How do you keep having fun with your job(s)?

[Rayne6665]

I switched from ninja to summoner and fell in love with summoner lol its my main now. I thought at first it looks complicated to me but as i level up further, it made it easier for me with the rotations.. I dont really care much not getting comms for rezzing fallen party members xD im having tons of fun!

I don't, they killed Monk for me so it's strictly come Tanking or Healing for me now. Monk was the only DPS job I had fun with and it's absolutely miserable now.

Lately I rotate between PCT and WHM. PCT still feels fresh since it's a newer job, while WHM has been my main since 2014. PCT replaced SMN which was my main DPS from ARR -> EW, since it getting nothing really new just really makes it feel dull to me now. That and it's nice not having summons blocking my view.

I tend to play WhM when content is newer and once it's no longer challenging swap to PCT.

I occasionally have stints in other jobs like DRG/MNK/DNC/PLD, and while I get those jobs secondary gear - I don't really care enough about them to really stress about them. If i'm not having fun I just play something else until I feel like playing XIV again.

hmmm I have more fun when I am playing with my free company chilling in my in game house or while playing pvp the battle content itself I usually ignore it may get heavier into it during final raid tier.

Second, trapped paying for this game to maintain housing, don't enjoy it. All my friends have long quit. Hoping it's "fun" again someday.

I say this with all the sympathy in the world, because I also have a house to maintain, among other things: If this is the only reason you are playing, please just quit and use that money and time for something that will make you happier. A pixel house is not worth that much. If what you like is the decorating aspect of it, try Re:Makeplace on Itch.io. It's completely separate from the game but should get you your housing fix without the money involved. Take screenshots, make a video tour of your house and take those memories with you. The house shouldn't hold you hostage.


If you're dead set on continuing to pay your sub and play the game, consider giving a chance to content or challenges you haven't tried yet (including player-made content such as roleplay, which you can use your house for as well) or switching your playstyle for something completely different for a change of perspective. Of course, I don't know you and what content you like to run, so this is fairly generic advice you likely already know.

Hello,

I love the game forever, I love doing every possible content but, I feel like I don’t have a main job anymore. Now as we all know, that’s what makes this game interesting, the freedom to switch classes whenever we want but, this 2 min meta made everything boring to me?

I appreciate BRD mechanics a lot, PLD feels fluid (I consider it as my "main" job), and SCH is only interesting to me because of how janky it is but that’s basically “it”. I’m still bored playing PvE, where PvP is so fun and way more interesting.

So, basically, how are you still having fun with your main job if you got one? I enjoy BRD because it’s not your basic 1-2-3 but like, it’s still BRD you know, I’m not a fan of its aesthetic. If you have any recommendations about jobs that doesn’t feel like 1-2-3 combo, I’ll take notes.

Appreciate it!

Glam! Glam!! Glam!!!

Warrior main.

It's still fun to try to make sure I line up 7 fell cleaves in a row during a 2 minute burst.

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

More seriously, I've taken to seeing just how far I can push the job solo, which breaks me out of the 2 minute meta. I started out nice and easy with a Palace of the Dead run (and died on floor 98, after some awful luck on the 91+ floor set with bad debuffs and running low on time and getting impatient.)

I've taken up gunbreaker in roulettes for a change of pace, and also to pick away at the GNB achievements.

I keep SMN in my back pocket as my brain dead DPS job when I don't have the mental fortitude to heal or tank, and SCH as my main healer for the same reason as you (janky and therefore challenging, but also I know how to extract maximum value from its tool kit since it hasn't changed much since Shadowbringers.)

I've accepted I don't have an "official" main and tend to rotate between various jobs I like and tend to focus on one of those for a patch or two. I've mostly been playing Black Mage recently, though still actively play White Mage, Astro, and Viper. 7.0 until 7.2 I was mainly playing Picto, Scholar, Astro, and Dancer. As you can see, I just rotate haha.

Variety is the spice of life since BLM got taken out the back.

''Fun''

I don't know. I level everything, but I've been playing Bard since 2013 and I'm still playing it. It's still my main. RIP Bow Mage.
