I'm appreciative of all the helpful and comedic responses. Thought I'd give a little update to the progress.
I love Saarebas. The combinations feel great, and even though it can be awkward it's like playing battle chess. I've been promoting away and have used a combination of Reaver, Saarebas, and Archer for an impressive 7 whole promotions. I have Drakescale for all my casters now and some okay ish gear, but it's still rough sometimes. I can solo Threatening consistently and group up for Perilous and hold my own, but progress is progress so I'm just putting my head down and getting stuck in.
Really enjoying the experience though and those I've run into in the community have been kind and welcoming. My next goal is easing into perilous and buying chests by the boatload. So more promotions ahead but I will say, it's difficult to get rogue promotions vs warrior or mage ones. Might be a gear issue or a skill issue. Guess as long as I'm moving forward though that's the important thing.

What is your playstation name?
I'm Clockwork-Crow and she is Eorzean Queen, I'll get on her about branching out to play with helpful souls (she is afraid of letting people down)
Like Silversmurf you may also add me. I typically have a crew of about 3 to 5 people i always play with, but if you catch me during the day (im on AZ Time) then you might be able to get me in a game simply by inviting me or joining in on me since my crew has work and doesn't hop on till later at night.
Sounds good, I run odd times as I'm in NZ ATM with family. DAMP is my new quality time with her. It'd be great to link up.
