Which DPS is the most Fun to play?

[Adventica6]

lol at mudra lag, it's not actually lag... if you read the skill it has a .5 sec gcd between each mudra, spamy kids will lock themselves out, it's actually pretty funny people call it lag when it's not. I mess up my mudra Rarely hardly ever, so dont avoid ninja, avoid mch.

SMN master race.

Can't you just make a Ninja mudra macro? Like if the stupid "mudra lag" is really bugging you...........

Like

/ac chi
/wait 0.5
/ac chi
/wait 0.5
/ac chi
/ac mudra

(????? I just typed this idk if it works in game or what it does)

I think NIN and DRG are the most fun. SMN is also a nice choice on the casting side of things. It's one of those classes where you can DoT everything up and kind of just watch everything die at once. That's fun.

MNK and BLM just feel less fun to play since you're focusing on your own timers / where you're standing about as much as what the boss is doing. Maybe after MCH and BRD are fixed they'll be more fun to play, but caster stance and lower DPS aren't fun things.

Uhm, unless you have glass fiber, you will notice a difference in how fast you can chain 3 mudras in a solo quest instance compared to an S rank with a hundred people around you. It's no excuse to mess up the combo but it does make it clip into your next GCD.

If your latency doesn't neatly and reliably fit into those 0.5 second windows, the system becomes slow and unpredictable. Personally, I can't play ninja seriously because the mudra timing is essentially random and I can't avoid wasting time clipping into my other skills. It only feels fluid during off-peak hours.

The /wait command only works with whole seconds so it will round up to the next whole number making a Mudra macro very inefficient over the length of a fight.

Well I just tried rogue, Got it to level 19. It definitely is fun and fast. Even at low levels. It definitely feels nice to Goad Warriors and other DPS Classes as well. Especially knowing how much freedom It gives them the story quest is fun too.

I'm going to try the Pugilist soon. I Just wish I Could "Erase" my levels gained on it so I could play it from level 1. I forgot what the story was about. Except maybe that I had to go around and punch dummies. :3

Stick with Nin. It's complex without being punitive, especially with the addition of Armor Crush post-50.

Dragoon is equally as complex as Nin at 60, but really suffers during disconnects from the boss. As an i180 DRG with my Hive Weapon I've come to almost loath the class despite the kind of dps it can pump out (Best in the game in the right hands).

Monk is probably the simplest of the 3 despite it's numerous positional requirements. At first they seem quite daunting but ultimately it boils down to Flank-Flank-Back, Back-Back-Flank while watching your Demolish/Touch of Death DoT and maintaining Greased Lightning. Post 50 you'll need to manage Chakra during your downtime, and get familiar with breaks in a fight so you can maximize Tornado Kick. Monk can be pretty frustrating at times as well since most scripted fights will make you drop Greased Lightning stacks and tank your dps for a bit.

Monk is my favourite. The rotation isn't a long pre-memorized string (which I hate doing), and it involves a lot more fluidity and little optimizations. I also enjoyed Bard quite a bit for its fluidity and reactivity.

That said though, the most 'fun' is entirely dependant on your style.
