Simplest Rotation

[Mysticunicycle]

I have a friend who wants to come back to FFXIV after a very long break (she made it to level 24 or so on a gladiator back in ARR...so basically brand new) and she wants to play a damage role and is looking for the easiest rotation. She says she struggles with watching fight mechanics and managing a complicated job and just wants something simple. I recommended Summoner as IMO the new reworked SMN is about as simple as it gets, but she said she doesn't want to play a caster.

Unfortunately I don't have a ton of experience on anything besides RDM, SMN, SCH and SGE so am looking for advice. Maybe BRD?

SMN. It can execute a flawless rotation with a one button macro that only loses 1 GCD per minute. I believe it is going to be getting like five new buttons over the course of the expansion because it is so absurdly bare bones, but right now, it's literally a one button job.

Dnc since you be buffing partirs by steps n close partner (ssm/drg/mnk/rpr) xD very fun class

smn, rdm and drg are probably the simplest rotation for now.

BLM is also actually simple but the playstyle is probably not for her

Right now hands down SMN.

Melee: RPR
It's opener is easy and it follows a priority system that is EXTREMELY easy to follow, plus is generally slow on the button presses outside of shroud.

Caster: SMN
No brainer...

Ranged: MCH
The rotation is VERY easy 1-2-3 - BIG HIT - 1-2-3 - BIG HIT - HYPERDOUCHE - 1-2-3

Do not go near the following though:
MNK:
Easy until you want to actually play it optimally

BLM:
Aint played it but heard you really need to know the fight to do well.

That is my take anyway.

RDM would fit very well
