      maybe because ur sub is sam... subbing sam before 60 doesn't really have a point. try war or thf.

      and the bottom line is, why don't u be a leader and form a party on ur own? don't wait to be picked, pick one. :spin:

        yeah man hate to inform you but sam makes a pretty worthless sub untill your main is 60 and gains benefit from meditate..

        meditate and tp growth are the reasons same makes such a wonderfull sub and it's kinda ho hum without it..



        couple suggestions..

        i'm fairly well known by ppl in my lvl range as an expert puller, 2nd hand tank, and good dmg dealer...

        make yourself well known and pick up these traits...
        you really need to make some friends that will say hey invite that mnk i pt'd with him last night and he's awsome

        and you also need to be doing the same to others


        get into an ls that's in your lvl range...
        that's more possibility for pt invites

        and lastly go with a realistic sub that you know will get you where you wanna go...

        for gaining xp that sub needs to be either war, or thf in the mid 30's range and frankly you don't have too much choice untill 60

        i know do what you want blah blah don't play cookie cutter but if you want pt invites you need to take this advice

        and if it makes you feel better following my own advice never really makes it that hard for me to find a pt, even tho i will still claim that mnks are under-rated on these forums

          Your best bet is to get into a good linkshell with people near your level range. Second, try to make friends with people like PLD's or WHM's (regular PT starters). Right now, at 42, I do about the same DMG over time as a DRK, and parties are saying, "Hmm, Monk isn't bad I haven't seen many they're pretty rare." They'll get to know your name, and be suggesting you to parties. I get no trouble finding any party that has a spot for a damage dealer.

            this has been discussed in this forum, but for some unknown reasons many ppl consider MNK to be some 2nd rank dmg dealer, that isn't worth inviting into a party. and at the same time, think DRK to be far better than MNK.

            i can assure u, however, such isn't true at all. especially w/ Raging Fists at 41, MNK will outdamage DRK in most cases, until DRK gets Guillotine at 60, or Rampage at 56.

            but at the same time, as long as many still think that way, MNK will get less invites, and that's so sad.

              i think raging fists is so raved about that mnks don't have trouble getting pt's past 41 till drg's get penta thrust and drk's get guiliteen

              but that's just my speculation

                I'm about 10-20k short of the 1,000,000 gil mark spent on gear. I've been waiting for invite for the past 3.5 hours.

                It never gets easy to get a group as a damage dealer, period. There will always be more damage dealers than there are tanks and support classes, simply because there are more jobs lumped into the damage dealer category than there are into support and tanks.

                Couple this with the fact that the few support classes that do exist are snatched up immediately for groups, and thus level quicker than everyone else, and then hit the max level and stop playing support...well, you get the general idea.
