Disabled person looking for easiest to play class/job

[LiskA]

i would recommend to play a NON DPS healer, it will give you a lot of room to chill while playing. Also keep in mind to turn off showing Party Chat infos (via chat filters), so you don't have to read the complaines about Healer DPS.

Yea, would be a real shame if people actually looked at the Conjurer quest line where SE openly mocks people who don't dps as a healer. For good reason.

I can't for the life of me figure out why people keep recommending PLD as an "easy" tank job. PLD has by far the most utility oGCDs of all tanks, and nearly all of them are used regularly.

Warrior is the easiest and least-hectic tank job. There is almost no weaving and no double-weaving required. You can get away with an VERY low APM on it. Perfect for someone who has trouble with their hands hurting as you don't have to press many buttons at all.

I recommended paladin because it is (for me) the most intuitive tank to play. The abilities do grow in number but I don't feel stress from clicking on all the buttons.

With that said, you are totally right about warriors. They would be fantastic for someone with trouble with their hands.

Kallistra, and the much missed Selli, recommended that the OP try out different classes and play the one they liked the most. I think that's the best advice, really.

BUT...

In the interest of helping the OP, I'll list what jobs to avoid for now.

Monk. Now, I love monk. It's simple to play and does good damage. However, it requires a lot of button pushing.

Dragoon. The same. I adore the job and am leveling it on an alt. Again, easy to play but requires a lot of button pushing.

Black Mage. This one is borderline. It has an easy rotation but you have to be really good at picking where you should stand. This will frustrate new players. But, it is a fun class.

Dancer. Super fun, but dear goddess... your fingers will cry.

Machinist. The same as dancer. Love this job but it is busy as hell.

Samurai: Nice class. Try something else first to build up your speed and confidence.

Interesting. I love MCH too, but if you think it's busy then you should try SMN. As SMN main I go to MCH when I want to not be so busy.

Another aspect that hasn't been brought up here is hardware. Controller vs keyboard/mouse. Using special gaming keyboards, foot pedals and the like can also make the game more accessible for those with physical issues. I would have a hard time with this game without my Logitech G13.

Good advice. I bought a g600 MMO mouse last year and it helps me pull off my aoe rotations by using the 7-8-9 buttons. I feel like I should get much more use out of it but each time I use a thumb press my hand contracts so that the pinky catches the mouse to keep it from moving right so using it affects my targeting and movement pretty badly. I have difficulty using modifier keys so the mouse is still useful only using 3 of 12 but I wish I could use more.

I play PLD as my main tank but I recommended WAR because of the paladins' utility defenses which require getting a player targeted before they are cast.

I'd say Red mage once you get a class to 50. As for a class that might be easy on your hands till then, I'd say try out Gladiator into paladin.

Bard, its the easiest. Gives you mobility while still being able to dps. (which is the hardest part of a melee/caster is figuring out WHEN to use your skills for max dps) while as bard its a little less important because you can dodge and still dps.

Would not Advise playing bard anything past 60^ Bard requires constant attacking pressing skills, keeping up DoT's, singing your songs. It only gets faster in the higher levels. Depends on what level you plan on going to.

I think the lowest APM classes are Warrior for tank, White Mage for healer and Black Mage for DD. Black Mage is actually the only job in the game wich is generally slower than the GCD because of their long cast times and the lack of any off-GCD attacks (but there are some off-GCD buffs to press).

For any non-casual content, a BLM's performance is based on how well they manage their uptime, and its APM means very little... it's also not particularly forgiving of mistakes in that respect.

Granted, the OP just wants something for leveling, where it'd be okay, but a tank or healer would be even better picks. You could get away with most DDs if you're just questing, anyway.
