Regarding all DPS rotations

It feels like there's maybe 2 or 3 dps that are enjoyable to play this expac, a lot of them got changes that are incredibly stupid and make me wonder why they made these changes.

Red Mage is soooooooo good. I honestly think it got the most positive changes out of all of them. RDM is very different from it's slower ShB version. I would even suggest it's no longer the "easy" caster or job now that they've removed almost all meaningful punishing mechanics from other jobs and there are jobs like Summoner.

i have to agree strangely enough. RDM feels so much more rewarding than smn and there's actual optimization

Samurai feels amazing. It was great in shb and only got better in end walker.

All they'd need to do to fix it is extend the range of the continuations. 5-7y would be fine.

Three cartridges is kind of a pain. Things would definitely be nicer if it were back to 2.

Thanks everyone! I picked red mage and I'm really enjoying it! Out of every DPS I've tried, I have easily the most comfortable hotbar load out Ive ever had now.

The job is simple to learn, but feels like it doesn't have a super low skill ceiling.
