What job can you just not click with?

Blm. Figuring out the stacks then the mp stuff was weird.
Pre-shb Sch. Was waaay to complicated for me but shb made it easier to learn so I’m thankful for that.
Ast. Took me till 4.5 to learn how to ast. Spells just did not click with me. Remembering what each card did and how it affected spread was also daunting.

I was an old MNK main back in SB. I LOVED the Tornado Kick rotation. It made great use out of an otherwise useless skill that was only viable right before downtime.

Now it's useless and completely situational again along with, what, 2 other skills??? I'd really like for SE to decide on where the want to go with MNK and it seems like they have a vague idea with the removal of the RoF drawback, but I can't stand having abilities in my kit that I can't use frequently unless very circumstantial conditions are met.

So, I'm sticking with DRG as my main DPS class.

Now after reading everyone elses posts...
Since I like being a range and not too fond of melee to begin with.
I'll change up my first post and say
SMN/RDM.

SMN: I don't like how they are, period. They're getting on the right foot but remove Egi's and replace with actual summons like Bahamut/Phoenix.
RDM: I never liked RDM in any FF game, and this one is too BD Easy and boring. :/ I don't like the random fencing crap either.
It's nice and cool, but it's just...after I'ma range, I'm temp melee and it's kinda dumb lol.

Also -Insert Salty AST complaint-

RIGHT? T.T -hugs fellow monk main- Gonna need a care center after reading this thread.

It's the amount of positional you have to do at every turn. I don't even bother with DRG and there like what? 2 moves? Lol.
MNK should be one of the highest DPS charts from the amount of movement needed to be really good if they aren't already.
It gets tiresome. Fun job though, animations are fun.

Machinist.

I read the guides, watch videos, haunt people's logs, following all of the same rotations and timings and come out mediocre. It doesn't stop me from playing the job. I'm just not sure what exactly it is that I just seem to fail to grasp.

I loved rogue, but when I became Ninja, it ruined it for me. I can't stand the weaving of abilities setups to perform the ability. It's a nightmare for me, and I end up messing it up most of the time. I ended up giving up on Ninja, and went Samurai, and I don't miss Ninja at all.

If they took those silly combo power ups out of Ninja and gave it straight usable abilities instead, I would switch back.

Monk for me I liked it in HW and played it a bunch but after that I just dropped it and never wanted to play it again, maybe it was old Riddle of Fire? Idk just one of those classes that I dislike playing but with the new changes this xpac I might give it a shot again.

For me its monk. After leveling it, its just too many positionals. I dont like Bard because I dislike the animations, and AST just always felt too weak to me.

Samurai. The sounds grate on my ear and it’s big hit has a cast time. I don’t generally like cast times in any class design... but in melee it’s especially grating, made worse because the sound effects grate on my ears rather than pull me in.

I am trying to level everything to 80 for the amaro mount at the moment. Blackmage to me is like cutting my teeth on dry glass. Sorry Yoshi-P! I think the worse of it is the enochain management, being on a timer all the time gives me anxiety. I know its not difficult to maintain as there are many tools now for it specifically but I just don't find countdowns fun, it is nerve wracking. I also hate that because the game decided to go with the split element concept rather than the wheel that the job is only limited to three spells, forever and more. I would have found it more fun if I could cast a bit of everything and not just various degrees of fire.

For me what kills the fun in a job is:
1) Positionals
2) Maintaining a buff
3) Stances (although they got rid of a lot of these hurray!)
4) Too many buttons, abilities just for the sake of having abilities
5) Spamming the same elemental spell or attack

So black mage and monk tick most of these boxes and not surprisingly are my least enjoyed.

Melees. I've been playing casters (and sometimes ranged) jobs for so long that I just find approaching the enemy to hit it feeling pretty annoying. I also like having a good view of my area unlike melees who have their targets at point blank.
