Class suggestion?Follow

I know selecting classes is very much personal preference, but I'm torn on what to use as my strategy.

I almost always gravitate towards magic and support classes and in 1.0 I played THM, but never really got into it (Only level 15). With XI,I really enjoyed BRD for boosting party members and helping out with mobs. I'm considering CNJ so I can be support healing, but I'm worried about soloing with that if I use it as my main class. I still like the idea of going Bard, but not really interested in Archer, although in ARR, BRD seems to be very much damage dealing with some enhancement

Any other thoughts or things to consider when picking my primary class I'll be going to 50 with? I'm going to be slightly more than casual hopefully, but not planning on 50 for every class, so trying to plan out my primary and 1 or 2 secondary classes.

Have you readd anything about the arcanist class yet? It sounds to me like the scholar job from that class might be right up your alley.

I haven't really looked into Arcanist, but will now!

I'm having trouble finding much information about it other than it has Carbuncle. Could someone post a few quick links regarding the style and skills?

First of all, Conjurer reports so far for ARR are that the class is incredibly solo friendly. I have a 50 CON from 1.0, and even in the Phase 3 beta I had more than enough offensive spells to hold my own. If you enjoy healing, I suggest starting as a Conjurer, and then dabbling in Scholar. Those are the two classes that will Queue as Healers in the Duty Finder.
