    I feel the same as the OP. I originally started BRD, then moved to WHM, then to MRD, now I have no idea what to do. My current goal is all classes 15(only 1 more to go 3 lvls) and finally all classes to 30 for the job, that should give me the ability to be ready for any new jobs. By that time I guess id pick one and stick with it. Game just feels so watered down compared to FFXI, but i still love it nonetheless.

    The game is made so you can quickly swap jobs/classes at (almost) any given moment. I can't really imagine sticking to any of them permanently.

    For me personally I love SCH as I love being a healer but I wish BRD was more of a true support class rather than a DD with support abilities. I would love to main as SCH and then make BRD my sub job. (sub as in second main not sub as in FFXI)

    In general, SE please make real support classes!!

    I, too, wish BRD was more of a support class. Its what I played in Beta and I really wanted to be the class with the awesome songs. . . and now I get a Ranger who sings. =\

    I've tried every class and I don't think there is a class I dislike. Its not that the classes are bad in anyway. Just none have really made an impression on me. I've been randomly leveling classes for the cross class skills.

    I'm very glad I did.

    I haven't had this much fun with melee since my old TBC Rogue, back when Rogues were actually useful in that game. Plus with cross-class abilities I can bring Protect, Feint and Raise to the table so I can help everyone else out.

    This.

    I originally wanted to roll Archer with the intent of becoming a Bard for Launch, because I love playing support classes, and as of the Closed Beta the Bard was in fact Support. But just before it came time to Launch SE changed that around, likely due to a majority of testers wanting to be ranged physical damage dealers. I can't blame those that want to be B.A. walking artillery pieces, but this change crushed my ambitions to level Archer.

    Why not have a fork in the Archer road? We could have Bard for full support, and Ranger for DPS. Wouldn't that be nice?

    Could it be because the real fun starts at level 50, not pre-50?

    Hang around, get a few classes to 50 and join up some end game content. You will see.

    All the battles, down to the last percent of HP, the last man/women standing, the last cast, the last second stats doesn't start until then.

    While I do agree with you to an extent, I don't think a class should be fun only at 50. I've never played any MMO where the fun only came at max level so I don't think its the content but rather the classes I cannot truly click with. I never said I wasn't enjoying the content and having fun cause trust me I am but I think the majority of the fun you are talking about comes from the content.

    I had a friend who was hating bard at early levels but was the only kind of class he enjoyed do such with it, at 50 he said the class completely changed for him and is absolutely in love with bard now. You may want to level one to 50 and see what happens

    With everyone mentioning BRD, it sorta makes me want to try and max it but I really wanted a Brd to be about the songs rather than the "Ranger who thinks s/he sings" we currently have.
