Hmm if lfp is a concern then jobs i'd reccommend becuase of high invite rate are Pld,Sam,rdm,brd.

Every job has its plus points, personally I dont like pet jobs but love tanking and just fell in love with sam so people will probably suggest a variety of jobs.

Probably a good idea to think about your playing style to find a job you will enjoy: Do you enjoy healing? Do you enjoy tanking? Do you enjoy soloing? Maybe read up on the jobs on ffxiclopedia or something to see if anything interests you.

Hope you find something, good luck :)

Correction: BST is the "pimp soloer".
Real Correction: Have BST and RDM at 75 if you want to be really be a "Pimp" soloer.

If all you want is to get to 75 fast, go BRD. took me less than 2 weeks lv 1-75. If you'd rather do something you think is fun, (like thf?)it takes longer but you get more out of it. thf was my first job to 75 and it took me forever, but i enjoyed playing it back then. And you dont HAVE to sit around a lfp, you can make your own pt's. Sometimes ppl just seem lazy, rather sit and lfp 2 days straight than see whats out there and make their own. If you lv THF you'd have a nice boost on the DEX as well, beeing a mithra. good luck

I'm finding DNC a lot of fun at the moment,the class is so versatile :) They can tank,damage deal,and main heal depending on gear set ups. All the +Evasion and +Accuracy gear can be a bit expensive though depending on your World's economy/AH prices.

If you EVER want to use another job.. don't level brd. You'll be stuck on it for 99.7% Of events. Its a fun job, but its rather frustrating always being on it.

XD i assumed id be on bard 24/7 for endgame events, its a given, also as for the makeing parties, i swear to god, somehow, everyone knows when im trying to make a party and theres either no tank or no mage healing class lol. bard isnt that bard, always busy it seems, better then standing there smacking at things i would presume >.> well see how it goes

Which role u wanna play????

Healer??? Level WHM highest Invite rate ever

You want to Nuke and Heal then Level RDM or SCH=>
I personelly enjoy to play SCH in EXP partys and im only 10% Main Healer 10% Support and 80% Nuker to Level 60 and the Spells are Cheap.

All Jobs are good but u need to find out which job u enjoy to play........

That stops in Aht Urgan XD

With Level Sync now though WHM can get invites a lot faster, I just normally made my own PT's as WHM ><

Bard does a surprisingly good job at meleeing XD

Not something I'd recommend in a PT, but outside a PT it's not bad.

Get a Joyeuse, a dagger (I use Heart Snatcher because I'm cheap >.>) and you're set! Few choice pieces of ACC+ gear and Haste+ and you'll hold your own better than any WAR thanks to Lullaby, Songs and Elegy!

I myself go for fun factor in a job, whatever fits your personality and makes yourself feel very useful, i myself go for the multitasking jobs like PUP, SCH, and COR those jobs are very fun to play as because NO MATTER what people say those jobs WILL fit into just about any situation you'll need.

Yes PUP, people say lolpup but screw them it shows their ignorance to the job itself. Being able to self skill chain for 2800+ dmg and then magic burst your own skill chain for more then the black mages do with AMII with no MP makes everyone turn thier head.

I to am leveling Dancer like Shayala, but as for a subjob only for my Sam, to play around with. Wikia and a few other places I have read says that if you play Nin as a primary job with DNC as a sub, you can pretty much solo anything with the right gear ( and I do mean certian gods..if you can.. Don't quote me.. I'm not here posting this to get flamed, could have misread, I'm only hume!)

But its all what you feel like doing. Freemdom is the best thing about this game... and its all about fun as well! =D
