Not That Coordinated

I've been playing FFXIV on PC. I'm working on Summoner and Black Mage. The problem is, I'm really not coordinated enough to do that much moving and attacking at the same time. Am I screwed for endgame PvE??

Thanks!

My experience as a BLM has been that dodging is vital in many endgame fights (like Titan) but not all of them (like Coil Turn 2). It certainly helps to be able to dodge as a BLM though. :)

I'm slightly motor skill impaired so I think my opinion may be of some help. I find Blm the easiest DPS because you do either moving or attacking, not both normally. I also really love healing because it's very stationary and simplistic (yet intricate). You say you have Smn so you should try out Sch too and see if you like it!

I can dodge OK, I just have trouble casting at the same time. =/

Been thinking about healing. I was a raid healer in EQ and early WoW, but I kind of burned out on it. Not sure I'm ready for that special kind of abuse again!!

Boosting your Spell Speed can help a lot with that. I found it very hard to cast when dodging a lot with low SS.

Avoid bad/kick ass is pretty much 90% of endgame in FFXIV.
Sorry to say.
Practice does make perfect though! Keep at it! Don't give up.

Which job has less casting to do while actively dodging, Black Mage or Summoner?

One piece of advice I can give: Find a group of friends who understand your situation and are willing to be patient. There are so many jerks in this game, I'd hate to see them make you want to quit!

That's why I can't stand playing on pc. Try a controller.
