If you are wondering how to choose a job in FFXIV, this guide is really useful for you. First of all, you should have basic understanding of each class in official website or wiki, which will help you a lot. Once you know the strengths and weakness of each class, it is better for you to understand this guide. This guide is mainly for new members of FFXIV, if you are experienced players, you can have your idea on choice as you have played for a long time and you know your preference and abilities.

One thing you should know is that you are not limited to choose one class, so you can choose several to benefit from from them with the “cross class skills”.

In my game play, firstly I choose Tank as my class. Tank is a class that can absorb damage for the team. To keep the team in safe, tank usually uses specific skills to attract enemies. This is the responsibility to be a Tank. When a DPS class attack an enemy in your team, enmity will be gathered by DPS, leading the enemies battle back to the DPS. At the same time, Healers will gather aggro to all enmity which are close to them on all enemies in a way that heals the teammates in your group. That the main job of a Tank is to maintain the enmity on all enemies in the area to ensure enemies could not attack Healers or DPS’s. Though Tank can’t do less damage to an enemy than a DPS does, it can create enmity to outmatch the enmity of other classes. If you are a Tank, you should be the leader that walks close to enemies to ensure security of other members in the team, so you will always be a team leader.

As for DPS, the responsibility is to deal with damage to enemies. And they are susceptible to injuries and are squishy to some extent. If you want to be a good DPS, you should know how to dodge attacks and make good performance of several skills to maximize damage to the enemies.

To be a Healer, your main job is to heal injure for your teammates in a party. And you need to create barriers that is used to protect members in your party. Healers can do great attacks but not as strong as the DPS does. If you want to get less DPS in game, you can buy FFXIV Gil to buy good armor or equipment for you.

If you want to level fast to 30, you should equip Soul Crystal, it can increase your stats by nearly 10% to 20%. And you can get access to the job "job-specific skills". But you do this, you will make your cross class skill slots decreased 8 also and lose access to cross class skills of many classes, which will result in less choice to pick from. Buy cheap FFXIV Gil to get good weapons when defeat with enemies!

At last, I want to say, to be Tank, Healer or DPS, it is up to your choice, moreover, you can choose other class like Monk, Scholar or Bard. As long as you can make full of the skills, you can be great player in that class. Hope you have fun in FFXIV.
