Marauder might win out because of fashion, but I'm on my way to getting it to 30 and then I'll dip back into pugilist to make a final decision.

Doomykins posted:*pushes Devilment, Technical Step* The worst thing about Dancer is that dungeon runs frequently go so fast that if you wait for the second pack before hitting Technical Step, it won't be back by the time you get to the next boss and now your opener is all weird.

yeah there's no point in not leveling at least two classes through MSQ given the XP gains, especially since DPS is faster for most questing stuff (since the stuff you have to kill is by design not too damaging to be threatening to DPS but not too tanky to be killed in a reasonable time by tanks), and healers/tanks get much better queue times. make one of the classes arcanist and you can level all three roles easily via msq.
|
# ? Nov 19, 2022 20:37 |
Yeah that's very reasonable. I focused hard on my dragoon during my first stint of the game three years ago (where I got about halfway between the end of ARR and the beginning of HW, as mentioned earlier), so I'm still in the frame of mind that I'm gonna focus on one job besides crafting and gathering.

There needs to be a way to preview classes, it's impossible to get a good feel for them with how much some of them change as you level.

Any mat that I can just pick up or stuff that's sold at vendors for reasonable prices, that can go.

how fast can potd get you from 50 to 60 if you're not a tank or a healer?

# ? Nov 19, 2022 23:06 |

exactly as fast as if you're a tank and healer it's not slow, but it feels slow because of how boring it is, imo

25+ seems like a real slump when I'm already done with ARR. What's the most effective way to get to 50 from there?

Rous are ridiculously effective leveling over a long period of time post-50 if you hit them consistently. Normal Raids/Trials/FL isn't the most xp but it's my fast set, adding in Leveling Dungeons and 50-80 Dungeons significantly boosts the xp gained per day and if you want to trade a bit more time for a lot more level then MSQ and Alliance Raids are like half a level each. PVP is super fun if you enjoy the concept whether in FL or CC(two very different beasts) because all you do is hit 30 and bam, full pvp kit. They're not tied to your actual regular kit too much but you get levels and two types of glam farming points.

The other nice thing about frontlines roulette is you get experience on what you queue as but can change jobs once you are inside. So if you need astrologian experience but hate playing ast in pvp, you can queue as an ast and then switch to something you like once inside.
|
# ? Nov 20, 2022 01:22 |
Caveat is that you have to have unlocked the Job crystal to be able to queue for PvP, so you still have to get to 30 other ways

Hunt logs will get you to 30 pretty fast, in my experience.

If you don't care about going fast, you can grind dungeons through Duty Support. It's slow, but I've done it before when I had nothing better to do while listening to some podcasts. There's some gaps with the levels though, since ARR has a fair few optional dungeons

I really should get around to finishing my hunt logs after all these years, just so that I can bind H to something else and not have a screen pop up in battle when I try to hit whatever I've bound to G.
