Easiest to hardest DPS job to play

[Seraphor]

I find it easier to divide them into their roles. Mainly because some people find certain roles easier than others, to the degree that it trumps a lot of other aspects about the job. For example, the easiest job might be RDM, but to a person who can't get on with Casters, DNC might be easiest for them.

Casters: RDM > BLM > SMN
Ranged: DNC > MCH > BRD
Melee: SAM > DRG > NIN > MNK

This is personal to me, maybe you'd swap a couple around, but I'm pretty sure the easiest of each role is more-or-less consensus.

Casters and Ranged are spot on. Melee seems to be a mixed bag depending on whether you find positionals easy or not. Personally I'd put DRG and MNK as the easier ones with very little you have to keep track of, and SAM with NIN as the two hardest due to how many things you have to keep track of.
