What do you look out for when main-ing a character/class/job?

I would love to say the reason my main is Aran is fun, and well it is kinda fun. But still the main reason is that all my equips and perma nx are there. Nowadays everything is untradeable and I'm just too lazy and poor to fund a new class.

As for mobility an survivability, yep, Aran really lacks there. Used to be average, but then everyone got a fj and we got tons of new jobs that of course have near to zero flaws. Good HP, godly dmg with tons of dmg lines, stat res, amazing mobility, amazing bossing, amazing mobbing, fast grinding.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Sometimes I feel like the new "strategic" bosses are only designed with newer jobs in mind.
