Top Five Favorite Classes

[Gamer3427]

I'm a bit curious as to what everyone's favorite classes are in the game. I'm not necessarily asking for which ones you're the best at, or which ones you have geared out the most, or even which ones you have at level 60. I'm just curious as to what everyone's favorite classes to play are......

Mine are as follows....

1) MCH
2) NIN
3) SCH
4) FSH
5) DRG

I don't have the links, but you could just look at the last census data?

That's what the most played classes are. I'm asking what people's personal favorites are. Just because something is one of your favorite classes, doesn't mean you play it as often as you do others because of things like statics or friends needing a certain role, or other such things. Also, what about people who would consider their gatherers or crafters their favorite to play, but they spend more time over all running dungeons of some sort?

Level 60
1. WHM <-- main. Always have/will be my favorite.
2. AST <-- I like the cards. Flexible and mobile in PvP.
3. SMN <-- 50-60 for SMN was a much needed improvement.
4. PLD <-- PLDs look pretty.
5. ??? <-- I only have a handful of 60's and, at the current moment, a lot of my old favorites from 50 that I leveled to 60 are no longer even worth playing to me anymore.

Level 50
1. WHM <-- main. I'm super bias.
2. BLM <-- at 50 its rotation was easy to learn and with their MP pool, very forgiving. As someone who didn't play/wasn't good at DPS, I found BLM very easy to excel at, especially in a dungeon environment. When I got Enochain I found the class got a lot less forgiving and at level 60 I had a hard time with my rotation as I do not have a lot of SpSpd. As a secondary class that I don't gear well/often, having to downgrade gear just to get my rotation to work semi-fluidly seemed really stupid to me. So this has gone from my most beloved DPS to my (currently) most hated one.
3. BRD <-- GB works for MCH, WM does not work for BRD. There is a pretty significant difference between the amount of "casting" these two classes do because MCH has procs coming out of the ying-yang while BRD only really has Straight Shot procs. If I feel like playing a caster, I'd rather just play SMN. So at 60 this is actually my (current) 2nd least favorite class.
4. PLD <-- PLDs are pretty.
5. MNK <-- Out of all the melee DPS, I really liked MNK the best. Stacks constantly falling off is a pain, but it definitely feels the most fluid in combat if you keep said stacks.

1. Monk

After monk, there's no particular order to the rest.

2. Warrior
3. Ninja (had it not been for the mudra changes, it would not be on this list)
4. Summoner
5. Dark Knight

For me, I'd say the following:
1: WAR. Just straight up feels like a badass tearing through everything. You are the beast.
2: PLD. "Oh my! The wall is impregnable!" (quote taken from Beyblade for the Nintendo GameCube) Seriously. Whenever I play my PLD I feel like a titanium wall for the party.
3: AST. It's all in the cards. The RNG factor of the cards makes this class constantly keep me on my toes.
4: BRD. This class makes me feel like a pillar of support.
5: NIN. Bish bash bosh BOOM! Seriously, thanks to the improvements made with the new EU datacentre and the changes made in 3.1, bashing out a mudra is such a satisfying feeling now.

Honourable mentions:
The DoL: Very relaxing and easygoing classes, great for those times where you just wanna chill out.
The DoH: I feel like I'm doing mathematical problem solving playing these classes, like how to best tackle the problem I am set.
MCH: Same as BRD, but because it's got a lot less support into it, it just misses out.

1) DRG - I like keeping up with a good rotation and usually being the top dps for a group
2) MCH - I find this fun to play overall, I like the gun animations
3) SCH - I like this type of healer in a game being able to prevent incoming dmg and having the fairy do a lot of the healing so you can dps
4) BLM - Blowing things up
5) BRD - I like the overall look of archer-type jobs. This one plays well for me.

1. WHM - my first class and still my favorite. Insta heals, great HOTs, lots of tools focused on what I am supposed to do, HEAL.
2. Nina - Just starting out with it but mudra is a fun flavorful mechanic.
3. AST - I like healing, cards are fun.
4. PLD - I enjoy tanking.
5. SMN - The final other class that I play. Not liking it as much later on in the game honestly but since my FC has so many healers I'm using it often.
