Recommend me a ranged DPS

[Zaythe]

Heya DPS forums,

First time for posting here and looking for some pointers in the direction of a ranged DPS. Atm I play monk and I love the fast-paced, constant on the move playstyle. That said, I would really like to level up a ranged DPS for not only a different perspective but, I usually always play range in mmo's and quite enjoy them.

That said, I am a little torn on what ranged to play and was seeking your advice. I seemed to have moved towards BRD or MCH purely for the mobility however, at 52 this changes very much for both jobs. I kind of halted my BRD and MCH progression after reading that and have looked into BLM and SMN.

A problem I find in FFXIV for some reason is that casting feels clunky to me. I'm not sure entirely why I find it clunky but, in contrast to other mmo's I do not get that feeling. That said, I am open to both as a future job.

My number one enjoyment I find of out a class is not how high its DPS is or, how much the job is needed but, how fun I find that said job. Fun being subjective, what I find most fun is fast casts, mobility and lots of buttons to press. High dps is nice but, as I said, fun before dps.

If anyone feels like putting forward their view on which may or may not fit this role, please post below and tell me why you find it fun and why it meets my criteria.

I would greatly appreciate any posts and thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my question
