Final Fantasy XIV – Job Tier List

gamepur.com:

Final Fantasy XIV has a complex roster of jobs for you. While this is mainly a choice you should make based on your personal preferences, you should also weigh in if your chosen gig can at least handle a goofy slime before committing hours, maybe even weeks, to it.

You’ll be happy to know any given job can get you through all of Final Fantasy XIV’s main storyline and side content at any level of difficulty, though some will require more hustle than others. If this is your first time switching jobs, or maybe you’re deciding which should be your starting job in Final Fantasy XIV, don’t think too much about it: if something doesn’t feel right, switch to a new one. I crashed trying to master Sage when it was all the rage in late 2022. Lesson learned: don’t follow my path of burnout. Just because a job is “the best” doesn’t mean it’s the best for you. Still, you’ll want to know which ones seem to be working for most players before diving in headfirst.

Best Tanks in Final Fantasy XIV

4. Paladin

Paladin isn’t terrible but falls short with the game updates and recent class changes. Unless you’re dead-set on feeding your hero ego, any other tank is smarter.

3. Dark Knight

Dark Knight is great for shielding other party members, but always as an off-tank, never as the main one. On the bright side, dungeon pulls as a Dark Knight work wonderfully.

2. Gunbreaker
