Healer mains: your fav role/job when not healing?

MNK is my go to for DPS as I actually started the game with the intention to become MNK and it was my main until I started healing.

I prefer ranged classes, and love tech. So Machinest is of course my go to class for when I take a break from healing. Trying to enjoy Warrior...but I really miss the range.

Bard and Warrior

Machinist because its challenging and fun!

PLD when I want to tank, SAM when I want to dps.

I'm currently leveling all my jobs (not one a time like a lot of people do where they do one to 70, then the next, then the next. I'm doing ALL at the same time because I find it more fun to do a command mission on one job, the fates for my challenge log on another job, the beast tribes on another job, hunting bills on another job, etc... I like variety, not POTD spam to 60 and dungeon spam to 70) and I have yet to find a job I didn't enjoy <3

But if I -had- to pick.

1. Red Mage. (Caster)
2. Dragoon (Melee)
3. Dark Knight (Tank)
4. Machinist (Ranged)

There are...other classes?

I've played a lot of BRD lately, which has replaced SMN and SAM for me.

When I was a healer main, I'd vacation on tanks. It was pretty uncomfortable for me at first. I'd never tanked in an mmo, then of course you had those players who were jerks to me solely because I was inexperienced, but I wanted to understand the ins and outs to have a better perspective of what it's like to be the tank. I would definitely recommend healers seek out this experience.

And hey, now I'm a tank main!

Bard is great, it's my main for an alt character. It's great at synergy, which I find I like. Ninja on another alt for the same reason.

Due to not having much time to invest in levelling, I stick to just four jobs.
DRK AST BLM and NIN.
They're all fun, but BLM is my true calling.
Though AST is the last one I've tried and I'm loving it so far.
