Your Main Class - Which is it and Why?

[Croweyes]

Warrior.

I love the tank role, being there defending my comrades from danger. But when I saw that Warrior used a TWO handed axe as a weapon the first thing i thought was " My body IS a shield! "

Black mage. I like that it's a bit more slow-paced than every other job. It has very few ogcds and the cast times give me time to plan my next move. Also, big explosions with big numbers attached are just so satisfying.

SCHOLAR!!!

I'm not too sure, I just fell in love with it, and still love it. I started the game as a WHM, since I was new and didn't know about Scholar; but once I started leveling Arcanist, ironically for Summoner as a DPS class, I grew attached to Scholar. It took some learning, it felt different more unique, and unlike WHM I fell in love with it, I didn't just think I would like it. I love managing my pet, being able to contribute extra DPS, consistantly, and I like the mitigation motif over pure heals. Scholar to me just feels awesome. I hope SE can continue to add more great skills to Scholar, like maybe a Libra skill, or some skills similar to their XI counterpart. I mean they fit the dual wielding white/black mage role beautifully.

SCH.

Thought I don't like his fairy-theme lore and aesthetics, gameplay wise I like them. You can easily add both DPS and shields to the party, so you can focus in whatever you think it's necesary to help the group.

But I also like WHM, and will try AST soon.


Before that I was BLM. Started as SMN, but didn't like the pet system back them (In 2.0 it was a bit more difficult to use, I think)

I always pick caster classes, because why would anyone play a game without magic?

DRK because sexy weapon sexy animations sexy overall instant queues.

GLA/PLD has been my main since I started in 1.0. I know people dislike it because it's boring and uninteresting, but I like boring and uninteresting. I don't need ability bloat or some stupid gimmick to be able to defend my friends and loved ones from harm. Enki is a knight, pure and simple. And a knight she will always be.

White Mage. I've always loved playing healers, and white mage embodies everything I love about them. Powerful heals, yet strong attacks. The base class, Conjurer, has all the best cross-class skills for other healers. They have the nicest artifact gears (though I'd argue they still need a better-looking staff), and I can help anyone. Whether they're in my party or not.

[Hysterior]

SCH because we are so OP

I started as WHM and stayed like that until hitting 50 and trying to unlock all end-game content. As fresh 50 WHM in poopy class quest gear (while everyone had ST and Daystar sets (I got to 50 shortly near ST lockout removal)) I felt really uncomfortable and couldnt keep up with all that speedrunning. I still remember my first visit to CT and ST, I was solo healing both in said gear cuz co-healers were busy dps'ing/dying. So I figured I should wait a bit to get better gear and lvl SCH instead. So I rolled SCH which was pretty close to 50 anyway and ohmygod I was facerolling everything I couldnt as WHM. I still did the relic for WHM and once I got used to dungeon pace at 50 I returned to WHM cuz staff>book =3
But these days I main AST. I knew I was gonna main it the moment I unlocked it, it was pre-buffed AST and I for one wasnt even close to whine about AST being weak, I thought it was pretty good even back then. Card RNG is still driving me nuts but I find it less boring than WHM these days. I like the visuals apart from globe cuz staff is laif hehe and the amount of clutter on AF gear. Story was less boring than WHM (omg I hate WHM&CNJ quests).
I still use all healers almost equally and I still take WHM to do fast things where I dont really have time to play with cards cuz encounter ends faster than I draw 2-3cards, cuz Im both cba to draw those 2-3 for nothing and feel bad if Im not using cards %) SCH was my Alex Normal meta cuz amount of carries done since week 1 was unreal and I still prefer going in A4 as SCH.

My main class right now is SMN, I love to try and microorder my pet around and I love what they did with the smn in hw, it is also the class I mained at some part in ARR then I passed to BRD. I think I'll have problems again with choosing which to have as my main as BRD again is close to SMN, and right now I am gearing well both of the classes.
