best role for physical disability

[Captain Palsy (Jane)]

hello!

I have cerebral palsy and can't hit keys/move very fast. I've been trying to play as CNJ and it was going okay until I had to start doing dungeons. I have a hard time healing AND avoiding AOEs AND not panicking (okay that last part is a me problem and not a CP problem, but you know)

I'd like to play something besides healer, but I don't know if there's a class that's best for those of us with impaired movement

Ranged DPS have unlimited mobility; DNC/BRD/MCH. I.e they can all do what they do while moving.

I'd go with a tank or ranged dps. Those are the easiest roles to play. If you do tank just be sure to engage multiple groups of enemies instead of 1 group at a time. A lot of new players just don't understand the role and make dungeons painful for others.

I've read about people with CP who got leveled all classes to 80. I know at least one player with CP who has lvl 80 pld, whm and brd. So I guess you can at least try them.
I think it would be better either to try them all first-hand or find fellow players with CP and ask them about it.

Bard (BRD) has to press keys pretty fast though.

Macros?

[Derfas]

Using macros for combat is not optimal at all.

Don't think OP is looking for optimal, just something that works

[Mad Marduk]

DNC maybe?

This is bad advice IMO. Playing a tank well is quite demanding and requires you to be pretty quick and move a lot for AOEs and mechanics.

Dancer is a solid option. Simple and effective damage rotation. This will require you to move for telegraphed attacks though which you specifically said that you struggled with.

Black mage would be another good option because the job is literally designed around moving as little as possible. A great black mage knows the perfect spot to stand during a boss fight so that they can cast, cast, cast with as little movement as possible.

I reckon Dancer or Machinist, both fairly low intensity compared to most others

[Mad Marduk]

Regardless of what you pick I am sure if you let people know then even if your DPS isn't top tier no one is going to mind a bit. I know that I wouldn't and no one in my FC would.

[GeminiEclipse]

Maybe dancer? They have a mobility skill to help avoid stuff.

[Sosii]

I second the black mage recommendation

I think there's an option in character configuration settings that change movement to the old school click with mouse to move your character if that might be easier for you. That way you could get a hold of an mmo mouse with the keypad on the side and set that to the different commands.

Dancer is a good choice I think. You could start leveling something like Archer first to unlock it. Really any kind of ranged DPS could be a good option since the tank should keep them from getting targeted during dungeons. The nice thing about the game is you can just keep trying out all the jobs and whichever one is easiest to use you can switch to for any dungeons.

black mage is a good choice, summoner is too (unless i've been playing it wrong, which is entirely possible lol)
