If I didn't describe versatility, I think I need to contact the purveyor of every dictionary on Earth and give them a piece of my mind.

As for PUP.. OP, you're fuckign stupid. my Tier IVs can outdo the real deal, come back when when you know what oyu're talking about.

Coming for the noob that lved pup to lv75 lol. Amuse me by telling us how the FUckkk pup owns ass in endgame then. Bet they can't solo gods like rdm's can punkkk! Goo reroll a real job dude if you know what's good for you......

I Haven't really ran into any horrible Dancers yet sooo I really can't say rofl plus I really love the galka's samba dance moves makes it very useful in parties ^.-

Make a YouTube video of RDM soloing Diabolos Prime and I'll eat a live snake.

Have you ran into any DNCs at all?

[Kleiner]

When RDM solo's Diabolos, let me know. also, sicne when does a RDM buying an assload of gil's worth of Meds and soloing a sky god mean shit? Are sky gods even worthwhile anymore? this is 2009 last i checked.

Seconds, How am I usefull endgame? Let's see.. I nuke harder than black mages without MP limits, agro, or the need for refresh.

Once again.. When you know what you're talking about, try again.

Fuck no.

I love mostly all the jobs in FFXI, but some of these classes were either half asssed done or gimped like it was no tomorrow. Really hoping that they either change the mechanics of these classes in FFXIV or just remove them completely:

4. Scholar - Looks like SE got the weather wrong when they made this job cause it seems like a rip off caster version of rdm. Only thing good about this job is the cute AF other then that I won't mess with this job play the real deals like rdm , blm or whm if u wanna go that route. Kinda wished they made another tanking class since Wotg is in a war setting after all ROFL!!

3. Gimped Ranger- Nothing much I can say with this one other then by the fact they're useless as heck when it comes to parties and endgame rofl. If anyone plays this job that far that is hmmm...... >.>. THF already rules when it comes to pulling mobs , and we already got blms as a dmg back line that does 10X more dmg then this poor job =(.

2. Puppetmaster- Don't believe them when they say there's no strings attached when you unlock this job cause their is. Monks laugh hard when they see poor noobs leveling it >.> Well you do get a cute toy to pay with however he's automaton cost way too much to make this job worth while. Plus when the toy breaks down you'll have to wait heck of long to get him back before you can summon him again D: by that time the gobbies have already eaten you for lunch.

1. Ninjas - SE was smart when they designed the 2hr for this job boooooom wooooot that worthless tank is finally dead , but lets be real this class is useless no matter how high you lv it hahahaha real men don't need to hide behind their shadows, but sadly it seems that way with this job. Well the only thing this job is good at is for sub jobs ,and getting parties wiped in dynamis cause they sure can't keep the hate to save their lives......

4. right 3. right 2. right 1. WRONG!!! Ninja's are gods in this game SE tried gimping them and failed, SE will not give them more abilities cause they know's Ninja will be even more badass.

Wow, I almost answered seriously to this thread. Good thing I refreshed the page (was @ 1 reply).

Sch - Graviga, Bindga, Sneakga, Invisga, Stoneskinga, Phalanxga, MABga, and outside party Pro/Shell-ga IV.

Rng - Oh please, you hear the word 'nerfed' and you assume damage was gimped. All they did was increase emphasis on ranged attack, rather than melee for tp and shoot point blank. Grab a brain.

Pup - Used to be a very overpowered job class. Able to nukeIV continuously without resting, can erase, stoneskin, and flash while silenced. Ranged attacks without using up ammo.

Nin - /huh, you got me there. I'd love to be able to full DD ninja.

Troll, or not, I'm still going to answer because I'm bored...

Ranger could still do damage, but they had so much going against them post-nerf:
- Not being to do full damage against HNMs (their calling card) made them far less important
- Ammo was expensive, melee swings are free
- TP gain was a lot more slow now that melee was out of the picture
- Couldn't merit because they had to stand at range... Whenever they'd unleash damage, they'd pull the mob away from everyone, and there goes the xp chain...

As for ninja, letting that job become the best tank was greatest game changer in FFXI. It also made the least sense... Ninjas as tanks? They're supposed to be sneaky, shadowy assassins not front-lining the charge. In that sense, it was perhaps the worst-named job, even if it was in high demand.

Scholars had a bad start, but they're great. Still not invited to merit due to no Haste, but most jobs can't merit anyway.

Puppetmaster had a lot going for it. Their pets were amazing... until they or their pet get themselves killed. Then it's 20 minutes of muzak...

Most failed jobs should include:
1. Summoner - Has it uses, but it's main job was utterly worthless in the realm of xp parties.
2. Dancer - Great for small xp parties... and then what?
3. White Mage - The job of choice for people who like being abused. One of the most important jobs that also had the least respect in the game. It seems like FFXI as a whole was on a mission not to need this job anymore.

SCH in merit PTs didn't seem that bad to me.
Then again, as long as I'm getting 15~22k/hr I really don't care.

WHATTTTTTTT LOL you the heck are you smoking if we didn't have white mage's then all the parties would get owned really quick....... and summoners is the funnest job you can ever play when it comes to real pet classes unlike worthless pups as long as your not main healing or tanking. Smns do even more dmg then most good drks or sams could even dream about doing rofl

[Boldfinger]

Fuck no.

Oh well. It was worth an ask though

Wow. Whether this guy is serious or not, the stupidity rolling off his fingers is enormous.

Wow you have to be one of the more ignorant people ive seen, You very much come accross with the opinion of "i dont like it, therefore it must suck, and whatever i like is the best"

Rdm is by far not the best job, no job can claim there, every job has its place. Every job has its niche
Some jobs its easier to find that niche then others. want a job by job break down? i can give it if you want, but most of us know em.

Whms niche is not in merit partys, just like Sch doesnt fit there much either.
Once you pass level 40 and Rdm gets refresh, Whm loses its place as a exp party healer too, and it only gets more blaitent in aht urgan once you start TP burning.

to call a job worthless is to be ignorant and retarded, every job is good in certain situations, some just have more situations, or easier to find situations that they fit in.

As for Smn doing more damage then Drk, youve never seen a KClub Drk zerg have you? Ide like to see how a Smn can push out 20k+ damage in less then a minute.
