The beauty of this system that FF14 brings to the table is the ability of choice.
With FF14 you can change your class to be whatever you want; But, to me it sounds like you might get along best with a Lancer (Dragoon) or an Arcanist (Summoner)
Both specialize in doing damage, and both avoid having to take a secondary "healing/support" route in order to learn the respective Jobs.
I tested the game with a THM and LNC during Beta and even did a few minutes of archer. All the classes do feel rather unique with their own set of mechanics.. Don't feel as if you have to lock yourself into something. If anything come time for Phase 4 perhaps spend some time making random characters and test out the first few levels of each starting class; find the one that feels the most "you"
....
What I always do when creating a character is try to imagine the world that I am going to be putting them in. Do I feel a male or female character suits this world better for me?
Once I get a clear image of the character I want in terms of looks and feel, I begin to look for inspiration for a story be it from other games (role models), or through music to help envision a past.

Sometimes it might be good to just take a step back and just close your eyes and think .... what am I? ...
