What Damage Dealer Do You Find Most Satisfying to Play?

[RLofOBFL]

Ripping hate from a 24 man with my opener on MCH is nice

Ripping hate from a tank as BLM is nice

Ripping hate from mobs as a SMN is nice

Ripping hate from a Raid as a MNK is...a very slow process.

The REASON BRD rips hate at the start of a fight is bc a fully buffed Emp is like 10k damage & you literally let it off while the tank barely has two hits in, NO S#&$ you'll rip hate, no other class can throw out that except maybe a BLM, difference is BLM can sustain that damage & keep aggro until they die. It is actually IMPOSSIBLE(don't quote me) to keep hate from the emp open with only two hits in even as an unchained berserk WAR, unless you're very overgeared or the BRD is undergeared. It is NOTHING to be proud of jeez....but man it does feel good.

I have that happen occasionally but when it does I have hit the enemy twice, the enemy runs toward the BRD as I use my third combo & keep aggro. It's a pain <.< so I modified my BRD opener to use emp after dots(probably not smart) so the tanks aren't scrambling to me.

"Quelling is bad" is all fine & good until you rip hate as a tankbuster goes off and you die, this has happened to me quite a bit as almost every job & I remember thinking I wish I used/had Quelling.

I enjoy playing ninja. I leveled mch throughout Heavensward and enjoyed it, but ended up going back to Ninja for a couple of reasons. One, my damage isn't so heavily dependant on nailing as much as damage as I can during a Wildfire, especially with all the mechanics that can screw that up. Two, speed. After playing ninja, everything else feels slow.

I will give up my ninja for a Samurai in a heartbeat, though.

I'd also like to give SMN a try, but I need to level my BLM first for Quick Cast and I find BLM boring, unfortunately.

If a Bard starts with barrage emp he should overthink his rotation because he could deal more dmg if he uses it later. But yes you can troll a tank like this but someone who does this shouldn't consider himself as a good player.

So, what damage dealer do you find most satisfying to play?

Marauder/Warrior

Bard has been my squeeze for a bit I just love the utility in their kit I see a war pop beserk I give them my Paeon and I never have to communicate with them usually ends with the war going O.o a bard that uses that!? What!? I also use it for stuff like Paralysis with healers or DPS/tanks, Sleep whenever that happens and Weeping City for Bleeds/Doom, it's a lot of fun have this much potential! As well as giving Blms, Smns and healers Foes.

I also really like their DPS playstyle it always makes me smile when I see a triple barrage followed by a Sidewinder crit as well as having Iron Jaws to refresh DoTs making multi dotting and AoEing so much easier.

Bards in a really good spot and very rewarding.

Thanks Anienai! But, please don't dismiss me because I'm a lalafell!

Folks, this isn't a thread about whether to use quelling strikes or pull hate from the tank. Although, that is a great topic.*laughs*

C'mon and let's get back on the topic of this thread.

I've brought blm, bard and ninja to post 60 with my blm as my main at i234. At first enchonian wore on me but now I consider that a good challenge. Keep it up and you'll get wicked dps with fire iv...let it fall you drop dps like a rock.

Now I do use quelling strike bc it let's the tank contribute more to the fight. I wasn't always that way however. The level 50 teleport usage is the sign of a good blm....now I'm disappointed in pre 50 content without it

[VoltaAsura]

BRD. Nothing is more satisfying that being able to perform my opener and rotation without interruption.

Without a doubt it has to be monk for me i play on pc (laptop) with a razer sabertooth and all i can say is that no class in the game feels so in tune with playing on controller like monk does. I started the game as paladin back in 2014 and after just 1 month i realised my mistake after recommending a friend to play monk.

Everything about the class feels so intuitive going for positionals, stacking chakra during downtime, form shift to save greased lightning and our aoe is one of the best in the game only really beaten by summoner easily matching black mages aoe and even then in dungeons like Anti tower we even have smn'er beat due to my next fave thing about the class our cooldown timers are all on such low timers (Besides Perfect balance) so we always have access to are very powerful moves like elixer field and howling fists and purification for extra tp.

I have to give honarable mentions to Dragoon too

Used to love bard. Just don't like the mage feel to it. So i levelled ninja and enjoy it a lot. Was either that or monk and being as I already had dexterity stuff ninja won.

Keep hoping they'll scrap the casting bars but unlikely.
