Job: Difference between revisions

'''Jobs are not mutually exclusive.''' Given enough time, one can level all classes and jobs on a single character.

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.

This list includes all jobs with their base classes.

====Barrier healers====

==== {{DRG}} [[Dragoon]] ====

Dragoons are famous for launching themselves across battlefields and decimating their foes using lance-based weapons, bombarding enemies with vicious leaping attacks and lengthy combos while empowering allies with buffs. They draw upon the Blood of the Dragon to augment their abilities. Dragoons have very strong AoE damage, with several attacks that cleave in a line. Compared to other melee DPS, dragoon does not have particularly hard-hitting weaponskills, but instead uses a combination of weaponskills and a variety of off-global cooldown abilities to deal strong sustained and burst damage.

==== {{BRD}} [[Bard]] ====

Bards are bow-wielding ranged damage dealers sporting mobility, utility, and a proc-based combat style that debilitates enemies through damage-over-time effects wrought by their skillful bow shots. Through the power of song, they can also provide party-wide buffs and inspire their allies to greater feats of damage, some of the strongest party buffs in the game. Their own attacks cycle through 3 different distinct periods based on the song they are currently playing. They are the only non-healer job that can remove a detrimental status effect from a party member, using a unique ability. They also possess an action that temporarily increases healing received to all allies in range.
