Explanation
Pictomancer
Caster
High damage per second numbers, comes with solid party buffs.
Viper
Melee
Capable of dealing great damage, and easy to execute.
Dragoon
Good damage and it comes with great buffs.
Bard
Physical Ranged
Great damage output and utility skills.
Take, for example, the level 100 spell “Star Prism”.
And don’t forget about the Dragoon’s Battle Litany, the Dragoon’s signature buff.
Regardless of how powerful the S-Tier classes are,you still need to learn and study the fights.
A downside of this class is the lack of buffs from which others in the party could benefit from.
Fortunately, the numbers Viper can reach compensate for its fairly individual kit.
In addition, Bard offerslots of utility and a solid capacity to deal damage.
Among the physical ranged DPS classes, it is the best option.
Here’s how to beat Leviathan in The Whorleater (Hard) Trial in Final Fantasy 14.
Dancer
Easy to play and great buffs, but not as flexible and powerful as Bard.
Monk
Good melee class with great raid buffs, but with a stiff and punitive rotation.
Samurai
Great burst, difficult to master, and doesn’t help the group.
Ninja
Provides solid assistance to the party but lacks damage.
Summoner
Although lacking damage, it’s easy to play and has great tools for the party.
Red Mage
A little bit more complex, but has great utility and reasonable damage.
SummonerandRed Mageshare the A-Tier caster spot because, fundamentally, they are very similar.
Even though the effort might turn into big numbers, it is hardly justified.
Machinist
Extracting all the potential requires zero mistakes and no contribution to the rest of the party.
TheMachinisthas been in a difficult position for a long time.
Among the Physical Ranged classes, it has the biggest damage output capacity.
