    Samurai has a very simple core rotation, so it appears to be an easy job at first glance, but as you level it up it continually requires more and more attention to little details and adjustments based on the situation in order to make use of its entire kit well. I count it as one of the harder jobs to play because of this.

    Anecdotally, seeing how well other Samurai players in my parties perform shows a large skill gap with it with notable extremes on either end being common. It's about as common to see a well-performing Samurai as it as an underperforming one, particularly in dungeons with the AoE rotation, and middle of the road Samurai tend not to be as frequent. Also, when a SAM is good or bad... it's really good or really bad. The swing between one or the other tends to be quite large. In contrast, the Red Mages I see show a much smaller skill gap and tend more to be middle of the road performance-wise rather than having a lot of extremes either way. I.e. it's actually hard to do poorly as a RDM as long as you're following the basic rotation, and while there's optimization to be done it's not as obvious a result as it would be for a SAM.

    Red Mage is one of the easiest classes in the game to play.

    Just don't be alarmed when you have 50 levels worth of skills the moment you unlock it. Be sure to look up a guide so you can understand how it's played. But how it plays at 50 is roughly how it plays at 80 as well, you just get some new tools and abilities along the way.
