What is everyone’s favorite job?

Sorry Machinists, you were forgotten, but I wanted to add to this existing poll for more input instead of creating a new one.

Paladin for me. It was dull back i ARR but HW, SB and SHB have continued to add to it to make it more fun. I'm pretty happy with where the job is now overall.

I've enjoyed gunbreaker but think I still prefer PLD over it. Dancer is fun but a bit too rng dependent even with Flourish. Monk I enjoy the core gameplay of the three stance pseudo combo system but it feels a bit odd beyond that and SE apparantly just gave up trying to add niche ways to keep GL going and just made it super easy (barely an inconvenience) with form shift refreshing it.

Black mage may be my favorite dps this time around so far, but I still have plenty of jobs I need to level. Red mage is still fun, the core of it hasn't changed much in single target.

I'd have said Machinist if it were in the poll because the rework is genuinely very satisfying to play, my runner up is a tie between Dragoon and Black Mage (I voted Dragoon).

Also not surprised that Monk is at the bottom at the time of writing this, Stormblood wasn't a good iteration but Shadowbringers is somehow worse.

For me, right now its Dragoon and Machinist. Both feel wonderful to play, and I'm in love with their very acrobatic animations. (How it is a gunner almost looks more nimble and graceful than a ninja? o.O)

It's a tie between Samurai and White Mage.

Red Mage, easy.

A bit of a surprise to me but right now I'd actually put Samurai at second. I had no specific interest or desire to play a melee DPS but decided to try it and I actually really enjoy it.

Warrior: Fun gameplay, great mitigations and awesome self-healing.

Machinist. screw that poll.
Pretending I did say that, White Mage Healer Main here. Have been since early HW

WHM and RDM out of the classes I've played so far. Both are in wonderful places and both feel extremely satisfying to play. I still haven't touched MCH yet as I was waiting to get DNC to 70 to power level all three Aiming classes, but from what I've heard it's right up my alley.

Samurai main for life here! I sorta wish they hadn't messed with some of the skills as much as they did, but I still love it best. Dancer is intriguing though. I'm seriously considering making it my ranged main.

Former AST main. I actually haven't really found a class that I like this expansion. In 4.x I absolutely loved BRD and AST. This patch, I pretty do DNC as "the lesser evil," so I voted for that.

Currently working on getting all of my phys. ranges to 80 and I'm finding I prefer DNC out of all three (but I do prefer 4.x BRD to DNC). MCH, of all three phys rng, is definitely the most boring to play... but I appreciate that I'm probably crap at playing it. xD

Gunbreaker, but mostly because I have waited since ARR to have a gunblade job. It is also really fun. Really, really fun.

White mage. My favorite job in Stormblood was white mage, and my favorite job in Heavensward was white mage.

It used to be Scholar and I want it to be. But I have put Dancer instead, which is fun to play at the moment and flows nicely.

I think gunbreaker is awesome. I've leveled it to 80 on two alts and am now leveling it on my main. My favorite job is White Mage and has been so for quite some time. I personally love what they did to the job this xpac.

I am pleased to say I like WAR just as much in Stormblood as I do Shadowbringers. I can nitpick some things I'd like changed, like how clumsy Storm's Eye can feel, or how Nascent Flash just doesn't work well for PvP, but that aside I am always having a lot of fun on the job. It plays good, looks good, feels good, sounds good... not much more I could ask for.

...Well, I'd like to load Curious Gorge into a cannon and fire him off into space since he wore his welcome in the job quests all the way back in ARR, nevermind 3 expansions later. Please stop bringing him back. He is just as much an embarrassment to WARs as Magnai.

Machinist and Gunbreaker

In Stormblood my answer would be WAR, now it's GNB. 1st reason I waited this job for more than 5 years, and 2nd is that's really a very enjoyably and interesting job to play.
The second favorite, for a long while already, are BRD and NIN which are basically my sub-main jobs.

White Mage. It's always been my favorite somehow. Even in times when it was crap. I always came back to playing WHM. Now it finally became more fun to play. I always liked the aesthetics of it, the animations, effects and poses.

It's not perfect - not enough DPS options (but that's a problem with SCH and AST as well), the clipping is annoying (I really wished that as healers' standard DPS spell would have a short cast time like AST's), and WHM could use some kind of AoE shield (double WHM happens to often in DF/PF), maybe make it a 90 seconds oGCD and call it Protect? - but now it's at least fun to play.

I can't really choose one, so I'll pull out my big 4.

DRK/SCH/DNC/BLU

For me it's Dancer and Machinist our the only jobs like for Shadowbringers.

ninja at launch, unusable now, so bluemage took the top place.
