Oh, I just picked a random armor set in the creator that looked cool Though maybe I should--I played ranged magical DPS and healer in World of Warcraft, so maybe I should try a change?

sashagee keeps telling that black mages suck when I mention playing one, but as a former balance druid, a class being terrible is no impediment to me playing it! And FFXIV's ability to be every class on one character (as you say!) means if something is garbage and I hate it, I can just do something else.
