Job(s) you don't main for good reasons?

Ppl find it weird that I can play NIN but not DRG. I just cannot wrap my head around it, lol

[White_Wolf_X]

Sch, just hate the pet ai.

[Nekaru_Infitima]

WAR on earlier levels I hate it's AOE and how you have to do it in a line (though DRG doesn't bother me oddly). Then on later lvls, I just find them boring.

Probably all healers now. I like them, but I don't think they're ...good for me.

[Saimeren]

Any healer, because I hate healing. Pretty simple.

Care to elaborate? What about healing don't you like specifically?

[Novae]

MCH. 100% MCH.
Leveling was boring (with the exception of Joye of Nine Faces), underwhelming, and never felt rewarding. It was a pain to get it to 80, and I only did it for the Amaro.

[Violet_Galaxy]

Any of the melee classes. Leveling without AoE felt so weird and lackluster that it just turned me off completely from them. Also, I like to move around and not worry about landing positionals. Also, all of the tank jobs; pretty much just level them up and forget about them.

Job(s) you don't main for good reasons?

Well I main Black Mage and Dancer, I love Ninja, Warrior and White Mage I often use Paladin to run old trials and raids solo. I Have all Real Jobs maxed out out on 2 out of 3 mains. So yes there are Jobs I like less than others.

Monk - I enjoy the animations, I enjoy the idea, I even can work with the 3 layer combos, What bugs me is the positionals being required for max DPS, which causes a clunky fighting combo which involves constant moving between rear and flank.
Dragoon - I enjoy the story, the aesthetics, and the uniqueness of the class, what I dislike is the clunky rotation, and the positionals, they make no sense for what is essentially the "Champion class" in final fantasy. ((Champion Classes are a DPS/Tank class that in lore solo challenges the big bad and wins in a one vs one dual)) Dragoon should be right in front next to the Tank according to lore and fantasy of the Job, not poking their stick (Censored do to immature humor being a thing)
Dark Knight - Love the Story (Best Quest in a Tank JOB IMO), Love the aesthetics, Love 99% of the class, can't play it because it doesn't work well with White Mage... Literally the Mechanics of it's shield fails if you have a white mage, which causes me to never use it, which means a core ability is worthless because it doesn't work well with the most common healer in the game, and possibly will be worse once sage becomes the popular healing job. I really wish they would fix it, so it played well with White Mage, I mean I love this class a ton so much so my Main Tanking Glam is based on a Dark Knight Meme: https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/g...-darkness-kupo
Scholar - So much wasted potential IMO, I like the idea, I like the look, just can't stand the clunky mechanics, and really wish there was a meaning behind the Fairy Choice still. Also Scholar needs Pet Glams, Seriously, There are 2 healing only Carbuncles in game, neither one are player options, Also we need an option to summon Feo Ul.
Bard - I use to like Bard, long ago when I first played FFXIV, but now it's kind of boring to me, yes Dancer won my Ranged soul, but even before Dancer came out, it had lost my interest, the buffs only help the party not the player, clunky mechanics, and the aesthetics are either love it or hate it, and I kind of hate them, I want Robin Hood (Men in tights) not Jethro Tull medieval style. Sure they added the performance to the job, and it's made the game a 100 time better, but I'm not a musician I don't have a MIDI setup, I want to Deeps not play music.

I think you mean Green DPS.

none but I stay away from the girly ones more. I managed to find a whm outfit I like though and im playing that now

Huh?!?!? (Insert confused face meme) no such thing as girly or masculine jobs in this MMO. As a woman, I play Tanks, I play Melee, I play heals, I play ranged, and I play Magic DPS, I play all Jobs, and my character is girly because I'm Girly IRL and made my characters as Girly as possible, the Jobs themselves are not girly.

Since i never cared about lore, story or background of a class i only decide which i like or hate only by there gameplay. For me all healer clases besides White mage are crap, same goes for brd because his dmg feels unbelivable low, samurai requires to many buttons for my taste a and monk also dosnt feel that great. Tanks are ok for the most part but i would never main a gunbreaker, for me the class dosnt feel as good as the other tanks. Dancer is fun but since the dmg sadly also feels a bit low (especialy single target) i wouldnt chose him as main DD class.

Don't be like this. While "girly" might not be the best term, WHM and DNC are very feminine jobs while WAR and say GNB def lean on the masculine side. While most jobs either have a good mix or are just neutral, those jobs are definitely leaning towards one side when it comes to combat animations. If I could change the holy/assize twirl to something else(not remove just let me change it) I would. Nothing wrong with the classes being like this and tbh I only have issue because I dont have any other options for animations.

For the thread though: Tanks and healers because they are boring. I enjoy all the dps, though I do lean towards ranged/caster far more.
