Melee or Ranged? currently for endgame

[Galataya]

So I got a Dragoon to 30 and lately reading the forums it sounds like I should maybe stop and level as ranged due to current game mechanics.

So I am wondering would it be worth my time to reroll ranged or stick with melee? That is my biggest question.

Then I would just need to figure out what I want to play more...BLM or SMN. I heard pet management sucks and is clunky atm regarding SMN. So any insight or thoughts about pets would be nice.

Also curious about what makes BRD so popular however, I am not really considering this class.

Thanks for any help!

Just play a bard. Enjoy being king of the game. You will trounce all others with ease while keeping everyone's mana / tp bars full and ignoring boss mechanics. It's literally god mode. Thank me later.

There is nothing in this game that is not viable at endgame levels, regardless of what terrible PUGS claim. There are classes that are better than others in terms of group composition because a bad PUG group wants the easier way out, but everything is viable. Get a good FC group and you can play anything you want. If you limit yourself to everything BUT FC groups, be prepared to play the FOTM class.

The class that I honestly feel that is hurting the most are warriors, but clearing content on them is still possible.

I hear mmos go through constant balance changes with today's king being tomorrows poor. Chasing the FOTM only leads to sadness.

As far as fun goes I've leveled all the classes to 15. I liked the feel of the ranged I listed and usually like to play both melee and caster. So it's really just a matter of which to work on more atm. So that I can have fun at 50 and level the other as time permits.
