Warrior looking to change to DPS and need some advice

[SpookyGhost]

While I don't play on controller, I actually found the transition from WAR -> MNK much more smooth than WAR -> DRG. DRG is basically an off GCD machine, more similar to DRK than anything. MNK, meanwhile, is very few oGCDs with a similar rotation to WAR (3 GCD per combo and stuff) just with a lot more positionals. The positionals kinda seem like they'll be overwhelming at first, but the flow just starts coming to you naturally after a bit of practice.

That said, DRG is a lot of fun, and if you enjoy that job better I wouldn't fault you for it. It might even be less hassle on controller, I'm not really sure.

I too found MNK to be an easy crossover from WAR. DRG has a tighter timed buff tacked onto it, but it can feel very rewarding... and battle litany is good in every situation.

The only job i've had trouble with on a controller has been SMN which has had to be macroed on summons to free up enough room for pet abilities on my hotbar. Outside of that controller can accomidate almost any class pretty easily. Especially if the have any skills that aren't applicable to most content (one inch punch, haymaker, feint).
