Which one is good for FRONTLINE BLM SMN MNK NIN WAR

i run as war also, war can also burst in no times 7 secondes before homlang and fell cleavex2
you can be stacked very fast :
i also use defiance to not get too much damaged too much early (it's usefull if you are not in range of healer i still can kill someone in no times when you swap delivrance)
Defiance ,storm eyes combo you use CD between it (vengeance, raw intuition, berserk you got yours 5 stacks) so after
Delivrance, homlang, fell cleave, infuriate, fell cleave, still doing some storm eyes combo till the end of berserk, i swap to defiance again if i need to use equilibrum to recovery from damage.
It's fast and easy enough too i think

With this rotation, because you are migitate damages and bursting in the same times you can win a lot of 1 vs 1 or even 1 vs 2 depend on enemys skills. i win also some war vs war because my enemy was not stacked fast so i use Fell cleave x2 before him.
Because Smn is bursting fast too, it's often my main focus.

But it's still hard to get the highest damages my score is often 100k even if i saw one times a war doing 180k in one games and got 17 kills O_o, i saw many smn doing 150k or more, smn burst fast also, so it's popular^^

You should play what you like anyway, if you like blm go blm or if you like ninja go ninja.

Just be carefull when using this in FL, way too many times i see WAR's pop this and then they start running away for some reason. When i see that it means its now time to stun-lock and unload burst from flank/behind as everything will be a auto-crit, so to avoid this it might be good to pair it with Awarness atleast in PvP(Awarness is pretty awesome in pvp anyway).

PS: Why tanks in general dont use Push Back that much? that skill is fucking OP as hell against all physical classes(only way to counter that is to start kiting that tank untill buff runs out), with it you can bacially AFK kill all melee classes and that is pretty damn hilarious. Its my favorite skill in the game atm and i would like to see it in PvE aswell :3

I use push back when i use vengeance (it work a little like vengeance, so the war have it for pve, but you use to migitate tank busters in pve, the extra damage from it is not realy the purpose when you use it), but yep pushback is op
As a good Pld and the way he is playing you sure watch all time the buff from enemy, because you have to stun lock or even pop fortress to make more pacification possible when enemy pop some buffs.
You are right i have to be carefull, i don't usualy get punished to have used Raw intuition,
when i got killed from it, it's often when i get too much guys focusing me.
It's mean not a lot of players watch the buff the enemy use.
Only aware PVP players
I have to add awareness pld cross skill to my rotation when i raw intuition use it to kill the punishment

Go MNK! we need more MNKs on the frontlines :D

probably best is SMN though of course because of the sheer amount of aoe + single target damage that can be done

yeah true, sometime i get surrounded by like 3-4 physical damage dealer, popped push back coupled with vengeance and berserk and thrill of battle+war
and watched them hurt themselves to death with 1000+ damage each reflective hit and fall down 1 by 1 ending with my laugh XDD

As a MNK I can kill SMN or BLM every time, once i get close enough to shoulder tackle its GG, especially if you pre buff, MNK is like perfect caster killer. But SMN is prob still best as you can just hide in the back and do more overall dmg.

Every melee is the perfect caster killer at melee range lol

If you play anything other than SMN you're doing it wrong.

If you play anything other than SMN then you are exactly the same as if you did play SMN, play the class that you have the most fun with and eventually realize that you can play it to a better standard than summoner

BLM: Very good defensive job if left unwatched. Tons of CC. Poor offensive capabilities since you can't really stand in the same spot for too long.

SMN: Very powerful and noob friendly. Deadly combo, but with a strong downtime. The very definition of a "glass canon" job. Has trouble picking off kills outside its main combo.

MNK: OIP finally has its use. Fist of wind+Shoulder tackler grants you a very good mobility. But even with a PvP skills to pump up your stacks, the overall damage isn't that great... besides Bootshining dumb retreating enemies. Has melee LB, which is the best LB.

NIN: Very mobile, good damage spike and has melee LB. Probably metter than the MNK overall... but you have to be quite swift on your decision making (ie going for a kill or not). Stealth is also very fun.

WAR: Very durable, very strong melee combo (Holmgang+Fell Cleave x2)... It's a "glass canon" like the SMN but without the "glass" part. Has to get in melee range and doesn't have an offensive LB to compensate.
