You had one job!

[TheMightyMollusk]

Maxed everything. While I consider red mage my main job, I switch when I get bored. Went through a summoner phase for a few months, then went to dancer, currently on machinist. Thinking maybe I'll go for monk or gunbreaker next, shake things up a bit.

It’s not visible on this character but I got all classes at 70 by the end of stormblood period and I liked to play all (except scholar, I suck at it unfortunately) according to the type of fight or my mood.
My main was NIN like OP but it’s WHM now ^^

[StriderShinryu]

I have most of the classes to 80, including crafters and gatherers, but I really do just main Red Mage. Any content I'm doing for the first time, I'll be RDM. The first class I'm going to gear up is RDM. Heck, even if I'm just looking at glamour, my first consideration is always "can I wear that on my RDM and what will it look like?"

That said, I will step in as Samurai here and there if I want to do content with a different flavour or from a slightly different perspective (or if I'm kind of bored by doing it as RDM for the moment). I also enjoy occasional dips as AST but I'm a pretty inexperienced and probably terrible healer so that's just when I want to really do something out of my comfort zone.

Everything else is mostly 80 and done. I do want to go back and spend more time with Monk and Ninja at some point, and I don't hate doing the occasional thing as Dancer, but there's a lot of dust gathered on anything but RDM, SAM and AST.

I main GNB but I also play BRD and SAM depending on my mood.

GNB was what I waited to have since ARR launch. I play BRD because it's fun, but also because I mained Hunter in WoW and I miss it sometimes. SAM is what I switched to from being a DRG main with Stormblood. Why? I just liked it...and fell out of love with DRG. Still not a fan of the route they took that job to be honest.

I actually maining white mage from the start until i done all content, but now, I queque with black mage all the time, I just want that EXPLOSION =D
For real though, i main 2 class, white mage and black mage, i maxed the equipment on these 2 only, i really love healing class(i also maxed astrologist and scholar) and when i get mad at DPS not doing enough damage or dying all the time, i just play black mage to remind myself, hey being dps in not as easy as it looks XD

This is a discussion forum, so let's discuss: how many jobs do you play regularly and how do you decide when to play what? Of the jobs that you play, which is your main and why?

I try and regularly play 1 tank, 1 healer, and 1 DPS to try and stay rounded (at least for the sake of my FC).
Usually I play tank though because I'm most in synch with its rhythm (and I find myself swapping between DRK and PLD).
How do I decide what to play? What am I in the mood for / which role haven't I played much of lately.

I've changed main from Summoner to Samurai to Red Mage to Dancer. I still consider DPS as my main role, but starting with Shadowbringers, I've leveled Warrior first and continued to play it in most contents other than dungeons. Interestingly enough, I was more willing to tank dungeons during Stormblood than now even though it should be easier in Shadowbringers, unless my perception on the situation is wrong. I'm still not sure what to play in Endwalker, but I'm hoping the fan fest will give me some idea.

[Vyrerus]

The concept of main job really lost its meaning in this game for me a long time ago. EXP is so easy to obtain, it's just a matter of wanting to level and learn a job to play it.

I've leveled all jobs, and I enjoy them all, but I suppose I could list my preferences, as well as my friend group's preferences.

My preferred jobs as of SHB:

WAR, PLD, SAM, DRG, WHM, MCH, SMN, and DRK. They're all fairly simple for me, with their own perks and downsides. Truthfully, the mood always strikes me to play something I haven't played in a while, so I'll go one day sticking to a job, then the next day I'll play something else.

My friend group's preference for me to play: Any Tank or DPS. Especially tanks though, particularly for roulettes. I have ENERGY LEGS.

What I raid on: I returned to raiding this tier, got the shakes from willfully skipping last tier. My group's BLM had to quit due to his cancer getting worse, so I raid on SMN now. Sometimes RDM if I'm feeling groovy. Direct Crit Scorch is almost as satisfying as the Hellish Conduit(Just sounds so much cooler than Firebird Trance) phase for SMN. I used to raid on tank, generally DRK or WAR. In prior tiers/expansions I've raided on NIN, DRG, SAM, MNK, AST, and SCH. The few healer exceptions aside, I'm a melee at heart, so this has been the weirdest tier for me.

If had to do favorites by role it'd currently be:
Tank - PLD
Melee - SAM, but DRG not far behind at all.
Caster - SMN, RDM not far behind.
Healer - WHM, but for a long time it was SCH or AST. They all feel so samey these days though, so it's hard to honestly nail down the pick.

The only job I don't have any great appreciation for or skill with is BLM. My affinity for it has always been low, and I remember my Thaumaturge set at level 26 for Swiftcast until about 3.5 when it was the only thing I hadn't leveled, and my friends still had things for Leveling roulette/POTD.

From 2.0 until 3.1 I only played WHM and have no other job leveled.

In 3.1 I switched to DRK and played it exclusively until the end of SB. Then I started to play BLM and while I only want to play one job, the shorter queues and stuff like running content unsynched and PotD and Bozja drives me always back to DRK.
