Anyone else not find Dancer appealing as a class?

If that's all you're doing as dancer you're not doing it right.

pfft im not a thick i know theres some fluff like Devilment and tech and Flourish then its step -1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 floursih is a minute long and steps are what 30 seconds? its not enough to spice the job up even with random ass sabers and fans. Flourish should be a early skill idk it takes forever for DNC to begin feeling fun but DNC is in a better position than a few other jobs like MCH and MNK with some resemblance of structure but its far too mindless for me and i dont wish for it to change that drastically

But it's not mindless 1-2-1-2 because you're regularly triggering steps 3 and 4. Thus if you are only hitting 1 and 2, you are doing it wrong.

Love DNC as a concept a blade dancer using Chakrams and the power of enticement however DNC in ff14 while not bad by any means and successfully made a unique ranged job, its not for me

Mainly its wayyy too easy like borderline the job you pick when your drunk or need to review mechanics, ya know a practice job and ff14 doesnt need jobs like that tbh. It isnt the easiest in the game that honor goes to the 5 button wonder, but DNC isnt so far off. idk mainly i hate it for robbing MCH rng with even worse rng or maybe the job is just left wanting.

This is my personal rating for the class itself

• Difficulty: 1/10
  Not much needed to be said here.
• Availability: 2/10
  Despite being one of the easiest (arguably easiest dps) class, it only opens up at lv60.
• Aesthetic: 8/10
  Subjective input here. Everything looks perfect to me until I decide to do some /gpose of their weaponskills for screenshots. The amount of inhumane clipping our avatar do to perform those acrobatic movement looks less amazing when it's highlighted. Otherwise I'd give them a 10/10.

I like playing DNC to look pretty (lol). I do know a few friend in my circle that doesn't appreciate the class' aesthetic though so you're definitely not alone there. I just wish they're introduced to the playerbase at earlier level due to how easy to utilize the class. Turn them into sort of... 'beginner tier physical ranged dps class'. Of course that's just a wishful thinking.

i love dancer its in my top 3 favorite jobs next to redmage and samurai

only problem i have with dancer is i cant seem to find a good glamour for it

since we‘re going basically to the place where dancer originated, i think there will be tons and tons of new glamour fitting dancer!! i‘m so excited for the glamour in 6.0!

Personally, I' not a fan of playing it. I can't really put my finger on it, but I just don't get the same satisfaction out of it as when I play Monk or Machinist.

If I were to have some sort of statement, it just doesn't feel right for me. However, if you enjoy it, and I know plenty that do, all the power to you. Regardless, it is still getting levelled to 90 in EW anyway. You never know, it might get something that I enjoy.

I love DNC, I realise it's simple to play and normally I am one for complexity but I love the way it flows and feels to play. And it's flashy.

If the Devs want an example of how to make a job that simple fun to play I'd point to DNC.

RDM is another like that, though I got burned out playing RDM.

Love dancer, but I would like to see the core mechanic tweaked somewhat. I like using the different colored steps to power up my dance, but having to physically avert my eyes to see the rotation then to double check which buttons are where is something I dislike.

I think I would have preferred set dance steps more like ninja’s mudra... so maybe one dance chain is better for parties (the current buff), and one better for solo, and one just does more burst damage at once...something like that.

So while Dancer is one of my top 3 favorite classes, I honestly find myself playing bard or mechanist more because they are just simpler.

I love the dancer, of the all physical ranged classes I play Dnc the most. I do sometimes play Brd just to spice it up a little. i only played Mch to level it to 80 haven't touched it since then.

Maybe it's because I'm a guy, but something about Dancer just rubs me the wrong way. I can't explain it. At first I thought maybe I didn't like it because it's kinda feminine, but it's not really that. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm dreading taking it to 80 and I'm probably going to save it till the last thing I need to level to get that mount.

I had a similar feeling about it, but I got around it by glamming the Late Allagan pvp set, and then pretending that I was a robot throwing laser discs. I don't mind the job being more skewed towards femininity, though my classic concept of the job is Buttz in the red outfit from FFV. It actually makes me think of Spain.

I will also say that the storyline was pretty neat imo. I enjoyed that part of it, most of all.
