Hardest and Easiest

[Ticks]

Just curious - with Shadowbringers - what would be the hardest, most demanding rotation and the easiest?

[Laur1x]

NIN/SMN/MCH for hardest.

[White_Wolf_X]

NIN/SMN/MCH for hardest.

As a mch main.. i have to say ... what?

[giwaman]

NIN/SMN/MCH for hardest.

I can agree with ninja and smn

but MCH WUTTT? Mch is very casual friendly and easy atm.

[Darkstride]

NIN/SMN/MCH for hardest.

Ninja and Summoner for sure, because they are just loaded with abilities and it takes a lot of work to push out DPS. I wouldn't agree with Machinist as hardest, though. It's busy and has a lot going on, but it isn't nearly as reliant on Wildfire as it once was and doesn't have a strict rotation. The only difficulty comes from properly prioritizing your abilities.

This. MCH didn't even have a hard rotation back in SB, when your 1-2-3 was based off of RNG procs. Even the Wildfire rotation wasn't hard once you got into the groove of it, it was just busy, and unforgiving when it came to ping. Now, MCH is even easier, and much more forgiving. So it most definitely isn't hard now.

I'd say RDM for easiest. Only ever a few buttons to push at any given time.

[Seraphor]

MCH before 5.0 was up there with NIN and SMN, but not anymore.

RDM and DNC for easiest though. With SAM and BLM a step up from there. Then maybe MCH, BRD, MNK and DRG fighting it out in the middle.

[HumanNinjaToo]

As a fairly new player, I'd say that BLM is pretty easy. Although I am not to the point where ley lines and such have come into play :P

In terms of pure DPS rotation Bard is without a doubt the easiest, because generally there are only three buttons that require pressing (Burst Shot, Bloodletter/Pitch Perfect procs and the occasional Iron Jaws). Add in Sidewinder every 60 seconds and maybe Apex Arrow during AoE and that’s all there is to it.

For hardest, while I have limited experience and understanding of the job (I just play it for fun really and it’s only level 74) I’ve found Ninja to have the most difficult rotation. On top of having to meet positionals and go through combos, you have Ninjustu to weave into the GCD, Ten Chi Jin to work into the rotation, Ninki abilities, all whilst having much lower DPS than most other jobs (from what I’ve read anyway)
