[Poll] Which Job are you most excited to try in 5.0?

Link

So exciting! :D

dancer and machinist.

I main a NIN but damn that MCH has some cool transformer being that made me wanna play MCH.

NIN is still pretty cool, which I am grateful for. DRG, AST and DRK seems wicked too.

Among the newer jobs, I would like to try Gunbreaker.

DNC and I'm super hyped for DRK after seeing the job trailer.

Wondering how BRD and AST will fair with the changes...

I picked SCH, by the way. >w>

Honestly, pretty much all the Jobs in the trailer have me excited to try them out, the only Jobs I'm disappointed with from the trailer are Dragoon, Warrior, and Red Mage most of all, I feel Red Mage could have been omitted from the trailer TBH. Everything else had plenty of new animations that looked interesting to play about with.

I think Dancer has me interested most of all though, just because it's the first attempt we've seen of a true support Job... In terms of animations though, Dark Knight wins by far for me. Machinist a close second, not even because of the robot, I love how many of its attacks seem to be taken directly from Final Fantasy VI, I saw Edgars Bioblaster, Auto-crossbow and Drill, off the top of my head. Joint third would be Scholar and Summoner, very interested in the pet reworks and Summoner finally feeling like a Summoner...

MCH and NIN look very interesting, but I really wanna get my hands on AST and see how it's changed and all the new card effects.

I will stay Monk. Nothing will ever change that! :)

No multiple Answers possible? really?

DNC, SMN, PLD, GNB, DRK, MCH (in no particular order)

Some others looked fun like NIN's new visual effect, but I just wanted to try the above first. So I will slowly try them all in the end.

New jobs: Gunbreaker, though dancer I'll be trying too.

Revised jobs: MCH, because of how different it is. I never liked MCH before but I might like this version.

That said PLD will probably still be my main.

I'm stoked for SAM and NIN and making interested noises at tanks and BRD. Definitely also want to try out DNC and see how that flows.

MCH- Giant Robot
AST- Light Show

Dancer and Bard, although the Dances make me nervous since it seems very Mudra-like and I suck at NIN

I love the surprise third new job we're getting in Shadowbringers. Machinist looks amazing!

I don't see any reason to change from NIN. I've only tried one other, Pugilist, but dropped it when I learned it was a tanking job.

What? No multiple option? Cause my answer is all of them. (I'm a job leveling guy like that) But among the ones I'm most excited for?

Paladin, Dark Knight, Gunbreaker, Scholar, Astrologian, Dancer, Monk (loving what I saw in the job trailer), Red Mage, and Summoner.

All of them.

Definitely, from what we've seen so far, sticking with my main job, monk. But some of these other jobs do look pretty fun.... Will have to try out the new machinist at some point as well as ninja and black mage.

Excited for all tanks. Shame there's no option for it.

RDM is my main & i'm looking for to the new action BUT I'm glad leveled up my machinist...MCH looks dope in 5.0.

Dancer and the healer classes.

Gunbreaker, mostly. I waited so long for that and it was worth the wait. But MCH also looks amazing so I may end up leaving BRD behind for good and stick with MCH as a ranged physical dps.

SMN (which means SCH as well, unless they changed that part) as I usually do. Followed by BLM, the healers and then jobs that catch my attention. I really like the footage of NIN and MCH, so I'm going to give them a try as well.

I wanna main all the jobs. They all look super fun to play.

If i had to pick in order though, all the tanks, starting with a coin flip between GNB and DRK, followed by WAR and PLD.

Then SMN, NIN, SCH, MCH

And then everybody else.

Most excited for mch. The changes look good but the real test will be once I get my hands on it.

Next is AST, DRK, and then SMN. I was originally excited for DNC but the trailer didn't really show me anything that wowed me but I do plan to play it for the story.

DRK and DNC.

FRAAAAAAAAY!!!

100% rerolling to DNC

Machinist and Dark Knight. I miss my self-esteem

MCH is basically Edgar from FFVI, so I'm excited to give it another chance this time around. Other than that I liked how RDM looked and am cautiously optimistic about BRD.

As for healers, I haven't heard near enough about what they're doing to them to make any judgement. They kinda skirted around the actual nitty gritty during the live letter.

I main DRK and my dps has always been SMN/NIN but that MCH is looking good.

I'm more excited about DRK because I like what they did with tanks and WHM because I found it lovely and they are my mains.

DNC is very interesting as the real first buffer and MCH looks superfun now

HA! I took the poll and went with MCH. Although, I main summoner on this char, I have always had a soft spot for gun-based jobs in any MMORPG I play. I suddenly have a reason to get my male char to the end of the story so he will be ready for 5.0 and Gunbreaker! He now has two gun jobs to play with! AAHHH! All the other jobs looked interesting too but MCH came for my heart!

DNC looks really fun, I love the moves and aesthetics of the class so far. I also love what they did with WHM and AST and I can’t wait to play them as well.

Reserving final judgement until the full skill set is revealed, but right now Dark Knight and Gunblade.

ninja is a close second and my mistress to my wife monk.

But grease lighting 4, kamehameha, charge, hi kick splt kick... monk is perfect now. Other than the aura from the sb job quest monk has everything i want. gl4 we gonna be so fast \o/

DNC is top of my list, pretty set on maining it unless I hate it.

As for others, DRK, MCH, SCH seem most interesting to me. GNB as well.

Although now having a more defined support class puts me in that camp.

Dark Knight because it looks better now and kept some of the best aspects. DRK worked, but ideally needed everything revisited and refined a bit. A DRK should have more presence like Zenos. The trailer demonstrated that presence better and it seems to have translated into some of its new actions, in a different way than I was thinking that fits with the new lore. They got rid of Darkside which didn't work with my glamour. Looks like we get DRK's version of Blood of the Dragon that works a lot better with glamours.

I was excited for Gunbreaker, but from what I've seen now I'm more excited for DRK. GNB we've seen do a few slashes and hit a defense cooldown. It has a gap closer like DRK's and poses like DRK. The benchmark makes GNB look like the sidekick of a DRK, trying to emulate them in almost every way besides the two occasional shots. I don't mind it but nothing has hugely blown me away about it yet.

Machinist, because in their words it's basically a new job, rebranded from being about just guns to being about every sort of warfare-related machine including robots. In this way it is no longer just a second-rate BRD shooting bullets instead of arrows. There's almost no chance I would use it long-term, but there can't be many that don't want to get out the robot just once.

It's seeming that DRG has lost Heavy Thrust and Impulse Drive. Heavy Thrust was a problem because it was a damage-up buff that was on the GCD and reset the combo if used. Impulse Drive was a problem because every other job shares its first action across all its combos. I'd like DRG to be one of my primary DPS alts but can't work with it as it is currently when it's only an alt, so I hope these changes are true.

Been extremely excited for GNB since day 1. God, I am so ready for it.
