You forgot about the most important weaving skill I see: The Rotationgone: "Weaving your GCDs between ogcds as you try desperately to fix your mess"

"place an emote on your bar to help practice slide casting" Yes, embrace emoting, it starts with just 1, then it becomes a whole bar, then half your action bars are full.

They way I figured out the slide casting timing was from playing RDM. Since the dualcast buff would pop up at the same time as you could start moving.

A contribution, not specifically related to anything in that video: Character hurtboxes. For enemies, their hurtbox is as big as their target circle. As long a that circle overlaps with an AoE, they will be affected. (This notably applies to the totems in the Wanderer's Palace (Hard); tanks will sometimes pull enemies until they're visually just outside of the AoE, but they will still benefit from it because their hurtbox/circle is a bit bigger.) For players however, your hurtbox is *as small as point* at the center of your target circle, (or at the very least is dramatically smaller than the circle), so you can generously overlap with danger puddles without getting hit, and find safe spots in the tiniest interstices between puddles. Unfortunately that point is not shown on the circle. Your own target circle still show the size of your hitbox for movement and parkour. If you walk up to a wall, you will stop when the border of the circle hits the wall. If you walk off a ledge, you will not fall so long as the circle overlaps with the ground.

Earthly Star is a pet action!? That explains why it feels less impactful than its potency would suggest (since its pet potency) but thats so odd...

This is such a great video! I'm a fairly new player and there was so much useful information here that I had never heard before. I really appreciate that you made it easy to follow by explaining slang terms such as clipping and early/late weaving

Mate, you are just the best ffxiv guide out there!

I've played FF14 for years now and I never knew about that slidecasting emote trick! THANK YOU SO MUCH now I can enjoy playing my BLM without feeling like im being handicapped by my high ping!

Can confirm that we scholar mains always have measuring contest before pull when bumped into each other.

Some I knew. Others I didn't. Was nice to learn the exact priority for what shield replaces what. Definitely will be useful if I ever get paired with a Sage.

learning that RDM's oGCDs deal physical damage completely blew my mind, i had to go and check the damage icon against a striking dummy after watching this. the illusion of my embolden boosting fleche damage is gone now

Wow, I keep getting surprised how much I learn from your channel, the AST Eartly Star shocked me the most tbh! Keep up the good work! 👏

the extremely specific power boosts thing reminds me of how the PLDs ability FoF originally only buffed physical attacks but I got an in argument with a static member who insisted that it buffed all damage but that magic damage was calculated differently which is why we supposedly hardly saw an increase. moot argument now though since they legit changed the ability to increase all damage after all.

i truly hate that "bigger shield wins" *only* applies to identical buffs. as a sch main, if i had a gil for every time a PF sage has ruined my spreadlo, i'd have just finished fully furnishing my mansion.

I was always annoyed that Scholar could get their critical Adlo overwritten by a crit from a sage, making wasted deployment tactics very possible and common. I never considered it was for the same reason as Dark Knight's TBN, so thank you for making that clear! I think the only way they could fix the issue Scholar has with Sage shields and Deployment Tactics would be to make Deployment a shield by itself equal to Adlo, critical under the effect of Recitation, but that would be a bit too strong.

I "lateweave" Gunbreaker's Eye Gouge after Wicked Talon a lot just because it looks cooler, nice to know it had a name!

l hate that change on healing over time where it no longer generates enmity. l was relying on gnb's aurora to make easy big pulls in arr dungeons, lol

Are we sure Fey Illumination affects Embrace? The faerie doesn't get the buff and its healing potency looks unchanged. This was one of the reasons why the ability looked underwhelming compared to SGE's toolkit. Basically a 2-minute CD that makes your Adloquiums slightly better.

since whm’s lilybell is a pet, i wonder if any of asylum, sacred soil and why not also huton, salted earth and slipstream are actually pets

Shame that shields overwrite each other, but I suppose that's more balanced than having them stack. I wonder how a dual shield healer raid with stacking shields would look. 🤔 How many mechanics could they break? lol

All this stuff about Weaving, GCDs and OGCDs... I JUST MASH MY TANK BUTTONS OK? (though I do Slidecast on white mage)
