Least played job?

I think on my server there's a lack of scholars and dragoons. There is loads and loads and LOADS of bards, meanwhile most coil groups I see shouting for members seem to be looking for scholars and dragoons just seem to have been replaced by monks.

Tanks of course seem short on supply, think this is the case in most servers.

I feel like out of every single class? Tanks are really rare to find because of this their Q times are very fast and they are often the needed roles filled in but I don't think many people find tanking as fun as it could be like pld's famous 1, 2, 3 and rare 4 button pressings (Caution: this does not make keeping the hate off some dps easy.) @-@

Secondary being healers though (SCH feel like the more rare ones in this case,) and finally DPS however I often don't see many SMNs myself. :x

Least played job...?

1) that Gun-class we don't have yet. There's a guild sign in Limsa & a few NPC's wear & use guns. But no players yet :-/
2) Red Mage. A few mobs cast the en-line of spells, traditionally a Red Mage ability. But no players yet :-/

SCH? If I were to represent classes from most rarest to least:

Gladiator >> Marauder >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Arcanist

I can't say what job is least-played on my server/data center (while I want to say SMN/MNK...that's ALL I run into when I DF as a tank >.>) the jobs that seem to be in highest demand for statics are SMN and melee (with a shift towards DRG; occasional need for tanks and heals, but I've seen a ton more PFs LF SMN and/or melee). Now, this doesn't mean that these are the least-played jobs, but that they are the least-played well.

I do see a ton of BLM and BRD still, with slots for those filling fast in PFs. There are still a large number of DRG in PFs...but the majority are just bad (which is why groups always seem to have open DRG spots...). Depending on content, healers or tanks are usually last to fill (Ifrit, T1 and T4, Tanks are rare. T2, T5 or Levi, Healers are never around)

And I do see bad examples of every class, a lot. Its most obvious when a Heal or Tank is bad but bad DPS also drag parties down (I hate seeing BRD die to easily avoidable AoEs...the one class that has almost 100% uptime while dodging...and yes, I've had some say they couldn't dodge because they were DPSing and moving is bad...really? You are not a BLM!)

Pretty much, if you want to "be wanted", roll a tank or heal...but make sure to be a *good* tank or heal. If you want to DPS, don't roll a BRD or BLM, and if you roll a SMN or DRG, make sure you are really good at your job (MNK, well yeah, be good at it, but from what I've seen from MNKs outside my static, its easier to pass under the radar since their DPS is naturally high as long as they keep up GL3 and positionals are more forgiving to them than they are to DRG)

Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll try SCH then after I get my DRG to 50 since I still don't have a Lv 50 yet >_<

I hardly ever come across SMN in duty finder.

I think bards are the most common class I see.

Sorry if this has been asked a bunch of times. I just started back playing after a 5 month break since I can run the game on something reliable now. Anyways, i'm tired of seeing a Dragoon everywhere I turn so... What's the least played job? Is it still Paladin? If you could, please put them in order. Ty

I barely see DRG in endgame runs. They are there but I see more Black Mage/Bard/Monks.

Tanks and Healers, most of the time if a mistake is made by that class the player gets degraded and burned on his lack of skills instead of trying to fix why he made that mistake. Whether is that person being new to the class or being a noob, we don't play games so we can get yelled out.
