Rune Fencer or Geomancer?Follow

Just a thought. If you have been playing the game since 03 - 04, then you probably have already played all the jobs already and have 1) a pretty decked out melee class job and 2) a seriously pimped Mage class to alternate for end game events as needed. That being said, I cannot imagine a serious player not leveling both to see how they can better enhance their favorite jobs with a new combination sub job.

Think about how ninja changed all melee play. Or how dancer as a sub enabled many people to solo abyssea and leveling a new job in the old areas. How about the revolution of /sch to just about every mage job that truly was the nail in a coffin for RDM.

This being said. I do belive that you will see alot of people leveling both jobs in the mines/chests/abyssea as fast as possible so they can go xplore in the new areas of SOA so they can see how the mechanics of both work as a main and a sub job. Since leveling time from 1- 99 is < a week for even casual players I am pretty certain this is how it will go. Lets just hope the quests for both arent really stupid in that you need a r/x drop item that only can be had in 1 area each or we'll have massive congestion similar to the mini expansion fiasco all over again. :(

I'll take a wait and see approach. There is no point jumping on a bandwagon that ultimately gets neglected.

Being useful in an MMO > being a special snowflake.

Disclaimer: I do think these jobs will be useful because there will be pressure to create new content catered towards using these jobs. When this happens, I will pick whichever job I can leverage existing gear for, assuming it is also fun for me to play.

Neither for me too. Instead of levelling jobs, I'm working my way through all the old content (all the quests, all the missions, and so on) with the jobs I already have and love.

If the costume was the motivating factor, as a mithra I'd level SCH and COR first before these new ones.

That and my automaton needs some serious skilling up, and she'd get jealous if I levelled a whole new job instead of giving her some attention.

>.< Hate to be a spoiler but automatons are male >.<

On a side note to another post, I'm pretty sure the dev team has a mithra on a bottle of hand lotion because all of the gear looks hot on them.

Check your chat log in any fight where the automaton blocks, evades, or is talked about. It always refers to (your) / anyone else's automaton in the Male gender.

The story ones are male and female.

SpoilerI forget if they are actually her parents or her parent personalities infused into them through the power of the AC.

Anyways It's excepted the puppetmaster community(At least on these forums) that autos are whatever gender the master calls them. No different to how some people refer to their cars as a he or she.

Looking at the seekers website, I'm beginning to think RDM might actually play nice with RNF as a subjob, but this remains to be seen. More info is needed, too.

I didn't realise events were the only use for jobs... damn, I must've been playing wrong all these years. SCH and DNC being invaluable as subjobs means nothing, eh? SE sure did mess up bad...

Yeah, if a job is only truly useful as a sub that means they really half-assed it. Almost literally!

I might actually try geo. I kind of like the idea of an aoe buff job where there is a clear, visible aoe field where you can tell stupid people "Stand here for your melee/mage buffs." Seems like it would be useful for events where your group is tanking one monster. Not so useful if you are roaming, unless you can get your Laopan to "follow" your main DD or something.
