So I haven't played an MMO since I quit WoW about 8 years ago and just picked up FF14:ARR two days ago. With life, work, and college I don't have a ton of playing time so I will do a lot of shorter solo gaming sessions (until I finally finish school that is).

Since I will be leveling rather slowly due to time constraints I hate to start over repeatedly. What classes are decent at solo'ing but still desirable in groups and/or FC? From reading the forums and stuff it looks like pure DPS classes are less desirable (more common) in groups and FC's than healers and tanks. Am I right or wrong and could anyone suggested a class? I've played as most types of classes in the past and enjoy them all.

Thanks!
