What is it about Kahzam...?

I hit level 29 on my RDM sub job last night. I actualy soloed straight to level 25. Well, there were a few impromptue duo levels mixed in to what i call solo.

But at level 25 i decided to try Kahzam. I was so bored of worms. 10 levels of soloing worms was starting to make me a bit stir crazy! But to go off on a tangent, i already see what people mean when they say how good RDM is at soloing. Its a beast! Flame Spikes, En- Spells, Regen, and mabey an enfeeble was all i needed to blow through 2-3 worms at 40-75 exp a peice before i had to recast (not rest mind you) I would get a nice 400 exp before i would have to do that.

Competition for worms, and the worms themselves, got old once i went off to try the same at Qufim. There were 2 parties exping on worms at the time. Thats 2 too many hehehe.

Once i got to Kahzam i threw up my party flag. Hell, im a mage! i should get good invites right? hehe, not necisarily. It took an hour and a half to get an exp party. Its a "good" thing my professors decided to give me HW/Tests to do over the holidays.... I guess.

I was kind of anxious to see how well my enfeebles would stick on EXP party quality enemies. I even grabed a somewhat underwhelming +20 MP in gear and some 99 stack ginger cookies, but mostly i was in solo gear. You know the +evasion +agil stuff that works nice on EP and DC enemies. Yet in an EXP they dont help at all! Yeah, that stuff.

At first i was backup healing/enfeebling. It was fun paralyzing, blinding, and slowing down a foe till it screamed. And after i built some confidence i was meleeing with the others. I was actualy in on the SC with a THF in party, and MBing my own SC's. That was fun as well.

But, i must say... after level 27 it already got old to me. Now it just feals like a grind. Yay, i paralyzed another mob... yay i blinded another mob. Woooohoooo lol. I supose its not any funner once RDM hits 41 either. Having people constantly ask for refresh. And it you get snippy about it they just kick you. I am glad I am only going to 37.

I started to feal the same way about WAR, NIN, and BLU when i was leveling those in Kahzam. I dont know why. That place just saps the fun right out of jobs for me. Like a giant leech!

Perhaps it is because by level 27 you expect more our of a job. Sure its just the begining of the road. However, I get impatient about this sort of thing. Maybey its that i see the goal and its relatively close, yet still a foreboading amount of exp away. Maybey its because I have already religated it to a subjob in my mind.

Its most likely a combination of all three of those issues. On the bright side i remember fealing the exact same way with NIN. And i love to sub that now. I suspect ill find equal enjoyment in /RDM.

After all, I cant tell you how many pld's out there have told me /RDM was made for PLD. And how its the only way to solo. And i am inclined to agree from what i see while soloing w/o phalanx and stoneskin yet. I shall see.

At the very least itll be damn fun to walk into besieged and piss off some mnk or blu lol.
