Final Fantasy XIV: Which DPS Class Should I Play?

Melee DPS Melee DPS are close-range attackers. Focused on combos and careful positioning to inflict the maximum amount of damage. Monk The Monk is a lightning fast melee DPS class that revolves around keeping up a buff called "Greased Lightning". The MNK has great sustained DPS on a single target and does the best AoE damage out of all the melee DPS (only at later levels). Most of MNK's attacks are positional, meaning you have to move yourself to the back or side of the enemy, depending on the move you have to use next. It's not required to follow your positionals, but they do alot more damage and will sometimes trigger certain effects. Mastery of positionals and timing is what makes a MNK great. If you like a fast paced technical melee class, you will really like MNK. Dragoon Dragoon. The poster-boys of Heavensward. These guys wear incredibly cool looking armor and carry their lances to slay any dragons they come across. Their gameplay involves some buf...

Final Fantasy XIV: Which Healers Class Should I Play?

Healers use restorative arts to mend wounded companions. They can also help to mitigate damage, remove detrimental effects, and even bring fallen allies back to life. White Mage The White Mage is a very reactive healer and has the best raw heals in the game. It has an arsenal of HP regeneration abilities as well. WHM's have a limited supply of MP, but it can be refreshed by using abilities called "Shroud of Saints" and "Assize". Perfecting your MP management is the key to being a good WHM. If you're looking for a healer that can also do a decent amount of burst damage, then WHM is for you. They have a move called "Cleric Stance" which swaps their healing power with their damage power. It's quite effective when used by a skilled player. It's also worth noting that the other healing Jobs can cross-class Cleric Stance as well. One of their best healing moves is called "Benediction" which instantly restores all of the target...

High in HP and trained in defense, a tank serves as the party's shield. Skilled at keeping a foe's attention and bearing the brunt of enemy attacks. Paladin The Paladin is a moderate HP tank with unmatched physical damage mitigation. (Thanks to your shield!) They make use of many, many abilities which reduce damage taken. They even have a move which allows you to directly take physical damage for another party member. The PLD has 2 stances: Sword Oath and Shield Oath. Shield Oath buffs your defenses while lowering your attack strength and Sword Oath increases the damage of your auto attacks. At higher levels, Paladins get a very strong heal that they can use for themselves or allies. One of their best abilities is called "Hallowed Ground". It makes them completely invincible for 10 seconds. It should also be noted that PLD's do the least amount of damage out of any tank. The Paladin is an all-around solid choice for a tank and is also a great beginner J...
