dnc or drg

[rdyzz]

i came back after quiting for awhile. i gave my old char away to friends. anyways since im mainly on playing now due to boredom. atm i only play about 1hr or so. im wondering if i should level drg or dnc both seem fun. my mains on my lat char where nin and mnk with rdm at 75.

play style,
as rdm i was not a soloer, mainly endgame support. as a only rdm in a lowman dynamis ls i was able to keep all mobs slept. not much of an acheivement but somthing i notice some other rdms not being able to focus on so well. as nin i have solo'ed flowers in sea, solo campaign mobs, bring charybidis to 15% before he went ape sh!t. basically just solo anything and everything i could on nin. as mnk i solo'ed anything i could imps and such. i like to solo alot is guess is the jist of it.

drg looks interesting and so does dnc which matches my playstyle most from those of you that got them to 75.

i would love to do nin again but do not have the time to get all the gear my old char had. btw i do not intend to play endgame this time just have fun.

Drg is pathetic don't waste your time with it. That job is terrible, and shouldn't even be considered in exp party / endgame situations.

i would lvl drg

DRG is decent for bird merits.

StanDarsh's sarcasm may not have been entirely evident.

DRG is a fine job, and is a respectable damage-dealing job at just about every level. It may be easier to get leveling parties to 75, since the most popular (highest exp/hour) camps involve piercing-weak Colibri.

DNC also has piercing-type damage with its daggers, but it certainly falls into a support role moreso than damage-dealing role. This can change at 75 with a combination of very good gear and the right merits, but it takes a good bit of time and effort. DNC also sees a lot of utility as a support job, so the time used to take it to 37 would be far from wasted, even if you choose to leave it there.

I'd recommend trying both and seeing which one suits you better.

Man.. how far we've come

I agree with Nyosan there. I've leveled both jos, my DNC being 75, DRG 60 now. DNC was hard in the sense invites could be reall slow at 60+, being people would obviously want a DD over a support, and plus, you could have a BRD or COR over a DNC anyday. I leveled DNC more so o have fun with it, but dont be discouraged just due to a low invite rate. If you're looking for faster invites, and a job that can pump out a lot of damage, though, I' go with DRG.

Yes indeed.

I feel the same way about SAM.

When I made the push to 75, the last job ability SAM got was Meditate at 30. This was before Zanshin, Hasso/Seigan, Sekkanoki, Overwhelm, and the 2-Hand bonuses to ATT/ACC.

I'd occasionally get a merit invite if all of the MNKs and WARs were already partying, and someone felt like giving out a pity invite. I hated subbing /NIN, 'cause it meant losing Sneak Attack or Berserk/Double Attack, and the huge damage boost given by /THF or /WAR.

How much things have changed since then, eh?
