I agree with you for the most part, some classes will come a lot easier to some. From hardest to easiest, dps wise, I'd probably go SMN > DRG = NIN > MNK > BLM > BRD but since some of them play quite differently it's natural some find one easier than another. I do think MNK's difficulty is massively overstated sometimes, both by players and the developers themselves. If the game didn't have flashing lights and held your hand through the rotation maybe I'd think differently. It's just a really fluid and straight forward class, and there is not a lot of oGCD management needed. That is the biggest reason I think DRG is harder, if only a little bit, as the difference between most good/bad drgs I see is how they utilize their oGCDs. Pre buff I would of put them above NIN and probably SMN too, the positional were just so punishing. Really though all of the classes are really close, people obsess way too much over supposed difficulty.Eh, I see these "my dps is more difficult than yours!" arguments all the time, and really I think its more based on the person than the actual class itself.
My main DRG was difficult at first as well but that was only because I was learning the game. Same goes for MNK and I've never felt either classes were really more difficult to play then the other. Timing jumps and keeping greased lightning up are only really a thing, in my experience, if you don't really know the fight. Once I figured out a fight these things become non-issues I could mitigate and deal with-neither one being more of a hassle than the other. This is pretty solid argument that can be made for most jobs in this game though your mileage may vary from player to player.
I've basically run the gambit on most of the dps classes and I've found SMN to probably be the hardest class I've picked up yet in terms of trying to eak out maximum damage potential. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that find this an easy class. I think the biggest reason I stuck around with it was simply because its so radically different from DRG.
It'll be interesting how things change up with the new skills come expansion. I'm kinda worried as a controller player, if you count in PvP skills it's already possible to nearly run out of real estate on some classes.
Hey fuck you buddy!Triple Triad man
fuck you RNG
Nah but, in terms of RNG grinds, TT doesn't seem that bad to me since the game is actually fun. Some of the npcs I spent hours on without a care, it's really only the BS rule sets like chaos and random that upset me. They really need to integrate that talked about mobile app already though, earning mgp/cards via TT on phone would be amazing.
