Which job will you level first?

[Connor]

If there weren’t already 7 billion people going Dancer I would also play as my main because I’ve been waiting and asking for a support oriented job since 2.0 lol.

With so many people going Dancer I don’t think I’ll main it. I wanted to go Scholar main after the healer changes were announced but with all the doom and gloom surrounding the announcements and media tour impressions, I’ve lost my hope that it’s going to be fun.

I would just continue with my current main which is Bard, but with the changes making it a highly mobile, high DPS class with little party support, instead of being support oriented like it used to be, I’m kinda done trying to turn it into something it never will be (a support oriented low damage DPS). At least we still have Minne and Paean...woohoo...shame they’re never worth using over a DPS oGCD, especially with all the proc changes

So yeah, I honestly have no idea what I’m going to main anymore lol. If they don’t release a list of the ability changes before expansion I genuinely think I’ll have to wait until release to decide lol

Might seem like it but after some weeks the hype will die down. At the end of the day unless people are convicted on switching primary roles, main tanks will remain tanks, main healers will remain as healer and main DPS will always preffer to be DPS, that split between wanting to punch things on the face, be a fancy mage or being a little bit more exotic.
Back on ARR everyone was like "I'm going to be a main rogue!" and it seemed like the game would have nothing but Rogues for the rest of the year. Same with all the people that got hyped for AST giving the impression healer queues would be no longer 2 seconds long because of the new influx of healers. Then SB with SAM and RDM. Now this with Dancer.
A lot of people will be trying out dancer, but I'm calling it now that not a lot of people will remain as one as a primary job, because it still follows the same standards of every other job.
If you really like the concept and the idea of dancer, and on top of it likes the idea of filling the role of the damage dealer on content, then I wouldn't let the fact dancer is something new jeopardize the fun of playing one. I'm a main Red Mage since day 1, and while it was a little challenging to find groups in need of one for the first couple of months, eventually it got to the point in which it wasn't difficult at all, simply because 1) Some people realized RDM is not for them, 2) Pretty much everyone that mains RDM today already had SMN or BLM as a favored job anyways and 3) Some people were so passionate about playing one that they gave up on their primary job/role just to play the class. Everyone else just leveled it up because it looks cool and left it at that to play what clicks the most with them.

As for me, I'll probably give dancer a go, but I won't say I'll absolutely be a main end-game dancer raider because there's always more to it than just liking the "imagery" of a job. cough cough Machinist cough

[Kasmiya]

DNC or BRD first. I haven't 100% decided. Knowing me though I'll fall for the hype and go right for DNC though lol.

[White_Wolf_X]

Dancer and machinist.

[LalaRu]

RDM for the Main Story, then DNC.

[Zalinaire]

Think I'll go FSH alongside BRD.

[SaitoHikari]

My answer's the same as it was two years ago.

Bard.

[cougarel]

Hmm this time gonna go with Whm , then level GNB, DNC and after all the rest Ast, DRk, Pala, Sch, War.Gonna leave the dps classes last since I enjoy support classes more.
But first and foremost gonna change to Viera

Cheers!

MCH since 3.0 and not stopping now. After that I'm very keen to try GNB, never been this excited for a tank before. Tertiary....probably SMN+SCH? But despite it falling under the same role as my main, BRD still looks to have one of the most fun kits.

[Araxes]

Warrior/Dark Knight.

Knowing MMO's there will always be a Tankshortage and even though we can now level with NPC's, Expertdungeons and Extremetrials wont have that luxury.
Also.... it just has something to be a tank main
