So my plan was to continue to main my white mage since I love healing and samurai was going to be my dps (which admittedly I don't feel I'm that great at yet. Decent tho.). Now I always like to go against the norm and the sam was immensely popular. It is the only sword dps in the game so its natural. I still like it but decided to shelf for a bit. I like machinist (contrary to it disappointing me time and again), and not many people use it. I also really like red mage. I don't tunnel vision like I do with machinist. It also has emergency heal/raise which I like coming from a white mage.


I finally got the machinist gimmick down tho its stressful sometimes making sure I get everything just right. I also have a pistol sized gun which makes up for the aesthetics of the class.

The red mage is crazy flashy, more streamlined, and allows me to focus more on the fight. I also quite like the 70 gear.

Can you guys make an argument for one or the other to help me decide?

Yes I know you can have both, but I don't fee like levelling both all the way right now.
