I haven't actually reached a sanctuary on a character I intended to keep, so I mostly pick and choose what to read. :P

Also, since Ultros is closed, I don't really expect to play anymore either. No reason to at this point.

NA/EU beta servers are open until 8AM PDT today, so if you have time, I'd at least make sure to move your character to an inn or Sanctuary. I don't know if rested EXP will accrue over the time until Early Access, but it's worth a shot.

I think we'll need to wait and see. We saw WAY more Arcanists than we'll see during live, and I'm sure a large number of those players are ones that will main a Thaum or a Conj.

It's also worth noting that the DF is clearly meant to be a support tool for grouping, not the main function. It's meant to be the way you group with minimal effort. But it's also restrictive in return. Everyone is reduced down to their most basic role, and that's all. But if you have a party already, you can queue in the Duty Finder just to get the quest itself.

Also, since you can unlock Scholar at 30, it's not actually that large of a period where you only have one healer.

It's also worth noting that Conj is probably going to be a very widely-leveled class. Glads need it for Paladin, Arcanists need it for Scholar. It gives Cure, Protect, and Cleric Stance, all awesome cross-class skills (the last of which might actually open the highest damage option for Thaums).

Plus, there are plenty of people who choose their classes based on faster queue times.

You'll only need Arcanist to 15 for Whm though, right? So that's not much more effort.

And then you'll need to level Thaum, because otherwise your Summoner is going to be lagging behind.

You say that now, but you'll be singing a different tune if they introduce a Bahamut Egi.

I have an obsession with pet classes, yet I so rarely play them. It's weird.

Almost never played Drg, Smn, or Pup in FFXI. Then again, I was largely playing when those classes were super under powered and unwanted.

In WoW, I didn't seriously play a pet class until they released DK (though I mained Unholy the entire time I played one). Then moved onto Mage (pre-pet, mostly). And Druid.

It's funny, too. When I found out there was no pet class in the original FFXIV, it made me far less interested in the game. Even though I've never been a huge player of them. But when I DO play pet classes, it's all-in on the pet (Beast mastery spec, Demonology spec, etc.)

I'm also really sensitive to aesthetics. If I don't like the idea of a class, the chance of me really maining it are far lower.

I'm going to assume you didn't read the class quest text, but kiting is an intended play mechanic. Also, you're discussing balance <lvl10.

So like pretty much like always and forever?

also why the heck didn't I get a beta invite? I even paid for a couple months of broken XIV

-.-

Every archer is Legolas.

Beta invite in general, or for phase 4? Because you just needed to download the client for Phase 4, provided you were in an earlier beta.

:( Well, if you want to play with character creation, download the benchmark test. It has a character creator on it and you can save what you make, for use in the actual game.

The code I got after waiting on hold for hours with Gamestop doesn't work. I'm shocked. SHOCKED.
