Anyone else not find Dancer appealing as a class?

I have to admit I both like & dislike DNC. I like how easy it is to do either single-target damage or a group-wide attack - for me the fact it generally has fairly few key-presses (even with doing the dances every 30-60 seconds) is good, as I have an disability which effects my reflexe's & reactions... so a ranged class that's easy (ie 1,2 with 3,4 as they light up, along with hitting the big AoE and fan skills when buffed).

The other main aspect I love about it is I feel like I can help groups out with it's utility. Dunno how much putting the shield up helps, or using the healing... but when I'm doing group content I always try and get my shield up if I see a group/raid/map-wide AoE coming, or if I see a tank/healer about to de I'll pop the heal by them to try and help out... or if we've just done a stack and all low on hp, hit the heal to help out. I get the same feeling when playing my RDM and I see healers down, hit the fast cast and rez. Helps my mind out as I know my dps won't be the best (ie see my issue's), so I like to try and do what I can (both RDM & DNC are in best gear I can, with +60 stat melds)

What I don't like about it is the aesthetic / look when you draw your weapon. I personally think it's pretty lame to stand there jumping up and down holding your weapons at your side. Really doesn't look worrisome / intimidating / etc when in a cutscene or something and your character inter-ject's between 2 NPC's to protect the 1 from the other. Admittidly this is the same issue I have with SMN & SCH as well... whipping out a book just.... doesn't look great IMO.

Hahaha this. When you think of the "Warrior of Light" or being the "hero" pulling out a book just doesnt have the same feel as pulling out a giant Sword or a Spear or something sharp. Unless of course your goal is to papercut someone to death lol!
Funny thing though, I'd classify both SMN and DNC as my two main jobs. (White Mage as my third but only for helping my FC get content clears)

In a way its good we're getting Sage with the Nouliths for healers, because books, cards and a stick just do not have that "threatening" look you expect from the "hero" of the story haha. But those Nouliths do look pretty cool. Basically like some kind of souped up version of Yondu's Yaka arrow weapon in Guardians of the Galaxy. But instead of one you've got.. what is it six nouliths?
