Most cocky class?

[Jaminos]

As always, let me state that this is not intended to bash the game in any way. Only for opinions. Please avoid flaming people for having an opinion.

Now then, most cocky class. You know what I mean. That class that always ends up screwing dungeons and other important activities, up.

For me its a tossup between Black Mage and Summoner.

Black Mage...
As a tank I have found that there are many (not all) BM's that like to charge ahead or start attacking before I have started pulling agro. They always seem interested in firing off that spell NOW and screw up my pull so I have to work hard on gather up all the mobs that just charged them.

On the flip side, a good BM is an asset that I love having on my team. Between sleeping enemies and doing huge damage, I love seeing the boss die fast rather than the slow pace you can get from other DPS classes.



Summoners...
Oh summoners. I feel so sorry for you at times. In a dungeon, your pet dies so quickly. I was just in Titan where our poor summoner would have their Ifrit pounded to paste by AOE damage alone.

But there are those times I want to strangle a summoner. Sending out a tanking pet that pulls my agro and forces me to start chasing them around. Then if your pet dies because you chose poorly how to manipulate your summon, you chew ME out for your failure. I can tell you right now. As a Paladin, I only care about keeping players alive. Your summon is just another spell as far as I am concerned.

This goes for any spell slinging class...
AVOID AOE's. Your spell getting off is not as important as avoiding AOE attacks. Even as a Tank I run away. A Paladin is a jawbreaker as a tank. I am all one crunchy center. A Warrior is a sponge. He can soak up damage all day with his health and self heal. You are a caster. You are tissue paper in a flood. Don't get hit.

Adding another one to the list..

Bards...
Another class I tend to sympathize with. They are really squishy and blend into the background. I really never see a Bard standing out. Even as support they are very Meh. (At least from what I have seen thus far)

What tends to irritate me about Bards is many seem to never be aware of their surroundings. When a Boss throws an AOE at them, many just stand there like a deer in the headlights. The past 3 Bards I have fought with were always the first to go because they were not paying attention. Just kind of off in their own world. This does not make them cocky. But it is annoying as hell.

Well, what you said is just the fault of the players, not the class.

A class you can fix, the player may stay dumb despite good intentions.

The point is about the general population of the class. Not the physical class itself.

Paladins - those who just charge in to the next set of monsters before getting cured or buffed. Running around like headless chickens and blame the healers haven't cured them when they die keep getting out of line of sight.

Granted any tank gets it in the neck a lot because its a bit of a thankless job, not quite as much as healers, but close.

Hands down Summoner.

Paper in a flood. I liked that.

I find Archers the most irritating as they usually do things their way and do not listen, but have yet to find a completely outlandishly cocky player.

Have faith! They are out there! Just waiting for your party to wipe!

As a summoner I always try to asses the situation at hand in dungeons along with tanks wishes. Sadly at times this does mean using Titan to help the tank out which is normal when the tank can't hold hate even when I'm using ifrit or when I am seeing the tanks heath drop like an anvil even with the assistants of the healer.
