[@CosmicChris]

@@hellfrozenphoenix13 Honestly, I remember when I hated Monk, and loved Summoner. Boy, did current expansion make me 180 on both. Summoner was fun because in dungeons, your Egi were swapped based on situations, managed dots, many burst, could emergency heal. It just felt Rewarding. Now I feel like I'm just playing a Boring Power Fantasy, if I wanted a brain dead auto pilot job, I'd have played RDM. MNK, before EW? "Why the hell would I use this? Minus a few things, Samurai is more consistent and even has ranged options when I need to back off. Greased Lightning before wasn't great." People complained, saying it had too many positions, when that was never the same. It had too many gimmicks thrown onto it, and the "Fist of" skills, could have been turned into different GDCs, or combos. And some skills were just meh. Now they feel amazing to play, lose none of the complicity when it comes to move input, and overall great. Minus not having a universal projectile, it had the best 180, without losing it's skill ceiling. It's amazing now. I used to love Summoner, now I feel insulted playing as one. "It's like Black Mage, but for people who hate Black Mage. Where Red Mage, is Human Resources Managers in Raids." No, I will not elaborate.

Dancer main - you get to play a fun game of “can I get top dps even though I’m not supposed to” in regular content. And the claim 50% of the top dps’ dps in hard content. It’s all mine I swear.

[@JulesVante]

Another plus for dancer is if you’re positioned in a dangerous zone you just ✨dash✨ out of it. And at lvl 90 you can do it 3 times. The number of times I saved my ass just by gracefully moving through the battlefield while screaming in my head, and ending up completely unharmed it’s too big to count 😌

[@ArborusVitae]

Healer wise, I honestly feel Sage might be easier. None of your healing kit is tied to dps, you’ve got a billion oGCDs, almost all of your relevant healing skills can be used while moving, you don’t have any dps complexity whatsoever outside of keep up dot and phlegma in buffs. It feels to me like the healer that has to plan the least and can play it by ear easiest without needing to sacrifice dps.

[@symphicat]

You've also got all the tools of a scholar except expedient & chain, but your tools are better, not tied to the fairy, and you can trivialise the DPS check on Barbariccia extreme with a couple of oGCDs while the scholar cannot hope to solo heal it if the fight didn't go exactly according to plan! Sage is easy to learn, easy to master and just a better scholar, but scholar is more rewarding for a player & a static who know what they're doing & are able to plan and execute strategies perfectly.

[@dojelnotmyrealname4018]

Problem is juggling oGCD's is kinda annoying cause you gotta constantly click on and off the boss.

[@polgaragilmore8233]

[@thesabotagedandovershadowe8423]

sge is so incredibly powerful once you get the hang of it, but i dont think id ever recommend it to a new player. maybe its because i dont come from an mmo background, but the concept and playstyle of shield healers runs so contrary to like, all other healers in other videogames ive ever played that its just really hard at first.

[@ArborusVitae]

@@thesabotagedandovershadowe8423 What do you feel is contrary about them? I feel like Sage has a very straightforward and easy to conceptualize playstyle and it's healing throughput outside of mitigation and shielding is more than enough to cover any mistakes in those departments. A new player is highly unlikely to be doing content where shielding or optimal mitigation is necessary, so I feel like you can kind of stumble through and explore those aspects of the kit. I think the only real hurdle is just having someone tell you how good Keracole is and to basically keep it on CD, but I feel like the remainder of the kit is very obvious in its usage and power level just from the tooltip.

[@realityyy4047]

I changed to Warrior main for the new raid tier and honestly.....It's just beautiful. Sure the dps isn't good right now, even after the recent patch it sucks a little, but it hasn't been so bad that I felt like my party couldn't clear because of it or anything. The upside is just how much sustain you get for it. With healers having to actually heal this tier it is just super comfortable knowing you have Bloodwhetting, Thrill, Equilibrium, Shake available to get through close calls for you or raidwides for the party. And yeah.....you are almost unkillable outside of savage, ex and ultimates. If your party sucks, just solo the higher lvl dungeon bosses. There are not many things more satisfying in ff than solo killing the boss while the rest of the party is cheering for you in chat. :D

End of the video Kougaon is absolutely right. As I've told people before, "anyone can play RPR, its easy. Playing one right though is like trying to understand lament configurations with consequences almost as dire."

[@HNBur]

As a WHM main.... agree. I love my THICC GCDs. I love Holy. I love my wings. I REALLY love my Bell. Mana and cast times are pretty much the only thing between me and brute-forcing a party recovery, and neither of these are much of an issue if the right cooldowns are available. Other healers may be better, but this is the one for me and my smooth brain.

[@jarack3256]

As one the runs WHM as a second main. Mana is never a problem. In the content that allows it, DoT+Regen+Medica II = never ending supply of lillies. Add in four shield abilities, a heal increase, and a heal increase with damage reduction. Most of the time presence of mind, lucid dreaming, swiftcast, and the two charges of no manna cost just sit on my bar. If my mana is low, things have gone completely sideways, or I've just spammed glare that much. If that's the case, like RDM, I try to use Lucid at 6k mana. So 90% of the time, I have like 8k mana, 2 charges of free cast, and swiftcast just sitting there waiting for someone to die.

[@vixianaa]

Counterpoint: femroe

[@lyconxero457]

Personally, I feel like Red Mage is a better job to get someone used to the idea of being a "caster" in the traditional sense because current Summoner actually doesn't even feel like a caster by comparison as so much of their kit is insta-cast. When I first picked up Red Mage when Stormblood launched I just marveled at the fact that I felt like I was right in between a Black Mage and a White Mage with better mobility (at the time) than Black Mage at the cost of less damage. Of course, since you can't START on Red Mage I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner but you are able to get it incredibly early as the MSQ gives you so much bloody XP that if you don't start splitting it between multiple jobs then your main job will hit level 60 before you even get to Heavensward. The last time I rolled a new character I played a Summoner/Scholar for the efficacy of leveling both a DPS and a healer at the same time and then switched to Red Mage/Scholar after Summoner hit 50 so that I wasn't wasting XP and instead funneling it into multiple jobs. I then grabbed Gunbreaker and Dancer at level 60 and Sage/Reaper at level 70 and pretty much had jobs to cover all of my bases for an alt character that I really only made to run through the story again fresh to see all the changes that have been made to the game.

[@Blazingbeard]

Do play Paladin if you love the Holy Spam in dungeons! Yes WAR is easier. Can't get used to DRK and GNB weave spam. Really like PLD range.

[@1337penguinman]

GNB was my main tank class through ShB and early Endwalker. Decided to swap to DRK for a change. Was not expecting to have MORE OGCD weaves than GNB.

[@Majima_Nowhere]

Learning black mage is easy... if it's the job you start with. And almost none of the skills transfer to any other job so leveling a new one is terrifying. That said, it's my favorite job and I'm super glad I played nothing _but_ black mage for over a year. The mobility at 90 is just as good as the other casters when you need it, and if you know the mechanics for a given fight you might not need it too often. The rotation isn't strict in the sense that a melee DPS has to hit 1,2,3 for max damage, so it's open to change a bit depending on the fight and you're not completely screwed out of your damage if something goes wrong. Just don't drop enochian. Ever. Even if it means you take a vuln stack. Yes, that means using Umbral Heart every 10 seconds between pulls.

[@tenou213]

How simple are warriors? The main class questgiver is named Curious Gorge. They knew what they were doing.

[@arkboi2145]

@Kougaon You'd be surprised by the polarocity of FFXIV. I've run dungeons/trials/raids with so-called "geared end-game savage raiders," who I see constantly messing up on simple mechanics or who perform terribly in regular easy/beginner content. I've also run with newbie/beginner casual players who I swear were pro raiders who created an alt account (sure, they messed up a mechanic initially, but they learned it the second time around and owned their job/class). The same is true for the "easy" Jobs/Classes in FFXIV. I've heard many players who bash these "easy" or "mindless/braindead" Jobs/Classes in FFXIV, but yet they can't seem to play them effectively at all (Tanks: PLD and WAR; Healers: WHM and SGE; Melee DPS: RPR and SAM; Ranged PDPS: MCH; Casters: SMN and RDM). Inversely, just because a Job/Class is "difficult" or "complex" doesn't automatically make it "better" or "stronger" than the rest. ** Think of it this way -- The fewer spells/abilities you have to decide on, the fewer buttons you need to press, and the less you need to worry about positional; means less personal processing power and more time, focus, and energy can be spent on "getting into the zone" and simply doing what you do best. Inversely, the more spells/abilities you have which you need to decide on when, where, and how to utilize them best (let alone where to find them and use them on your hotbars), the more buttons you need to press and more frequently, and the more you need to worry about exact positions; means more personal processing power and less time, focus, and energy can be spent on "getting into the zone." Meaning, the chances of you messing up increase, and the chance of you performing optimally decreases. Probably, the single best advice anyone will give you in FFXIV, is to simply play whatever Job/Class YOU enjoy. Whichever one suits your playstyle best and whichever one you know inside and out and will inevitably play optimally at. You wouldn't believe the insane lengths game developers go through to try and make every single job/class viable and as balanced as possible. Ideally, they try to make it so regardless of whatever job/class a skilled player chooses, they should be pulling/performing roughly the same numbers (Enmity and Mitigation; Healing and Shielding; AoE and ST Attacks and DoT Damage).

[@seokjinssmeraldo4747]

Started tanking recently because I was scared to do it before, but as a noob tank, I can already feel the difference between tanking as a PLD and tanking as a DRK. While both are cool and fun in their own way, PLD has a lot more buffs compared to DRK, so it makes it more challenging to tank as a DRK-but also more fun. Plus, you look badass with all the dark magic and gear. But as a SAM main, it was challenging to learn at first but once you play it for a while, you get it down.

[@pasteldreams5413]

apparently unpopular opinion: dancer has a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling. its rotation is extremely simple in concept, but using all your defensive cooldowns as much as possible (without clipping gcd in the case of improv) on top of fan management and ensuring you press all the buttons correctly during your tech/devilment window makes it a very proactive job--even more so than bard imo. I think optimizing dancer is harder than optimizing redmage, and I've played both in savage (tho i do be a shield heal main).

[@Yuushiron]

no offense, but that's not really unpopular, that's genuinely what most people know this video's purpose was more or less to showcase what jobs a newbie could pick if they want an accessible/"easy" job without learning 200 openers

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

This is true tho. This video cqn be looked at "low skill floor classes fkr eqch role". And Dancer is by far thw lowest skill floor in game. Now refining and fine tuning it can be harder, because it manages a few vital buffs at once. The same can be said for WHM. It can be trickier to manage its mana compared to most othwr healers and optimizing it can be hard in some cases, but it is the easiest of the healers to get into. Basically, i agree but the point of the video was for entry level is all im sayin.

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

@@azazamat i would agree. Sam can feel somewhat easy to get into on a baseline level. However, it has a lot of smaller things it must do to be optimized, and not all of it being clear. Such as skill speed determining when to convert Sen into Kenki to maximize damage output, having a cast time melee to worry about in fights (mechanics can sometimes force a fast change of plans), among the typical melee worries. The only "easy" melee imho is Reaper. Dragoon may not be complicated rotation wise, but its execution is tight which means a slip up in timing can cause a lot of trouble. Reaper has much less to track in my experience, so its execution is overall easier.

When I started savage as DRK, I learned how tough it actually is and became quite the learning curve.

[@smugron1101]

Can confirm as a Tank main whose first class was Marauder/Warrior; Warrior is monke, Dark Knight dps is cracked but requires more click clack and Paladin somehow feels less tanky than a Marauder (not even Warrior) while having a shield.

[@fiendishsoul6730]

I like how he is recommending reaper to new players despite the fact that it's a dlc job that you only get access to after getting to endwalker

[@simplyakoala7220]

Wells this tailored for people getting into High-End, if you’re doing casual you don’t even need to know what all your buttons do.

[@pforgottonsoul]

like half of the jobs are tied to an expansion so by that logic you should remove ast, drk, mch, sam, rdm, gnb, dnc, and sge from the list as well.

[@meguryzer9689]

You get Reaper the moment you have a class on level 70. I have Reaper since Realm Reborn, lmao Edit: Of course you need the Endwalker DLC. But you don't need to reach the content of Endwalker.

[@kaypygamez9596]

Miqo'te is best race for both genders, FIGHT ME!! As for best job for each role, Warrior (Paladin for 2nd), Scholar (White Mage for 2nd), Monk (Dragoo For 2nd), Bard (rest is trash), Red Mage because REZ MAGE!!!

[@HoodedLefty]

How do i schedule that pvp fight over the cat girl comment?

[@mtldax]

White mage progression is weaving attacks between heals to weaving heals between attacks and letting your tank go dangerously close to dying so you maximize your DPS. Also spam holy

[@4567samsung]

as a WAR and DNC main it is always funny when someone says to me that they are easy jobs I mean yea that is why I play them

[@TheSpicyLeg]

You do know what “main” means, right? Your primary job. I swear, some people always be trying to ice skate uphill.

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

@@TheSpicyLeg i dont see how this contradicts their statement? Do yiu mean one cannot have 2 mains? Because you certainly can gear 2 roles to be BiS and play them close to the same amount of time. Not trying to sound abrassive if i am, genuine questioning here.

[@maddragonqueen_]

SAME

[@menosay1912]

Primary tank job and primary DPS. It IS possible to do two things for an equal amount of time.

[@TheSpicyLeg]

@@hellfrozenphoenix13 In that case, I main WAR, GNB, DRK, PLD, WHM, SGE, AST, and SCH. I gear them to BiS and all play them equally.

[@Malix2238]

People only say BLM is hard because its not dirt easy but in reality BLM is not hard, its just not easy. It’s actually kinda annoying how hard ppl try to go out of their way to say how “difficult “ it is when its not.

[@crazy8slayer]

dnc was my 3rd max lvl and I gotta say going from pld to blm to dnc it was insane how easy that class is, and the dashes are soo good when you go back to other jobs you wonder how you ever managed to dodge attacks without it

[@comicmoniker]

What's the glamor you're using for warrior and black mage here? Both look very nice to me

[@invenblocker]

The funny thing about you saying anything but PLD is that Paladin was the first tank I played, and my experience going into Warrior can be sumarized as "where are my mitigations?"

[@davidsobrito1398]

Are we not going to mention how mind numbingly easy that machinist is?

[@omitsune]

dancer is not there to do big damage, dancer is there to look GOOD and that’s all that matters (also remember to do your aoe combo in melee range otherwise it’ll be useless 🫡)

[@Achridian]

As a sage player, DPS is my main concern, and I weave my heals in between.

[@rafat6222]

Hilarious. Just subscribed. What glam does your WAR have? 👀

I'm currently working my way through 60-70 and at time of writing the only job left is WAR. MCH 4 lyfe tho

[@LiZzZzZArDDDD]

Im a new Player in FF and startet to level with Gladi für ruhsing Main story and starting the game with Machinist. What is the thing about Machinisten? I odnt understand that. The Rotation makes fun with the burst combo and its feels good to play. I dont understand the problem ^^

[@platterbuss2328]

I love easy jobs, no stress and easy to focus on boss mechanics

[@rpoutine3271]

Idk, from experience anything that is dps is easier than healing, since with healing you have to focus on healthbars on top of your position related to other team members while not forgetting your own hp... and react quickly to low HP, while also putting some damage. If you are not focused on everything at the same time this can lead your whole team to failure, especially with harder bosses. My experience with DPS is that once you get used to your macro skills it is pretty chill, you just avoid damage and deal damage, you have no responsibilities. Healer in FFXIV is the only role in all MMOs I have played that actually made me sweat a little bit. However I read that endgame healer makes people sleep.

[@MCG55SS]

my g/f who never played MMO tried summoner and dancer (while she was decent at dancer) we decided to make her a warrior just so she has better chance to live.

[@LoneGamerNerd]

I main GNB -- a class I took on mostly because it's modeled after my favorite FF character, lol. But it's so much fun, and practically a DPS masquerading as Tank given its immense amount of melee attacks. WAR is most efficient Tank, but GNB is the most fun, if you ask me.

[@Leroyfkingjenkin]

As a warrior when I need to solo a dungeon boss I'm like: I ain't heard no bell

[@nenram.5786]

Dragoon created by the french? Oh well, time to ditch the favorite floor tank.

[@stevoyah]

Warrior gives me happy chemicals. Drk and gnb is when I want damage to go brr.

[@RaidenKaiser]

So gun breaker makes my happy chemicals go off I love being able to spam shit like a dodge tank

Summoner is the only job I play when I'm half-asleep.

[@heartless134301]

As a warrior main, we only exist to wake up and choose hatred. And I guess keep the party sustained when the healer is lacking (or DPS decides to face pull).

[@commandervulkan]

Your dancer will always have your back. Unless the raid is all dancers then it's comedy gold

[@thediredie]

me a dancer main: surprised pikachu face anyways, I love the class I started off as a black mage and switched to this.. so u can see why I really love it after the hell that was black mage lmao. Also I love au'ra they are literally the best female race in the entire game ngl, my au'ra is adorable af and I love her uwu

@kougaon How many relics do you have?

I play all smol brain stuff! Its honestly mostly cuz Im a super casual player and dont want to worry toooo much about rotations but still be useful and not a burden to my team

i main summoner but i cant decide if i want to main a tank or not i really like gunbreaker and darknight rotations but i have a easier time in savage as a summoner

Since I started last year I've enjoyed using all of the Jobs *Looks off into the corner at astro, gnb, mch, and rdm* All of them.

[@LarisseMontrose]

Accurate. I play rdm though when I'm a little insecure (like on new content) because there's no security blanket in the game like Verraise. Just having it makes me feel useful when I don't know a fight yet.

[@doctor7905]

*slaps white mage* this bad boy can fit so many heals in it

[@LordPebble2309]

Wait... is there something off with PLD rn? I know it didn't get much in terms of abilities for EW. The Confeitor is badass but that was about it and I feel like the Oath meter is highly neglected, but is it bad rn?

[@Kougaon]

Ah it was at the time not the strongest Tank to play for the raid tier. It’s honestly not that bad. I mainly just do it for the memes, but it’s not that bad to play!

[@Anzumatsuri]

Yes... head empty now

[@Attilathepun]

Good to know, I still struggle when it comes to boss mechanics. I get by on dumb luck. My favorite role is healer, that's dead for like 90% of the fight because neither of the two dps are jobs with rez capabilities :(

[@andrewmiller4095]

Job one was relatively simple for me, Dragoons just looked dope, but picking my second job to level has been a mountain. I love the DPS roles but I want to level other roles for some variety.
