I'm more of a Tank player but I love Black Mage, Feels pretty solid and powerful in general with some recent changes by the gameplay just feels so good for me, If you mess up you feel it on BLM, If you do well you also feel it. It's a job that it's both easy to pick up but also hard to do well at.
I also Like RDM, Machinist, Bard, Monk.

Reaper, it feels really smooth to play. The rotation is nice and the aesthetic is great.
I did love samurai but the removal of kaiten and auto crits kinda killed the job for me. It's felt really hollow to play since no matter how many times I try and get back into it.
Monk I also loved in stb and shb but it feels weird to me now post rework and I have yet to get used to it. The removal of positionals on it really bothered me. It was the little mini game monk had that I really enjoyed and they removed it.
I like the direction they took with summoner but it needs a bit more depth added to it. It's a bit too simple right now.
I really do like black mage also but I suck at playing it!

Bard mostly. One of the only remaining classes with a true proc system that matters and a burst that's never exactly the same and makes you prioritize and think. It just feels good to unravel it, I just wish it lasted longer...
-
I play reaper because it is like a slightly easier machinist, and I already liked machinist.

My favorite damage dealer is summoner. It's not complicated and its spells are satisfying to watch. I feel I'm making a contribution in duties and raids.

Blue mage. It has plenty of casts, flexibility when you're not tryharding, healer/tank/dps builds aren't identical, spells interacting with other spells, mp management can rear its head at times. I don't particularly think launcher/ultravibration/level 5 death are particularly healthy for it in the long run, but maybe the enforced small pull dungeons will allow for some aoe spam. Masked carnivale's also good, but I guess deep dungeons are the equivalent for other jobs.
Dragoon's not bad either, but I miss the tether and blue dragon aura. And sensible buff timings, but that goes without saying.
Don't like what they did to monk, don't like samurai without resource management. Bard's boring without procs. Summoner is a loathsome parody.
Black mage isn't for me but I can recognise it's good. Haven't felt any desire to play ninja since 5.5, red mage is fun if you don't take fight design into account.

Black Mage being number 1 and Red Mage being number 2. Dualcasting feels good with verraise, and the melee combo into the finishers is nice. It has a nice balance of oGCDs to GCDs. Only problem right now is just enchanted Reprise feels bad to use.
Black Mage simply because it is fun to play even if I mess up at it. The risk and reward is all there for me to best optimize if I want to. It also has a lot of flexibility in how I want to recover in a rotation if I mess up mechanically.
DRG would be a close third because I like the gameplay, but no blue aura makes me not feel like a dragoon as much anymore. It was pretty integral to have the blue aura even if the upkeep is simple, but it feels so weird without it now because I just feel like a naked lancer rather than a dragoon cloaked in dragon aura. RPR replaces DRG simply because enshroud is nice to use at level 90. Fast paced attacks, lots of flexibility in delaying gauge spending but low enough cd to feel active, aesthetically nice, and fun positionals to hit. Feels very empty at lower levels though. It's almost as if it's a different class based on how slow it can be early on.

PvP monk, hate the pve version but the pvp is a lot of fun.
-
For me its RPR, even if double/triple enshroud feels like ass.

Has been Nin for me since I started it in Stormblood. It has fast apm and in combat movement (gapcloser and teleport that's resettable) , rotation is different for like ...... 6 mins, Hyosho Ranryu is always satisfying (come on 1300 P + 30% + 10% + 5%) plus w/e other buffs peeple throw at me . Mudra's are a great system and have 9 abilities condensed onto 4 buttons . Love the Kakashi LB3 . Aoe rotation is insanely fun . Glams don't share esthetic with any other gear set. Kinda OP in new DD since I can spam raitons and stack raijus . Just being a melee/caster combo hybrid is just the bakers kiss with this job haha
