Re: Need some advice
If you don't want to go into healing primarily, you'll never get a mage job to 75 faster than you will MNK. RDM is expected to heal a lot, and generally its nukes are a waste of MP. Nukers are rarely desired in parties anymore; BLMs solo to 75 nowadays through various techniques. SCH is better at nuking given /BLM (or, later, /RDM) for Magic Attack Bonus, but is more likely to be called in for healing purposes, particularly in the end; still, as a SCH you're more likely to get away with nuking on the side than as a RDM, and you could even get invites to actually nuke (on the assumption that you'll also be able to help heal).

Thus, if you don't like healing and want to get to 75 fast, mage jobs probably aren't the way to go. -- Pteryx
