being able to change ur avatars or elementals might actually make me go smn but blm is too good of a job to pass up =P
Heh, as I thought myself... till I retired my blm at 46 once my lvl 20 smn had a capped skill and was taking on the solo avatar battles. After I got my avatars, the job increased 10x in enjoyment... tho I may go back to blm some day... it probably won't be anytime soon. Infact, I think my smn will be the first job I have that will be able to make use of my lvl 51 elemental staves. Dunno, just enjoy playin with the pets... especially putting them on an Easy Prey, watching them drain half my mp and survive the battle. As a lvl 34 blm, Easy Prey would drain 70-80% of my mp and nearly kill me in the process... SMN is like a gimped bst that can recall pets when ever mp is present... in the fact they both can use pets repeatedly whereas a drg looses his/her two hr when their wyvern dies.
This is why you'll see bst's or smn's sitting far away from a battle as their pet does all the work... you'll rarely see a drg do that (saw one this weekend in Ordelle's when doing RSE tho). I do like the fact that, as a bst, you can rest while your pet is in battle. If smn had that ability, we'd be lethal.
