Melee DPS, in general. Because I admit I'm not so good predicting or getting a feel when a boss is going to turn around & I've always preferred ranged oriented jobs. NIN is the only exception to this because the flexibility they have with their mudra AND simple enough positional for my muscle memory to take hold on to.
DRK. Being somebody who first adores WAR of all tanks, touching DRK afterward left a bad taste cause "oh it's just WAR's clone but with more button to press.". If I were to start from DRK, I probably would feel something similar to DRK. Also because they're too edgy in aesthetic for my taste. For the same reason, upcoming Reaper might suffer from similar distaste, too. But I digress until I actually seen and experience it myself.
MCH. I have unfriendly ping and this should explain everything. ;_;

I don't play WHM, BRD, DNC or SCH very much as I dislike their aesthetics. Everything else appeals to me to various degrees.

DRK. I loved Blood Death Knight in WoW so I thought I'd love DRK, but it's just the other tanks but slightly worse. The inferior but "fine" tank. More work for the same or less reward. LD as an invuln for tankbusters is healer griefing when they could have had a WAR, PLD or GNB. TBN is outdated and now the other 3 have their own versions which are much easier to use and cost no resource. Salted Earth is just a DoT but worse. The class had bad self-heal and the others are getting more self-heal in Endwalker. Why do they unlock Dark Missionary and their aoe combo so late? Such a disappointment.
Also BLM. I love BLM, it's a perfectly designed class, but I'll freely admit I can't wrap my head around it. I'm a terrible BLM. But I'm glad it exists at the same time.

WHM - the effect of Holy triggers major headaches for me. I've turned everyones but my own effects down to "limited" so I dont see it when other people cast it - I dont want to turn down my own effects, though (and I'm to lazy to switch them on and off depending on whether I'm playing WHM or not).
Other than that I'm not a huge fan of the whole melee-dps-concept in general - or of healing anything more difficult than an alliance raid.
-
Tank or healer jobs just have never appealed to me. I quit playing a healer in my DAoC days. Tank I just never liked in any game. I prefer ranged or casters. Hard to find a good archer class in any game. Either they are to vulnerable or they start off good but soon get nerfed.

I usually play a bit of everything but here are the ones that I like the least atm:
- BLM stressed me out with no end... not sure if it's the enochian timer or not since Dragoon has a similar one and it didn't feel as stressful at all... Maybe the stylish jumping distracted me from all the stress lol
- I'd never main Bard either as half of the time I forgot to use those songs - oops! (and I generally don't play bow users in games)
- I mained Samurai before but now they have so. many. buttons.... I could never play it again in such an optimal way as I used to... I have 2 hands and 10 fingers not 32
- As for Paladin, I really really like the Holy Knight asthetic even back then in 2.0 but something is just bothering me with their playstyle and the worst part is I don't even know what it is
-
I haven't touched BLM, SAM and MNK ever since I finished leveling em. Just lazy to learn a proper rotation, I guess. NIN feeds my need to be busy just enough.
-
Ill never touch warrior.
To dumb brute for me.
I agree bard theme is really messy.
The next expansion should make current bard a ranger and we should get a bard caster class
-
BLM I never play because I find the combo of high ping+tight timers= frustration. Nevermind constantly spamming firaja
I stopped healing because all 3 healers are braindead slapping glare/broil/malefic over and over and over and over and over... and my cards noct sect and time magic were removed, fairy crippled and elements
Don't play warrior or mch anymore because once again, they are jobs with no depth and spamming 1 button repeatedly. Also animations suck
I stopped with Drk because it turned into warrior
I dont play bard because its support is just a pretty effect rather than anything meaningful I can see.
smn is also a no go since they deleted my carbuncle :(
The others I play adhoc. I don't really have a main because everything's so simple and homogenised in shb and doesn't look like it will be any better in EW. Where's my resource management jobs SE? Everything's on a timer or rotation now.
-
ninja because of the ninjitsu and how punishing it is if you mess up a key press. also the playstyle isn't my cup of tea. also scholar and probably sage, when I heal I prefer to just heal up my party members health bars not have to mess around with buffs and shields.
