Your Main Class - Which is it and Why?

[EvinnaReed]

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.

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. :'>

PLD. I love the tanking in this game, the feel of controlling the field and directing where the fight goes and being the person who can take the hit from the boss and stand there like, "Is that all you've got?" At this point, being that it was my first class, I've gotten really used to playing PLD and knowing it's capabilities. I do play all of the classes and while I like certain things about other classes (I only ever use my BRD in 24 man content so I can keep myself far from stupid) I always fall back to my PLD.

BLM because Fire IV crits.

[gddanimations]

MNK, I love the constant movement in combat and the animations.

[Hivernica]

Scholar, always. I like the other healers but always come back to scholar in the end.
My secondary is dragoon because...I don't know. I just love it more than any other dps class.
My tank is dark knight for whatever reason. It's just the one I have at lvl60. I have warrior and paladin at lvl50 and before Heavensward, my favorite tank was paladin because the warrior's stacks felt weird, which is weird in itself since I've been playing scholar for so long. And yet, I have no trouble managing mp on DRK and keeping darkside up 100% of the time.

[Taur]

My main class started as a summoner. I love their spells, but I've gone back to my ninja since then. I love the quick use of their skills and the movement. I've also always been a sucker for the theif classes, they're my favorite.

WHM. I'm pretty supportive in nature so it was kinda fitting at first.

Though at one point I wanted to be an all around mage and lvled all my magic classes to 50 and even considered having BLM as my main. Anyways lvl cap increased and WHM changed considerably with multiple dots and a dumbed down stoneskin (I now call paperskin) but I still use it as I've been attuned to the lore of the WHM protecting nature, even though I hate those magical beings that assist you (the ones with the horns) since they contradict to what I find as good. Its a class quest thing :/. Still don't like astro, scholar and arcanist i moved aside as I'm kinda bored of it, and BLM I lvled to 60 as well since I still need that nuke power the BLM can dish out, the story is pretty good as well. X) So WHM main for now till it deviates from what I like, the'll I'll most likely be a BLM main.
