The best Final Fantasy XIV classes for new players

1) Arcanist. Arcanist takes the number one spot as an excellent starting class because of its range of DPS, healing, and tanking abilities. As a magical ranged DPS, Arcanist does damage with a variety of DoT attacks as well as has the ability to summon battle pets to inflict damage, but it also has quite a few useful healing spells.
