Agree. When I started FFXIV I chose Marauder. I enjoyed the game up to level 30 but my GOD when I got to dungeons I hated it. I didn't know what aggro, enmity etc was and I was just a mess. People were moaning at me and I was like to hell with this!

I switched to Lancer for DPS and found it much more enjoyable and less stressful. So yeah, experiment, and find what suits you.
