Most consistent dps class throughout ffxiv lifespan. Planning on switching mains.

[Yani-Madara]

Currently, Sam is a lot harder than Nin because of Tsubame raid buff alignment.

(Been doing savage with both classes.) Sam is only easy if you don't care about optimization and losing a lot of dps. (Not trying to be rude. It's just that if someone mains Sam expecting easy big daddy dps, they are going to be hit with harsh reality when Savage Parties kick them out for low dps.)

I suggest leveling all DPS to 80 in case they screw up your main in a patch/expansion.

If not, well I suggest long rage or casters: SMN is a caster with mobility, MCH is a bit similar to BRD with no dot or song management.

And lastly, RDM and DNC are the easiest classes.
