I've been thinking about this a lot.
People say, "Play what you want!" Ever hear that? But it's just not true. You have to play what the parties need, especially your Coil static.Not to mention the PF. The end result, I don't have a ilvl 90 anything. And at this point I can't get it faster no matter how hard I try. Not until more time passes. Coil or Myth are the only upgrade options 80+ and both are time-locked.
My highest Job currently is ilvl 85 BLM. But I've also been using Myths to level a 83 WHM , and 80 BRD and 80 DRG. I went too far sideways!! I spread out my Myth purchases such that ilvl 90 on any Job is still SO far away. A mistake I don't plan to repeat when Patch 2.2 rolls around. At first my Coil static needed a WHM for a few weeks. I also found I really enjoyed Bard, and put a couple weeks of progress into it. And then no one was taking the Striking drops in Coil so DRG was easy to get gear for. Mostly the PF just needs WHM for everything! I've spent at least twice the amount of time healing as I have playing all my other jobs combined.
So what have I learned? Gotta focus on ONE Job.
ONE.
It has me thinking. Within a week or two of Coil drops and Myth Tomes becoming un-capped, anyone could get any of their 50+ jobs to the Patch 2.2 starting point of ilvl 90.
The point is that it doesn't have to be the one you are playing as your main now. You can pick any Job and switch now, and have a different Main for the Patch 2.2 Cycle. And further, from what I see right now, going forward any one can conceivably easily switch their Main anytime a new Patch raises the ilvl cap and removes Tome Caps.
