Choosing a job for Endwalker, based on the Media Tour Job Changes:
This is the first expansion where I’ve been caught up and have been able to look over the changes and decide what to play. I have around 4-5 possible options so wanted to see how my highest levels characters were changing in Endwalker and decide what to play.
What have you chosen as your main job for Endwalker, or atleast the job you’re going to play through the EW MSQ with?

Finally picked what to play in Endwalker – what job are you going with in Endwalker?
You can level both. Use Paladin for quick queues, and when you unlock hunts and beast tribes, use them to level up a dps.
Edit: Starting with Gunbreaker on my main, and Black Mage on my Lalafell alt.
I'm most likely gonna play SCH/SMN at first. Because 2 classes in one 🙂 And then, I dont know. Maybe Red mage on alt
Best job in Endwalker: Sweet popoto!!!
Hehe, just pulling your leg, I know you don't wanna. But maybe a cute emo bunboy?
How do you not use Requiescat on Paladin?! You're missing out on so much damage. It makes your spells instant cast and buffs them a ton. Read your tooltips lol. You don't cast Requiescat, it's an instant attack……
Started in HW as a monk and have mained the job ever since. It'd feel like a betrayal to finish it off as anything else. Come 6.1 and beyond though, who knows. I've finally leveled a bunch of the jobs to max so I have choices for the first time but deep in my heart I think I'm always going to be a monk.
I'm gonna be maining Dancer, but damn. I've levelled Monk to 80 too because its Endwalker rework just looks so sick.
EW parties
tank-reaperx2-sage
enjoy
With the amount of XP the MSQ gives you (including dungeons) you can literally level 2 jobs simultaneously; 3 if you include a unlock quests. Just switch between every quest. Summoner looks so fun, mine will be that, red mage and dancer.
I am a lifelong fangirl of the paladin aesthetic, so I was going to main it in EW regardless . . . but goddamn its changes look so good! Will probably level monk or blm alongside it (blm isn't quite 80 yet but I'm loving it haha)
Always loved the aesthetics of black mage. Started as BLM, will finish as BLM.
We wuz summonerz n shit
Machinist has always been my go too and I’m happy that the rotation is pretty much unchanged from what I can see which is great 👍🏻
Join the Summoner Gang!! Summer day 1 main!!!!
Paladin will probably have faster roulettes on launch because of sages and reapers filling up the queues, so doing paladin on launch and then focus on astrologian seems like a good move.
Astro and scholars are a lot of fun once you get used to their mechanics and it really feels like astro might be the most fun healer to use in endwalker, along with sage if it ends up being as good as it looks.
I'll level the new jobs first and then focus on summoner myself, cuz I could never get used to its rotation in ShB and I'm hoping it'll be less clunky to optimize now.
Check out Marty's Lala harem!
id always recommend to play a dps during the msq because its an easy way to level to max level without grinding. Tanks and healer have their short queue times which makes it alot easier to level them
I'm definitely going as a paladin just because it's the poster boy job. and for me it's the spotlight it deserves because I've out in time to unlock the ARR relic for it but don't play it much at all
Good choice. Not only do you have big protagonist energy, the tank queue is going to remain dominant with everyone queueing as either healer or dps. The party doesn't start until you get there, literally.
I'm keeping faithful to my first class for MSQ (Monk), but will probably not be raiding day 1. Gonna wait a few weeks after launch for things to settle down.
I'm stuck between red and scholar. So I think I'm going to do both. Right now scholar is 70. so I should be able to get to 80 if I push hard
Good choice. Ast and Reaper are good too ! And summoner is not for everyone .. yes flashy but for who likes summon and magic more.
NIN and MNK hype!
I’ve always loved scythes. I saw my granddad use them. I love them and characters that use them in video games (Warframe, Necro in D3, Vora in Paladins, etc.). But what sold me for Reaper was the aesthetic, it screamed Bloodborne.
I started the game as a Monk main in the beta for 1.0 way back in the day, but changed to Ninja for Heavensward and then Samurai for Stormblood and Shadowbringers. I think for Endwalker I am going back to Monk just because I like the symmetry of closing out the story on the same Job I started it on. After the credits roll I'll probably change back to Samurai (because man do I love that job), but going back to the beginning for EW appeals to me.
Since this is your choice remember 2 things: 1. This will be your first time tanking at level. It will feel harder and mobs will hit much harder so test out the pacing before doing huge pulls. 2. Tanks are getting a step-up in difficulty now that cds used appropriately will be rewarded with extra protection and damage. So cd usage will be a little more complex and it is a good idea to take a minute to read through the tooltips before jumping into EW content.
I am gonna play Astro first then I will level my WHM as well, because I will play as a Regen healer when the raidtier drops 😊
Fun fact: the Lord and Lady mechanic (that it is a separate cardsystem inside of the cardsystem) is not new, that's how in Stormblood worked 🙂
