Your Main Class - Which is it and Why?

[Enkidoh]

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.

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.

White Mage has been my main since I started. I like to heal in games, and I really enjoyed how White Mages heal. I tried SCH and AST but WHT will always be my favorite.

I only have one main at a time but I tend to swap to a different class at least once a year. Changes in how classes work have a huge effect in my choice of main. In ARR I mained BRD, because it was mobile and focused on dots. Then Heavensward came and I found SMN much more enjoyable. But that pet drives me nuts sometimes. The lack of quick burst can be troublesome as well. So now I'm dabbling in healing and tanking with WHM, AST and DRK, leaning on WHM so far. They have such a well made toolkit and a lot of healing power. Tried SCH but... the damn pet drives me nuts! I don't trust it. The pet AI could do with some improvements imo.

I find it kind of funny how my gaming history repeats itself. I mained druid (dot caster/melee, hot healer), hunter (dot ranged), death knight (dot melee/tank) and almost monk (hot+dps healer) before they ruined it in a patch. Moved over to FFXIV thinking I'll give all classes a fair chance to see what I enjoy here, then ended up loving the hunter-like BRD and SMN, the druid-like WHM and the DK-like DRK. If RDM gets added and it's a healer/dps hybrid like monk, I guess I'll be changing mains again.

I used to main black mage but now, I just don't know. I'm lost. I leveled up monk, summoner, black mage, and dark knight to 60, but none of them feel really interesting to play. I do Void Ark and roulettes as a summoner cuz summoner is my highest leveled job. My main? Just don't know. How's dragoon or ninja, if you don't mind me asking? I want to find my main job before the new relic quest.

WHM.

Usually in MMOs I always play a caster DD. But in XI I started as MNK, then remade a mithra WHM. I really enjoyed healing in XI. So when XIV came around, I thought I'd try LNC, this was 1.0. Found it a bit boring. When 2.0 launched I had a 6 month old daughter, so hearing that queues were quicker for heals and tanks, I decided to go back to my first MMO roots and WHM again.

So pleased I did. I really enjoy it. I do plan on leveling my MNK someday too. :3 I had it at 50 (as a dps for fc stuff if we had healers already) as homage to my first XI character.

SCH, because I easily tunnel vision and the fairy has saved my sorry arse more times than I can count. If you get me as your healer as AST or WHM, please forgive this fool if your HP drops to 1% before a saving Benefic/Cure II. :'>
