Hey all - just started, got my Pugilist up to 15, leveled Gladiator & Thaumaturge up to 10 each to see if I liked any of them better, and started dipping my toe into a few of the crafting professions too. I won't say I'm feeling 'lost,' but maybe 'overwhelmed' is the right word.
I guess, other than "plow forward into the story, dump all mission XP into main class" is there anything else I should be looking into? Anything I should think about spending my leves on? Or my gil?

And just a general quality-of-life question, but - is there an easier way to switch between job classes than going into the Character pane, changing out their weapon, then clicking on the "equip recommended gear" button, etc. etc.? Any way to condense all that into a single easy step?

Yes. On that character screen, near the recommended gear button, is another button to open up gear sets. Make a gear set by pressing the little + button at the top of the menu that appears, then drag the set to your hotbar.

It's an alright source of some materials, but it's for combat classes.

It's also a good test to see just how many times you can get hype or get sad in a few seconds with those loving doors.

I'm going to be... modestly annoyed(?) if monk ends up being the secret super DPS after I started leaning towards sam. At least the gear interchangeable other than the weapon.

All this talk of wanting GL4 instead of RoF now has me thinking about RoF being a 20 second buff that reduces your GCD to 1 second, a la Meditation. Now I'm sad that we don't have that instead.

Getting hit with an arrow is still some of the most fun I've ever had monking. Becoming Kenshiro for even a few seconds is bliss.

Tried Nael the other day with three and the ice just eventually catches up in the last phase, though you might be able to burst the last few percent if you're quick enough. 4 seems to be the sweet spot for now.

Even assuming some pretty crazy mitigation and perfect hallowed ground timing (which I'm not 100% works because I don't know the exact number of seconds between ice) you'd still probably have to kill before the sixth or seventh ice, which I assume is well out of reach of paladin right now

Ice comes out too quick to out-rez it really. We tried once twice with NIN, RDM, and BRD, but there's just a bit too much health to burn down, and the time I tried tanking as DRK I couldn't survive the ice even with all my cooldowns.

I'm very confused at how the GLD/PLD quests could suck so loving hard, the ARC/BRD quests could be meh-average with a couple high notes, but the PGL/MNK quests are loving awesome.

The Monk quests are alright, but Dark Knight has pretty much killed it since 30 on.

Pugilist is best for class stories though.
