so their is no point in playing some jobs?

[PogueX]

Reading the forums i have gathered the following feelings about jobs, note i don't have one character yet that is level 60 so i have not touched end user content

PLD- doesn't get enough DPS so can't survive in alexander savage
NIN- Lags on certain mundra, so broke
BRD- broke


So should i even bother leveling up these jobs since they appear to be gimp in end game content. Or do they do fine in those raids and just a few people are having problems?

If i should avoid these classes are their any other classes i should avoid that don't perform will in end game?

In all fairness, Nin is amazing if you don't have mudra lag.

No job at this point of overgearing is held back from completing content. That is to say, some will have a harder time than others (specifically paladin).

The problems with BRD and NIN, while annoying, aren't enough to set them back that far from being a capable job.

The point is to play a job you enjoy.

Yep! Took me a while to grasp this, since I was trying to please folks. Now, I'm breezy.

There's nothing wrong with any of those jobs. Sometimes lag will mess up your mudra, nothing game breaking. People are just complaining about Wanderer's Minuet on bard. Paladin is fine too, it just does slightly less DPS than Dark Knight.

Reading the forums

This right here is your problem

Play what you want.

It looks like you play PLD, keep that up if that's what you want to play. Especially if you do it well, no one will care if it's an "unwanted" job.

Also I think people have taken PLD into endgame now, better check with the tank forum or tanks on your server.
Also despite all the complaints BRD/MCH is still pretty much required in progression. And NIN is fine too if you have no or minimal mudra lag.

edit:
Also yeah don't listen to one language section that has like maybe 10% at most of the player base talking on it.....

Anyone who told you NIN and BRD are gimped at end game is an idiot.
PLD lacks magic damage reduction like DRK which SE stupidly designed almost all tank busters in Alex Savage around so PLD falls short in their CDs specifically against magic damage but yes DRK does have more dps even while in their tanking stance due to Darkside.

Why do people keep saying this? DRK has only 1 CD for magic. PLD's CDs work for physical and magical.
