The Pimp Feels Gimp

The downside of listing your possible subjobs in a search comment is they might actually ask you to use one you don't want. Such was the case today when I got a party invitation and the leader said "Come /NIN."

I still love fighting birds.
wasn't really in the mood to party. I've been sleeping poorly the past few nights and was on the verge of logging out for a nap. Instead, I headed for Whitegate so we could fight colibri out by the Ley Point. The setup was PLD, DRG, SMN, BRD, MNK and DNC. It worked out nicely, although the Summoner grumbled about being asked to main heal and then being told to back off a little so the Paladin could cure himself for hate. I laughed a little, because it's just the sort of thing a healer has to get used to.

I felt kinda gimpy as /NIN, since I had no Double Attack or Berserk at my disposal, but I guess it was for the best. We only stopped once or twice so people could use the bathroom or get drinks, but mostly it was constant pulling for Chain 5.

It didn't take long for me to ding 57, so I swapped out the Jaridah Peti for my Scorpion Harness. I'm about 5k away from hitting 58 and being able to wear my Dragoon AF body piece, so I'll be focusing on that this week. I'd really like to hit 60, but it depends on parties.
