new player, trying to decide on class

[Estellios]

That is my problem. I am interested in a lot of them. Just hit level 10 with arcanist. I don't mind the magic, but I am not enjoying dealing with the pet. Lancer seems cool, so does ninja. I am very indecisive. That is why I tend to try to find the jack of all trades class. The one that can do a bit of everything so I can help with all roles.

I like those kinds of classes in games too, I think you would definitely like Red Mage as was suggested, since you do great DPS and some really useful support options for emergencies that can help save the party. The major downside to that is that unfortunately it's not available until you hit level 50 in another class. You should definitely try out a healer though. Your main focus is on keeping the party alive but in most of the non-hardcore content like dungeons you have ample time to throw in attack spells if you are doing your job correctly, and you can contribute quite a lot to the party. It's part of why i really like healing in this game.
