What Damage Dealer Do You Find Most Satisfying to Play?

I like my 17k fire IVs so BLM for me.
It also helps that I've levelled all the other classes, and blow at all of them lol, I'm not so good at handling too many oGCD buffs, so BLM having only a few suits me better

Mine is Brd, but I definitely preferred the pre-Heavensward version. Everything from Heavensward feels like a mixed-bag of neat to clunky & cumbersome and needlessly bloated. Seriously, how is Warden's Paeon and Wanderer's Minuet in any way organic.

Yeah, I feel for bards. Honestly, it feels like it was originally designed for MCH playstyle with their procs and instants negating the movement issues from Gauss Barrel somewhat. Then they decided to slap it on bard without giving a thought to how it affects their playstyle.

Drg cause thier outfits and thier moves look really cool and I love easy going relaxing playstyle.

Mch cause the gun style is awesome and the turrents really add more depth and a futuristic element to the job.

Nin cause its IMO the most flashy dps move wise on the game, I also like thier look and the mudra system with them.

I was caught in a love affair between Dragoon and Ninja for awhile, but I think I slightly favor Ninja overall. To sum it up, Dragoon has a rotation, where Ninja has priorities. The distinction being that what you're doing as a Dragoon doesn't really change with the fight which naturally results in combat feeling a bit stale after playing it for awhile. Ninja, to me, feels more adaptable to what is happening which results in me feeling like I'm responding to the game rather than being told what to do by it. It's a small distinction, but it's there.

Sorry but if you use full burst without quelling AND you are really good in dpsing you pull hate even from competent tanks. :P

Here's what happens when I use quelling strikes.

Pop QS, CDs, normal empy, straight, dots(and weaves and stuff), if lucky sidewinder will still hit under qs cause qs is about to fall off at this point, if not it can be a crit sidewinder at 6+k and right after that a barraged empy at ~10k. So yeah my burst hits will usually be hitting outside of qs. And if a tank doesn't have solid aggro by 10-14s then I can't really help them much...

So yeah qs doesn't do much for that. And so far competent tanks have even held off on a an early barraged empy. There sadly just isn't enough of them to go around.

Never had that issue as tank and i'm used to tank with a pretty good bard who uses pretty much the same rotation.

To me, I find the most satisfying thing to be dealing constant, great damage while taking the absolute minimum amount of damage as possible. Dodging aoes while sticking on the target is so much fun. That's why Ultima Weapon in the Praetorium is fun when no one kills the cannons. There is one thing that tops it though. I feel the greatest of all highs when I'm the last one alive in my alliance on a 24 man raid. Nothing tops that.

I love MCH and was so glad to find my dps finally. Rgnesus and burst damage is my thing. (Also I don't like melee)

NO! NO! NO!

STOP!

That's not what this thread is about. If you all want to talk about how you pull hate off of tanks, intentionally or not, make your own thread about it. This thread is about which damage dealing class do you find most satisfying to play!

Stoopid thread drift...
