Most fun DPS for FFXIV?
Played a while ago for a few hours and had some fun, but can't remember what I played. Looking to finally get into FF now that I've had my fill of ESO and I don't want to play WoW ever again (too boring) and I can't buy any game time until I get paid next week so I wanted to try and figure out what I wanted to play beforehand.

I don't like to tank that much and I've never been one to be a healer. I mostly play DPS so I was looking for some suggestions on what the most fun to play DPS would be.

What classes in other games do you like? What about those classes is what you like? What other games do you like? Need more information before a recommendation can be provided!

I play all kinds of classes like mages, rogues etc. and I listed games such as WoW and ESO. I'm looking for the more fun DPS classes to play. If I knew the type of class I wanted to play I wouldn't be asking. I'm not looking for anything in particular just a fun DPS class. The thread is asking what the most fun DPS based classes are because I don't care for Tank or Healer like I mentioned. It's me asking what you think is the most fun to play so I can look into them and then decide which I think I'll like more. All the info is literally in my post.

I don't have much game time, but Rogue was really fun when I played it.

What you're asking for is too vague, because it's so incredibly subjective. There isn't a ''most fun dps'' as some fact that everyone agrees on because anyone will tell you something different, hence why people ask you what class you enjoy playing.

Let me ask you this then; what did you think the most fun class in WoW was? Just give us something to narrow it down because if you don't, you'll get such varied answers.

I would say Dragoon, because it was the first class I leveled to 80 and loved it ever since. I also know people who love the hybrid melee/mage dps of red mage, for example.

All classes have quite distinct playstyles.


But if you'll disregard all this and you just want personal opinions: I'd go with Dragoon. I like spears and I think they're underrepresented in MMO's.

I was going to say Dragoon and Red Mage as well. They're both fun and well made.
DRG if you like melee and a more complicated, active rotation.
RDM if you like a simpler rotation, utility and ranged.

Idk man, it comes down to personal preference. I hated bard once I got his songs... black mage is fun, but I got sick of casting times. Ninja has been really fun, and machinist is really fun. I don't know ♥♥♥♥ about the others. Favorite is either ninja or machinist. Machinist you gotta go until you get the drill before you decide if you like it or not, which is like late 50's, I think lvl 57 job quest. But I leveled machinist in potd, so I got to mess with it really early. It's a blast being able to move freely around firing from a range, without having to keep an eye on bloodletter resets like the bard. Ninja feels really good when you nail a rotation. It all happens so fast with the weaving, its really satisfying. And you kinda prep before you engage, by doing ninjutsu moves that buff yourself and then throwing down an aoe and hitting hidden before the first tick, which will give you 2 more ninjutsu stacks, allowing you to do two more powerful moves that could be aoe or single target, and then you can start swinging away with your combos and weaving. Just the extra layer of prepping before engaging feels good to me.

Best thing i can say is. Watch some Videos about the classes and go for the one that catches your eyes the most. and if it doesn't suit your tastes. then change.

But for me. i usually Main Bard, it's a relaxing class where you just have to focus on buff and DOT's now and then. and then just dish out damage without thinking too much.
And then i can annoy people by playing music while i wait on a queue ( i can play Narcotic by liquido xD )

But it all depends on what type of gameplay you are seeking.
if you live for skill rotation then try the Samurai or the Ninja. and if you like to play dead play the dragoon "jk" Just seen quite a lot of them jump to their death due to bad timing of their attacks.

another fun one is the red mage. it's a mix of ranged magic and close mellee attacks where you have to juggle with different types of magic.

Blackmage is alot more static than the other DPS classes. but they do have some big aoe attacks.

Oh. and if you ever considder trying to tank... The Gunbreaker is for you. It feels like a DPS class.

it really deepens on what sort of DPS you want be and what you fell comfortable playing as to be honest i would suggested playing as a summoner first as its good damage dealer class plus you get 1 healing ability and ability to your self or other MP back or i suggested playing as a red Mage witch is another balance class witch use black magic and white magic

My advice would be to go to Youtube and look up rotation guides for all of the jobs. It's difficult to grasp gameplay unless you understand it, and it'll give you a better idea of how it plays, how it looks.

Some jobs often are amazing but there can one thing that can sort of be a source of frustration in regards to that job. Maybe DRG is super fun but you dislike that so many bosses have phase swaps and it messes with your DPS due to your long CDs/Long combo chains.

You obviously have experience so it's hard to recommend something, but my general suggestions for new players are Red Mage, all of the Physical ranged DPS (Bard, Dancer, Machinist), Samurai. I would say the best class for a new player for all aspects of the game is generally RDM. Healing, Res, decent damage, fun, reactive rotation with a satisfying end combo you build up to.

Me and my fellow Dragoons proudly tank the floor. Someone has to do it.

The spiky armor does function as a fantastic anchor. xD

New player here. I asked myself the same question recently and did a lot of research. Watched many videos.
I've narrowed it down to:
Red mage
Dragoon

Followed by:
Machinist
Black mage

But opinions vary. People say good things about Ninja.

The job balance is really good compared to most MMOs. Just pick the one that you think looks cool and matches the way that you want to play and you can't really go wrong. It's also really easy to switch between jobs later on, so it's no biggie if you decide that you want to try something else later.

All the info is literally in my post.

"I play DPS" isn't good info. Do you prefer ranged or melee, fast or slow playstyle, static or dynamic, easy or complex? Regardless of any of that to begin with it's completely subjective and you should probably just look at all the DPS openers, rotations, etc to see what you might enjoy. You'll find people who say any of the classes in the game are fun if they enjoy them.

FWIW I can tell you that Dancer is very easy to play, very mobile, but also RNG dependent. Machinist for me is more fun because it's not RNG dependent, still fairly mobile, and has great combat animations and effects.
