Job(s) you don't main for good reasons?

[KaijinRhada]

I don't main healing jobs as I'm only just adequate at it (maybe), and it's not my cup of tea.

DNC and MCH

One being very bare bones and just boring to play and heavily automatic with lame mechanics drawing close to pointless (steps, talking about the steps)

And the other just as boring but dysfunctional like they made the most people pleaser job and have no clue how to improve it despite hundreds of viable options

Both can’t stand due to their immense popularity while pissing on MNK, SMN, BRD, SAM, NIN and BLM for having the nerve to require a attention span. And somehow are always the first to die on fights but now I’m just being petty. SMN in Ew will likely join this little marry band of starter jobs for beginners

[Minnel]

BLM. I like mindless jobs and playing BLM optimally is far from mindless. The long cast time makes it worse. I don't particularly like casting and BLM has the longest cast times. Dungeons are fun with BLM but I can not go raiding with it so....My favorite is Bard and RDM, have to think the least in terms of when to use what skill.

[Averax]

Black Mage because i hate being glued to the floor like that. Ironically it was my first job in ARR, but it also played much differently back then. Was more spammy back then, you fished for Firestarter and Thundercloud procs and that was the rotation

[TaleraRistain]

I main WHM and secondary DNC and I don't play tank. I have 80 tanks. I just don't practice them. Which is a shame because I was a Protection Paladin in WoW and loved it through thick and thin. I enjoyed being the one to charge ahead and wade into everything.

I also don't play NIN though I love the aesthetic. I just fudge up the mudras on a regular basis.

That doesn't have anything to do with the class itself. I have plenty of times on DNC when I'm the dps that survives. I did a Fulmination run recently with just me and the tanks taking him down from 40% on our second time of the rest of the party eating dirt.

More on the lines that ppl somehow die using one of the easiest job in the game, rather than the jobs fault, but just me being petty and probably selective processing

[Curisu]

SCH and MNK.

I got my Monk to 80 with PvP, so that i don't have to play it.
I even failed the level 70 job Quest fight with the highest possible gear. Lucky the easy mode exist now.

And scholar is in my eyes a boring healer with a clunky pet.

[hynaku]

Healers don't main anymore. Once mained healer way back in 1.0 and 2.0 but not anymore. I don't like any of the changes they have done to them. Next is blm or any class where don't move and just stand in one place for the whole battle.

[ItMe]

I'm not big on proc heavy jobs (like Bard and Dancer) that, at any time, can have their hotbars light up in 4 different spots and say "hey, pay attention to me!"
In part because I can easily tunnel vision my hotbars, so this is a good way for me to suddenly stop paying attention to mechanics.
But also because I enjoy learning the muscle memory and rhythm of different boss fights, and proc jobs march to the erratic beats of their own drums.

That's the part I love the best about them.
