Dancer
Introduction
“From the Near Eastern nation of Thavnair comes a troupe of bewitchingly graceful performers. Though certainly elegant and beautiful, their movements also speak of martial discipline─of a pulsing, persistent energy whose rhythm can inspire souls and soothe troubled hearts. Inured to the hardships of the road, these dancers have learned to land throwing weapons with the same exacting precision as their footfalls, removing any who would obstruct the endless beat of the dance.
Dancer (DNC) is a job introduced with the Shadowbringers expansion and unlockable at level 60. It is one of three physical ranged DPS jobs and does not have a base class. This job uses Throwing Weapons to deal damage to targets from afar and performs dances to damage enemies and enhance party members.
