FFXIV: Top 3 Solo Classes

Many players are looking for the best single player classes in FFXIV. Even though the game is an MMORPG, there are some aspects to it that many people want to enjoy on their own. And if you’re worried that it might not be possible, you’re in luck. So in this guide, let’s take a look at the top 3 solo classes to use in Final Fantasy XIV.

Top 3 solo classes in FFXIV

Top 3 solo classes in Final Fantasy 14:

  • blue mage
  • Paladin
  • Bard

That’s why you should consider these 3 solo missions over other missions in the game:

blue mage

Let’s start with a task created specifically for a single player game. This class is able to work well whether you are playing alone or with someone. The maximum level you can reach with it is level 70. But before you start with it, this class has one big problem: you can’t use it to pass MSQ. Therefore, if you want to progress in MSQ alone, you should choose Red Mage.

The blue mage is unique mainly in that he studies the movements of his enemies. This does not apply to other classes as they need to level up in order to do so. You just need to witness how the enemy uses the technique and when you defeat him, you have a chance to get this skill. And another advantage that this job has is that it gains more experience in fighting enemies in the open world compared to other classes.

Finally, apart from MSQ, there are some duties that you cannot do with a blue mage:

  • On duty roulettes
  • Squadron missions
  • Stone, Sky, Sea
  • Forbidden Land, Eureka
  • Rookie Hall
  • PvP including duels

The good thing is that both of the classes below are not only good, but also allow you to pass the MSQ.

Paladin is the best solo class in FFXIV

Paladin is a job you get from the gladiator class. This job is perfect if you like a tanky character. Paladin not only offers you high defense, but also gives you spells that allow you to heal yourself. And protection isn’t the only thing this class needs. Their damage is pretty decent. So given that you get high defensive and healing abilities. You can easily participate in battles without worrying that you will easily die in battle.

Bard

Bard is the class for you if you like to fight from a distance. This class deals ranged physical damage. They specialize in moves that deal damage over time. The obligatory class for a bard is an archer. So using this class allows you to be good at ranged combat. Because while you can deal great damage to your enemies. Distance plays a key role here. Bard doesn’t have very high defense like Paladin. So this is what you should keep in mind before you start with it.
