Your Main Class - Which is it and Why?

[Reinha]

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.
