Is dancer a waste of time?

But I generally go with the argument, unless you're looking to optimise to the max, go with what you enjoy playing because chances are, you'll be better at it versus a meta job you don't enjoy. And if bigger deeps and bigger numbers are what do it for you, then yes, DNC might not be what you're looking for.

Exactly, I've said this to everyone in every MMO I've seen that's ever asked the question "should I play <this class> or <that class>?" My answer is always the same..."the one you like playing more", you'll never be happy playing something someone else decided for you. Play what you enjoy. There's been plenty of times in these games where I've been playing "the worst class in the game" but I didn't care because I liked it, and it didn't prevent me from accomplishing the things I wanted to either.

It's something that's always bugged me lol. I feel it's only important when you are of that level for it to matter. The MCH in my FC ended up getting refused to PF groups in HW because he was a MCH and MCH can't DPS well and yet he was capable of out DPSing a lot of people.

But you've reminded me, I was pretty stubborn about playing the job I liked in FFXI. I was a SCH main there, for the Abyssea content SCH was pretty undesired, I used to get told it couldn't heal well enough to keep up, and WHM was considered the only choice as healer, because SCH was 2 tiers of Cure behind WHM.

And the proc system they had meant there was a pretty exclusive group of jobs. Shout groups would ask if I had a WHM or BLM instead, I had refused to level them so I was able to leave them with the choice of taking me or wait ages for a WHM to respond. I found I kept up fine and we still had a set up by which they could cover procs. When it came to forming a static, I ended up our main healer and was dependable.
