Try every minute or so - in my experience over the various Betas, they tend to refresh pretty regularly. I think Andy got Sargatanas on the third attempt.Originally Posted by comma
If you're trying to avoid fairies, want to play as a DPS player and you don't want to start in Gridania, I'd start as a Pugilist (Monk) or a Thaumaturge (Black Mage). All the Arcanists (and therefore Scholars) will be in Limsa, Marauder is a tank job (it's still good at DPS, but you'll probably be expected to tank. The pure DPS jobs are Dragoon, Monk and Black Mage. Bard is what I would generally look at as a support job that still deals some good damage rather than a pure DPS.Now to the meat of it: I think I'd really like to end up with dragoon and bard jobs. I tried the different party roles and ended up feeling most comfortable as DPS. It's definitely less pressure than tank or healer. One thing I really wanted to avoid, though, was starting off in Gridania, because it was my least favorite area. So what is an archer/lancer/conjurer-job guy supposed to do? I think I'll just start off as a marauder in Limsa, get that level 15 requirement for dragoon, and continue on as a lancer after that. Then once I complete dragoon, I'd get back on the path to being a bard. And two jobs is probably the most I'm going to get out of the game before I get bored with it.
Let me know if I'm making a mistake anywhere. Is anyone else planning ahead like this?
If you dislike pressure, I'd go for Monk/Dragoon purely because Black Mages have the added pressure of not having much HP and when you're dealing with the likes of Ifrit, that can be rather stressful with the large scale AOE attacks and the fact that a player (ie, you) dies then Ifrit suddenly gets more powerful. So you'll have the pressure of staying alive. xD I don't know much about the differences between Monk and Dragoon.
