Easiest dps right now

That's right, in ARR I liked to dps as a BLM because it had a simple, fun and satisfying rotation, the expansion messed things up hard, so right now which dps do you folks think has the simplest rotation?

Can't speak for the other jobs, but NIN feels easier than ever since you can weaponskill to refresh your haste buff without dealing with mudra recast / mudra lag. Positionals just require you move one time every 30 seconds so that's not even a problem.

Probably MNK or NIN to play at a decent, consistent level. They're mostly the same as ARR and it wasn't incredibly complex to begin with. Everyone else has new immobility modes or a crapload of variation in their rotations per the fight.

SMN for sure but maybe it's just easy to me because I started as one and know how to play it well. Switching between the pet and your abilities rapidly is like second nature now. Just dusted the old geezer off and ran DV. I forgot how enjoyable it was.

Dragoon without a doubt.

Your smn is not even 60...

I think most of the dps jobs got more depth to their gameplays so whatever happened to blm happened to pretty much all other dps classes.

With 2 additional skills which require strict positional, I disagree.

I'm leveling as scholar/summoner and... no, its a royal pain to juggle all of the resources and cooldowns. People are complaining about blm dps, but summoner still feels like you're bombarding the enemy with thousands of wet towels.

If you liked BLM's simplicity in 2.0, you'll probably like it in 3.0.
I think you want a class that uses a few big attacks and has a clean, simple rotation, right? BLM is still that way, from the looks of it.
It doesn't have to multi-task as much during the actual rotation, but relies on timing and knowing the fight to minimize movement.
I.e. The rotation is the simplest but it's situationally hard to maximize.

I don't know if BLM has bad numbers now but if you like that play style then you can probably still perform well with it.
