    Warrior or Ninja?

    Hey guys

    so i kind of want to onetrick a Job and i cant decide if i want to play warrior or ninja

    I like warrior because i am not good at things that are difficult mechanically and i heard its easy. i also like the dps tank aspect

    gimmick wise i like the ninja with his ninjutsu mechanic but again i am not that good at things that require you to focus alot and click fast and i am afraid i will be really bad

    It's hard to help you decide. I'm not you so although I appreciate your description of your skills, I have no real idea of what you can and cannot do.

    Then, there's the subjective "likeability" of the different jobs. You might really dislike what I love, or vice versa.

    My best advice would be to play both, for a short amount of time, and see what you like about them. Watch videos of those jobs. Read about them on the different job forums.

    'Cause honestly, in the end, only you can truly know what you will or won't like.

    Good luck!

    Well, tanks are very convenient for fast queue times and easy groups, and you get exclusive mounts just for playing them. They're also, in a number a ways, the most powerful class at max level - able to solo content meant for groups of 8 people and most easily continue a dungeon if a healer dies/quits/DCs/and so on.

    So if nothing else, I'd suggest trying out warrior and seeing if you like that first. Life is definitely pretty good for them. If you don't like it and/or another class catches your eye - or maybe if you do like it but eventually you just need a break - FF's job system means you can, of course, switch to ninja or anything else at any time, for as long or as short as you like.

    If you are not good at things that require you to focus and click fast, then I don't recommend Ninja. However, if you like it aesthetically it won't matter to play it wrong all the time except in Extreme, Savage and Ultimate which is optional content that not everyone does.

    Warrior is simple as you said. As a tank, you can survive hits that would kill healers and DPS, so you can cover up your mistakes and pretend they didn't happen. Because you have to mitigate, interrupt, position the boss and do tank-specific mechanics, your rotation is easier to allow you to focus on these things. As an added bonus, you get faster queues into most content than a DPS does.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    it's entirely up to you and it really depends on what you like. although if you want fast queue times I recommend WAR, otherwise NIN if you don't mind DPS queues.

    Ninjutsus get easier as you play the class more, to the point of being muscle memory.
    tanking is great because you get instant queues, but i know many deal with tank anxiety, but once again as you expose yourself to more difficult fights, the Anxiety might lessen.
    I'd say, level ninja for your MSQ, and then do Warrior after finishing MSQ.

    Then from there decide which you prefer.

    I'd say WAR

    WAR is a really good "Easy to pick up; easy to master" job. They have excellent survivability and their damage is decent. You can legit solo synced bosses although I wouldn't recommend it unless your team is OK with watching you solo it slowly as opposed to just failing it intentionally to get everyone back in the game quickly.

    NIN is fun to do but your Jutsu is your bread and butter and if you fail your Jutsu...you basically wasted your time for a bit.

    However switching jobs is easy and I'd say try them all. Jobs can change drastically with their traits.

    Though both are fun classes, I suppose Warrior probably has the more "usability" of the two. Mainly because as far as soloing things goes, outside PotD and HoH, Warrior is the king of soloing stuff
