Tier list!

I'd also like a bit of thoughts on the placement of Machinist. I don't feel it's above B Tier but I'm wondering if there might be something I missed involving it but not including its burst.

As far as their placement relative to other ranged dps, I feel they're all pretty damn close to each other (same tier) with BLM edging out in top play (especially when partnered with a WHM.) As I mentioned before, the list should be separated/looked at relative to their roles due to the enforced composition; you can't really say SMN is better than DRG because you can't take a SMN over a DRG to begin with, there can't be a direct comparison between these two.

I see what you're saying. I did think about that originally but when putting it together it became a little odd due to the small number of total jobs we have per role.

For Melee we have 3. For Tanks we have 3. For Healers we have 3. Then for Ranged we have 4.

It just felt weird and off while formatting it and I scrapped it for the current system. Though I guess the original idea could work with a format with something like.

[Role : Melee] Adrenaline Rush : Raw Destruction : ( Description of Raw Destruction)
Tier-1 Monk
Tier-2 Dragoon
Tier-3 Ninja

Any thoughts? I think there's been more than enough discussion to consider overhauling this list from a idea while bored in class to a proper and fully fledged tier list.

As much as I like the idea, its hard to make tiers when some compositions just have an overall better synergy thus being more efficient in the end. For example, I do agree MNK is a better melee job overall on pvp, he pretty versatile has a good chunk of defensive skills, one ilm punch can remove a lot of important buffs and good damage overall. But a DRG can improve a physical ranged partner's damage while having one of the best bursts together with it. Other example is how Noct AST's weakness is to heal multiple targets at once that can be covered up by a PLD who has amazing aoe protective skills and Clemency. So if we decide to actually put a tier list together we should think on what a job can do alone on pvp and I think this list that our Cynric friend made doesn't get too far from the solo pvp potential of each job. I'd only put MCH a bit higher on the list. I find them annoying to deal with.
