    Request: Can Dancers get some proper representation in world please?

    What i mean by this is visibility in MSQ and side quests.
    We feel like the forgotten middle child of ShB with GNB taking the spotlight.

    I personally cant think of any other job whos had so little exposure, Ninjas are more out in the open than Dancers and they are a job that are supposed to work in the shadows lol.

    As it is, i can only name 3 NPC's in the entire game who are Dancers and only one of them you can point at and say "Oh yeah that's a Dancer" the other when brought up generally is responded too as "Oh wait yeah she is isn't she?" because she had so little to do, The last... well... you wouldn't even know she was a Dancer.
    Lyna in ShB Most dont even know shes a Dancer or remember.
    Ranaa Mihgo A job Sidequest NPC who then just... stands on the bridge in Kugane.
    Finally Nashmeira the one who gives the Job quests.... You wouldn't even know she's a Dancer nor is she seen again after.
    We dont have our own Thancred, Alphinaud or even Lyse, people who scream their job and showcase it to the playerbase, who are memorable and instantly recognized for their Job.

    Other than our 2 Job armor sets, None have been made for Aiming with Dancers in mind.
    Everything is made for Bards or Mech's and it really shows.

    As a DNC main, i just feel it would be nice to feel like my job matters in the game world, as it stands right now we are just the "Buff the party" job people wouldn't even know exists if not for it being on the Job list on your character sheet.

    Thav was supposed to be home of the Dancer job, we don't even get NPC's in Radz or outside it representing the job, we get.... a stage. What do we get to do with that stage? preform maintenance, and that is all. That's the extent of Dancers in EW and we got literally nothing in ShB unlike Gunbreaker's, There was no story balance unlike with say, Sage and Reaper.

    So PLEASE SE, stop treating us like we don't exist?
    You aren't even giving us the bare minimum.

    Anyway TY everyone for putting up with this rant, I'm having bit of a bad day and this has been grating on me for a long time now, DNC is my identity of choice in game and its just..... feeling really unrewarding and lacking in "Cool" moments.
    At some point being told by everyone your job is "Good Enough as is" doesn't cut it.

    You're right about summoners considering the only other characters capable of summoning primal egis are chilling in the Immortal Flames, but even Arcanist has more rep than Dancer via Alphinaud, Alisaie pre-SB and Urianger pre-ShB.

    Like all jobs, Dancers are confined primarily to their place of origin. They're Thavnairian so you can find them performing right now in Radz-at-Han.

    You're not paying attention if you haven't noticed that Lyna and Nashmeira are dancers.

    You haven't explored Radz-at-Han or you would have seen the conspicuous pair of dancers constantly performing at the meyhane where we have been sent multiple times for MSQ.

    And there are some aiming sets that definitely favour dancer over the other two aiming classes. Not everything, and I won't argue against getting more, but there is not zero and people need to look at more than the latest tome and raid gear when judging what is available.

    What was one of Hydaelyn's attacks or Weapons again? I swear they were Chakrams like that of a Dancer...
