Hi, this is my first post here, so I thought I'd ask about something that plagues me the most in the game.

I've been playing since 2014, sometime after 2.3 and before 2.4. Summoner was my main in ARR due to the overall aesthetic and gameplay of the job, I loved it. When HW came, I was obsessed with Machinist, because a gun job was a huge want of mine. Issue was, was that it was weak and needed balancing. Despite that, I stuck with it purely because I loved it as a job. Summoner was not an option to retreat to at the time, because it became a rather clunky job to play optimally (MCH kind of was as well, but not as bad imo). Before SB came, I had no idea whether to switch to RDM or stay as MCH.I tried RDM and loved it, but it was such a commonly used job that it put me off using it. Didn't want to dilute the player pool.

Ever since SB, I've jumped between jobs like crazy and I've never stuck to one. Seeing the upcoming Reaper and Sage jobs throws me into an even deeper spiral of job switching and reconsidering because Reaper is, of course, stunning. The aesthetic ticks all my boxes, but you know full well that everybody and their grandfathers will be levelling and maining it the moment the servers go up.

Sage does still interest me however, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the other jobs get, especially Scholar.

This post has mostly been blabbering about my personal issue with choosing a main to stick with, but I want to know how you do it? How did you choose yours? How do you stick with it? Do you jump around jobs a lot?
