Hi all,

I've tried looking for this, but had no luck: I've only been playing FF14 for about a month now. I've got a Paladin at 50, and I'm considering leveling a DPS class for solo content. After some research, it seems like the Ninja or Samurai would be most fun for me, in terms of mechanics.

However! This new dps class would be almost purely for solo content; the vast majority of the time in groups I will go tank or healer. And I'm primarily picking up this dps melee class because I've been told that the tank classes are -much- slower comparatively, in terms of killing mobs solo.

So! With that out of the way, we get to my question to those far more experienced than me: is this correct? In *purely solo-content terms*, would I actually see a significant increase in dps with the Ninja or the Samurai, over a Sword-Oath Paladin?

Thanks in advance!
