However, because of the numerous skills and combos available in Final Fantasy XIV's battle jobs, it can be difficult to play the game with a controller, as the players would need to shuffle through the skills frequently, making it difficult to respond to some mechanics in time, especially if they aren't used to playing in controller.

Dark Knight does not need too much macro as well, with a lot of skills being instantly activated and does not need to be placed manually by hand.

During a bad situation, White Mages can also quickly heal up their party members quickly with their spells and heals as they have very high healing potency.
White Mages also have uncomplicated attack combos with less resources to play with, only Lilies.
