Dragoon changed little, thus it will likely be among my first to 70. Samurai, however, has really piqued my interests; enough I've strongly considered switching mains. I'll absolutely be cycling between the two assuming Samurai plays well. For non-mains, I am far more intrigued by Paladin than I ever have been otherwise. Likewise, the removal of cast times makes me want to give Bard a whirl.
On the other side, my interest in White Mage plummeted considerably, though I'll definitely take the job for a spin. I also haven't rediscovered my love for Monk. Granted, that has nothing to do with the changes. It's just lower on my list.
Dropping scholar alt class for NINJA. I main Dark Knight. If I am going to dps I might as well do it as a dps.
My main is hard to identify. In Heavensward, I started Summoner and changed to Scholar for raiding, and then back to Summoner, and then back to Scholar, and then Summoner, and then Astrologian.
Overall, I have the most experience raiding with Scholar, most experience in Heavensward with Summoner and am currently an Astrologian main.
In Stormblood, I am not even planning to level SCH/SMN until after RDM, AST, BRD, BLM and MCH. I'm leaning towards maining RDM, though.
My decision has been clear before all of the job changes and remains unaffected even now. Summoner is my main and that will not change.
I will always main tank, that's never going to change. And I always have 1 healer and 1 DPS to play when I don't feel like tanking.
Before 3.0, I mained PLD with DRG and SCH as my sub jobs. Once 3.0 hit, I amusingly switched to DRK main with AST healer and MCH DPS sub jobs.
With 4.0, if the balance is as bad as it appears, then I will likely switch back to PLD main. I will be keeping AST healer and likely bounce from MCH to RDM DPS (as I have always loved RDM... was my main in FFXI). If tank balance doesn't end up as bad as it appears, then I will stay with DRK as I much prefer DRK gameplay and aesthetic.
Can't main WHM cause they have nothing to bring to a raid. Can't main AST cause they be too OP. Can't main SCH cause they can't DPS anymore. Can't main RMG or SAM cause running animations and lack of support buffs. Can't tank or dps cause reasons. So that leaves me with BOT or MIN cause FIS (ugh). Was thinking BOT, but there's something just so satisfying about the thunk with a HQ quarry success.
/sarcasm off
Was already planning to switch to RDM from DRK/AST so no plan changes yet. :S
Once a white mage always a white mage.
I'm a Monk, and I'm going to complain about the changes we got until they aren't garbage.
I'll probably level Samurai as a backup for raid since I'll be gearing it simultaneously.
