Easiest to Hardest DPS jobs?

[Rithy255]

Tanking is the easiest role in the game by a fucking mile. Keeping up with mitigation is literally just I HIT BUTTON NOW OK??? and little else. Especially with how tankbusters so often end up going for the kitchen sink design, or are otherwise rigidly scripted to sync up with tank mitigation cooldowns.

Healing is really easy, too. Especially if you're progging and so don't care too much about losing a few GCDs per minute to the occasional safety Succor or something. I do wish they'd move more to soft enrages/phase enrages and HP thresholds, and fewer just 8 minute long scripts or body checks.

No not really, theirs no "easy role" in the game they're all easy to play at a basic level, Tanks in some fights get a lot more mechs, so tanks being "ez" is very fight dependent also it's not generally that much different from melee dps "rotations" nowerdays, I'd argue some jobs like samurai and reaper were way easier to learn then tanks like GNB or PLD.

Really it's all "easy" in a basic level, games are more designed around fights being the difficult part not the rotation of the job you play. Tanks will actually have to learn a lot of separate stuff from the group during Progression, generally still performing the other stuff, obviously this is all fight dependent but theirs no one class/job that's the easiest as it's down to how you feel personally.
