Most low apm dps class and why ?

Great, just what we need, another person on my favorite job who doesn't have the slightest intention of even trying to perform well while playing it. Personally I recommend dancer. It's far more mobile and you spend 90% of your time just hitting a 1-2 combo. Also as long as you use devilment you can just let players who actually put forth effort do all the work instead.

Just because you have CT doesn't mean you can't perform well, and she never said she would play the class like that did she? I have CT and play as best as I possibly can. She was trying to find a lower APM DPS, and I assume meaning a class she can play optimally even with wrist and hand troubles. Red mage DPS APM is still in the lower range, especially compared to WoW. Even with CT it's possible to play it well. APM is more about how much you MASH buttons, not complex rotations. treating someone like a bad player due to pain isn't cool, I'm sorry to say.

What you want is a job that's 40 CPM (Cast per minute, similar to Actions per minute) or lower and to play with controller if possible.
