Jobs you love and the negatives about them.

[Ultima]

DRG is my main and was my first love. What do I dislike ? How damn frail the wyvern is ! BLM is now my 2nd favorite..just pure awesomeness. DRK is at 70 now and is my new work in progress.

Monk

Negative: No crit hit Kick Based weapon skill.

SE really seems to have been pushing Footwork into use a while ago, but with Abyssea, crit hit WS's are pretty important when dealing dmg. Due to my Unrsine +2 (2-4 hit h2h) having +0 dmg on it, I would like to be able to use crit hit ws with my feet which uses +58 weapon. Not dissimilar to a rng using a KC, but having a high dmg bow for WSing.

I love playing as my Dragoon, and I can't see any real... reason... BLUTKRALLE! STOP GETTING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA!!
Jager dismisses Blutkralle.
/sigh

I swear. I love the guy, but his wings flapping in my face makes me really dizzy some days. And I'm not much of a first person viewer. But uh. I guess all I can really complain about Dragoon itself is that it lacks a decent AoE weaponskill. Sonic Thrust is great, don't get me wrong. But I feel I can do more with a more powerful sweep action.

/demonstrates a mediocre sweeping action.
I haven't really gotten a feel on the move yet.

Oh yeah, and Blutkralle's Healing Breath. I may just be complaining that I don't have my Wyrm Armet yet, but I think he's lacking in more potential.

@ the lol pup comments:

I hate the job because I feel its a bit more forced on us by SE ( pup stuff always seem to drop more, always gets tossed and so on)

I hate how the animation for pup job ability sounds/ looks like mob 2 HR, it creeps me out and im always looking for a NM when I hear it.

I like BLU, SAM, RNG, SCH ( I sent a lot of suggestions back in the day that SCH has now so i feel like I invited most of the job) PLD, WAR, DRG, THF...
I think I like all the jobs in its own way cept maybe DRK and pup, and the reason I do not like DRK is because of the current state of the job is.

PUP just does not suit me, I do not like how the AI functions.

I'm a big BST fan but left it alone for awhile i love its solo capabilities but lately it was kinda looked over the pet food buff in HP is nice now make it stack pet food to 99 and lets see the fun begin

[Dragonlord]

Main job: drg
Dislikes: i second the motion that the wyvern dies too easily. And therefore the new jumps become a lot weeker. Which leads to less tp gained. DRG's tp gain is what really makes it a fun DD to me nowadays.

dnc dislikes: waltz timers... 'nuff said XD

[Ezikiel]

On a side note is possible to restrict MNK kick attacks while user is wearing a subligar?

[Ica]

Job I love: WHM.

Negative: I'm never on anything else in events. :3

Sane here Ica lol. Although since I have leveled up MNK I am on it less. But for along while I couldn't get off of it to save my life lol.

BLM was my first job. ATM it is my worst geared job though lol. A lot of power in a tiny taru. Downside I don't get to Magic burst as much as I used to.

DNC is awesome but, I have to agree that the timers for waltz's suck.

PUP is very underestimated. I do have to agree with the OP on this one.

SMN is the job I wanted to level when I started. I don't get to play it as often as I would like. For most end game its limited to buffers.

MNK is a job I have fallen in love with. Other then its kick attacks being not as good as I would want I am good.

SAM I am still learning the ropes. Thanks to all my SAM friends that have to put up with my questioning lol.

This is a problem in all MMORPGs Rocman. People have a tendancy to generalize things and eventually they stick, often times ignoring the hidden strengths a lot of jobs can bring to a group if played correctly. It can be frustrating - but now that exp is so easily soloed on this game it's not the hindrance it once was.

Key is just group with your friends. Best way to avoid having to deal with ignorant biases.

Quoted for frackin Truth.

All my years of playing MMOs people usually like the Cookiecutter jobs. Never giving the unique ones a try.

PUP is great, my only issue is the automaton can sometimes be vindictive and wants to kill its owner for no reason at all and lacks a better AI.

My favorite job is DNC, I love it, my problems with it is Waltz Recast timers suck so much it hurts and Magic is like Cryptonite (SP?) But I guess that goes for most jobs as well.
