@@ShikiRen Honestly? Yes. Now we can know which mage isn't casting damage.

there is nothing more painful than losing to enrage with 0.1% damage. only comparable to commiting to kill the boss before a mechanic starts and wiping because there wasn't enough DPS to kill the boss before the mechanic could kill everyone.

@@Gyrono yep, same, its the only time I advocated to not wait for cutscenes. and we still wiped.

It helped when I finally figured out how Astral Fire and Umbral Ice actually worked because the game doesn't actually tell you in your tooltips what they do, just that you get them. (Fire stacks increase your damage but halts your MP regen, Ice cause you to rapidly regenerate MP but don't give you the damage buff)

@@luminusprime GOD yes it feels so bad to use backdash+Enpi as SAM because of this, even if it *is* buffed (luckily you can often greed the aoe by dodging at the very last moment and only lose half a GCD's time)

@@luminusprime The answer is the person who stays in the orange and gets out closer to as late as they can without getting hit and gap closes back in after the attack goes off, and thus barely spends any time delaying a GCD, if any.

Oh yeah. I use my ranged ability any time I have to run from an AoE, stand in a tower, or close a gap after a boss quick move. If I'm not within 4 yalms, you can bet I'm smashing that knife throw.

It's great not only for the damage - get that free ninki!

you could have put that dagger throw to better use by using a GCD at max melee, moving off the boss and getting back to the boss before the GCD expired. Only time it's a DPS boost is if you spend a full GCD or more off the boss. But for most bosses if you hit the melee skill just as you move out of range, youi can get back to the mobs max melee distance before the GCD expires foregoing any need to have used dagger throw in the first place. However, if there is a long time where you are not on the boss, then yes, please use ranged abilities.

Especially now that ranged attacks don't interrupt your ongoing melee combos in EW

I NEEED A HERO

Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods...?

@@marcusalm7350 Where is the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds...?

tmw you've been a healer main for years, and you never knew your delicate DPS had an invulnerability period... Man, I almost wish I'd never known, because now I'm recalling the infinite number of times I've raised an overeager DPS only for them to die immediately as they begin casting in an AoE puddle....

that's... good to know.

You actually have a *lot* of time to delay accepting the raise. It gives a full minute!

Yeah... I'm glad that some people wait a moment before accepting my res... but holy shit does it cause me to panic. Like, are they salty and just refusing it? Nah, I'm sure they're just riding out this boss mechanic, right? ...right? I'm also that bad DPS that as soon as i see the res button I'm like, "LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO," and then res into a meteor. Or, I forget that if i accept the game's res, I'm locked out of the fight. I'm, a decent healer main, but as DPS, I'm sure my healers LOVE me.

Also, thinking about this as well... So, part of the anxiety I have about ressing others, is that when things are going on, I'm ususlly not watching to make sure that swiftcast and ascend go off correctly. I throw ascend out, and then, move on to whatever needs to be done next. So, if anyone would like a more noticable audio queue I thought of this macro. /ac "Name of whatever" /echo /micon "Name of whatever" So, I've no doubt that someone will come around and be like, "Uhm, actually, macros are bad. Mmmmmkaaaay," and you know what? I say it depends on what and how you're using them. If you're mindful of their short comings, then, depending on your use, they can be super helpful. Should ypu string all your attack combos together into a macro? I wouldn't advise it. Should you string swiftcast and your res together? I wouldn't advise it. But, I use a macro system that lets me multi task extremely well while dpsing, and as long as I'm mindful of how it works, It's not failed me.

Healers: What's a "queue"? Is that the thing for the peons that don't get to decide who lives or dies?

I always try to queue when I'm doing beastman quests or the little sidequests for experience.

I usually do either beastman shenanigans or do crafter/gatherer stuff. If I don't feel like doing those, I'll often run around like a doofus

That's what striking dummies are for.

that's odd, after all it'll just be an easy way for melee jobs to maintain dps easily, so it's super convenient. though some other jobs like ninja and samurai will still benefit more from using the ranged/disengage skills they already have for higher DPS uptime while not at melee range.

Who's mad about that? They should grow a brain if they are.

@@camil-jr A certain group of people in this game will always find something to complain about. I remember when Shirk was introduced in Stormblood and there were a bunch of snobs saying that you shouldn't need the skill at all and if you use it you are a bad tank. Without considering the fact that if you use it then you can go straight back into dealing damage after a tank swap without having to worry about emnity.

Really? I wonder how common this mindset is? I main as a tank but when I play healer or DPS the amount of tanks I see even in expert roulette that don't ever mitigate is embarrassing. Then of course they blame you when they die to a tankbuster or you just can't keep up on a wall-to-wall. What do people think those skills are for? Why would there be a skill that makes you take more damage and does nothing else? Some people really are idiots. lol

@@KotCR I get what you're saying, I do. but JoCat touched on this in the video about those mitigations, "But what about those long cooldowns?" same advice for tank cooldowns, most of them are short enough that if you space them out well enough and with good control, you can almost always have a CD up during mob pulls. Honestly, what I tell newer tanks in dungeons is that: "Most of the dmg a tank takes is actually during trash pulls... bosses don't do all that much comparatively (even tank busters), So try to use your heavy CDs one after the other during mob pulls, and you'll find out that if the healer can do more dmg the faster the dungeon run can go."

@@MekamiEye Yeah I know, I wonder if these players are stuck in a "reactive" rather than "proactive" mindset. Where they think they are only to be used in emergencies, but they're not, with the exception of perhaps the Invul skills (even then, I feel Pally's should get comfortable using Hallowed Ground the same as any other mitigation, seems as there is no downside to it, and getting it on CD earlier means you can use it again sooner). I think so many tanks need to learn that the whole point of mitigation skills is to prevent you getting to critical health in the first place; Not as a response to being in critical health. At that point it won't save you anyway, 20% mitigation will not stop a tankbuster killing you if you are already at 20% HP. They need to learn to use it before it hits when they are at full HP so they're HP never drops below 50%. The healer can easily top them up with an oGCD or regen then. Of course, wall-to-wall pack pulls are scarier to keep up with than any tankbuster when the tank refuses to use mitigation. The sad thing is it seems alot of tanks follow the advice of "always wall-to-wall" without employing the advice that has to go with it to play that way which is to "always be mitigating" (on trash pulls anyway).

@@MekamiEye Even better, every tank has multiple defensives, so they can cycle through them.

I was playing DRK and I didn't bother dodging an aoe that silences players during a pull because "TaNkS dOn'T hAvE sPeLls". As it turns out, most of the drk gcd's are spells. My healer and I only had moments to revel in that new discovery before they dropped like a sack of hammers. Tooltips save lives

to watch it or to make it?

Both.

As someone who has mained tank for the vast majority of his time in an MMO, I really hate that tank. The only time I get sweaty as a tank is if my HP is getting close to the one-shot zone, and even then I can probably chuck a cooldown at the problem if things get dicey. If no one is dying, contribute to damage so we can all get that sweet sweet loot faster.

No mistakes are made. No problems at all in the world Tank: Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Unless you're the healer...

@@Ailieorz no its still funny as the healer because then you control who lives and who doesn’t when they die for not doing mechanics

@@DiaRelent except now they ban you for purposefully letting people drop (yay for super strict ToS update...)

To elaborate on this more; Metroid Speedruns are so tight now that if you DON'T do this, you're going to be minutes behind a world record. And again; We're talking 1 singular pixel each time you do it, and it matters THAT much

@@steeledminer616 isn't it actually only one pixel every second shift? Like it's only during the transition from up to down but not down to up or vice versa

​@@velvetbutterfly Yes but 1 pixel 16 times is 1 whole tile. 1 whole tile 100 times is an entire screen. Over an entire run it adds up and it's literally required now if you're going for a world record due to how optimized it is.

@@steeledminer616 yes, I wasn't arguing that. It's just the "each time" specifically would be wrong

@@velvetbutterfly I mean... Each total arm pump is what I meant (From up to down to up again)...

My genius-ass slapping Scathe with no other free-casts available during the longest pull known to man: *CAN'T RELATE*

Scathe is personal preference only. It's not necessarily optimal at all times, sometimes doing nothing is fine. Plus in endgame stuff, BLMs have too much dodging to do to care to scathe.

I can't actually think of a reason to use scathe on a boss at level 80. If you're playing BLM right you should always have at least one of the following available: thundercloud proc, firestarter proc, swiftcast, triplecast, at least 1 polyglot. ALL of these are far better options for instant casts than scathe and don't even cost mana. If you're dodging so many mechanics that you don't have enough instant-casts to possible keep DPSing, it's better to just transpose to ice and Umbral Soul a few times so that you can start a full fire phase as soon as the boss chills out rather than wasting all of your MP on scathes when it does less damage than a single Fire IV.

@@Adu767 yeah legit it's only for the end of pulls where you wanna slap an enemy in the face one last time, or during a pull _iff_ you have no instacast abilities or spells on-hand. It's basically an autoattack to me.

Of course, there are far to many people that don't care to learn from their mistakes, so failure alone does not a master make. You have to be willing to learn. And then you have to learn the right lessons. And avoid learning the wrong lessons. You get stubborn enough about even any one of those factors and the failures start to look like successes to you and viceversa.

I grew up with "When we succeed, we learn one way of how to do it. When we fail, we learn many ways of how not to do it." Not quite the same, but thought I'd share regardless.

The wonderful thing about teaching is that it forces you to address your own mistakes so that you don't pass them on.

This is basically EVERY rant I've ever made to myself about bad party members. There's a couple for tanks specifically (don't run around like a jackass, keep the enemy steady for positionals) and healers (I had one 'pure healer' who also ONLY CAST MEDICA....he was just a jack ass on purpose.) but 90% of all bad players in the game would be drastically improved with JUST this knowledge and listening to it. Always press buttons, dodge AOE's, do combos, yes even the tanks and healers, learn what your buttons do.

As a Dragoon Main, always use your ogcd abilities unless its backflip

@@funnyvalentine6670 gonna be real with you, i don't think this is gonna help someone who has not yet caught onto the existence of ogcds

And you want to make sure you hit those OGCDs while the GCD clock is running, but not so late in the clock that you can't use another skill to keep the clock running until the animation finishes (like jump). Using OGCDs in between GCDs is called "weaving", having an OGCD run over and make it so you can't use your GCD for a bit is called "clipping", and if your connection is good you can "double weave" things like Blood For Blood and Battle Litany, but your animation is too long for things like Jump, which can only be a "single weave". So doing max DPS on a melee is all about how you keep your GCD running and weave your OGCDs between them without clipping. Just in case you see someone talking about that stuff and didn't know what they meant.

@@oceandark3044 can buff ogcds even clip? i mean, jump obviously can and i think i do feel bloodletter and etc. causing my gcds to buffer, but i'm not sure if it's ever happened with my buffs and i'd find it pretty odd if they did, since they get their animation canceled by _walking._ like, yeah, "animation locks" don't actually have to _lock your animation_ per se, but near i can tell clipping exists solely to limit the amount of animation canceling that goes on, which ... sure, fair enough, it can look p. dodgy, but if an animation has lower priority than basic movement yet still clips your actual combat buttons ... also feel like calling it b4b around peeps who admit to being new to the game is just gonna cause confusion, common parlance or no ( heh, par _lance_ )

@@hi-i-am-atan They actually CAN! There is a certain amount of the animation of just about every skill that will always stop you from doing pretty much everything. Now, it SHOULDN'T because they're so fast that it shouldn't be a problem. But it can happen if you, for example, try to triple weave.

@@ashaatarins9273 The reason I find Scathe so fantastic is simple: it's a finisher. It's not great for bosses, because, you know, you kill them ONCE. But in a dungeon, I can look at a monster with low health and just use scathe to snipe it and kill it on the spot. it's a simple math: my quickest spell will take at least 1.5s to cast, plus the animation end, plus travel time. Scathe is instant cast, instant hit. If I know it'll kill the monster, I'll use it instead of spending time casting Frozen or something with an AOE. Although, I do agree, if Scathe was on OGCD it'd be soooo much better.
