Most Punchable Job Trainer (Healer)

Honorable mention to Jannequinard de Durendaire, who is not an Astrologian trainer in any sense of the word but is, in your humble pollrunner's opinion, pretty punchable.

"Why do you not include Warriors in this Tank poll???" : Because a good Warrior is basically a one-man army and barely needs healing anyway, if at all. 😂 xD

.

[My own Healer thoughts is below the 'Read More' to not clutter the poll].

Now, in my own case I mainly play as a White Mage/WHM while healing, so my favorite Tank is Paladin. They're basically fine with a Regen, and in a pinch I can also add Medica II's own Regen. Hell, if the duty is high enough lvl to let me use Asylum, that makes my life healing a Paladin even easier.

WHM has a lot of focus on pure healing, so I pair really well with Paladin's high defense and many shield skills. Granted I might be a bit biased too, since my main jobs are Paladin/WHM/Warrior, which means I also have a good idea of what a teammate Paladin can and can't do at certain levels.

With that said I don't mind DRK/Gunbreaker either, because even if they shoot themselves in the foot (like Gunbreaker's superbolide 😂) I can usually just Benedict them up to full in a pinch. They feel a little more squishy in the lower level dungeons/trials though, since I don't have any of my few shields/"take lower damage"-skills at that point to give them. Meanwhile a Gladiator/Paladin already has a few shield-skills they can use at a low level, which pairs really well in those dungeons I can still only use Cure I and maybe Medica/Cure II.

So I think one of the most underutilised thing in FFXIV canon is that the WoL, if they play specific classes, are channelling large amounts of magical energy through themselves.

(I'm mostly thinking of casting classes here, along with WHM/AST)

And, like, even with Hydealyns blessing, human bodies were not designed to channel such energies. That's why you get things like 'Hey if you try and be a BLM without the soul stone, you WILL burn from the inside out!'

And I know it's because they want you to be able to play every class, but just imagine if your class DID effect your character physically.

I was inspired to make this post because I saw a video of someone repairing a small vase via Kintsugi. Which in turn reminded me of the Gabrielle Aplin song of the same name. Which contains one of my all time favourite lines:

All my scars are golden.

See, scar tissue is already modified. I'm no biologist and it's been a while since I properly looked into scars, but scar tissue is different to regular skin, that much I know.

So imagine that being where it's obvious. Your WoLs scars.

A White Mage who emanates this soft white glow from their scars as they cast.

Astrologians that glitter and shimmer and glow as they pull the stars into themselves.

Black mages who's scars darken and seem to be collapsing as they draw on the void.

Red mages who are a mishmash of glowing and collapsing.

These people are pulling powerful forces through their body and you can see it. Even if you know nothing about magic, even if you're just a spectator, you can see how their journey has shaped them, has changed and effected them.

Everyone has scars, after all!

Most Huggable Job Trainer (Healer)

By popular request, I have separated out A-Ruhn-Senna and Raya-O-Senna, even though that means that almost half of the options are White Mage-specific.
