Dancer saved my sub

[Peace-Division]

. What a fun, FUN job this is. It's so incredibly mobile - you're flitting in and out of melee range like a humming bird. .

I felt this way when i started a MCH recently.


Isnt it awesome when you find a job the re-engages the fun back again. If you havent tried the MCH job , as you clearly love the dancers for its flare, do give it a go. The animations are very OTT/flamboyant for a job thats simply shooting from a rifle and the damage is decent to especially when you get you 60- 70s skills.

I have a... I want to say 74 machinist? It's a little less mobile than I was looking for. I also wasn't wild about how the rotations were set up. It wasn't horrible - I can understand the appeal, definitely - but MCH isn't my cup of tea. Like, a good measuring stick for me is how well I do in PvP with a class... and I didn't do nearly as well as MCH as I do dancer (for whatever reason).

I'll be honest - I think it didn't help matters much when 95% of the game's guns look ridiculous, with a few (totally outstanding) exceptions. The inevitable result is that almost everyone is using the same 3-4 arms, which gets a little boring.

Dancer is my most hated class. It's so unbelievably mind-numbingly boring.
You flip a coin, you flip another coin, if the coin landed right you flip yet another coin. Continue this for a bit. Go back to step 1.

See, but from my perspective, because it's not all that complicated a rotation, I can focus more on actually watching fights unfold, general positioning, or (in the case of PvP) not getting my rear handed to me. I'm happiest in an MMORPG when I am constantly on the move - even unnecessarily. I want all frenetic actions to be associated with mobility and not rotation.

Obviously, not everyone feels this way, but bliss for me isn't constantly mashing 16 buttons in absolutely rigid succession - where one mistake blows the entire effort. It's gliding like an angry little fairy across the battlefield, leaving a trail of carefree destruction.

Also, the fan attack sounds really amazing. It's just one of those audio effects like steel boots clanking on a metal bridge or hooves on cobblestones that I want to listen to all the time.

That's perfectly understandable.
All in all, basically why i dislike dancer is the RNG aspect of the job.

I am a huge fan of machinist for pretty much same reasons, tho. There's no RNG involved whatsoever. It may be not as mobile, but still you are free where and when you can move.
It has somewhat simple rotation of 1-2-3, mixed with your 2 OGCDs. Drill/Air Anchor is off the cooldown? Smash that button, preferably with a guaranteed crit proc when it's available. Then there's your hot blast spam mixed in, and that's more or less it.

When I first seen it I was afraid it'd be way to feminum for my liking, like I would be riding on the back of a cartoon unicorn spitting out rainbows while screaming girl power.

But after I lvld it to 80 I decided it wasn't as bad as I thought, but still I'd say it's geared towards females, and the only complaint I had was it felt like it didn't deal to much damage, but I'm no dnc pro and I know I have more to learn on that job, but all in all I enjoyed lvln dnc.

Are u face palming cause I'm not to good at the dnc job or cause you wish you had a cool hat like I got, it's a bitchin glam man u should see the rest of it, the hat is only the icing on the cake.

[Mhaeric]

Are you sure that hat isn't too "feminum" for you though? I wouldn't want misogynistic and homophobic stereotypes to ruin your enjoyment of it.

Ty for the kind words my friend, good to see others looking out for my own enjoyment, don't worry the hat is fine and any misogynistic and homophobic stereotypes arnt ruining my enjoyment of this awesome hat I have, neither is agenda pushing people, people inserting themselves into other people's business thus provoking them to insert back, nor is people looking to complain about others with a different viewpoint when they themselves claim how thier so tolerant until you say something they disagree with.

Trust me my good friend, my hat is fine, it'll stay awesome long into the future, even if I glam over it, but sir ty for your concern about my personal enjoyment, it touches my little lala heart.

I'm a fan of the RNGeesus, also you can force the light show every 60 seconds with a flourish.

That's perfectly understandable.

And that's fine too. It's why Ranged has 3 choices of Jobs. Dancer for those who love chaos and pretty pretty colors flying everywhere. Bard is in the middle, and Machinist is rigid and orderly.

In fact if you look, each role has the random chaos job and the strict no RNG job. I love BLM and Dancer a ton. Red Mage is also fun, and I like Bard, but Machinist was painful for me to level. Ironically, I'm loving leveling Ninja, but Samurai is meh so far.
