Which role is your worst?

I suck at WHM. im good with SCH though.
Mnk is annoying with loosing GL, so i don't play it nowdays, maybe in HW though.
otherwise i can do well as any role.

Oh I'm sure I'm equally terrible with all of them.

I can't tank or heal. To nerve wrecking to play as those. But, I feel right at home DPSing. Be on my main monk, ninja or spell slinging on my black mage or summoner. Oddly I tend to off heal more when I'm playing summoner or resurrection the party....sometimes even the healers. lol

To an extent, yes. But I know DPS who will eat AoEs on purpose and use their self-heals or pop Foresight. So even though they take a little bit of damage, with my Medica II running it's not even worth worrying about and they still get their positional off.

I see an AoE or know where it comes from and I'm like "+NOPE. I'MA DO ALL MY POSITIONALS ON CERB'S SIDE BECAUSE I'M SCARED. QwQ"

So it is kind of one of my flaws, lol.

Fair enough, though when I dps, I try not to make it worse on the heals and dodge. lol Dead dps = no dps. I'd rather lose a little dodging instead of risking a death that the heals have to worry about on top of healing tanks and dodging aoes, themselves. Being on the safe side is a good quality, is what I'm saying, not a flaw. :P

Caster DPS is my bane. After awhile I start to zone out on BLM, I haven't done SMN at high level yet so not sure there. Although even BRD seems to keep me more interested; since I'm keeping situation awareness for MP/TP on songs or even just placing flaming arrow is something different from rotation spam.

I don't like to heal. I have bad experiences with it in other games where it was unfun for me. I know it's much different here, but I still don't like it after trying it. I'm not really a fan of doing a role where the focus is to sustain the party, because I prefer the option of personally excelling. I like the idea of my own accomplishments bringing things over the top, and healing generally relies on making sure everyone else does that. Unless you, y'know, spam holy on trash hnnngh

It's also why I like crafting. It's a simple, personal thing to strive to be the best at.

on the other side, being healer in WoD, when no one in your party is taking damage, is boring as hell :) so i wish ppl would get hit on purpose QQ

I can do it all, but really don't care for FFXIV tanks :/ Sure I can do it just fine, I just don't like them. Well at least the current ones. I do want to test out drk ;)

And before anyone responds (...but you don't have tanks past such and such level, I play *8* characters and 2 of them are main tanks. One War main, 1 PLD main)

White Mage, Bard, Dragoon, Monk, Ninja, and Black Mage. I have them to 50, but don't play them. Best roles, in order of bestest to best, Paladin, Warrior, Scholar, Summoner, the only 4 jobs I play regularly. Adding Dark Knight to the list in less than a week.
