I must say that I'm enjoying the game right now. Got My SAM to 75. Did plenty of campaign in doing so and am 3/4 the way through the ranks. SAM/WHM seems to work best, as having access to buffs and reraise is invaluable in campaign.
One thing that does piss me off a bit is the people who spend the whole battle casting BRD songs making no effort to contribute to the battle. I can see SE doing something about this very quickly.

My social LS seems to be going well. I'd recommend anyone who wants a LS of skilled people , who love to help to come join us. It has also been great to see some of my oldest friends join the LS. Here is a pic of a recent get together in Jeuno.

Been doing a lot of meriting on my WAR just now (SAM needs it's stuff..) MY WAR kicks a lot of arse just now. I'm always fine tuning things - macros, equip, food etc. Every detail counts. Hoping that Askar body (When I get it) will be a plus. If not the 'ol' Hauberk +1 will do it's usual fantastic job.
