The Features About Class That You Choose at First
Hi,I’m Karin(@KarinMie_en).
This article is about the “Classes (Jobs)”.
When you change your weapon, you can change your class (job) in FF XIV.
So, it is okay to choose the class you interested in.
Or, the city where you start is decided by the class, so you can select class make a point of the city.
3 cities (Ul’dah, Limsa Lominsa and Gridania) can be going at once.
Classes and Jobs
It is class what you can select when you begin the FF XIV.
A class level will be 30, it can be a job.
For example) Gladiator (class) → Paladin (job)
Each classes have levels so you need to level grinding several classes.
Classes stand like an introduction to play FF XIV because contents over 30 levels are supposed to be a job.
Roles
It can be roughly divided into 3 roles.
There are Tank, Healer and DPS, and players should do their part in any contents.
Party
There are light party and full party.
Light pary consists 1 Tank, 1 Healer and 2 DPS.
Full party is doubled in the light pary.
(Some contents required fill party, it consists 1 Tank, 2 Healer and 5 DPS.)
TANK
They are at the forefront of the battles and the features of Tank is high in HP and trained in defense.
Attract attention to enemies and defend other party members to take over attacked from enemies.
There is much demand for Tank in FF XIV so it is easy to match players by using Duty Finder.
If you don’t want want wait to go any contents, I recommend you try to play Tank.
Gladiator (Paladin)
He use a sword and a shield.
It is good for beginner because the defense is high and balance is good.
The level is growing up, he can heal and protect group members against enemies, so it also good who wants to support group members.
Marauder (Warrior)
His weapon is an ax.
His defense is as lower as gladiator, but his HP is high and its attack is strong.
If you feel “it’s not enough just defend!” it sill be happier than gladiator.
