bladecrustacean6070: Where's FSH?

RatKingRussian: Leveled blm: "I adore this i am now a BLM main"

Leveled pictomancer : "I am a caster main"

dylanusmagnus: Picto, next question.

YUXKE: Blue Mage?? :)

Reoh0z: Pictomancer confused the heck out of me until I spent some time on a training dummy.

But once I got it, it is indeed a lot of fun.

Hunterbw93: Summoner is just the cuckolded version of Red Mage. Cant multi raise, doesnt have party mitigation, its heal doesnt scale off of its main stat and it literally does less damage. Red Mage can do every single thing Summoner can do but better and even more.

octaviaautumn3656: Black Mage my beloved

jereboy2005: I have played almost solely summoner sice i started when endwalker hit. And i liked its looks and flow, but definitely wanted more and the solar bahamut is not it.

I decided ti branch out and start trying the other casters. Leveled up blm to 70, and just unlocked pct. I definitely think caster is for me even thiugh ive not even unlocked any melee or tanks haha. Red mage seems fun.

I would have loced ti stay smn but they just kinda didnt make it any more fun this expansion

Lukaz2009: Have gotten Picto, Black Mage, and Summoner to level 100 of the caster DPS so far. Mained Picto for MSQ and love it to death. Summoner is the same as it was in Endwalker. Enjoyed it then and enjoy it now. I just wish that the Demi summons had a bit more uniqueness to them. Black Mage is in quite a sad state. Like, it isn't unplayably bad after some of the patch changes, but it is so sad. Still need to levek Red Mage from 90 to 100, but I don't expect it to have changed much from Endwalker so it should be a good time.

lyconxero457: I haven't leveled Black Mage yet in Dawntrail so I've not personally experienced the changes post 90 but I have leveled all the other casters to 100 and it's honestly not even close. Pictomancer is such a fun job to play that it was actually hard for me to level other jobs because I just wanted to level it more. In fact, the only job that I've enjoyed playing as much as Pictomancer...is Viper! SE really cooked with these new jobs and I've gotta say that I actually really like the changes that they made to Viper in 7.05 as the job feels silky smooth in action. But back to the casters, I honestly found that Red Mage is the most boring to play which surprised me as Summoner is essentially the same job as before but I just found Red Mage to be very ineffective at movement as compared to all the other casters. Pictomancer has super long cast times but with a little practice you can find opportune times to get them off while stockpiling things that allow for easy movement while maintaining your damage. Summoner is basically just a ranged physical DPS so movement is not really a problem the vast majority of the time and what I realized after leveling both Red Mage and SMN was that there's no situation where i'd rather take the Red Mage over the SMN as Red Mage feels like I have to work really hard for very little DPS whereas SMN feels like I have to work very little for very little DPS but with neither of them being particularly fun for me to play the choice becomes clear as to which I'd rather use when I'm forced to use one at all. 9/10 if I'm playing caster I'm playing Pictomancer as of right now but who knows if that'll change once I start leveling BLM. On the surface, the changes seem interesting...but I can't see it being more fun than Pictomancer as I personally got over casting the same spell over and over again and thinking that was fun back in Heavensward. Honestly, it's to the point now that I'm really hoping that they completely revamp Black Mage because it's just boring to play for me currently but I'm just really thankful that there are plenty of other jobs that I really enjoy playing in the game AND the actual battle content this expansion has been fantastic thus far.
