Have played all the Jobs available for the Free Trial I figured I’d give my thoughts on each job to help trial players prepare for the content they can run.

Whm main here, and I agree with you on putting whm in B for content below 60. Whm feels weird until it gets it’s blood lily gauge, and I hate how long it’s aoe cast time is, absolutely zero chance to weave in an ogcd. Also benediction takes too long to take effect sometimes so my tank dies to that.
I am so glad I can see damage types now, there are so many times where I had to just do a 50/50 guess about if dark mind will work. I've noticed that there are actually a lot of bosses that primarily do magic damage, even with their autos.
I'm torn about Blue Mage. Like you said it's kind of a shame that we can't do the Blue Mage stuff as it was done on release. On the other hand I tried tanking Nael with the Heavensward kit and it didn't go very well… So with the additional tank spells given in Stormblood makes the content I think more reasonable. Shame that trial players won't be able to do the content but overall it may be better for those who want to get the Morbol mount.
What I'd like so see eventually is a tier list for all jobs at every raid tier. Like Maybe Paladin is like S tier for 50 but B tier for 60 etc. As someone who likes to do older content I'd be interested in your thoughts.
Legitimately got confused for a second about RDM not being on the list, but then remembered even if it STARTS at 50, it's from Stormblood. ;-; I liked the video before I even continued watching past like 3 seconds, and I think it'll help newer players. I'll definitely shove this towards people I'm brainwashing into playing I mean giving them a choice to play.
while true that stormblood gives blue mages a lot of very powerful spells, the ARR/HW spell list is still very respectable. I've personally helped free trial blue mages get their morbol mount and while they do fall behind in damage due to missing spells, they still contribute more than a normal job would be able to since they have access to all the utility spells available in the ARR/HW spell list like magic hammer, white wind, lv 5 death, etc while also still having access to the two objectively best spells in the spellbook: Aetherial Mimicry and Angel Whisper
