BLM as a first

Re: BLM as a first

as you get harder.

Freudian slip! I caught it! :D

All I can say is that if you enjoy playing BLM it won't seem that hard at all. If it's a job you truly don't like it will seem endless and near impossible to level. So just go with what you enjoy. I know lots of people who leveled BLM first - even after they had to solo all the time - and they still love it.

I think he may has also said that because i'm pretty sure spells get pricey over time, more than it would cost for a melee job. Blm is fun, and it seems like thay are always needed later on for events!

Re: BLM as a first

As a Taru, I started with BLM. Funny enough, I didn't use a weapon until I leveled whm when I hit 18 BLM. It was tough but it gets easier when you party.

He also might have been refering to how much harder it is to get a party as you get harder. This is due to the current Melee burn mentality on all the servers. Do not be disheartened, keep playing blm and feel free to ask questions. It also helps to find some likeminded friends on your server to party with as well.

BLM is kinda rough to get started on from about 1-9ish, especially as a taru. There's no PROBLEM with doing it first, it's just much much easier to level pretty much any other job first, and then do it once you have another job at a higher level (with an unlocked subjob and such)

Re: BLM as a first

Some people tend to find caster jobs harder to start with if they've never played them before. That's all.

Somebody was talking to me last night, and saw that I was a BLM.
This person also new that I was new to the game.
I believe he laughed a little bit...Then said "Good luck with BLM as a first job".

Can anyone tell me why he might have said that?
I'm enjoying the job very much so far, even though I'm only at 10.
Have a I made a mistake in choosing it as my first job?
