Which role is your worst?

This. I can keep up Greased Lightning stacks and Dragoon buffs/debuffs without too much struggle, but put me behind a BLM or SMN and I just fail miserably. I inevitably press the wrong button, screw up the BLM rotation, manage the pet poorly, etc. etc. I am the worst caster ever.

Ironically, I am a really good WHM and a pretty decent SCH. XD

I'm turrible at tanking and healing. And while I'm not awful with Bard and Ninja, I just have no fondness for either of the jobs.

(I think the reason I dislike Bard is because I've mained a Hunter in WoW for 7 years.)

I'm not very good with DPS, myself. With healing and tanking, you have clear, obvious goals: Don't let people die. If everyone lives, and if you aren't struggling to make that happen, then you're doing well. DPS is another story - you can *always* squeeze another few points out of your rotation, and, to do your best, you need hard math and razor concentration. You're always racing, always rushing, always striving for perfect, unbroken efficiency.

Frankly, it's worlds more stressful to me to juggle numbers and formulas than it is to juggle health or aggro bars, and stress breeds ineffectiveness. XD

I used t9 be terribad at tanking. Until they announced Dark Knight then i went full on tank status and practiced until I'm better than almost any tank I know.

My healer skills could be improved though..

I can do all three. -shrugs-

Tanking and melee DPS for me, I have been a healer and a caster for almost 10 years, so I am used to standing in the back and planning ahead what I am going to do. I am not used to standing infront of the monsters and fighting them.

Not my weakest per SE as all roles are easy in this game, but I find that healer gives the most anxiety in the game. After being yelled at / blamed / berated from a static in 2.0/2.1, I gave up healing in favor of tanking.

Now, I still can heal, but it's not what I actively seek, only offered as necessary to others.

My worst is Healer. I was never able to get a win as Healer in pre-nerfs Pharos, which is what I consider a Healer's metric. I have met some great Healers there as Bard, too. Healers I'd never expect to be able to clear it, like Scholars! Me, as White Mage, schooled by a Scholar. Credit, though, Pharos before the nerfs wasn't a fight between a party and the dungeon, it was rather literally the dungeon versus the Healer with Siren hammering the message home. The first boss of Sastasha, pre-nerf, was almost as bad but I was able to manage. Shame that difficulty didn't carry through the rest of the dungeon like Pharos.

Healing on fights that are AoE heavy, I get overwhelmed too easily.

Nothing I play all roles perfectly~

*has been healing in cleric stance for most of the dungeon and been sincerely wondering why every spell has been so infective*
