Bandwagon
I didn't have a chance to play last night because the update took me so long to download. By the time it was done I didn't feel like playing. Both of my laptops kept saying between five and ten hours to complete downloading despite reconnecting both of them multiple times. After awhile I just gave up and let them chug away. In the past an update this size has taken between one and two hours for me.
From the sounds of it I didn't miss much other than price gouging on deathstones. I have a couple deathstones kicking around, but I probably missed out on the best profit from them. Apparently a great deal of Aht Urhgan content was broken by this update. Gears and some chariots were screwed up in Salvage. With restorals giving back all missing hp and discoids being equivalent to 55000 needles. People wanted more difficult Salvages, so here is their reward.
Out of everything that has been revealed and discovered about scholar and dancer the more popular job seems to be dancer. People seem to be generally disappointed with the spell list and abilties of scholar. They compare it to a weaker black mage. The job intrigues me, but I do not intend to put any effort into it while I am afraid I may have to solo a mage job.
Dancer sounds like a lot of fun. Originally I was hoping that it would turn out to be the reject job of Wings of the Goddess. Fewer people would play it and I would get to be more unique as one of the few dancers roaming Vana'diel. But instead I have decided to give the job a try and face the eventually overpopulated solo spots in hopes of pulling out 75 dancer in a decent amount of time.
This could be just the job I have wanted for the smaller content stuff I often do, but my greatest fear is that I will never or rarely have a chance to use it. While the job seems to have great potential I do not see myself being able to put it to proper use. I suspect my red mage will always be better when I trio things or I am needed for support and my black mage will be better because it is pretty well equipped. We'll see. I'll be leveling it along with everyone else, hopefully I don't become disenchanted with the job and lose interest to pursue other things in the game.
