    Jobs for players with bad latency and lag?

    So, I've been asking around the different boards for a while, getting an idea of the various jobs to play and such - thanks to everyone for helping me out, btw, it means quite a bit more than you think. After getting some recommendations and ideas over on the DPS boards, I had the idea to make a thread here.

    In this case, I'm making a board concerning the issues with latency; more specifically, which jobs can be used well when latency and lag become an issue. Here's the jobs that I main, currently, as well as some others that I recommend:

    Tank:

    - Warrior: Easily the simplest of tanks in FFXIV currently, and a great choice for meat-shielding when the lag spikes start.

    - Paladin: Another good choice for tanking; not the simplest of rotations, but still easy-to-learn-and-use, and a blast to play.

    Melee DPS:

    - Dragoon: Currently, DRG has a fairly simplistic rotation, that nonetheless ends up doing rather solid amounts of damage regardless of the situation; granted, this may or may not get changed with the rumored 7.0 rework, so keep that in mind.

    - Samurai: Certainly, has some button bloat, but the rotation itself is fairly simplistic to learn, and it has a fairly high amount of DPS potential attached to it.

    - Reaper(?): Not quite too sure how this performs, admittedly; it's actually my current main Melee, and I'm doing fairly well in dungeons and trials, though I'm still learning the ins-and-outs of the job.

    Ranged DPS:

    - Dancer: One of the simplest jobs, and far, far more fun than it has the right to be - shoutout to Mithron for the recommendation. Great mobility and great support, though the personal damage is a bit low compared to other jobs, so solo players need to keep that in mid.

    Magic DPS:

    - Red Mage: Probably my favorite DPS job; good damage, extremely versatile, and it has fantastic fashion as a bonus. Admittedly, I'm still not quite at max level with it as of yet, nor have I been able to get the complete rotation figured out, so take what I've said with a grain of salt. Thanks to the DPS boards for the recommendation; would have slept on it otherwise.

    - Summoner: The DPS job I'm currently leveling, so I can't quite vouch for it personally; however, there have been plenty of other posters nothing the current ease and reliability of the job - it's literally the most braindead easy job in the game, from the videos and such that I've watched - so it's getting put here.

    Healer:

    - I don't have all that much experience with healers as of yet - still in the middle of leveling with what little time I have - so I'm afraid I need to leave this spot blank for now.

    So, with all of that posted; what do you guys recommend for player with poor latency and bad lag? Any recommendations or suggestions?
