So, I'm picking Global up again.

basically, they're both rather bad characters. making a complete new character using the funds from both is actually your best option, considering:

101 base dex on a crusader does not compute, even with a decent 2H sword it'd be weak as pumpernickel.

the hermit wouldn't have to do much trouble to wear regular dex stuff, and considering not alot of people are regular dex, it'd be cheaper.

basically, just pick whichever you like playing, considering if you cared about damage you wouldn't continue with either.

The problem with that is I've gone through several dozen characters since I started playing (back around early beta times). I've made just about every job up to 4X and could only find the patience to level Assassins/Hermits and Fighters/Crusaders. I'd rather not remake one of those jobs when I already have two higher leveled ones. I don't care about damage, tbh. My only real goal is to get to 100, and when I eventually get to that point, I'll decide whether I want to continue onto 120 and beyond.

Do you plan reaching 4th job? If you do I'd play the crusader because they are a great class in 4th, otherwise I'd play the hermit.

I'd like to, yes.
