What job is the highest priority to fix?

[Lambdafish]

I've seen a lot of posts around the forums saying "X job needs fixed" or "X job is broken and needs to be fixed NOW" and sometimes what we get in response is "Your job is fine because mine is worse". I'd like to ask people, objectively what jobs are in the worst state right now (both too strong and too weak)? And if jobs were to be fixed one at a time, what order would you say they should be fixed in?

I understand people may choose their mains or their favorite jobs to be fixed first but please try not to do this, I'm trying to understand what the communities perception of what the biggest problem in job balance is right now.

Still leveling it (only 75 at the time of posting this), but I feel like Dancer could be worked on a little bit to be more engaging. Right now it's one/two damage buff dances and two damage buttons that trigger a proc > proc that triggers another proc > proc that triggers another proc > proc that triggers yet another proc.

It doesn't really get any better.
You get Saber Dance + Espirit at 76, which is yet another Proc skill which gaining Espirits is RNG
and you gain 50 of those to use Saber Dance.
They don't tell you gaining Espirits is completely RNG either, so just a little heads up.
So have fun with that lol! DNC kinda stays the same from the moment you unlock it, until the end
and the level 80 spell is pretty underwhelming because it's too situational.
It's kinda fun, but I like 4.0 BRD better than Dancer. :/

IMO: AST. A lot of people already know why so I won't bother posting it again lol.

SAM. It hasn't been where it should be since they added it. Mostly cuz people keep saying that its "too good" just because they look at potencies and nothing else.

Its a selfish DPS only job that falls behind every other melee in terms of both raw dps and raid dps.

Monk needs to be nerfed especially as it will become more OP as the expansion goes on the way crit scales with the job.
Ninja needs to be adressed because of the mudra clipping.
Samurai needs some kind of change to increase dps but not just random potency buffs.
Summoner egi needs to be adressed.
Astro is still too weak and needs some looking at.
The ranged jobs need tweaking in terms of damage.
Red mage needs some damage tweaking also.
WHM,scholar,dragoon and blm are currently fine.

Not to mention the rotation is clunkier, where other classes had theirs smoothed out. Your rotation needs to be on a perfect loop with correct SkSp or your cd's start misaligning. If your Tsubame is a few seconds off after Midare, the next might not be up for a good few gcd's and you start losing uses. Shoha is useless, Hagakure is near-useless, Tsubama: Higanbana is useless.

I think Dancer needs to be buffed a bit. Wish the buffs were party wide too. The single target DPS is on the low side.

Summoner, my other main also feels like it needs some work done. I *love* busy jobs but at the moment this one just feels like its too much. Often find myself staring at the skill bar while playing and zone out instead of focusing on the fight mostly. I've been playing since 1.0 and that has never happened to me before!

AST I would love to see worked on too, not a fan of what they did to the cards.

BRD needs some love too.

It would be nice to some stuff changed to those jobs.

Disagree, and here's why: SAM is still stronger in terms of rDPS than every job but BLM, MNK, DRG, and arguably NIN. Just because it's not great in comparison to other melee doesn't mean it's so bad that it is priority #1. Melee has enough right now and ranged needs help the most especially jobs like MCH (a selfish job that is actually one of the weakest jobs in the game) and RDM

Just look at FFLogs and see which DPS classes are performing the worst, so DNC.

No its not. The fact you think it is is hilarious.

Also you made my point again, it's at the bottom of melee when it should be at the top. Like blm is for casters and mch is (or should be) for ranged

It's behind monk, which has raid buffs, and drg, which also has raid buffs.

The only job SAM should be comparable to is blm. Everything else should be lower. Why? Because they have no raid buffs.
