What job can you just not click with?

[Crasherino]

There's a few classes I've not unlocked and/or even got above 50 yet, but I'll put my piece down anyway.

Dancer has to be by far one of the most basic and simplistic classes I've seen in any game ever, you literally just press 1 and 2 and hope that the 50% proc kicks in for either of them, and then further hope that you get the next 50% proc to use your next attack, you will then use your dance to buff and forget for your team mate while scoring some decent damage, and then it's back to pressing 1 and 2 and hoping for procs, the animations are nice, but dear god what a boring class.

Take a shot every time you read MNK in this thread.

[Anienai]

Dps classes and white mage.

Summoner

I have plenty of jobs I don't enjoy playing, but Summoner is too galaxy brain for me to even try it. Thank goodness it's tied to Scholar.

Blu and Rdm
Compared to ffta and ffxi versions of the jobs, 14 absolutely did not “swing the bat” for those two roles after having multiple other ff games to compare them with. Both were my #1 goto roles in every other ff game, even ffx2 blue mage variant, but 14, nope. Im still insulted by them both.

It feels like SE all but abandoned blue too. The test run of it was supposed to be caught up by ShB instead its not even been updated once lol

The schedule calls for BLU to be updated in 5.1. This was known before release.

Some men just want to watch the world die of liver failure.

Any time I see that, I mentally slap the person. It's by far the easiest melee DPS in the game.

So much monk dislike in this thread

The jobs that don't click with me are BLM, SMN, and healers in general.

BLM tops the list because there is just way too much going on with this job. And the play style changes every 2-4 levels. So I can never wrap my head around how I'm supposed to optimally play it.

SMN is a close second. Also way too much going on. The whole pet management aspect was a huge turnoff for me. Haven't tried it yet in SHB though, hopefully it's better now.

I'm not good at healing because it's hard for me to balance keeping the group alive and doing decent DPS. I always end up doing too much of one and not enough of the other.

[Evanoel]

BLM, SMN, RDM.

I keep putting off leveling/playing them for unknown reasons. Maybe because they're dps who have to cast and stand still for a time. Weirdly, I have no problem playing all the healers.

Re: Mnk - fair. With the .05 changes it's gotten quite tough to optimise, and I can see how some people wouldn't want the constant movement.

Re: Brd - hrm. I don't get how you could like it in SB but not now. I get one of the main criticisms is that bard should be more supportive, and I agree, but you lost a completely non-interactive crit buff, and requiem which was jarring as hell to stop and cast for, that's it. If it doesn't feel supportive now; it was hardly that actively supportive then.

For me personally, Monk changes have pushed it out of my upper-list. I still find it fun but processing the new thoughts I have to have after 6 years are really difficult. Might be a muscle memory thing but for now I feel like it's out of my reach.

And warrior. It's just...not for me
