Absolutely new to game... Need opinions on Job
So, tell me, what are your opinions on the pros/cons of each job???? I played a ranger for the longest time on EQ, but I am not attached to the class/job/whatever. Trying to decide on what to play in FFXI....

I am liking being a Thief. I plan on doing a Thief/Ninja combo. But things may change because my friend decieded to be a Red Mage, and I duo with him all the time. So i might level a secondary job to play with him, like a Monk or Warrior, and switch to Thief when I'm not with him.
Thieves just simply ain't good when it comes to tanking. It's not to say we're bad and can't tank, but major pita, that's all. I like all the skills we have. It feels like an interesting class to play, and hopefully even more so when I can sub-job a Ninja.
Ninja's can gain TP fast and do great damage. They can also dual-wield. So Dual Wield + Triple Attack in mainhand, Sneak attack etc etc is awesome.
But admittedly, I am mainly playing it because it just sounds awesome. I mean, DUDE! Ninja! That's just freaking awesome no matter how you look at it.

Yep, the class design points that way too. Thankfully, as you gain power, you can solo weaker mobs still worth xp, unlike EQ where a monster became killeable for a rogue levels after it was worth any xp. Thieves are very, very much a support class, but we are an ass kicking support class.
