Most basic DPS: Advice

[Gruntler]

Simplest Rotation is BLM.

You can setup a macro

But for a gcd you shouldn't. Learn to target, and roll the gcd well. If you want to get decent at dps, don't adopt bad gameplay habits like macroing gcds. Even Verraise.

'cuz their DPS capability has exactly 3 buttons to press

They also have actual responsibilities aside from DPS, with levelling content and older content often demanding more attention from you than current content, mostly due to item level advantage and the plethora of free oGCD heals you have at endgame. I wouldn’t recommend people heal until they’re comfortable abcing first, and for that Black Mage is a better option than other classes, even someone dedicated to healing in other games I’d recommend Arcanist first just to get used to the GCD timer. Conjurer is a good tutorial healer, but it’s not a free DPS class. I find new players still need the basics first.

Black Mage or Dragoon would be my DPS recommendation from level 1. And anyone looking to learn will not want to boost.

I love this thread, yeah I know it's aging.
Q-"Which is the easiest & very less button press DPS job there is?"
Forum Responses-- Dancer, Bard, Red Mage, Machinist, Summoner, Scholar, Black Mage, White Mage, Dragoon and Honorable mention Monk.
Majority votes...DANCER.

If I am correct that means only Ninja, Samurai, and Blue Mage are eliminated as possibilities.
And there are those who will tell you Blue Mage is not even a real job.

OP I hope that narrows it down for you. Good luck.

"The most complex, challenging and skillful job is the one I play, whatever I don't play is a baby job for babies."

Alternatively: "I've played my job and nothing else for 10 years it's so easy, anyone who thinks it's hard is just dumb lul."

Well, different people are going to have different opinions. The only suggestion I raised an eyebrow at was summoner.

I would not recommend that particular job to someone looking for something easy. It's a shame because arcanist is a fun starting class.

Funny, I've read every post and none of them say or imply that. Are you certain you posted in the correct thread?

Anyways, the easiest job with not that many buttons to press is dancer. Red mage is a close second.

Just be a dark knight. Pretty much a dps class that just happens to hold agro xD
