Im leveling a dragoon atm, and its getting to the point where there are many things that i need to keep up ongoing.. to blood of the dragon, Heavy Thrust, all the DoTs like Disembowel and Chaos Thrust, and im not max level yet.
Compared to like the Samurai, dragoon is alot of micromanagement. SAM is pretty easy just keep the dots up and get the right power up.
Are there any easier class/jobs that dont require alot of micro management?
Kinda looking to get into one of the tanks.
RDM is generally the easiest DPS out there, it's pretty straight forward to pick up making it friendly to both new or older players. Although seeing as you mentioned tanks, I'd probably go for WAR as a good option to look in to.
GLA/PLD is probably the easiest tank class/Job to get into, as it has no really complex mechanics to rote learn and a simple ability structure that is easy to use. From SB's launch onwards though self-healing is a problem - the PLD's healing skill Clemency is only granted at level 58 and the ability to equip CNJ healing spells like Protect and Cure was removed, where as MRD/WAR has self healing at a much lower level, although it's far more complex to use rather than simply popping a healing spell.
That's not to say GLA/PLD is baby's first tank though, think of it more as the 'meat and five veg' of tanking: a basic class/Job with basic abilities that are still very useful and more than capable of being an extremely effective tank on the battlefield in the hands of a skilled player.
