Black Mage, Summoner, or Bard?

I just got 80 on BLM, and one of the most rewarding things is fight knowledge. If you know when mechanics are going to happen and where you need to be, and place yourself there prior to it all happening? It's so much fun. When content is pretty new to you, or new in general it can be a bit frustrating to play it though. If you're not casting, you're not doing damage. And you can't cast while moving. Using stuff like triple cast and swift cast lets you be mobile in bursts but overall you're a beautiful animation turret. Also a lot of fun if your friend's a healer, queuing with them and standing in mechanics because you know they have your back is great. Wouldn't recommend it on a solo queue tho, would be kinda rude I think.

Last I played bard was in the middle of SB, so I can't say much other than it's not really super rewarding but it can be fun. And rewarding is subjective anyway.

So much this! I hit 80 on BLM and was farming Mt Gulg for the Forgiven set because I like the look. Knowing the mechanics and moving to the right place as soon as the animation starts is so rewarding. On that same note, The First Beast in Amaurot frustrates me to no end.
