Best Job?

I completely disagree. I only play my "useful" jobs during LS events, the rest the time I play my "fun" jobs. Same goes for a lot of people I know. Not the case with everyone, just the people in my circle.

Did I miss the moment blue MAGE became not a mage? lol

So what is point of them results like you said that was popularity of 2009. The game changed since then abyssea came in 2010 and changed what is most useful jobs.

It's true.


No, it never was.


Not lower than at 75 so now whm still better healer.


Nope other DDs suck even more than at 75

The game changed, yes, the jobs didn't ; if anything the unbalance between jobs is bigger than what it was, thanks to the new team. Exemple : impetus given to monks and a JA about as useful has arcane circle to fail DDs.

lol :p

I cannot understand why people are trying to prove the best job here, soon as we get to 99, this will just start all over again.

Like i said before, every job is useful in their own way, PLD is not useless, COR is not useless, DRK is not useless.

Also according to that popularity thing on jobs in 2009, its really biased for a number of reasons.

1) All the main jobs which were there when the game was first made (WAR MNK THF WHM RDM etc), of course a lot of players would have gotten attached to those jobs from the beginning and made those their main job. Therefore its obvious more people would have those levelled compared to a the jobs which come out many years later. (BLU PUP COR DNC SCH).

2) These jobs which came out earlier have generally just being more useful, who really needs a BLU PUP COR DNC or SCH? There are plenty of jobs out there which can do their jobs just as good if not better.

3) A lot of jobs have been levelled with no skill involved (SMN burn, leeching in campaign, and Abyssea) and therefore were levelled by methods which aint really fair to the game balance, back in 2004 it could take a long time to level a job to 75, now you could level 1-90 in a day or 2 if you do it right.

The game will continue to change, and the balance will shift, i really cannot see it, before 75 a number of people were badly complaining that all the other DD were getting upgrades and MNK was not, now that MNK gets impetus and the other jobs dont get an upgrade equally as good, MNK has all of a sudden become better then the rest?

I disagree with this and the thread now.

I agree with DRK needing a new ws, im kinda really sick of Guillotine, been using it for many years now.

And they still suck at DD. Why ? because SE gave better toys to mnks. Simple.

We'll just have one of those other jobs that uses blue magic trigger weakness!

It's still not hard to beat a mnk on drg lol... Least that hasn't changed.

It's impossible.

Mnk is not a DD it's a tank that's why it's useful unlike DRG. It happens to be a better tank than WAR, but that's old news and has been glorified by SE (perfect counter).

edit : if I was to choose a DD without tanking consideration I would pick THF, not because it's good at DDing (it's not) but because it's good at making stuff drop, which is why it's ABOVE mnk and WAR in the list.

Not exactly on about this magic trigger proc ***, when it comes to taking off damage, other jobs can do that over newer jobs, not trying to shoot down any job here, because i was in a party with 3 blus the other day and i loved it.

Really we never needed new jobs, the jobs we already had could do that, which is why its very possible a lot of players never bothered to level them, out of the new jobs the only one i use is DNC, and thats for a subjob, all the rest have no use to me, unless i wanted to use sch or blu as a subjob maybe?

Stop fighting over this, MNK and DRG are both very useful jobs, MNK can change between a tank and a DD when they want, DRG is just pure power and can be a mighty solo job, i still do not get why your trying to compete between jobs as both are great in certain situations just like any other DD

You don't even play any more.

Lol if he's gonna say that a mnk can beat a drg I've gotta object.. but in no way is drg even remotely useful, i mean.. who's stupid enough to argue that? lol

Can't argue against statistics. DRG has been in the game since the start just like monk and noones wants to play it.

So what ? Killing x% faster is not useful as long as it does not make the stuff drop faster. This is why THF own MNK and WAR as far as usefullness goes.

DRG was a bit of a bandwagon job there for a while with bird merit paries, kinda sad now its only use is blue trigger.. but who's stupid enough to pop or claim something during piercing times if they have a choice @.@

Ever thought people play jobs they find aesthetically pleasing? When I first started playing I certainly didn't pick MNK because I thought it would be an awesome DD/tank

I just played it because I like to punch ***.

Those statistics mean very little.

No one plays DRG? Confused by that statement, i remember when all anyone wanted for Merit parties was DRG and SAM, we would have full parties just full of DRG, while other jobs like MNK and DRK found it hard to even get into one of those.

Can't really believe you guys are trying to blast different jobs, they all have uses and guess what...

Its only a game!
