Dragoon is easy? Since when?
Bard has always been the only dps that I consider 'easy', and even they got more difficult with the release of HW.

The cast time for songs is a pain, yes, I will give it that. Now, if you're only counting dealing with mechanics of certain fights then certainly MCH will have an edge on the cast times there, but then as BRD you're not supposed to be using WM when you're moving and while you lose 30% damage you make up for a portion of it by being able to attack faster (I know it's not a 1:1 recovery, but it's still not a total loss). WM was always meant to be played as a 'when you have the chance' mode. Now if you put BRD and MCH on dummies with no mechanics, it's harder to say which one will do better flat out... personally I've never made the comparison with equivalent gear, which is why I said I don't have the numbers, but to me they feel about even on most standard fights.
But yes, once again, any class you play to start off won't play well and mechanics will muddy the waters even more.
Play Miner, doesnt get any easier
BLM is only easy pre-Enochian/pre-60. Once you get your lvl 60 rotation figured out, you get to play a little game called "Beat the Enochian Clock" and another one of my favorites, "Don't Lose Enochian While Dodging Mechanics"... fun times.
It's not anywhere close to the hardest at 60, by 50 most players will be in the "zone" mentally when doing rotations and weaving and fire iv bliz, the only time it becomes "hard" and it's due to the nature of both blm and brd now, is that moving and timing your moves between dodging and mechs CAN cut down on your dps, outside of this factor blm is hands down one of the easiest jobs to play with rotation.
Any range job that has to move will face this issue.
Nin is perhaps the easiest imo.
I thought this thread title was a joke, lol, the amount of QQing and people running to SMN after BLM was updated says otherwise for "easy" In fact, there you go, smn is probably the easiest job to play IMO, but unless you actually played BLM, you would understand it's no where near easy.
There will always be the try hard people who will say "lulz, none of the jobs are hard rofl" but they most likely don't do anything outside of Dailies.
Monk is incredibly easy. lol
I don't know where the whole "monk is harder than most classes" idea came from. The way the job works makes it so it's actually hard to press the wrong buttons because many of your main moves can only be executed in the proper stance. (e.g. Twin Snakes, True Strike, Snap Punch, Demolish...etc.)
Black Mage is not easy if you're trying to be an awesome Black Mage and keep Enochian up at all times. Black Mage is only easy if you want to be sub-par at your job.
Scholar and Summoner FTW.
