It is a no brainer that people that come to these boards often play their job better then people who don't. Now this is not to say that all people that come to these boards are the best players, or some people who don't come to these boards are crap. But for the most part a person who reads different threads about his/her job will perform better in party situations.

So my question is more of a poll. I was just tryin to see what jobs people play that come to these boards. For the most part they are in people sigs, but just to see what everyone plays will give an idea as to what jobs MIGHT, and I use might because it is not always the case, have the worst players in it.

***I dunno why I started this thread, I was really bored at work and figured it could start a good conversation about what jobs are lackin good players on Valefor***

I play THF, WHM, BLM and SAM (not very often. Trying to maintain 2 mage jobs and a melee is hard enough without having to worry about 10k gil GK's.) and war >.<. WAR is what I sub with THF, though that might change.

For the most part I browse the THF and BLM forums and the TradeSkill forums.

I probably should mention what my job is since I didn't mention it before. I am obviously a pld as you can see in my sig. I am hopin to actually try BLM one of these days, as I already have a good amount of the spells gettin drk and rdm both to lvl 13, however this comes at the cost of rolanberry pies and astral rings, which at this point in time I have to spend that money on my armor for my upcoming lvls at 45 and 50, which seem a little more important.

Who knows, some day I might be sitting in jeuno in my hobo gear (lol, my opinion of what the blm af looks like), but for now I will focus on tryin to get to the point of sittin in jeuno with my galliant equipment.

I currently play three Jobs:
Misaku: Female Elvaan Dark Knight/Monk level 53/26
Chumbawumba: Male Tarutaru Blackmage/Summoner 31/11
Stealthydhalmel: Galka Thief/Monk 19/7

For the most part I've really been putting Misaku on the back-burner (especially after the three deaths in Eldime Necropolis, which caused me to de-level and no longer equip my greatsword. Granted I admit the first death was my fault cause I wasn't paying attention to how far behind me the rest of the party was, but the third death was because 8 out of 10 party members DC'd.... thank you Square-Enix maintence, your work shines like a 7-11 pen-light)

Stealthy is the one you'll most likely see me on as, probably running around the Saruta desperatley farming because I am trying to fund an Emp Pin, and leaping boots before I head to Qufim/Kazham (quarter of the way there-ish 135,000 gil so far!)

Well my main is PLD, however i have been relieving some AF stress with DRK ^^. Nothing like being the damage dealer in the party, and not have to worry about touching my provoke macro. I do have the problem of using provoke when the tanks in my PT cant keep hate and the mob goes after a mage ><. I have grown very fond of the dark magic spells. Drain and aspir kept my party's downtime low in qufim. Whenever i was running low on MP, i would have the puller grab a clipper. hmmm... i think i ran off subject there... Well all of my jobs are listed below. I think i am going to take SAM and DRK to 30.

My main job is PLD, so it's PLD/WAR all the time, unless I'm solo and farming. I've read a little about PLD/WHM for solo and BCNM's, but I haven't done much r & d on it.

Lately I've been playing WAR a lot more, and hit 37 last night, which is sub job cap for whenever I eventually get PLD to 48... but I have 3 sub jobs I can use with WAR, and enough levels on those to get WAR to the 43~45 range, so I might do that. If I'm tanking as WAR it's WAR/NIN with axes, or WAR/MNK with a great axe, but I could/should do axe + shield. And if it's damage I'm doing, it's WAR/THF with a great axe. I've been asking party leaders what sub they want me to us, and most are saying NIN.

When I first started, I chose RDM as my job.. leveled up to 13, and decided to try out BLM for a while. And it didn't take very long at all for BLM to become my main ^^. So I sit @ BLM/WHM most of the time, until I need to lvl WHM a bit.

WHM all the way! Not enough WHMs running around in full AF anymore in my opinion, so I will add to the population. And I actually like being healer.. *gasp*

Then I'll probably go BRD all the way and lvl PLD on the side. Really... almost all the jobs are fun! Except for THF >.<

Too many jobs. I'm glad they aren't adding more yet.

RDM main at 33. Subs for that are: BLM 20, WHM 24, THF 15 for farming.

I was using WHM(16) as sub (hit the limit), but wanted to try BLM sub, but now i'm leveling both BLM and WHM as I understand that many parties past level 32~33 are formed in jeuno and i'd like to be able to offer both other colored mage subs to parties.

I'll probably take both BLM and WHM to 33 outside of Kazham so i won't have to worry about them for a long while.

Hey my in game name is Elfmommy.

My main right now is a lvl 50 PLD. I LOVE MY JOB!

However, I have other jobs leveled as well, Thf 17, rdm, 10, mnk, 12, and of course war 32.

I also have all the advanced jobs unlocked except for SMN stipid fire and earth won't come out.

Anyway, about reading these posts and doing your job better...
Definately true for me, I have gained a lot of knowlege about PLD from here. But since I didn't know about this site with my War, I wish someone would have told me not to use S&S with my WAR. Now I have to skill up my axe/greataxe before I go back... ack!

But thanks to this site I have started to lvl my GS which is now lvl 60 and I plan on doing Staff next since I know I will need them. This site rocks and it really helps give people an idea of how to do a job or what we NEED and what is nice for a job.

Thanks to all those who post on the WAR & PLD forum!

Later,
Elfmommy

RDM is at 30 and my WHM sub is up to 16

I don't know if I will stick to that though. I am working on getting all the other jobs... though I'll hold off on SAM and NIN for a while.

I guess this is kinda on topic, but, I was searchin for a group in jeuno the other day, tryin to catch up to my static, and there was four plds lookin at my lvl range. I dunno if there has been a lotta pld love goin on lately, but man, back in the day I remember never seein a pld searchin. It really sucked because the ratio was like 4:0 with plds to rdm/whm. LOL, and they were all rank 5 also >.< I had nothin on um. Its all cool though because I got my party invite and got a lvl or two.

I have all the jobs with Kats, and have played all of them except for MNK, which I doubt I'd have a lot of fun as. BST is one that I tried but...well...wasnt fun at all since both me and Misaku got our asses handed to us by a carrion crow and a rarab when Charm wore off. >.>

yeah... PLD seems to be the new things. There are a few in my ls and they always mention there are a lot of PLDs around.

I'm trying to pick a job that there aren't too many of. I like RDM but there are tons of them.

Speaking of all this PLD love, is it me or is it getting harder to get an invite? I have now gone 2 days with no party.

Any thoughts?

Hi Elfmommy, I think we partied a bit a while ago.

As people reach genkai 1, more and more are forming static parties, so it's becoming harder to get into pick-up groups. Plus weekdays are hard to get higher level pick-up parties. I actually have a static for my PLD, but we haven't leveled in 5 weeks (vacations, hurricanes, farming, etc.), and I'm really missing PLD tanking. Best bet is to get the seek flag up early, set up a search comment, and maybe go farm or fish.

LOL, Elfmommy I have felt the pain as well. It seems like the new thing is NIN with JP players, and PLD with NA players. The plethora that are always out makes it hard to get parties. And the worst part, if you check the plds searching, at least 50% of them are underequipped or equipped with the wrong items, ie balanced rings instead of stamina rings...stuff like that. It just leads me to believe that people aren't playing pld out of love, but rather out of invites. They hated the lack of invites with one job so they moved onto a job that used to get a good amount of invites.

Well my name and levels are listed below. Obviously Drk is my main, which I just got in a static party with. So you'll probably see me running around now leveling my subs sub (nin) and my subs (war or thf) Or just running around in random places in a fury tryin to make that gil.

ATM you'll see me at Jugner fishing, or In Jueno wishing I could get a M6.1 or Genkai 3 done. My WHM needs leveling, which i plan to do this weekend. If you see me as any other job is will more then likely be beastmaster.
