Help me pick a DPS!

[Fevelle]

If you don't like playing classes with a rotation that's set in stone, I'd recommend machinist. They're a range dps class that works primarily from prioritizing certain skills above others. Their rotation changes a lot, mainly due to the nature of their main damage abilities being RNG based. It does require a lot of focus, as you have similar supportive capabilities to that of a Bard and your burst requires a lot of preparation as well as thinking a head constantly. It's very rewarding to play.

In all honesty, it's not a bad idea to try out all of the dps classes to get a feel for them and see which one you'd enjoy playing the most. Wouldn't recommend monk though. Or dragoon.

Yeah, I leveled them all to 30 to see what each class was about, but the gameplay changes a lot after some levels. I'll try Machinist and Bard now too. From the melee ones, I really liked Monk, but still not my piece of cake (better than all other though). I already have to continue my leveling on Bard to acquire Quelling Strikes (i forgot to get Quelling before leveling BLM and qent only with Raging Strikes, poor tanks) so I'll try it out until 60 and see if I like it better!
