Not for casuals

[CrisGer]

There is plenty to enjoy in this game if you wont or dont want to do dungeons. They are hard true but that is the price of the game being attractive to a wide range of people. You can craft your heart out in many ways and just enjoy the amazingly beutiful world. And in time, the lines will get less and yes any of the support roles get thru fast.

Maybe not the right place to ask but, I am a new player and an experienced tank from other MMOs. Thing is, the tank classes in XIV do not really appeal to me so I plan to mainly play Dragoon while leveling. Now, my question is, is it viable to use the multi class system to basically level as a tank for dungeons, and a dragoon for actual "fun" play when I solo?

I really don't see an issue with it. The characters were pretty much made to be a whatever you want them to be so that's pretty cool.

I guess it will slow my Dragoon leveling down quite a bit though?

My suggestion is to level a tank and dragoon together.. Essentially this will slow your chance of reaching end game soon but if you are not in a rush then you will be fine.

Alternatively, you can level lancer exclusively until 30 and use crafting/fishing/DOL as something to do while waiting for a queue. Just remember for you to be a dragoon you will also have to lvl Pugilist to at least 15.

I actually plan to level all to level cap in this game, seems interesting with the cross class skills Can I have multiple jobs though? Like, is it possible to have all jobs on one character? The way it's worded on sites makes those specialisations seem a bit more exclusive..

Your going to be leveling them seperately so yes, any time you spend on your tank or whatever will be time that your not getting exp on your dragoon. This isnt bad though, its nice when you play with friends and need a different job to complete something and you are able to change class real quick to help out.
Personally I play a PLD, BRD and working on my CNJ right now. They are all fun, at least try each job up to lvl 10-15. Even if you dont feel like continuing you will have their starting abilities to use crossclass and help out your main class.

i dont find queues long in duty finder... i play mainly as archer currently n max wait time for me is around 20-30mins,,, just continue questin/fates etc while in duty time goes fast :3

Thx for the inclusion of dungeons in the main story line, due to their length and massive wait times, it means I will be unable to complete main storyline.

Due to work and life commitments my available gaming time is less than that needed for these events.

So you have less than an hour straight to play the game at a time? Seriously?

Yes one character can level all classes/jobs to 50. There are no need for alts.

There are 2 reasons for alts: Different Starting Out City / Main Quests, and Differing Grand Company Quests.

I have to work full time and deal with family issues every day but I still did plenty of time to play. As go the duty finder I have yet to see a problem with it since I'm playing on jp servers till the na servers an be fixed and expanded. There are plenty of English speaking people but if u can't find any able to do the dungeons I need ATM the df works great. I even managed to cut down on my wait time by selecting all languages and to join runs already in progress if possible. I play a thm and tho in a slow leveler cause I like to take my time I went and raised arcane at to lvl 6 and got its healing spell onto mh thm so that I can help a party of thy need a healer until one shows or the healer needs help cause they arnt used to a healing class yet. Just today I ran with a party that didn't receive a healer till the second attempt at the boss cause its mob took me out at the last few percent of health to win. Just cause ur a dps class don't mean u have to have long waits.
