and I major in English; I also love poetry hence why your words stroke my soul so much. And congratulations both on the jobs and the haiku, both are commendable. I created an account on the forum just to tell you that. So here's my suggestion:

Raindrops on water;
All those moments will be lost;
Like tears in the rain.

Water is an uncountable noun in English.

When referring to the substance, yes. But it could also refer to a particular body of water, in which case "the" would be appropriate. I agree that it's unnecessary or even incorrect here though, since it isn't established which water is being talked about. (I don't have any advanced formal education in English and am not a native speaker, and although I've used the language for the past 25 years I could be wrong.)
