How do I find out which job I don't suck at?

[Ninster]

Especially now since I've already invested 825 Lore in the caster leg piece. I used to play SMN, but apparently not well enough. So I'm kind of stuck. At the least all my other jobs are ilvl 200+ so I guess I won't be too far behind.

The question shouldn't be what job do I not suck at.

The question should be what job is your favourite. Being good at a job doesnt mean you will enjoy said job and thats just going to lead towards negativity.

Plus liking a job can be used as motivation to get better at the job.

Not well enough to whose standard?
Play what you enjoy playing. If you're "bad", then practice.

I think this sums it up pretty well. I can understand too that some people can only enjoy a job if they're doing the best they can on it. So you could love a job and practice the hell out of it and never be "good". It's up to you though and like the previous posters said passion is key. Good luck OP!

I agree with the others, play the job you have the most fun as. If that isn't an option for you for whatever reason, then you could always hit up the SSS for your appropriate ilvl and see what you perform the best as.

If someone said to you that you're bad, just ignore him. Just play the job you like. If you want a improvemnt, you can search for guides or ask for help. You shouln't be force to play a class you don't like. Play for fun, so, play what you like more! If you like SMN, go ahead!

Play them all, find out which one you like, and/or git gud.

But seriously, sticking with a class simply because its strong is the worst thing you can do. Find one that matches your playstyle and go from there. Research rotations and ask for help if you have to.

Play what you enjoy, definitely. One of my gaming buddies would play whatever class was the biggest hitter in mmos, and while he's a really good player, he usually ends up wanting to quit the game much sooner than I would because he wasn't having much fun. He was about to do the same in ffxiv as well but I persuaded him not to. Now he quite likes being a ninja.

You may not be good now, but there is always room for improvement if you are willing to put in the effort. I used to be a derpy bard whose dps was apparently so low, I got kicked out of pony farms even though I was mechanically perfect... after researching rotations and learning about things like stat weights and food, I became good enough to do end-game raiding.

If you have experience with previous MMOs, we might be able to give you some advice based on the play style you like.

Ultimately though, everyone starts off somewhere and have to overcome some wall at some point in their life. It's far easier and funner to train in something you enjoy than based on a theoretical aptitude or opinion devised by some teenager with too much time on their hands.

Just work on it and try to tell us a little more detail about what the person said, what the fight was, and your thoughts on what you did wrong. Everybody's been at that point, so it's not like we'd say you suck just because you asked some random strangers on the internet how to improve.

Stick with it! SMN is a very fluid class. Just check out a couple of different guides and there's differing opinions on it, so imo play how you wanna play and have fun. :3
