You had one job!

[Anienai]

WARRIOR!!!

[Catwho]

Hello, I am the weirdo that plays all the jobs. (Except BLU. Sit down, BLU, nobody likes you.)

I level up all the jobs to the current level cap. From there, I decide which ones I like the best, and that's probably my "main" for the expansion. But I also pride myself on knowing most jobs such that I can swap in and out to them if there's ever a need for it.

Current Savage main: SMN because that's what my group needed.

Current open world main: Bard because pew pew

Current tank main: Everything but GNB because I just didn't feel that job as much but I love all three of the other tanks equally. I DRK for 80 and PLD or WAR for stuff under 70

Current main healer: SCH but in a pinch I can also WHM and if hard pressed I can AST but it's my least favorite

All other DPS: NIN, MNK, DRG, DNC, SAM, MCH, RDM, and BLM all get rotated through non-raid content for funsies. They all stay within a patch of current gear. They all have fun glim glams. BLM is probably my weakest job, since SMN melded caster gear means BLM doesn't get the spell speed love it needs to play at its best. Just last night I was farting around on DRG in Delubrum.

I'm still in the MSQ (I took a long break and am getting back into the swing of things). I use Machinist primarily for anything MSQ or the very low-experience patch side quests like Omega.

I use Paladin as my back up class for any local side quests (I'm one of those people who cannot leave an exclamation point on my map if I can possibly avoid it.) I've been trying to level up Summoner on roulettes though, because I want to be able to do all the role quests.

I use white mage for PVP. At least Frontlines. I used to use it for Feast as well, but around the time that Shadowbringers came out, the abilities were changed and I lost the knack. (I'm thinking of trying again as a DPS instead - harder to mess up an entire group with one's own incompetence.)

I play and level every job in this game just so I can help others if they need it as well as being able to help where needed, but I of course have a main job (rdm) that I'm on usually. Tankwise I lean towards Gunbreaker or Warrior. For some other things I like to use Bard or Dragoon. Healers... I guess WHM atm until Sage is out lol.

[Bright-Flower]

I have everything leveled, but here's how they're broken out.

My 'mains: Dancer, Paladin, White Mage. Dancer in particular is the one I bring now and then into EX content, but that's pretty rare. So far I've really only done MM runs for glams and some Diamond Weapon attempts with my FC.

Jobs I play now and then if I want a change of pace in maps/dungeons etc: Ninja, Red Mage, Monk, Dragoon.

Jobs I don't really know what I'm doing and have barely touched since hitting 80: BLM, Summoner, Bard, Machinist, AST, Scholar, SAM, DRK, WAR.

Enter combat. Do your Kasha combo (Hakzae > Shifu > Kasha) to get your speed buff (makes your rotation go faster). Then do your Gekko combo (Hakaze > Jinpu > Gekko) for your attack power buff. After that, it depends on whether or not you are fighting one mob or multiple. For single targets, use Higanbana to apply a DoT to the enemy (use Hissatsu Kaiten before it to buff Higanbana). Then you just spam Midare (use Hissatsu Kaiten before it to buff Midare), and keep your buffs and DoT up. For multiple enemies, you just use Tenka Goken (use Hissatsu Kaiten to buff it).

Try to keep at least 50 Kenki saved at any given time, so you can spend it on Hissatsu Kaiten to buff an attack or on a movement ability (Hissatsu: Gyoten to close distance, and Hissatsu Yaten to backstep away from a boss AoE). Use Shinten to dump excess Kenki if you are nearing the cap of 100 Kenki. Meditate is used when you are in combat but there is nothing to attack, ie during a phase transistion in a boss fight. Use Meikyo Shisui, Hissatsu Senei, Tusbame-Gaeshi, and Shoha on cooldown.

Third Eye, Merciful Eyes, and Hagakure are niche optimization stuff that only really matters at endgame raiding. Don't worry about it. You will pretty much never ever use Enpi for anything and can safely leave it off of your bar.

Your last paragraph just put you in the freestyle sam category. Congratulations

Your last paragraph just put you in the freestyle sam category. Congratulations

Try a real rotation and not ever miss a buff window and you’ll see it’s much harder than “easy melee”. And opened eyes is a gain and and defensive all in one. Should try

I leveled all for the sake of completion & likes to be versatile, so I can't easily single out 1 from 17 available combat classes in this game. Although DRK, MNK, and SAM remains untouched ever since I maxed them out. Now that they're out of the way, here goes... for each role

Melee: NIN
Something about their aesthetic pleases my eyes. I also love the niche mix of melee and ranged potential in their kits.

Ranged: DNC & BRD
I like BOTH weapons. I like more supportive roles in any group contents. Now the question is do I want to be busy (I'll pick BRD) or do I want a more relaxed, chill gameplay (DNC)?

Caster: RDM & SMN
Almost all aspect of RDM pleases me. They have hats (lol!), they have rapier, they have utilities, and they can backflip (to death lmao)! As for SMN, I just love books. Biased? Yes. Don't blame me for that :<

Tank: WAR
Fell Cleave? Fell Cleave... FELL...CLEAVE!!!
Fun aside, tank is noticeably my least comfortable role to pick most of time so I'd rather have something simple on hand. WAR fulfill that need. Axes are badass too... and honestly, originally made a MRD/WAR all because I just want to honor Ardbert ;_; he made me want to try tanking for first time.

Healer: All three
Simple. Healer is my go-to role in any games. The nature of its role is to be more supportive in the team than offensive never fail to entice me to try out all and better myself with them. If I really have to pick one of them, I'd go with SCH because GREEN and BOOKS ( Again I'm just biased with books, don't blame me ;w; )

[Awha]

Warrior cause I like to smash.

Though I mostly play tank and heals, GNB being my favorite to play overall with warrior being my favorite for dungeon and solo content.

When it comes to healers I enjoy WHM, and SCH, I was never able to really get into AST, I enjoy the concept behind them just did not mesh with me for some reason on the aesthetic level.

WHM is my favorite healer to play cause I am a simple man I use holy. I do wish healers had a tad more depth in their dps tool kit, I personally do miss cleric stance. That was when I personally had the most fun with healers. I get it was extra busy work, but it was overall fun for me.

[Arillyn]

I have everything leveled but I main SMN. Tanks I'll usually play PLD or GNB. If I go healer it's WHM. I also like BRD or DNC for another DPS. I don't really play melee but if I do it's DRG.
