When I think about playing a Bard, I don’t think about archery. So what do you do with it in a game that requires all jobs to be Healers, DPS, or Tanks? Spoiler: You don’t make it a freakin DPS. Bard has been a pure support class in just about every Final Fantasy game it appeared in. Just… what? Bard was the first true victim of the holy trinity. It’s a meat-shield that can do some light curing. My problem with Paladin is that it feels dull, but to be fair, so does Paladin in most games. I like the Shelltron ability, even though it always makes me feel like they just wasted the limit break for a moment. I like that it can throw a heal every now and then with Clemency. Early days Summoner in FFXIV was awful, and while adding in Bahamut has definitely helped with the feel, the class still feels more akin to a Beastmaster. Expend lots of MP to deal lots of damage. Flavor wise, it’s technically not a big leap from Black Mage. Summon a big beefy dude to deal a bunch of damage to your opponents. Going all the way back to Final Fantasy III, Summoner (called Sages and Evokers back then) has had a pretty simple concept. The problem with Summoner is what it always has been. In fact, it’s one of the stronger DPS in the game right now. Summoner checks in at number 16 not because it’s weak. There’s only so many interesting ways to flavor “restore HP to allies.” The divination theme is nice, but it ends up just being a lot of prep work before each fight to accomplish the same thing White Mages do. Astrologian was Square-Enix’s first attempt at introducing a new healer, and it probably explains why we haven’t gotten another one since. That said, Astrologian is not in a great place right now and that might be influencing my perception a bit. Obviously, power levels of classes rise and fall with the patch, so I’m trying not to use their strength as a big judge of where they rank. Where do you unlock the questSkilling Up Vs Lev… 17.

Getting started with FFXIV Blue Mage? Here is our beginners’ guide (101 Guide) to teach you how to blue mage. If you want to try something kinda cheesy, give it a go, but in general you can skip Blue Mage. Being Square Enix’s first attempt at a so-called limited job, the class feels more like an afterthought than anything else. And Blue Mage is a for realsies job in FFXIV, kinda.
You do customize yourself to suit the situation, kinda. You do learn abilities from enemies, kinda. Does FFXIV’s attempt at Blue Mage play like a Blue Mage of old? Kind of. Is it fun? Is it effective? Does it feel like its own job? Here we go! And in my ongoing quest to alienate just about everyone who follows me, I’ve decided to create a ranked list of all of the Final Fantasy XIV classes. I’ve been playing a lot of FFXIV lately, and unlike my first few years playing the game where I only played Dragoon, I’ve diversified quite a bit this time around. I’m sorry that I didn’t pick your favorite class as the best one ever. Allow me to start this off with an apology.
