What is this class design of Dancer?

[Gihwezi]

Are you finding Dancer easier than Bard, Gihwezi? I started as a Bard, myself, but later dropped it because I found it too complex for me to play well in a party situation. Very easy to play solo, but much harder to use well in a dungeon.

I'm the sort of lazy player who plays games to relax, rather than to overcome great challenges, but I still want to do well and be an asset to my party.

Dancer is definitely easier than Bard (or 4.0 Bard, I haven't gotten a chance to level it yet, too busy with dancer ) by a long shot. I used to be a ninja main and then toyed with samurai for a bit ( which is still my second go-to job, I love Sam so much ) and then discovered Bard after finally giving up being too stubborn to level archer. Like some other people have said, Dancer is really, really beginner friendly, it may look like a lot at first but things start to click as you mess with it a little. To me, Dancer is all about finding that flow and grove, and once you're familiar with the moves, it all seems to just click into place!

I think you'll do fine in dungeons with it imo, the job is very forgiving even if you mess up, and it sort of leads you to what you should be doing next.

Thanks! I will definitely have to give it try.

Also, Dancer doesn't penalize you for mistakes when dancing the same way ninja does with messed up mudras. If you hit the wrong button you just lose 1 second of uptime and then need to be sure to hit the correct one next.

Yeah, the first time I missed a step I just assumed I was gonna eat a huge ninja-esque penalty and just stood there waiting for it, assuming I'd never be able to finish the dance, but was super surprised that I could keep going without being punished! It's a really, really forgiving job, it's great!
