I guess you didn't like arcanist either.

Well BRD is still kinda boring imo, a lot of button mashing because of all your procs, and not too much thinking involved.

Both DRG and MNK require planning ahead, and both are fine dps as well.

MNK is less affected by lack of backstab (they just really miss bootshine crit), but more affected by lack of flank (they do about 60% damage without flank).

Monks are less, well harder to screw up if you play it safe and go through the forms.

Dragoons since your combo you can use whenever, if you don't pay attention missing a positioning or missing a combo attack will completely screw you up. They also have very tight rotation for DoT uptime.

I find its easier to play a decent (95% damage) MNK than it is to play a decent DRG.
