cant find a dps job in this game that i don't have a problem with

What dps classes did people who hate the dps classes in this game play in other games if they think ffxiv dps is boring or simple or all the same? I'm not even trying to take a side in the argument, I'm simply curious. If possible, I'd be interested to know specific expansions as well.

How close does it need to be to a WoW-style MMO? I haven't played WoW, but since the design principles are similar I don't think I would enjoy their DPS classes. If you cast the net a little broader... GW2, I enjoyed Elementalist and Engineer, for example. Firefall, back when it was playable, even the simple and straightforward assault class was pretty fun. If you're willing to go even broader than that... Heroes of the Storm, pretty much any of the Specialist role. Sgt Hammer for straight, high DPS, but sometimes characters like Sylvanas or Murky as well. World of Warships, Carriers, but sometimes high-DPS Cruisers.

Personally I'm aware that FFXIV's DPS design in inherent in the type of game it is so I'm not expecting the devs to wildly change it up. But it just probably won't ever be something I enjoy.

edit: Oh, to add one more. The Secret World! It doesn't have classes, but... I went assault rifle spec. Hybrid DPS and healing. It was fun. The combat in that game gets a lot of complaints but ARs were actually pretty well done, IMO.
