What DPS job do you find the most fun and why?

Blm. I love the new skills, we are more mobile than ever and the 2 more seconds on AF and UI are really nice to have.
And who doesn't like doing lots of damage with throwing explosions at peoples heads.

And Dancer so far. Most of the animations look pretty and it's fun to play.

I really like my RDM. Fun and easy.
Also lvled BRD to 70, that was fun, too, bit more complicated.
ATM working on DNC, great with aoe and the dancing is fun.
Looking at MCH too, ranged physical dps seem to be in a really good state atm.

Since i don´t like melees i can´t say much about them.

Sam. I love the style. I love the animations. I love the damage. I can't play any other dps.

Since 5.0 changes, so far BLM mainly because the rotation is so smooth. It's so unfair it does so much damage with such a smooth rotation when you have more complicated smn and nin that can't even come close.

Still a big fan of ninja, but it's not worth it to be a trick attack bitch. It's all they're good for now since they lost their enmity manipulation.

My personal favorite is the Dragoon. And Machinist of Stormblood. Despise the new one, tho. Why Dragoon? Stylish, durable, "that's a lot of damage!" out of the ass, great Job storyline and history. Love to jump around and dodge AoE's and other hazards in fight, just to jump in a second later. Feels so active and smooth. It's just like the Job was made for me to play.

Enjoying DRG a lot more this expansion. The streamlining of heavy thrust into the combos and having only one source of dive-ready significantly reduced the amount of mental load needed to execute DRG.

It was sorely needed. I played both BLM and DRG in stormblood and BLM was infinitely more simple while producing absurd amounts more pDPS... with the advantage of range and lack of need for positionals. DRG felt like 10 times the work for significantly less DPS contribution, where people were struggling to meet enrage timers in savages.

I still feel SQE underestimates the difficulty/workload of positionals and overestimates the difficulty of needing to move as a caster (even BLM). I do very much appreciate the two-stacks on true-north for this reason. BLM has a myriad of tools to assist casting on the move. As long as you learn the fight mechanics you can easily continuously cast on most bosses... but it's not that easy to always satisfy positionals.

I’m a monk main till I die, even though it’s very unfun to play right now. Machinist on the other hand has been so fun to play because of how busy yet fluid it is

I'm not really partial to a specific job, as I am more focused on a role: ranged DPS.

Admittedly, BRD feels a lot like more of the same from SB, and that's not a bad thing as a far as I am concerned. It is a comfortable pair of slippers I can slide into when I'm feeling lazy. DNC, despite the low personal DPS that I don't like, makes me feel very useful to the party (as it should) - and the RNG-based gameplay usually keeps me pretty engaged in whatever I'm doing. Also - En Avant is awesome.

I'm completely in love with the revised MCH, and I consider this to be my preferred main in content where there isn't a better geared or higher optimized MCH around. I thrive in jobs that have a high APM.

Granted, I have zero experience with any of my other DPS jobs in the context of ShB reworks/additions/subtractions, but I really have no desire to branch outside of this role for this expansion. So far.

I've only played BLM and DRG. They're both really fun. The BLM is crazy though. It's like they were watching Konosuba and were like, "Let's do that!" The Lv72 skill Despair is throwing a miniature sun before exploding it. Feel like we need Klaxons going off when we use it. Between Between the Line and Aetherskate and the 15 sec timer, everything is so smooth. And the most important change of all, Freeze is useful. With the zero MP trait, you can go from Flare straight into it. Burning big pulls has never felt better. And Sharpcast is now 30 seconds. So much sparking.

Geez, BLM actually sounds amazing right now. I may need to finish leveling mine.
