At What Levels and For Which Classes is Gameplay Too Shallow, Too Complex, or Perfect

DRK is pretty boring until 70. It used to be really fun to play at 60 in HW, but they took away a lot from it I feel. It's even more mundane below 60. Being able to spam TBN, Quietwhatever, and Abyssal drain on mobs at 70 is quite satisfying on the flipside.

NIN is NIN, at whatever level. Probably the least affected class by the 4.0 changes, and it feels just as enjoyable at every level 50 onward.

SMN is probably the one class that sticks out for dramatically changing when you get DWT. It's utterly boring before then.

AST feels pretty bad before 30 (when you can start drawing cards, unlock a sect). Got low level dungeons a couple of times when I was leveling it and it always was such a drag, cos pre cards AST pretty much feels and plays exactly like WHM. And even then it doesn't really start being fun until at least 40, preferably 52(when you unlock your AOE).

Basically what they said, but even at level 70 DRK IS THE WEAKEST of the 3 tanks mostly because of how much they lost and REALLY hates healers that DPS even though tank should be doing as much damage as DPS to make up for healers crappy DPS... Not sure if they want healers to heal more but they should at least encourage tanks and healer and DPS that do a lot of AoE damage to do more big pulls if you already know how the dungeon is going to play out...
