Decided to dust off BLM which I haven't played for a while and was never great at & thought I'd do a Trust before inflicting myself on other people. It went so well Urianger committed suicide on the first boss of Mt Gulg.

I got all these god drat jobs to 90 and now I am going to shitpost about them as a casual scrub. Best Jobs: Reaper, Sage, Gunbreaker - There's a lot to be said about being new I guess. All these jobs feel great to play and don't have the baggage that some earlier jobs have. Reaper is so stylish and satisfying, the way the screen shakes with so many of your attacks. Sage is pure joy, the most frictionless healer to me and I love all the sounds and effects. Gunbreaker is a million buttons (especially since I refuse to cabe in and have gnashing fang taking up 3 different buttons like a real combo) and also a giant gently caress-off 1200 potency nuke with surprisingly little dropoff. Also really good sustain. Not as good as warrior, but it's also not horribly boring like war is. Worst Jobs: White Mage, Paladin, Dragoon - They all just suck to me, and they don't do what I want out of the role in a way that I find cool. Whitemage fails my only healer metric which is having a spammable instant cast aoe attack but they also don't have the suite of ogcd's that the other healers have so I hated it. Paladin's rotation is a series of having to hit the same button 3 times in a row and you just kinda rotate through which button that is but that's boring and their rotation is rigid and I hate it. Dragoon should feel fine, it was fine before and pretty much nothing changed, yet I hated it the most out of all the dps jobs this time around. I can only assume this is because the other jobs I have classically hated got improved and is no longer sitting there looking bad to make drg look better. Most Improved: Monk, Black Mage, Summoner? - Monk rework helped a lot. Removing most of the positional really helped with the stress of the job and the perfect balance enders are all sweet. Enochian becoming a trait helped black mage out a fair bit! I still don't like the job but now I only mildly dislike it instead of completely hating it. Summoner has a ? because my total summoner playtime prior to EW was like 3 hours worth of gimmick book club runs in ARR and however long it took to do the job quests. But I leveled it instead of using sch this time and I actually really enjoyed it! Might use it for overworld farming. What the gently caress: Dark Knights, Machinist - So I actually liked DRK a fair bit while playing it. I may even have had the most fun playing it over the other tanks, so I think the EW changes are good. But every other tank getting completely absurd sustain and dark knight, a job that has historically had sustain in the series, was pretty questionable. To say nothing of the endless bitching from drk's over the past 2 years on the OF. Extremely surprised they didn't do anything with the job. Machinist is here because their DPS is loving dire for the "pure" dps ranged physical. Role Quests: They were all poo poo. Ranged physical and Melee dps were the least poo poo.

The secret to drg is that it's the class with the most positionals after the mnk rework so you move as part of your rotation, and moving is fun The real way it got worse this expansion is that the ogcds no longer have any fluidity whatsoever. Every single delay grates. The GCDs have been very rigid since ARR but for a long time, the class was kind of loosey goosey with the ogcds in a way that it no longer is at all

Ranged DPS had a pretty great story, and brought back Gosetsu.. Healer was alright; I'm that one guy that likes spending time with Fordola and helping her turn her life around. Caster was kinda dull, though it was nice to have Artoriel actually SAY SOMETHING, unlike in the MSQ. I also felt bad for the clone. It's weird how the quests have this weird issue of both going on too long, but also addressing all of the raised issues extremely quickly. Working on the Melee DPS Role Quest now, and then I'm gonna have to work up the urge to level a Tank to 90. Blueberry Pancakes fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Feb 17, 2022 |

Naw, holy sucks. 6ish seconds of stun is cool but it's not as cool as the 600+ potency per monster of damage I can do as a sage or sch by being able to aoe on the run as the tank runs between groups. Nor is it as cool as being able to weave ogcd heals between nukes as required instead of clipping gcd's constantly like holy does.

I didn’t try SMN at all before the EW changes but after EW I resolved to get all jobs to at least 50 (and currently getting them all to 60) and SMN was a rollercoaster of emotion for me. At level 20 I was really digging the job: it felt like it had something going on even at low level, and the rotation felt good in a way that very few other low level rotations DPS rotations feel good. So I was very excited about the levelling experience. Unfortunately, the higher level I went, the more I realised that the rotation was boring me. At least from level 30 to 60, the SMN rotation is very limited, and you end up pressing the same button over and over, for every single summon that you make. The changes between which summons you have also feel boring, since the effect is either an insta-cast, an insta-cast with faster GCD or a hard cast with more damage, but it’s still pressing the same button for all three. The last thing that I unlocked was Dreadwyrm Trance and even that is just a modifier on a button that you spam. The only other thing you do is press energy drain to get access to an oGCD. I’ve heard that it does get a bit better once you are near the 80s but the contrast between my early exciting for the job compared to my current feelings about it is stark. I don’t think I’ve touched SMN for any content and just have been doing content with SCH to level the job. Tekopo fucked around with this message at 10:12 on Feb 17, 2022 |

SMN basically doesn't change between 60 and 86. Whether that is good or bad is going to vary from person to person. I will say that it feels significantly better once you do get to 86, but it's still one of the simplest jobs in the game.

I will say that it feels significantly better once you do get to 86, but it's still one of the simplest jobs in the game. I know they like to put new abilities in the added level range of an expansion, but given the complete rework of SMN it feels like a mistake to put the skill that makes their rotation even a little interesting all the way at level 86. Like, it's the kind of thing that should be at level 50, to make summoning egis more significant and fill out your rotation, not all the way at the end of the curve. It's frustrating how that and RPR seem like they're designed around the idea that your rotation should be braindead simple until you're almost at max level. Meanwhile, monk and ninja are practically complete at 50!
