    My First back to cap will be BST, still my main, and my favorite job after all these years. Then BLU will be next. DNC and PUP and SAM in that order, as time allows will move on from 75 toward 99 last.

    14? That sounds generous. Could have sworn when I did it was in the single digits for marble rewards. However I haven't done MMM in about.... 4-5 months so I could be wrong.

    Though yeah, if Korroloka gets more drama than DA back in the "OMFG your shell bots" days I can see SE fixing this. I don't care either way if they fix it or not, but having to hear people complain about it being legit or diaga griefers gets old fast.

    SE really seems to have it out for manaburns.
    ..Eight? Nowhere near that. There aren't even that many summoners in anything you could realistically call a nearby area. You slept the aern, and they infinitely respawned their elemental. That was it. It was pet-soloing on heroin, and nothing more. That camp, in its prime, couldn't even begin to compete with the potential of the more commonplace camps we use today(quite frankly, I'd be surprised if it beat an elite pudding group).

    Regardless, all you need are two BLM, SCH, or some combination of the two in addition to a RDM, and you've got your coveted elemental camp back.

    Gippo & Failure sums my thoughts about the BLM matter pretty nice here.
    To add something else, I think we will have very few LV99 BRDs, most will stay at 75 is my bet hehe.

    seeing as pup was my first 75, it will be my first 99 too lol ;D

    but i love pup and mnk the same so they will both be taken up (idc if mnk becomes lol..... i took pup up when it was too)

    I probably will leave sam at 75, and blu too unless they add something to make it wanted. As it is I only use it for cannonball and that is kinda crappy role since I pull hate way to easy and die.

    Still considering if sch will go to 75 too. I leveled it as a nuke job and pimped it pretty well for nuking, but still majority of time I am healing and f that shit lol. As galka sch healing its not to great.

    I think few will jump on leveling it as their first priority, but plenty will have it at 99.

    With basically every current 75 needing to XP again, unless we all get there via some sort of sync'ed XP, I'd have to imagine that a lot of currently 75 BRDs will get to 99 simply by filling demand from LS mates or friends. Unless there are enough content to XP to cap, then turn around and sync on BRD instead of XP'ing something else, I think we'll at least see a fair number hit 99 by taking turns with LS mates or friends.

    Personally, I leveled BRD in an LS static in the first place. Partly so that the particular static had a BRD, partly so that I could play BRD for LS stuff if needed. I'd do it again to 99, if the need was there.

    Pickup, on the other hand, will probably be a whole 'nother matter.

    I wish I could pull up the %s of jobs by player that comes out in every SE census and compare it to the poll in this, but I cant hit SE's site from work .

    Will probably be RDM, the job I started with and the first I took to 75. Then maybe my RNG (if I have the time to do so!).

    I took RDM to 75 first, but unless they get something amazing in the new levels, I don't think it'll be #1. Well, at least, not willingly-- I could be suckered into LS Exp I suppose. But I am not fucking doing colibri, I'm sorry. Syncing to colibri just makes me shudder yaya probably most efficient but who caressssss

    Regardless it'll probably be:

    BLM->NIN->SCH->PUP->RNG->RDM

    if only because it's hardest to level Black Mage quickly, might as well get it over ASAP, and that's how I made that list from most annoying to level to least annoying

    ofc this changes if they make some super duper cool thing for some job or makes one job more desirable etc etc

    either way I want Comet by 80, Meteor by 90, and Ultima at 99 on BLM

    I want JubakuSan, TonkoSan, Utusesmi San by 85NIN >|

    idc what they say I want SCH to get another stratagem, and want them to get tier2 helices and clearly stoneskin, and natural MAB/MDB traits!!!

    PUP better just get something idfk its not even 75 yet so idk what i want

    For RNG i want a WS better than slugwinder and some sort of crazy wide scan VI that scans the entire zone, clearly for those zones you can't already cover in one glance, also the ability to hit enemies with your bow/gun like blast arrow. it'll be a melee attack w/ the dmg of your ranged slot AND CLEARLY STUN. BOW BASH FUCK YEAH

    and red mage should clearly get AoE enfeebles, tier2 enfeebles, reflect, bravery, faith, enspell3 DUH, more clear mind, more mab and mdb, like a lot more, and i want to be capped recast w/o gear at 99 gdi also single target Shell V and Pro V, also a magic accuracy job trait

    and a fucking pony

    SE should stop wasting their time designing new jugpets. Simply raise the Pankration level cap and give BST the ability summon their pets using offical soulreflector. Hundred fist chigoes + enpetrify is way more fun than some stupid giant crabs.

    I only have SAM and BRD at 75, guess I'll be levelling BRD to 99 since I love the job. Don't really mind levelling SAM and BRD to 99, it's levelling the subs which I am dreading.

    They already have tier 2 enfeebles, it's called merits lol. Supposedly were getting haste2/refresh2, haste 2 is supposed to cap magic haste which would be nice, freeing bards from having to do march.

    No reason they couldn't give us Slow III later on >_>

    I'd almost wonder if merits will be at least one of the limit breaks anyway. That'd maintain a logical reason for having the system available at 75.

    What I'd prefer, of course, is that they let use learn the damn spells in the 60s like they should have in the first place and amend the merits to be potencies...but they won't do that.
