From the Near Eastern nation of Thavnair comes a troupe of bewitchingly graceful performers. Though certainly elegant and beautiful, their movements also speak of martial discipline─of a pulsing, persistent energy whose rhythm can inspire souls and soothe troubled hearts. Inured to the hardships of the road, these dancers have learned to land throwing weapons with the same exacting precision as their footfalls, removing any who would obstruct the endless beat of the dance.

The Dancer is a job in Final Fantasy XIV, introduced in the Shadowbringers expansion. It has no base class, starting at Level 60 and can be unlocked by completing the quest “Shall We Dance”, offered by an Eager Lominsan in Limsa Lominsa’s Lower Decks

Dancers are a ranged DPS class, wielded bladed chakrams that they toss at their opponents. A Dancer’s power shines in their use of their various dances, greatly enhancing their speed and power when performed correctly in sequential order. Starting at Level 60, Dancers can use Closed Position to share their various buffs with another party member that they can choose as their “Dance Partner”. As caveat to those, Dancers tend to have the lowest damage amongst their DPS peers.

  1. They are all easy to learn and the EASIEST dps Job is actually MCH because doing high damage with that Job is very simple.
    Also, DNC is capable of buffing/minor healing and keeping up with the damage and most of all, it pairs well with BRD and MNK.

  2. That is genuinely the best & smoothest guide I've found for any FF14 job so far, damn! The only one I enjoyed until now was the job overview from Siffus, just because it's so lovingly direct / honest and explains concepts nicely. But this one is SO well paced, combines everything from jokes & visuals & keybinds into one cool story. Thanks so much!

    … would love to see an Astro guide, too. c:

  3. I consider it misleading to call dancer a support class. The dance partner boost is like a few percent. This is nice, but most of the damage that a dancer contributes is of course by pressing their own buttons.
    In fact, there are no support classes in FFXIV. All the jobs are basically the same with a few % removed from this aspect but added to that aspect etc
