Job Types

[File2ish]

All the jobs have their ups and downs, really depends on what you look for in those specific types of roles.

Like the differences between the healers. WHM has the largest cures and best heal over time spells, SCH has the best barrier spells and has a fairy to help healing, and AST has the ability to use HoTs or barriers as well as having a pretty random (but effective) party member buffing system with cards.

Or DPS roles? Want more utility or damage? Like a specific weapon or playstyle over another?

Give them all a shot before settling i'd say, even tanks. Might surprise yourself and like a specific job you didn't list as your choices over all else. I started as Bard on my main and made my alt character a white mage. Now I'm a full time WHM on my main and am getting my alt through 3.0 on Paladin. Now i want to main AST on my main too lol.
