Did you switch jobs in shadowbringers?, from what to what and why?

[Xia_Thas]

For my Tank I went from PLD to GNB. With the new changes to MCH I'm planning on leveling that as my primary DPS since the reworks look fun to play (Gimmie a Pile Bunker Robo-Queen anyday)

I have mained a variety over the course of FFXIV, from SMN to WHM to NIN to AST to RDM, and when 5.0 dropped I swapped to DNC. It's at 80 and my best geared class, but I also leveled RDM to 80. I like both, but I feel less confident on DNC. Not just because I have less experience with it, but also because of the way the classes play. RDM doesn't rely on burst windows or very much RNG at all, while DNC does. Even if RDM DPS isn't the best, at least it's consistent. DNC RNG and a lot of discussion about parsing and numbers has consistently had my confidence shook. I still like DNC, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it as my main focus at this point.

When ShB dropped I played the story as Samurai but dropped it right after a few Innocence/Titania-EX runs as I wasn't really happy with the class. Then I picked up Gunbreaker, leveled it to 80 and now it's even my new main class . For me, it's just way more fun to play.

[AlphaFox]

From AST to WHM. From RDM to BLM. I am finding it hard to play the other dps now, I really am not sure why. The changes to AST I am just not a fan of, would really like the old card system back minus a change to spire cus TPless.

I mained BRD in Heavensward. Was one of the few who liked that iteration, but it only got better in Stormblood, where I mained it again. For Shadowbringers, I fully intended to switch mains to DNC. I would go on and on with my boyfriend about how excited I was to play it, as well as how hopeful I was to be able to get to raid on it.

Well, it turns out that I hold the unpopular opinion that the job is clunky. I also didn't realize how selfish I was in that dealing such comparatively low damage, even while doing my best, feels bad to me.

BRD has always been a good middle ground between support and DPS, and even though they've lost most of their support kit, it just feels so good to me this expansion. The proc rate is very consistent and never feels punishing like it does on DNC. Apex Arrow is a nice "cherry on top" for utilizing procs effectively. So here I am, maining BRD again in Shadowbringers.

Why not give MCH a shot. Ranged with good dmg.

My main job at the moment is basically "anything but summoner" shb pretty much sucked out all the fun out of that job and I'm just kind of trying to find a new home. Shame cause sb summoner was like my perfect class and now everything else seems just ok at best.

[ColdestHeaven]

Went from MNK to MCH. Fell in love with the hypercharge mechanic and absolutely loathed the loss of so many oGCD on MNK - and the fact that they haven't yet removed the slowdown on RoF, which is why I hated MNK on StB.

[Drayos]

Went from monk/ninja to RDM.

A weird feeling but RDM aesthetically has always been my favourite I’ve always loved being a melee ranged hybrid (although I wish there was more to the melee kit)

Played Arcanist from the beginning. Was up to Summoner 54 when the patch hit. Did not care for the changes. Happened to be by the Red Mage quest giver while working on story quests and decided what the hell. Now I’m up to Red Mage 56 and loving it.
