I would love to try to join in, but I fear I'm nowhere near the right level. What are the level requirements? Right now the highest job I have is Scholar, and not likely to level up another job high enough to participate any time soon.
Heh. 90 is widely considered minimum for T5. Just saying.
Amusingly, and for perhaps the first time in mmo history, we're healer heavy and wanting for DPS.
I'm given to understand Lynda is SCH, and Dylan would like to play SCH. Kevin is SCH/WHM. I'm BRD. Das is SMN. Markus is NIN. Allison is WAR. Michael is WAR/PLD. Out of 8 players, that leaves us with 3 heals, 3 DPS, and 2 tanks.
My DRG still needs a couple thousand soldiery worth of gearing - I think I left her at 78 - but is by far the closest to i90. ultimately I want to use BLM or SMN - and I see Das got to SMN first… so..
*20ish minutes of research*
Yeah, okay, I can play DRG. BLM seems to ramp faster overall, and I prefer ranged due to its tactical robustness - but I've read a thread or two to the effect that BLM is a dps loss over pretty much everything except, er.. *cough*
Anyway, I'll try it both ways in the long run, but for the foreseeable future I'll bring DRG to whatever raids we're able to plan.
Planning alert: Thursdays have been getting pretty busy for me. I have to withdraw my earlier remark about being able to make those work, if we're starting as late as 7 - because when I look back it seems like I'd be a HUGE flake trying to raid on top of all the other stuff that comes up on those evenings. Tuesday's my most solid day out of the days considered.
I think that's everything. Apologies for the wall of text, guys.
…and BRD!Maqa had better leave your old hunter in the dust. >:3 Show those theorycrafters what's up.
Haha. Hunter is a straight DPS class, and BRD is a support class at its core. I'll try, but no promises - might be some serious game balance limitations.
Good to know you can't make Thursday, Dylan. I'm open Mon-Thu, really. I prefer to have a day between raids. Mon/Wed, anyone?
Potential group: Xail - PLD/WAR Allison - WAR Lynda - SCH Kevin - WHM Das - SMN Markus - NIN Me - BRD Dylan - DRG
