Emancipation of the Bard

[barber2006]

A lot of people are already 1 tnl. That leaves maybe 200k exp to 80. Just bite the bullet and set aside a day.

I'm looking forward to all the people who think they can become DD-only, let other people pick up the support role tasks, and it have no repercussions on their standing in their LS

Ditto. This should be fun to watch.

I love playing BRD, the only problem is I feel like I've run out of content in FFXI even with the new update.

I guess playing the same game for 5.5 years will do that to ya.

No ballad/march 3? Outrage, RDM will be first to 80, then sam, maybe blm and bard. Rest of 75's can stay where they are unless something I can't pass up comes along.

[NynJa]

I was actually talking to Sumi about this. If our, well, inferior players think they can rush their weak melee to try to get ahead and be "IM 80 HES NOT IM COMING MELEE HE CAN MAGE I DIDNT LVL MY RDM/BRD/whatever YET"...I think my response was that I'd laugh at them and tell them to play their 75 mage or leave >.>

[Whaleporn]

My first 80 will be corsair....


because that's what job the people I gave my account to will dualbox while leveling their mains.

[Cesaria]

My first 76 will be BST, exp scroll locked and loaded :D

My first 76 will be BST, exp scroll locked and loaded :D

Im going out and raping a colibri first thing from log in lol.

[Thorny]

MNK -> DRK* -> SAM -> THF

Fortunately, my alt has RDM BRD BLM and I'll be 80ing those in the process to not be a useless lump.

*pending information on oclub working at 80

What people don't understand about support is that unless your directly interacting with a mob you are not effected as much by not being at max level.

BRD will be virtually the same strength buffer. WHM looses out on a few traits and accession by not being 80 but you will still have nearly the same heal output, don't kid yourself that not having cure VI will make you less of a healer. RDM will probably be hurt the most by not being 80 because of enfeebles, but most RDMs solo anyways and its a motivation for them to be 80.

yea our ls leader already made a post about this. Those who come brd/rdm/blm/whm to events better not be seeking all day on their dd jobs... lol

[SephYuyX]

BLM was, is, and forever will be my main and first to caps.

[Tsuko_Asura]

If everyone is leaving brd at 75, how are we gonna get to 80? I hate pretty princesses who wont even party without 1 in their party, I guarantee they will be hard to find this time around, unless youre lucky to static. I'm sure those people will suck it up though.

Coincidentally, I hate people who enjoy wasting my and everyone else's time by settling for lackluster EXP/H.

Imagine that.

[Marcicus]

why the fuck would you exp without a bard

Imagine that.

How did I miss that gem?

[Tsuko_Asura]

Seems like a whole page of people managed to. Luckily I have a keen eye for retard.

[Shalafi]

My first 80 will be SMN, just like many others.

[Draylo]

As much as I hate the job, I will be taking up eventually... The benefit to my LS is just too big to be a DD onry. Besides it really urks me when people refuse to play a support job because they don't feel like it, even when its leveled and geared. Too many SAM in this game, not enough brads.

[Crizto]

I'm going to enjoy saying no to party invites

[Marianna]

My WAR is gonna get left behind, It never gets any use. I'd rather use my SAM for things anyways. But RDM will be my first to 80, then BRD, then SAM. Then i guess COR and DNC after that when I have the time. I dislike meriting on COR but meh, I'll grind through it.
