Similar to classes, each job represents one specific [[role]]: {{Tank}} tank, {{Healer}} healer, or {{Dps}} DPS. Jobs of the same role are balanced to provide roughly the same level of combat performance at the level cap. While all content in the game can be completed with any job as long as role composition requirements are met, some forms of content may favor specific jobs. In addition, jobs differ from one another in their playing style (e.g. melee vs. ranged damage) and in the balance of damage, utility, and party buffs they provide. | Similar to classes, each job represents one specific [[role]]: {{Tank}} tank, {{Healer}} healer, or {{Dps}} DPS.
