What decided your main job class?

Share your love for Final Fantasy 14 and what you like about your class.

Why do you main the job that you do?


If you want include favorite dps, tank, and healer, and why. For those of you that are 60's in everything ^^






So for me, my main is warrior. It's been that since late 2013 or early 2014. I guess this thread could boil down to which do you prefer: tank, healer, or dps?. but I'm not talking about that. What are the little quirks that make you love your class? Warrior is more forgiving when you make a mistake. This lets me relax while playing where as paladin you need to know the fight and be proactive. With cooldowns it's easy to pull 3 packs of monsters and not drop below 75% health, so less stress on your healer.
With such a large margin of error by way of HP, you have more time to react while learning something new or going in to a boss fight blind. So you don't have to be proactive but can easily adapt to healers or dps going down.


Just Curious what you all decided on. Love you all

Pet as Healer + Player as DPS = killer.

I don't like being DPS role since the DPS check is so tight.

Scholar-pet means I always have some help(which is something I didn't like with Astrologian and White Mage but I still use them), use a book(imagining I'm holding the Bible) and the name scholar helps me sound smarter.

I decided on WHM because I've always played a healer either first or primarily in all the previous MMOs I've played.
I guess I'm not really a fighter. I prefer to take care of the team than take care of the mobs.

The first time I went into a dungeon as a non-healer, it was so strange for me to be healed. I felt like "hey that's my job. No, wait, no it's not."
I really love being a healer after all.

The execution of it is pretty flawed, but I love the concept of AST - a more buff/support-oriented healer. I would have preferred our individual DPS be a lot lower but our support skills more powerful and reliable, but that ship has already sailed. Performance-wise it's okay, but it's hybrid design really annoys me with how lazy it is. Hoping the 4.0 skill additions give it it's own unique healing flavor, though again, I'm not holding my breath.

I keep maining it for two reasons: 1.) I've already invested a considerable amount of time and effort into learning it (doesn't hurt that I'm mid-240 step on the relic for it, either), and 2.) the spell effects are the most gorgeous ones in the entire game. Seriously, the amount of detail they have is staggering. I still love casting Aspected Helios or Celestial Opposition at random while in towns.

I did not want to hide behind a shield like a pansy, so I picked WARRIOR.

I wanted to play ranged mobile dps job shooting arrows.

And now I am a bard. Not mobile, not full dps. Oh well.

I chose AST cus its the only healer class to keep my interest up and keep me active out of WHM (Dont have SCH unlocked) but recently been trying to learn a new class but not having much luck with one to keep interest. Tried SMN but managing the stacks, dots, timers and all that is a bit much for me. Even BLM seems easier to me.

Bard
I really like archery and hunting irl, and im color blind so the safety of being ranged keeps me outta a decent amount of aoes, and gives me abit more time to react to some stuff.

Please don't fret AlphaFox/Rena, all the jobs got more difficult to play from 2.0 to 3.0.

I'd say bard was bordering on boring in A realm reborn. Because of how easy it was and the ability to hop skip and jump around willy nilly 24/7. With machinist it put support in a good spot. With procs your abilities become instant cast like old school A Realm Reborn. Gives Bard and Machinist more mobility than BlackMage for sure. Now knowing fights ahead of time and being strategic and fast with procs will come into play.
