    help me decide..?!

    Alright, normally I don't open topics but after spending weeks thinking about what job I could play next, I find myself unable to make a decision.

    Story time:

    I play the game since early beta and started with a simple dps class. Later during 2.x I switched to whm/sch, since my static needed a healer. However I found myself bored very quickly, not to mention that people of course always blame the healer if something goes wrong.... example: Twintania 1 shots you because you didn't use a single cd, it's defiantly the healers fault

    After a while one of our dps left the static due to irl obligations and all we could find was another healer. So I switched to tank, always wanted to play that and was quite happy about it. Started with pld and worked my way up to war.

    As 3.0 hit first class I level'd to 60 was pld, but I wasn't happy. As we all know pld changed but for me personally it's still a huge disappointment, and I decided to just level my war all the way to 60 and use it for raiding. Tried DRK but I just can't find any enjoyment out of that class.

    Anyways, with the release of 3.2 my internet provider comcast decided that playing the game the way it was meant to be, is too easy and kept dc'ing me every 20 minutes, to a point, where I would just join a DF group for expert, and right after I pulled or even while pulling, I'll dc or ending up with high lag issues. I personally felt, even tho most of the dps/healers never said a word, that I do an awful job as a tank if I can't even stay online or finish the roulette's, wasting the time of all others in that party.

    I made then the decision of switching to an dps. Thinking that if a dps dc's here and there it isn't as bad. I now finally switched my internet provider and have no issues with my connection anymore, however looking back at being a tank and I did love and enjoy playing that, it did have it's boring aspects.

    But here's the problem, I find myself logging in only a couple of nights for raiding, quit doing expert roulette's or any roulette's a long time ago.

    First I thought I would just unsub till March (2nd update of 3.55) or even till June (4.0), but it's not the game itself that is uninteresting to me, I think I am just bored of playing BLM/SMN for the last couple of months and not looking forward of playing it till the new expansion. Even tho, I have no desire of gearing up another job yet again, or starting yet another relic (just finished 2 lol), I think that might be the better option.

    Long story short, my question is, what job do you play and why do you enjoy playing it?

    note: maybe after reading some suggestions, and looking at some of the comments, I might change my mind about specific jobs or learn something I wasn't aware off, that would make it easier for me to switch/find a new class to play

    I play white mage since 2.0. I've always played a healer and I rather enjoy the small amount of god complex that comes with the class/role-type. I've dabbled with scholar and astrologian in raiding, but when push comes to shove, I just enjoy the ability to brute force high healing whenever I needed it. I enjoy the flexibility white mage's regens give as well as their spikey DPS thanks to assize, fluid aura and stone III to the tune of presence of mind. While I sometimes crave the mitigation tools astrologian and scholar have, I enjoy how straight forward white mage is as well. I don't have cards to deal with nor a fairy to manage.
