@JustRockIt141 Ай бұрын

One thing to note for new players, you need to keep in mind that most of the cool moves and even core mechanics are locked behind higher level (and higher means 70+) so DO NOT have over expectation early on when you are fighting like with sticks and stone or else you will be very disappointed lol.

@DrakeWurrum Ай бұрын

"Ninjas excel at attacking from behind" I would actually argue, since EVERY melee DPS has positionals for rear and flank... that this is not something Ninja is especially skilled at. As a Ninja main, I would argue that we excel at attacking from *RANGE* because most of our burst phase damage comes from ranged attacks - and then, on top of that, we can always throw daggers for filler. Whereas Reaper and Monk can only suffer in agony, Ninja can handle being out of melee range with only minor disruption to our rotation. This, combined with Shukuchi and our passive increase to movement speed, BY FAR makes us the most mobile of all the melee DPS. We are also the one melee DPS that relies heavily on *MAGIC* damage for our hardest hitting moves, not physical.

Been playing for a month now, started with Lancer hoping that I could use Dragoon to jump over parts of the level. No luck there :P It was fun enough, but I had trouble hitting all my skills on keyboard. Once I finished ARR, I switched to Red Mage, and that's where the game really came to life for me. I switched to controller, which made it mindblowingly easier to hit all my skills quickly. As a bonus, I've loved rapiers ever since I took fencing in high school 17 years ago, and using the arcane focus to turn it into a staff is unbelievably stylish. I love how mobile you are with Corps-a-Corps and Displacement (tho CaC should really be called Fleche lol) Still trying to figure out which tank and healer I want to start with to round out my role choices -- and whether or not I want to grab a different melee DPS.

@Brass319 Ай бұрын

Helpful, sure, but I feel what we need now instead of just a summary of what each one does is a guide to what playing each one entails. I deeply regret leveling astrologian to level 50 only to realize you need to pay attention to a different, smaller set of symbols, for example. Like I feel explaining sage's kardia and eukrasia should not be a priority compared to pointing out that it is essentially a more accessible version of scholar in a way because you don't have to mess around with pets or remember to aetherflow every minute and there is a lot of overlap between their kits.

I started with an Arcanist then SCH just to finish ARR and change to MCH immediately because of gun aesthetic. MCH is still my MSQ main, but I love playing healers, just SCH is not my cup of tea. I played WHM after I reached cap of level 60 free trial (back to that day), and I love WHM. After finishing EW MSQ, I started SGE, and I love SGE the most. SGE became my raid main immediately and my sub is WHM (yes, I am capable of playing both H1 and H2 positions). But the cherry on top, I played DNC as well because my friend's main are WHM and SMN, so we can play together as D3-H1 pair or D4-H2 pair (so when positioning mistakes, we don't get angry at rando).

But you really should have mentioned the best job: Blacksmith.

I had a big job crisis when I went ahead and leveled all of my jobs to 80 for the Amaro (aside from Sage, but after a little playing of it, I am half interested in leveling it, lol). I started the game as a White Mage, when I finally got to Heavensward (after leveling another character playing a tank), I switched to DRK. And that's where I stayed for a while, leveled Scholar (because summoner is convenient), Ninja/Reaper, and Dancer so I could get role quests done. Then I wanted the mount, and my struggle began. I eventually settled that I would play as Warrior... Until Dawntrail comes out, in which case I will likely play Pictomancer because that actually looks so fun stylistically. So the Job crisis is still in swing, but I imagine that's partially normal when you start digging into all classes. (Don't ask about DoH/DoL. We don't talk about DoH/DoL.)

Tanking is my game. When I started and had to choose between Paladin and Warrior, Paladin was an easy choice and after almost 3 years it is still my main job. I also love Dark Knight and Gunbreaker, but Warrior is boring due to its overpowered self-sustaining. It really needs adjustment for Dawntrail to make it more interesting again.

@stanktatiousd7732 Ай бұрын

I would have added a small disclaimer with AST and DRG that they are being reworked. As a DRG main, that is kinda scary since my partner is a SMN main and he said they lobotomized it. I’m unsure if MNK has a self damage mit but if it does then DRG is the only melee DPS without one. In rare instances when tank dies and DPS gets aggro, those mits are life saving. I’d also add that DRG’s AOE’s unlock later than other melee DPS’s making them kinda meh in 4 man dungeons up until lv 70-72 when they finally get their third AoE. I understand you’re showing the positives, it’s a fantastic class, but 4 man dungeons can be rough at low levels with a ballsy tank lol Other than my unwarranted input, this is a great video. Wish I would have seen this when I started. My partner said the same exact thing you did about choosing a starting class; go with what you like. Everything is so well-balanced that there isn’t a “superior” class. Also, BLU is the best class ever to use in roulettes and queuing for other content. They are designed solely for roulettes, MSQ, and anything else involving other classes and are NOT forced to play with only their kind like some feral beast :D

Thanks for the video! If you are okay with constructive criticism, there are 3 things I didn't really like how were presented: 1. Having only zoomed angles made some visuals not show their true beauty, especially big AoEs like LB3s. 2. The explanation of each job sounded a bit like just reading off of a script. I know this was most likely the case, but it really made me constantly think about it from the delivery (akin to how many KZfaqrs do sponsored segments - just quickly cram what is cool/important about the discussed topic and move on). 3. Somewhat related to point 2, but the moment one job explanation ended, the next immediately began, leaving no time in between and making the transition really jarring. I understand stretching the video unnecessarily is not ideal, but having 5 seconds more after/before each job won't make it too long, and it will make the engagement experience better.

@UltaFlame Ай бұрын

Paladin, monk, scholar/sage.

@xyborg4647 Ай бұрын

ffxiv is designed such that every job's predominant responsibility ends up having to do with damage output in one way or another. The goal of every healer is more or less to do as little healing as possible without causing deaths while maximizing their damage output through spending every possible gcd on damage and aligning their major dps cooldowns with raid buffs. Tanks, meanwhile, have dps-esque damage rotations with defensive cooldowns that are largely uniform in their effects, and enmity management is a functional non-mechanic (tanks get 10x enmity generation with stance on; hit something once and it's yours) in order to prioritize focus on the dps rotation. There is no job where you can prioritize support actions *over* dps without functionally playing the job wrong - Paladin's Clemency, for example, is a high-potency direct heal but it happens on the global cooldown so it's almost never worth using unless your healers are dead because it forces you to sacrifice damage to use and your healer can perform the same job much more effectively anyway. That said, the jobs that have the most varied non-dps-related utility are probably Warrior, Paladin, Sage, and Scholar. Among tanks, Warrior has a group-wide shield/heal from Shake it Off and the ability to heal other party members without a damage cost through Nascent Flash, while Paladin (despite clemency being a Bad Button) has its short-cooldown mitigation Intervention that can target other players and Cover, an unfortunately very very niche ability that lets you take damage intended for another player. For healers, Scholar or Sage win purely from the perspective that shield healers feel like you're doing more work on the utility end of things by shielding and mitigating proactively rather than healing reactively.

@anthony26812 Ай бұрын

6:58 Living Dead doesn't work like this anymore. It was reworked in Endwalker to not kill you during Living Dead. That being said, its a smidge more complicated now (its like a dual phase thing, where you hit Invuln, you take all the dmg but can't go below 1HP and then at the end of it Living Dead becomes another buff where you heal back all the DMG you took) but you don't have to make your healers cry anymore because you ate it from your own tank invuln.

I know how living dead works LOL - I just didn't specifically note the change in buff because it's unnecessary confusion for new players. You can still absolutely die under Living Dead - if your GCDs line up wrong or you don't crit, your self healing is not enough alone
