Re: I think I may retire from BLM...

If you have a RDM friend you can duo some nice xp with no down time and much safer (unless you like the thril of running out of mp while an angry mob is coming for you ).


After I'm done with PLD (73 atm) I'm gonna lvl BLM and THF, both jobs seem like fun.

Re: I think I may retire from BLM...

Yay! I found myself a twin!

I think I found an intresting job combo that willbe a nice break from BLM - NIN/BST. I always liked melee jobs, but I never found myself leveling them in FFXI because of the general sterotypes and requirements to be one. for example, Warriors ALWAYS use Greataxes untill 50, when they sub NIN and dual axes. Ninja ALWAYS are tanks. Dragoons ALWAYS suck. You catch my drift.

Another job I was looking at leveling is DRG/BRD. As a hume it might be a little difficult, butif I load up on HP and defence I should make a decent soloer.

EDIT: Balfree do you really live in portugal?

NIN... /BST? I don't follow. No one invites Ninjas for the damage they do. If you want to solo, just play BST and have done with it. You can't get a party on NIN/BST, and I don't really see what /BST gives you that /WHM wouldn't do better (or /PUP for that matter.. or any of a host of other superior solo subjobs... /BLU.../RDM...).

This is at least viable in a solo setting with the right gear, though trying to solo for XP before you get the DRG AF head piece with the improved breath effect is probably pretty dangerous since you'll only be able to trigger Healing Breath when your HP is below 25% (33% with AF hat).

I think he meant soloing and in a non-conformed manner. Remember, he's tired of stereotyping.

I think someone who leveled 1 to 75 on DRG soloing might have something to say to that. I'm still waiting for her Guide (*stares at LadyKiki*)
