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.
