He's right. MP tick plugin was only needed in ShB because non-standard was really hard and had almost no lee-way. It's way more leniant in EW due to having 10 billion instants
You would think the mage that has instant casts every other spell would be mobile huh. Then you realize they also brought a toothpick to the fight instead of an actual weapon

Except it's less mobile than Black Mage, and also has melee uptime requirements
Black Mage has "burstier" movement than Red Mage, which is actually better for difficult content.
>MP tick plugin was only needed in ShB because non-standard was really hard and had almost no lee-way
This, except it was used for your standard lines. Getting a "lucky" mana tick and saving a use of Xeno or T3P was huge with the still somewhat limited movement in Shadowbringers.
It's wild for me to think that most people in these threads b***hing about non-standard didn't even play then.

Not needed but isn't it optimal because then you know you can skip an instant cast and save it for movement? Aren't these trannies all about "muh high IQ optimization"
The opti was greeding instants to use for higher damage "lines" and skipping ice spells instead of saving everything for movement like you will in DT. Kinda like how sch greeds energy drain if you know you won't need the heals later
He literally said he was fine with them removing MP ticks, just not tying MP recovery exclusively to b4. You morons will literally make shit up just to get mad at it.

How do people get so wrapped up in these details? I just cast fire when I have MP and ice when I don't. Can't think of the last time we failed to kill a boss.
Optimization and parsing are methods of taking the fun out of playing a video game. Meta chasing is like eating food that's been pre chewed by someone else so you can shit it out 3.7 seconds faster.
Do you play PvP at all?
Over there it's basically a 1v1 melee piledrive assassin that they won't be able to destroy without leaving a clear void, because no other class really does that aside from swiss army knife Ninja
So I ran the numbers for the media tour build, RDM is so far behind the other casters in the burst window it is actually hilarious. Yes, I know the potencies are not final. But if they are close to what they are now, RIP.
At this point, it probably should cost mana at all; it would still be a bad button to press, since you are doing less potency and failing to generate mana with it (unlike Jolt, Veraero, etc).
Game had potential, started strong, then combat became glorified cinematics, barely gets harder, and the story goes from an intriguing political narrative to this nonsensical bullshit where we end up killing god.
Literal disappointment.

There's been a massive uptick in ESLs trying to deboonk completely coherent english posts this year, it's really weird
I've called them out before just to get canned "brown" responses in turn, when as a white man I'm picturing ethnic continentals who are genuinely ESL, no browns involved
I dunno if it's ESLs trying to fit in or a new barryverse tactic to derail discussion. There's always some guy in xiv threads there's that responds to gameplay arguments by calling the poster Pablo or something. It's strange
I think there are more and more illiterate first-worlders/anglosphere people lately, compounding the problem. I see Americans and even some Brits spelling queue as 'que'.
That is definitely a problem too, hate to call it anti-intellectualism when it's just speaking your own language but you do get these c**ts who take pride in saying everything wrong
>there are people STILL trying to pretend this dress up homosexual game is a hardcore competitive RPG
WoW is dead, you queers don't need to pretend you're anything but a homosexual circlejerk anymore. The ""gameplay""" has always been a joke.
It wouldn't be so bad if other jobs had the same level of flexibility or optimisation, but it's just BLM. I think it's fair for people to be upset to lose another playstyle and have nothing to replace it with.
I don't mind that dudes were playing around with it and succeeding. However, they should frick off if they imagine SE will cater to this unintended coincidence of a playstyle. All it would do is make both worse. Nonstandard gays don't matter.
It existed in ShB too but it was much more of a niche spreadsheet parser thing. In Endwalker there were a lot more non-standard lines and they were much easier to do without plugins, even in casual gameplay instead of just perfectly spreadsheeted savage/ult.
I’ve been on Odin (which is on Light, I think?) and I’ve seen maybe four blatant coomers and one player who claimed to be FtM in their search info and I people-watch in Limsa as a hobby.
>umbral soul now available at level 54/68, allowing for MP recovery during downtime or between trash pulls at an earlier level >ice paradox revived, now restores a set amount of MP regardless of current stacks of umbral ice (fire paradox cast increased back to 2.5s to compensate) >astral soul now persists when swapping between elements, flare star can now be executed at 3 astral souls and potency increases with each additional soul >initial hit of thunder increased, dot potency reduced
these seem like pretty common sense changes to appease casuals and hardcore blms alike, it'd be a shame if they left the new abilities as is on release.
You will never see anything like this in WoW unless you go to one of the unofficial dedicated LGHDTV servers. In FFXIV you'll see shit like this the second your character can see other players.
>You will never see anything like this in WoW
You know.. except for when you go to a city, or Goldshire, or read a single quest text, or read world quest text, or pay any attention to the story, or the trading post, or anything at all.
But yeah, other than that, you're totally right.
Jobs are made in mind for savage/ultimate so who gives a frick about balance about dungeons and other content. Also dungeons are made in mind to clear with a role missing so this brings the real question, do these people actually play the game?
I main scholar so I can just switch to summoner when playing healer is ass. It's pretty pathetic how miserable the experience of playing as a pure healer is when leveling though, if they want people to be leveling through the MSQ as shit like white mage and AST so there's actually healers available for leveling dungeons and the initial trials, they need to make playing them not feel like pulling teeth or put you asleep. More than a single fricking damage button to at least let them have the illusion of gameplay would be nice
leveling dungeons on release of an expansion are usually fine and decently intense to heal. ilvl increases and max level dungeons are where it becomes boring and you feel pointless.
they forget. they do this each expansion healers will b***h they have to heal dungeons ask for more dps then do dps when they need to heal. Did people forget the second tier of raids in EW?
QUESTING as a healer is fricking miserable, and is the vast majority of time spent leveling through MSQ. The couple leveling dungeons are "fine", but it's not worth the awful experience of actually leveling as a healer, and unlike other games you can't simply switch specs between open world questing and dungeons on the same class (with the sole exception of Summoner/Scholar who still need an entirely separate set of gear and weapon and merely share experience)
What do you mean questing? Side quests or FATES? Or doing the MSQ?
Because the MSQ is running around talking to people, interacting with thing, kill three mobs that spawn in purple smoke, and occasional single player duties. That's barebones gameplay for every role.
If you're doing sidequests or FATEs to level you should be doing those on DPS jobs. Healers can just spam dungeons with short queues and level and gear that way in an expansion.
Tbh when I saw this cuck shit I just queued as healer for the instant queues to any content. Trying to catch up to DT and healer is piss easy since I don't even have to do anything.
You can't post shit like this on the forums and be a gray parsing scholar
People are obviously going to look
I'm not a parsegay and wouldn't care if these numbers weren't THIS awful

Revisionist history, nobody was happy about what they did to SMN except for morons like (You)
Because it'd cause a huge chunk of their population to quit and they probably use it themselves for balancing purposes. That and it serves them no monetary benefit to shut it down it only hurts them.
I have friends too and I am pretty glad for it as well. Anything is better than interacting with this toxic ass community that things the current state of jobs is fine. Would do anything to kill that website as well as the raiding scene.
Yes, but only because I already quit healing half way through Endwalker when I fully realised just how dire the situation is. These guys are delusional if they think CS3 will actually fix healing, but good on them for bringing attention to the issue.

Meanwhile, look at Alphinauld's family mansion in Sharlemald. They have servants they pay to just stand there in a suit all day just in case you want them to fetch you something. Totally different worlds.
Alphinauld is like an incel paying for lessons on "how to pull" from like a 10/10 Chad guy.
>WHM
What the frick is wrong with these degenerates? They always start spamming holy whenever I use TBN. They always do their damn hardest to have me not die whenever I press Living Dead. And to top it all off, they always, with perfect precision, cast aquaveil on me whenever a tankbuster appears. What the frick is going on here? Plugins at it again?
>playing DRK
That’s were you fricked up and should just wait 10 seconds after the stun ended
They're always 10 seconds behind me when I pull, by the time they arrive I already started mashing, have a defensive and TBN up.
Also, DRK is the only tank I enjoy playing since it's the only one where if I frick up I die.
you have to adjust your strategy to your groups individual skill
i start of with a wall to wall to see what the healer is capable off and then adjust according to what is lacking from their part
regardless of how the run goes this way it's still a quick run
>always 10 seconds behind me
Sounds like bullshit and just don’t use TBD, use ANY of your other cool downs like arm’s length. I legitimately never get to use that anymore as a pld because most stuff dead before I use other stuff
Why are you popping TBN right away if you have a WHM? Their aoe damage and stun results in you taking no damage, use your cds after their stun resistance goes away.
>They always start spamming holy whenever I use TBN
Let me spell it out for you dumbass one trick. Them glaring for the first 10 seconds is more damage than one flood from you. So just don't tbn so you don't lose your flood.
I guess /statusoff everything isn’t a joke. healers are fricking dumb and only played by passive aggressive homosexuals. I really don’t know what we expect from them
Use Sprint and plunge to get ahead of the WHM, hit TBN as soon as you hit the terminal pack. It takes like 5 seconds for the WHM to cast holy and for it get actually explode, which means you get your first TBN popped. Use the aoe Drain ability between the second and third holy, and now TBN is ready again after the third stun wears off. Startyour whole mit rotation at this point…. Whm and DRK are probably the best combo for slaughtering trash packs.
Also I’d just save Living dead in roulettes, it’s the only way you can solo the boss if the healer dies.
If the healer dies it's faster to just party wipe and start over, they may do the lowest dps but I can't stand people who sit there wasting time trying to solo a boss unless it's nearly dead obviously. And invulns are way too powerful as mitigation to just let set there for a "what-if"
nope, sorry. If you died to a random dungeon boss and you are not a sprout or first-timer or the dungeon is out for more than 1 week, I will assume you weren't paying attention or are low-IQ monkey who were about to waste my time. I will solo the boss, I did that many times as either mnk or drk, done it once as gnb and I will do it again. YOU WILL WATCH ME SOLO THE BOSS FROM OUTSIDE THE ARENA NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES!
Don't use DRK in dungeons moron, the job has ZERO sustain, its literally only meant to be played in extreme 8-man content or harder. Play WAR like everyone else, jackass.
You're wasting your fricking cds dumbass, whm stun is the most powerful mitigation in the game for trash mobs since you take literally no damage for several seconds
>3 motifs >one cycles through motifs in the exact same order every time >another is called “weapon motif” but you only draw a hammer with it >another is called landscape motif, implying many different sorts of raid buffs but theres only one kind of landscape you draw
Why is this drk seething about tbn when it's at best dps neutral, you can you can just flood for free since the whm is taking care of like 7s of mitigation for you. I love whm in dungeons on drk.
Why do people think Sage isn't going to keep single target multi-dotting? It's literally their one big new thing, I doubt that it was something they didn't forsee people using to multidot single target, SGE isn't busy enough that it is problematic.
I'm somebody that played BLM since ARR and I think that nonstandard was legitimately a mistake. For most of BLM's lifespan, optimization was all about prepositioning, placing instants at the correct times, slidecasting, all that good stuff in order to get full uptime. It never really was about complex rotations. I don't think BLM should ever have to be about memorizing odd quirks off rotations in order to do more F4s in a fight. Also, this MP tick bullshit was literally a legacy ARR issue. You couldn't do Blizzard 3, Thunder 2, Fire 3 consistently and get full mp without waiting out the tick, and a lot of people would opt to do Thunder 1, Blizzard 1 every other umbral phase to compensate if they didn't have the MP tick timing down. Most people I knew fricking hated it, and every expansion seems to have some quirk deriving from mp ticks being wonky.
You don't have to memorize an entire excel sheet worth of different rotations in order to do non-standard. It's literally just pop transpose if you have extra resources to burn after a Fire phase.
Yeah it really wasn't that hard to understand, and the most DPS increasing ones were easy to understand and use. I swear all those stupid "lines" were just self fellating "look how high IQ my job and I are" garbage.
I agree with this, and I want to add that from a game design standpoint it's moronic that the playstyle you can intuit from the in-game tooltips is not the optimal one
The thing with the nonstandard lines is that the entire thing has taken on a life of its own. They've existed for one expansion (ShB nonstandard was an entirely different beast, not really comparable in utility or applicability), but for some reason there are a lot of people who have build their entire personality around using them, many of whom, by their own admission, started in ShB or EW.
As an ARR BLM like you, it was just another instance of jank in the long list of jank that BLM had over the various expansions to me. Fun to play around with for a while, but certainly not core to the job's identity.
I honestly hope that these changes chase these people away from my job and it can go back to being a comfy niche job about movement optimization autism like it used to be, rather than the designated go-to job for obsessive parsebrains. I feel sorry for all future PCT mains though, it seems a lot of them will migrate to it instead and continue to be insufferable there.
The tick bullshit made playing fast at lower levels horrendous. You'd barely gain anything from stacking SpS because then you'd be stuck waiting for the tick. I can see ice paradox being a patch for it and so getting removed once it got changed.
I'll always have a soft spot for HW BLM because the incredible rush of just casually casting Fire IVs which were as powerful as other jobs' signature long cooldown abilities, provided you could keep up Enochian, was incredible. But like with most HW jobs, I recognize that some of the streamlining in SB was probably for the best, and having to hardcast Foul still made for some great nailbiting moments when rotational drift made it slot into your Fire phase.
Xenoglossy was the real mistake, and we can never go back to pre-ShB BLM levels of hardcast autism, but I kinda hope that the effectively enforced 6 Fire IVs and the effectively slightly tighter second half of the AF phase, with Paradox now being instant, will at least manage to give me nostalgia for that rush.
Yes, but you'll want to save that F3 proc for switching back to AF from UI after using Transpose, same as you do now, as it results in slightly more damage. So you'll always have that recovery option if you need it, but the fun will come from seeing if you can get away with not using it with proper planning.

Oh right, since the new thunder is instant now it can be used in umbral for that purpose to weave transpose.
>I kinda hope that the effectively enforced 6 Fire IVs and the effectively slightly tighter second half of the AF phase, with Paradox now being instant
I don't think the Paradox change really makes much of a difference, and overall it just makes things easier.
Okay so 3x3 is now a bad idea, so what? Don't do it, go for 4 or 5 (or 6 under leylines?) Fire 4s before Paradox instead if you have time, or just slam Paradox into Triples and Swifts for endless movement since you don't even have to have an instant ready before using Swift/Triple. You don't even have to worry about Paradox eating your Triple stack since it's instant.
I've heard that people that have had a chance to test the expansion in its current pre-release state weren't even using a single healer for dungeon runs which strikes me as concerning. I don't think making a role so utterly worthless outside of raids is good game design in the slightest, especially given the effectively 1 button DPS rotation that healers have.
it’s not great design but 90% of healers are trying to advocate for becoming a shit damage dealer instead of a healer. frick healers and their moronic strike
I never understood this shit. I started as a CNJ/WHM to HEAL, not act as a green DPS. That being said, I enjoy burning out everyone's retinas with Holy spam on every pull (at least the people that didn't bother disabling spell effects on other players).
I read some of the healer strike thread and the #1 thing they want is for dungeons/trials to do more damage, and for warrior sustain to be nerfed so they have to heal. The few calling for more dps are saying "if you won't let me heal then at least give me something to do."
It proves they aren’t necessary for sure. If you don’t consider that a problem then its pretty clear you just want your role to be easy peasy homosexual and no amount of accusing people of things you know nothing about yourself is going to change that. I recommend suicide.

You and the other disingenous homosexuals haven’t provided a single argument other than savage and ultimate are the only content that matters and healers being unnecessary in things like dungeons isn’t a problem. Then when face with the utter humiliation that is being able to clear an ultimate on the same patch it was released on without healers you try to ride on the whole “healers are necessary for prog” shit when it only took a few months to figure out. Disingenous is the entire basis of your fricking argument, please die.

It seems you are unable to read since its pretty clear they are running 2 plds and a war with the rest being dps, specifically summoner and dnc for very obvious reasons.
Why? They have the % completion of unreal content. It’s extremely low. Pandering to compgays (for MMOs this would be raidtrannies) is literally how ever game regardless of genre dies
Maybe if tanks couldn’t solo heal casual content this wouldn’t be a problem. Wouldn’t be so difficult to implement aoe damage that comes more often than every 1 minute.

if healers are worthless, why do they get so many comms?
No one wants the jobs to become something they've never been. They just want tasks to do so they aren't just hitting one button for 90% of their casts. Either require healing more and use of all your tools in all content or give them something more to do than press one dps button.
In SB/HW era healers didn't heal less because they had more dps buttons, they healed as much as they needed to which was primarily OGCD healing because the damage output in the game is low and predictable in the majority of content and this is true today outside of a few of the most recent savage and ultimate fights. But the time they spent not healing there were a bigger variety of things to do whether that be the more involved cards of Astro or the multiple damage abilities of Scholar. WHM was the only healer who's non-healing capability was really just spamming one DPS button but even they had multiple dots and cleric stance at one point.
A common misunderstanding people seem to express about healer changes is that reducing DPS button and adding more and more to healing kit means that healers will heal more. And the game largely is not designed that way, the added healing tools just mean even more of your GCDs can will just be spent on your nuke. People cite the hard hitting attacks and bleeds in the recent savage encounters but even those are handled largely by prepared ogcds and a *few* gcd healing maybe. You never spend "most" of your time healing as a healer in any content in XIV.
Its just warrior, the only other tank that could deal with no healers in dungeons is PLD but it would be iffy because they have a long CD on hallowed. The real problem comes in bosses were war has an easier time sustaining the team with nascent and shake, PLD can make do with intervene clemency and veil but they have to sacrifice damage to do clemency. the other tanks wouldn't be able to keep a party alive. This is such a non issue because 1 warr 3 dps could be done in SHB with nascent flash and even further in HW/SB 1 drk 3 dps was also possible. Healers don't know what the frick they want because there were several healing intensive fights and an entire tier that needed a lot of healing they b***hed and cried when they got it.
You can easily do it without a healer on war, gnb, pld, remember without a healer you get a 3rd dps so the damage is much higher and tanks having way more than enough mitigation to survive and bosses are a joke
It depends on the dungeon. Experts can be done all because they aren’t synched. GNB can’t do Dead Ends, etc without a healer, much less crap like vanaspati synched.
I kept 3 noobs alive in Theia alliance raid on PLD when all the healers went down. keeping other people alive on paladin is very easy to do, probably more so than warrior. you get 1k mp back with every 1-2 combo. you are right it sacrifices damage but I think the only drawback compared to warrior is that paladin has to sacrifice their own healing to do so. the mp you would use to heal yourself with clemency or blade combo is gone. I think war is far more selfish in this regard
>muh casuals >muh savage troons
I am so sick of it. I don't feel either camp is happy with the current job design. The only people being happy about the state of Jobs are the fricking devs, because its not only easier to make your precious DDR fights when everyone is basically the same, it is also way easier to make new shit.

RDM WAS ALREADY MORE DIFFICULT TO OPTIMIZE IN EW RAIDS THAN BLACK MAGE...............................
ALL THESE BLACK MAGE E-CELEBS IGNORED RED MAGE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO, EVEN THOUGH DAWNTRAIL MADE RED MAGE EVEN *MORE* COMPLEX TO OPTIMIZE WHILE SIMPLIFYING BLACK MAGE
EAT SHIT EAT SHIT EAT SHIT EAT SHIT
>EVEN THOUGH DAWNTRAIL MADE RED MAGE EVEN *MORE* COMPLEX TO OPTIMIZE
The Acceleration changes are a fricking nightmare to think about. It forces you to misalign your Fleche with the 2nd instant cast, and you can only delay that as long as you have procs up.
Not all jobs require the same level of optimization. RDM was already more difficult to optimize in EW and the gap only got worse. It was sickening listening to all these "hardcore Black Mage e-celebs" do interviews and videos and always say "I don't know anything about Red Mage."
And you got barely any payoff for running RDM in an optimized setting. The community just got smaller and smaller through the expansion as more RDM mains picked up the staff because it had so many options and paid with god damage.
I like how all the optimization gays hate on healers for asking for more of it but get mad when it affects their jobs. I don’t care for the perfect legend gays that say you don’t play the game since they are all healers and you don’t need healers for ultimate.
I want healers to heal, not dps. I don’t want aoe heals on my tank class and I certainly don’t want them on my dps. I want to know that when I start tanking a boss my healer is there because he wants to keep me alive, not spam glare while he’s watching netflix to get some fricking tomestones for a manderville weapon
It is funny that he ends the video saying he knows people are mocking BLMs for being upset over losing flexibility and options because every other job has also had that done to them but then just doesn't explain why BLM should be the only job that has flexibility and options.
These people are so high on their own farts and don't realize that shit like Black Mage being more flexible than Red Mage with way higher damage should not be a thing at all
Well optimally other jobs would be more flexible too, but you are just a salty little b***h if you are happy that the last bit of optimization was removed.
>but you are just a salty little b***h if you are happy that the last bit of optimization was removed.

More that Black Mages players thought they were untouchable and were very loud about that, because they said for years they were the "chosen" job role of the Director/ Producer. Now they got a taste of what so many of us have had to endure and they don't like it.
You want me to give a shit about BLM players? Where was the outrage when they fricked my Gunbreaker? My Warrior? My Paladin?
This. Everyone called MNK players deranged for liking TK rotation and laughed when we lost it. I'm not shedding a tear for anything that happens to other jobs in a similar vein.
>still doesn't explain why BLM should be the only job that has such extreme optimization to significantly outperform other jobs beyond it's intended level.
You people can never actually mount a defense of it
The Miqo'te contender is the real big bad and is rusing Thancred and Urianger.
The Mamool Ja contender is bad but will ultimately sacrifice himself for his siblings.
Erenville is the unwilling 4th heir but will get the throne in the end. We're stuck with Wuk Lamat and her voice actor forever.
Reminder that BLM WILL get fixed. Eksu has JP raiders backing him up because Yoshida only listens to JP. Yoshida is terrified of any bit of XIV being portrayed negatively, plus his head is on the line at SE. If his godly PR can't please fans, then SE has no use for him. He has to please everyone, he has no choice, therefore BLM will get fixed. Doomers lost.
>JP raiders backing him up
You mean the people that had there TOP clear removed and told to throw away their weapons because of Zoom hack. You people really are delusional, but go on I'm enjoying this all play out as an observer.
It's an example that JP raiders and their opinion don't mean dick to Yoshida and the dev team. So name dropping that an eceleb gay has them backing him up, so what?
>JP raiders and their opinion don't mean dick to Yoshida and the dev team
The only reason UNNAMED was canceled because the Japanese community went apeshit. No one gave a shit about any of the previous world first teams using 3rd party tools, but it was a shameful display when their guys did it too.
It was a dev who leaked that UNNAMED were using Zoomhack, it was the devs and Yoshida who decided to remove their clear not JP raiders.

Do you what Yoshida hates more than anything else
Third party tools
Hell will freeze over before he allows any hint of MP tick frickery to come back into his game
Reminder this is the man who said Microsoft Excel is a third party tool
If he hated them so much we'd have anti-cheat or the rules would be enforced for any slight. When I started, I was told by friends to never mention parsing unless iy was with people I trusted. These days people talk about parses and gameplay add-ons without a care in the world in-game. I keep telling people Yoshida doesn't care because the only serious act of rule enforcing he ever did was the TOP WF cheaters, and he probably wouldn't have cared if it didn't make the news in JP.
Its literally illegal for them to add anti-cheap according to nip laws. You can be sure it will be there day 1 if he has anything to do with the next ff mmo in a decade or so though.
i think healers are fine
but I worry that shields are becoming too strong (it already is too strong)
the game needs more mechanics that require reactive hard heals rather than flat damage that you can prepare for with a shield
Tankbros, don't worry about healing. Even if healbawd fails you, MNKbro is here with Mantra and the upgraded Earth's Reply (Cure Potency: 300 or 500 if buffed)
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! CURSE YOU YOSHIDA!!!!!!!!!
They do though? After the mentor crown, an ult weapon is the biggest sign of a shitter there is. Clearly you don't play the game if you aren't constantly seeing paypal legends eating shit in casual content.
But they do? There's almost 1 million uwu clears and about 800k TEA clears. People talk shit about ucob because of all the challenge runs but it still sits at around 500k clears because the people doing sId challenge runs are the same sort who try to one-healer or no-healer TOP and TEA.
Preach loves rpgs and grew up with them, most WoW streamers only played WoW growing up and dont really care about rpgs so much as the hamster wheel like a gacha gay. So in XIV where the gear really doesn't matter compared to not standing in shit like a dumbass they got chrono triggered.
Nord is working class English born and bred. He's still no where near perfect, he's very much got a blind side to political ideology within games, but he's a damn sight better than a lot of other people around.
That's probably a lot of it, that and he's older, has a wife and family, and employees who work for him. I don't know I think his upbringing is probably a lot to do with it, a Manc English lad.
I have literally never raided in this game and have no desire to play past EW's final week while also going back to single player games.
What am i in for?

It's a buffsissy job. It buffs the morale of all the REAL DPS by spitshining their poles and squealing impotently about "I AM A REAL DPS I AM A REAL DPS I AM A REAL DPS."
You don't understand. It takes some next level autism to learn and play non standard BLM rotation. Imagine, you decide to open a 100 pages google doc to learn it (for absolutely no reason). It really makes me laugh, most of the BLM are tards that needs to be babysitted by most of the group, because "muh gameplay"

The funny thing is that they didn't really make black mage any easier, there's still plenty of ways to fail and plenty of noob traps. I really hate the design where you can only fail, and the best you can aim for is be average and then just get lucky with crits.
>Dawntrail advertises a brand new adventure, untethered by previous ten years of plot >ask if it's new adventure or ascian shardslop >"its a good adventure, sir" >look inside >it's ascian shardslop
Since EW, I am frequently reminded of that bit of dialogue in the third PotC movie. >"the world used to be a bigger place" >"the world's still the same, there's just less in it"
I genuinely don't care if it's Ascian/Ancient shit because it's rarely one-note.
Emet-Selch, Lahabrea and Elidibus had their own intentions, while Fandaniel did something else for different reasons entirely.
The Ascians work well because they can be greater overarching schemers with their own motivations that set things in motion. It's not all necessarily, "Oh, so it's an Ascian, so you'll end up doing things in Ascianland with Ascian visuals and identical motives and driving forces."
It’s a plug-in that lets you do a lot of cheaty things, but what im interested in his being able to queue macros, so for example I can weave ogcds as mouse over without changing targets.
Yes anon, the issue is that macro won’t queue. So you have to hit precisely during the cooldown of your gcd, while doing 2 target switches will let you queue the ogcd
All these Black folk claim to want harder jobs and fights and whine about how easy the game is then when you ask them to show their plug-ins and they're always cheating up the ass it's hilarious
Or they have someone literally state what to do next.
Barely anybody resolves higher end mechanics on their own in this game. They cheat, or they get coached, or both.
I play with controller on xbox in the US southwest. I don’t think I could be at a greater disadvantage. they need to let me zoom my camera out a bit farther and I would be ok
Aside from the MP tick add-on, did BLM use any other plug-ins? That seems less egregious than having auto-combos and whatever the less complex jobs use.
Cactbot definitely or they had someone call out every mechanic like that anon said when 99% of the difficulty for BLM was meant to be positioning and knowing mechanics
Party finder that works between DC when? Sometimes I may want to gather or use my retainer whilst being on another DC waiting for PF to fill but I’m not allowed.
Yoshida was asked and said it they were to work ok it, it would take until 8.X. Which I find funny because the length it takes for these has never been a factor, people just want them in, so the way he worked makes me think he doesn't want to do it even if it's possible

They aren't going to change the core mechanic of Red Mage. Yoship said they want jobs to feel more unique and casters already accomplish this; every caster feels unique.
They changed the core of SMN, changed the foundation of MCH, neutered the MP management and self sustain of DRK, simplified MNK, started stripping positionals out of everything, stripped time magic out of AST, removed SECTS out of AST, removed RNG out of AST, and are now fricking with BLM MP management loops.
I dont' think they will either because RDM has never been as dificult of a job for them to design for but SMN playstyle was completely deleted. They can and do delete unique job mechanics with aplomb
>core mechanic of Red Mage
They actually fricked with it's rotation a ton going from SB to ShB to EW despite the core being "build mana and then melee". It's like they only look at the superficial, basic playstyle and don't think about how adding new skills or changing existing ones
In general I think it only improved over time. It became less proc / RNG reliant, and also became more flexible for movement. There were just two problems >every else got even better movement >they leave the damage way too low for what is arguably the hardest caster to optimize, due to "rez tax"

It should be impossible outside of powercreeping in later expansions.
you also have to understand that this is because damage in TOP is badly designed, if something won't outright kill you it will just do a lot of damage, the issues come from endwalker raid design but the same thing doesn't apply to DSR and/or any other ult
You are conveniently ignoring the fact P6 was only possible because of FOUR TANK LIMIT BREAKS. The heal check is there, it just happens to be in the phase with free LB refills which is what allowed the unconventional solution.
There should be no amount of planning that allows you to clear an ultimate ON-PATCH without healers. It should be the most healing intense content in the whole game. It should be amazing to solo-heal it and impossible to no-healer it.
>high ping >skills missing from hotbars >hotkeys not bound >dps standing in mechanics
It shouldn't even be possible to clear with all those issues, let alone easily in an unfamiliar dungeon. What would a healer really contribute to the duty?
Dungeon design is shit, and warrior healing needs a nerf.
>IT'S THE CASUALS!!! IT'S THE LIMSA-ITES! CASUALS ARE RUINING MUH FURKIN GAEM AND DESTROYING MUH JOBS

They weren't able to completely sustain themselves indefinitely without outside assistance while tanking wall to wall.
They said self-healing not overpowered self-sustain, having healing on a tank is useful so the healer wouldn't need to to waste all their time curing a tank but it's gone a bit too far obviously
The funny thing about these forced dramatics is that you know 99.9% of people clearing Ultimates will never do it without healers.
And it gets even funnier because 90% of people will never clear those Ultimates at all, let alone without any healers.
Woman brain reigns in these threads.
The BLM thing is gonna be the SMN situation all over again isnt it? >All the existing expert BLM chuds hate it >But the masses love it and now way more people actually play it
That's actually really bad and I don't even like Black Mage.
Currently Red Mage stands alone as the only job still holding on to some remnant of good Stormblood job design.
>good Stormblood job design
That was 3 expansions ago and the game has changed. RDM will be altered next expansion as well. One caster per cycle, as ordained.
BLM is objectively being made easier to play and harder to mess up. Its pointless to say that the messing up will be worse on your dps because it'll practically never happen now, unlike before.
The situation is totally different. BLM got some hyper-autistic optimization shit pruned and has become even more punishing if you frick yo, SMN got turned into a one button job. BLM will continue to remain one of the biggest casual filters in the game along with MNK.
You have never touched BLM. Instant Paradox doesn't mean shit, the Thunder change doesn't mean shit and is in fact an actual noob trap. Meanwhile dropping a single F4 now completely fricks you out of your shiny new spell.
What I mean is that you have no idea how casuals operate. For you and me, dropping AF is impossible in DT (not that it wasn't before). A casual will hardcast one F4, try to start a second, panic because they get an AOE marker, run around, restart the cast, panic again because they forgot their thunder proc, use the thunder proc, and bam, AF gone.
You cannot fathom how deep the casual rabbit hole goes. I have no doubt that more people wil try out BLM in DT, sure. But it will never reach anywhere near current SMN numbers. SMN operates in a whole different sphere of casualization, SGE will have a more difficult rotation than SMN in DT if it gets to keep its second dot

I don't mind him, he's alright he knows his lane. He's a casual player, a story enjoyer and he knows that's what he likes. It's fine, not everyone has to cover raid and job design you can cover other stuff too.
Does Ben have any personality besides hovering around the FF14 fandom for crumbs of attention now that 16 came and went? He's already giving me Hayter vibes.

Nice job design.
They only balance for savage anon and they do a shitty job of that even, warrior isn't even the best defensively in savage and its dps is healer tier, or at least it was when I was playing
>Eksu Plosion >Lala >BLM tard >MP tick plugin >PARSING
Yikes. Sounds like a sweaty neckbeard. I don't even know what is being changed, but if this kind of person is crying about it, I think I'll love it and it's probably a good change.
>Yoshida told Xeems they can easily implement Unreal sync to savage, ex, and even dungeons >they just...choose not to despite everyone complaining how pointless and powercrept old content feels
I'm truly baffled by this one.
Why? They have the % completion of unreal content. It’s extremely low. Pandering to compgays (for MMOs this would be raidtrannies) is literally how ever game regardless of genre dies
>add content >don't add rewards or any incentive to actually do that content >act surprised when people don't do that content
This is a fricking MMO, you need to give people a carrot or they're not gonna do shit.
A bit of challenge is fun, its not like dungeons or EX become this turbo metaprostitute territory, its about not sleepwalking through any content below fourth floor of Savage.
it's over... e-celeb said so... how do we cope?
please link another youtube video of a different e-celeb saying that it's not over... I can't cope...grim...
Will Yoshida be able to pull out another redemption arc? Like it or not the end of Shadowbringers and start of Endwalker were the golden age when everybody was happy and lots of people were playing the game. Look at us now...
Tanks feel extremely overpowered at this point kek like everyone assumed last time they added all those ridiculous cds that the damage would increase proportional to compensate but it wasn't even close. And now you can do shit like have perma reprisal and the cds are even crazier.
I was hoping them adding sustain to our core rotation meant dungeon pulls would be insane and I would have to help my party in staying alive. Shit changed absolutely nothing and I dont even bother popping more than 2 CDs.
Couple of months back, he wrote out a long twatter chain seething about people telling him to cheer up and smile more. I'm not going through his feed to find it but if you want to look for yourself that's where you'll find it.
newbie here, so what y'all are saying is that I can get a party with 1 tank and 3 dps then press the unsync thing and queue the highest level dungeon and still get full XP? I was under the impression that you don't get XP if you unsync.
>not remotely equivalent
Wdym, the only content you had was the current tier of savage and the ultimates, everything else was fricked. Even the extremes sucked ass, the last good one was barbs and that was a long while ago.
100% one is the ff9 remake in ff16's game engine, considering it's Sakaguchi's favourite FF game, that there are hints upon hints of FF9 with the Zidane, Garnet minions and ark Mount and Sakaguchi's close friendship with Yoshida, I would bet money on one of them being FF9.
I don't think EW was disastrous, but there's no denying that some corners were cut. Same with Shadowbringers, tbf, just different corners. And it's not weird to presume 16 was a big culprit.
With two games occupying their already tiny team on top of XIV, I feel like dark times are ahead. I'm not dooming or a doomer, but I am fearful. If I'm right, then Dawntrail might be the last time we get as much content as we're getting, before CS3 starts focusing full-time on those two other games.

>STOP SAYING 6.s BLM REQUIRED MP TICK PLUGINS. I'M NOT OWNED I'M NOT OWNED
He's right. MP tick plugin was only needed in ShB because non-standard was really hard and had almost no lee-way. It's way more leniant in EW due to having 10 billion instants
>needing computer assistance to play a job in an mmo
embarassing
>having 10 billion instants
>BLMs think hey should have this and have them freely available to use whenever they want with no penalty.
I hope all of them quit the game.
Have you seen TOP? The job wouldn't even be able to play half of the phases with how much running around the fight has
Did you see TOP prog? There were SMNs and BLMs, but there were almost zero RDMs.
>RDMs
Because it does no damage and the raise is useless because mechs in ulti just instantly wipe everyone
You would think the mage that has instant casts every other spell would be mobile huh. Then you realize they also brought a toothpick to the fight instead of an actual weapon
>You would think the mage that has instant casts every other spell would be mobile huh.
Except it's less mobile than Black Mage, and also has melee uptime requirements
Black Mage has "burstier" movement than Red Mage, which is actually better for difficult content.
>MP tick plugin was only needed in ShB because non-standard was really hard and had almost no lee-way
This, except it was used for your standard lines. Getting a "lucky" mana tick and saving a use of Xeno or T3P was huge with the still somewhat limited movement in Shadowbringers.
It's wild for me to think that most people in these threads b***hing about non-standard didn't even play then.
Not needed but isn't it optimal because then you know you can skip an instant cast and save it for movement? Aren't these trannies all about "muh high IQ optimization"
The opti was greeding instants to use for higher damage "lines" and skipping ice spells instead of saving everything for movement like you will in DT. Kinda like how sch greeds energy drain if you know you won't need the heals later
>saving everything for movement
Not entirely true. The very best BLMs will save their Xenos for the burst window for faster KTs
I know. I was trying to simplify it for someone that doesn't play the job or just doesn't know what non-standard is
Fair enough.
>mp tick plugin
The what now?
He literally said he was fine with them removing MP ticks, just not tying MP recovery exclusively to b4. You morons will literally make shit up just to get mad at it.
you VILL cast ze ice
How do people get so wrapped up in these details? I just cast fire when I have MP and ice when I don't. Can't think of the last time we failed to kill a boss.
Optimisation is fun, and when you're progging a raid you have a lot of time to think about and practice optimisations.
Optimization and parsing are methods of taking the fun out of playing a video game. Meta chasing is like eating food that's been pre chewed by someone else so you can shit it out 3.7 seconds faster.
What we rolling for DT brehs?
My heart says Lord but my brain remembers getting fur mogged by the Squall costume reward
I've always played monk. If the changes are shit I'll just int some PF groups on BLM and go play something else after the story
Do you play PvP at all?
Over there it's basically a 1v1 melee piledrive assassin that they won't be able to destroy without leaving a clear void, because no other class really does that aside from swiss army knife Ninja
RDM, the new impact looks cool (but losing gauge management for manafication sucks).
So I ran the numbers for the media tour build, RDM is so far behind the other casters in the burst window it is actually hilarious. Yes, I know the potencies are not final. But if they are close to what they are now, RIP.
>nooooo I have bad numbers in a not realistic simulation
kys people like you are one of the main problems
I don't understand why they won't just fricking buff reprise, it's basically a dead button.
Changing its recast from 2.2s to 2.5s was actually braindead on their part.
It's funny they didn't even bother to change it's Mana cost to compensate for the reduced combo costs too.
At this point, it probably should cost mana at all; it would still be a bad button to press, since you are doing less potency and failing to generate mana with it (unlike Jolt, Veraero, etc).

I've called them out before just to get canned "brown" responses in turn, when as a white man I'm picturing ethnic continentals who are genuinely ESL, no browns involved
I dunno if it's ESLs trying to fit in or a new barryverse tactic to derail discussion. There's always some guy in xiv threads there's that responds to gameplay arguments by calling the poster Pablo or something. It's strange
I think there are more and more illiterate first-worlders/anglosphere people lately, compounding the problem. I see Americans and even some Brits spelling queue as 'que'.
That is definitely a problem too, hate to call it anti-intellectualism when it's just speaking your own language but you do get these c**ts who take pride in saying everything wrong

Why? Seems nice that the high IQ mage job can have stuff to optimise.
It wouldn't be so bad if other jobs had the same level of flexibility or optimisation, but it's just BLM. I think it's fair for people to be upset to lose another playstyle and have nothing to replace it with.
I don't mind that dudes were playing around with it and succeeding. However, they should frick off if they imagine SE will cater to this unintended coincidence of a playstyle. All it would do is make both worse. Nonstandard gays don't matter.

Did nonstandard only exist in EW?
It existed in ShB too but it was much more of a niche spreadsheet parser thing. In Endwalker there were a lot more non-standard lines and they were much easier to do without plugins, even in casual gameplay instead of just perfectly spreadsheeted savage/ult.

>"yas queen remove the stances from the game"
>"i want to be a dps sicko mode healer"
>"wtf the game sucks now"
You get what you fricking deserve.
Jobs are made in mind for savage/ultimate so who gives a frick about balance about dungeons and other content. Also dungeons are made in mind to clear with a role missing so this brings the real question, do these people actually play the game?
I main scholar so I can just switch to summoner when playing healer is ass. It's pretty pathetic how miserable the experience of playing as a pure healer is when leveling though, if they want people to be leveling through the MSQ as shit like white mage and AST so there's actually healers available for leveling dungeons and the initial trials, they need to make playing them not feel like pulling teeth or put you asleep. More than a single fricking damage button to at least let them have the illusion of gameplay would be nice
leveling dungeons on release of an expansion are usually fine and decently intense to heal. ilvl increases and max level dungeons are where it becomes boring and you feel pointless.
Dungeons are not healing intensive, at all. This game is made in mind to clear dungeons without a healer, do you actually play this game?
Read the entire post. Do Tower of Zot at the min ilvl with no healer. Do Holmister Switch at the min ivll with no healer.
I think healers snapped after seeing that xeno video, the first dungeon of a new expansion is usually the most healing intensive.
they forget. they do this each expansion healers will b***h they have to heal dungeons ask for more dps then do dps when they need to heal. Did people forget the second tier of raids in EW?
just bring war lmfao
QUESTING as a healer is fricking miserable, and is the vast majority of time spent leveling through MSQ. The couple leveling dungeons are "fine", but it's not worth the awful experience of actually leveling as a healer, and unlike other games you can't simply switch specs between open world questing and dungeons on the same class (with the sole exception of Summoner/Scholar who still need an entirely separate set of gear and weapon and merely share experience)
chocobo companion has been around since arr why can’t they make it useful again
What do you mean questing? Side quests or FATES? Or doing the MSQ?
Because the MSQ is running around talking to people, interacting with thing, kill three mobs that spawn in purple smoke, and occasional single player duties. That's barebones gameplay for every role.
If you're doing sidequests or FATEs to level you should be doing those on DPS jobs. Healers can just spam dungeons with short queues and level and gear that way in an expansion.
Yes
As a scab
If Healers won’t DPS then Tanks and DPS will heal.

>6k posts
Lmao. I mean, I agree with the dude that healers are boring shit, but this is not going anywhere
This is super hot take but as a DPS main I enjoy current healers for being a role I can switch to when I want to run content with my brain turned off
That's fine (although SMN fills the same niche) but you understand why the entire role can't be designed like that, right?
You can't post shit like this on the forums and be a gray parsing scholar

Yes, but only because I already quit healing half way through Endwalker when I fully realised just how dire the situation is. These guys are delusional if they think CS3 will actually fix healing, but good on them for bringing attention to the issue.

Does anyone else think Alphinauld looking up to Estinien is funny as frick considering that Alphinauld can NEVER, ever be like Estinien, ever?
Like what does he admire in Estinien? The guy is capable of serious violence and grew up hard on the streets of Ishgard. Imagine using a freezing cobblestone as your pillow. Meanwhile, look at Alphinauld's family mansion in Sharlemald. They have servants they pay to just stand there in a suit all day just in case you want them to fetch you something. Totally different worlds.
Alphinauld is like an incel paying for lessons on "how to pull" from like a 10/10 Chad guy.

What the frick is wrong with these degenerates? They always start spamming holy whenever I use TBN. They always do their damn hardest to have me not die whenever I press Living Dead.

there are no other buttons to press

That's on you, bud.
They're always 10 seconds behind me when I pull, by the time they arrive I already started mashing, have a defensive and TBN up.
Also, DRK is the only tank I enjoy playing since it's the only one where if I frick up I die.
>I am playing DRK wrong
>this is everybody else's fault
wew lad
you have to adjust your strategy to your groups individual skill
i start of with a wall to wall to see what the healer is capable off and then adjust according to what is lacking from their part
regardless of how the run goes this way it's still a quick run
>it's the only one where if I frick up I die
any tank dies if you mismanage your mits though
>always 10 seconds behind me
Sounds like bullshit and just don’t use TBD, use ANY of your other cool downs like arm’s length. I legitimately never get to use that anymore as a pld because most stuff dead before I use other stuff
Why are you popping TBN right away if you have a WHM? Their aoe damage and stun results in you taking no damage, use your cds after their stun resistance goes away.
What the frick are they meant to do?
Just stop using their AOE spell?
>They always start spamming holy whenever I use TBN
Let me spell it out for you dumbass one trick. Them glaring for the first 10 seconds is more damage than one flood from you. So just don't tbn so you don't lose your flood.
Use tbn while pulling, proc the flood then just don't use a cd until whm stun expires, not hard bro
I guess /statusoff everything isn’t a joke. healers are fricking dumb and only played by passive aggressive homosexuals. I really don’t know what we expect from them
Learn2play.
Use Sprint and plunge to get ahead of the WHM, hit TBN as soon as you hit the terminal pack. It takes like 5 seconds for the WHM to cast holy and for it get actually explode, which means you get your first TBN popped. Use the aoe Drain ability between the second and third holy, and now TBN is ready again after the third stun wears off. Startyour whole mit rotation at this point…. Whm and DRK are probably the best combo for slaughtering trash packs.
Also I’d just save Living dead in roulettes, it’s the only way you can solo the boss if the healer dies.
If the healer dies it's faster to just party wipe and start over, they may do the lowest dps but I can't stand people who sit there wasting time trying to solo a boss unless it's nearly dead obviously. And invulns are way too powerful as mitigation to just let set there for a "what-if"
nope, sorry. If you died to a random dungeon boss and you are not a sprout or first-timer or the dungeon is out for more than 1 week, I will assume you weren't paying attention or are low-IQ monkey who were about to waste my time. I will solo the boss, I did that many times as either mnk or drk, done it once as gnb and I will do it again. YOU WILL WATCH ME SOLO THE BOSS FROM OUTSIDE THE ARENA NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES!
> If the healer dies it's faster to just party wipe and start over,
You can usually keep one dps alive as DRK, it’s faster than trying again… just for the healer to die again
Holy is the default aoe damage button. Explain exactly what they should do when you pull a pack of 3+ mobs. Go ahead.
Don't use DRK in dungeons moron, the job has ZERO sustain, its literally only meant to be played in extreme 8-man content or harder. Play WAR like everyone else, jackass.

Let's go chads, WoW is back and waiting for us
just did side quests for doman kids in mor dhona. now that's what adventuring is all about.
Good thing you did that, since it's part of unlocking the Doman Enclave in Stormblood.
Doman Enclave is comfy
I was happy when they had their celebrations in the end
Why is this drk seething about tbn when it's at best dps neutral, you can you can just flood for free since the whm is taking care of like 7s of mitigation for you. I love whm in dungeons on drk.
Why do people think Sage isn't going to keep single target multi-dotting? It's literally their one big new thing, I doubt that it was something they didn't forsee people using to multidot single target, SGE isn't busy enough that it is problematic.
Because everyone knows SCH's will b***h until it gets removed. If they can't have it then no one can.
I'm somebody that played BLM since ARR and I think that nonstandard was legitimately a mistake. For most of BLM's lifespan, optimization was all about prepositioning, placing instants at the correct times, slidecasting, all that good stuff in order to get full uptime. It never really was about complex rotations. I don't think BLM should ever have to be about memorizing odd quirks off rotations in order to do more F4s in a fight. Also, this MP tick bullshit was literally a legacy ARR issue. You couldn't do Blizzard 3, Thunder 2, Fire 3 consistently and get full mp without waiting out the tick, and a lot of people would opt to do Thunder 1, Blizzard 1 every other umbral phase to compensate if they didn't have the MP tick timing down. Most people I knew fricking hated it, and every expansion seems to have some quirk deriving from mp ticks being wonky.
You don't have to memorize an entire excel sheet worth of different rotations in order to do non-standard. It's literally just pop transpose if you have extra resources to burn after a Fire phase.
Yeah it really wasn't that hard to understand, and the most DPS increasing ones were easy to understand and use. I swear all those stupid "lines" were just self fellating "look how high IQ my job and I are" garbage.
True, but I do appreciate having a spreadsheet available that shows all the possible variations.
I agree with this, and I want to add that from a game design standpoint it's moronic that the playstyle you can intuit from the in-game tooltips is not the optimal one
The thing with the nonstandard lines is that the entire thing has taken on a life of its own. They've existed for one expansion (ShB nonstandard was an entirely different beast, not really comparable in utility or applicability), but for some reason there are a lot of people who have build their entire personality around using them, many of whom, by their own admission, started in ShB or EW.
As an ARR BLM like you, it was just another instance of jank in the long list of jank that BLM had over the various expansions to me. Fun to play around with for a while, but certainly not core to the job's identity.
I honestly hope that these changes chase these people away from my job and it can go back to being a comfy niche job about movement optimization autism like it used to be, rather than the designated go-to job for obsessive parsebrains. I feel sorry for all future PCT mains though, it seems a lot of them will migrate to it instead and continue to be insufferable there.
The tick bullshit made playing fast at lower levels horrendous. You'd barely gain anything from stacking SpS because then you'd be stuck waiting for the tick. I can see ice paradox being a patch for it and so getting removed once it got changed.
To be honest, the most fun time to parse on BLM was probably HW. You fricked up your uptime? Back to ARR, b***h.
I'll always have a soft spot for HW BLM because the incredible rush of just casually casting Fire IVs which were as powerful as other jobs' signature long cooldown abilities, provided you could keep up Enochian, was incredible. But like with most HW jobs, I recognize that some of the streamlining in SB was probably for the best, and having to hardcast Foul still made for some great nailbiting moments when rotational drift made it slot into your Fire phase.
Xenoglossy was the real mistake, and we can never go back to pre-ShB BLM levels of hardcast autism, but I kinda hope that the effectively enforced 6 Fire IVs and the effectively slightly tighter second half of the AF phase, with Paradox now being instant, will at least manage to give me nostalgia for that rush.
I thought the second half was not tight because paradox always gives firestarter?
Yes, but you'll want to save that F3 proc for switching back to AF from UI after using Transpose, same as you do now, as it results in slightly more damage. So you'll always have that recovery option if you need it, but the fun will come from seeing if you can get away with not using it with proper planning.
Oh right, since the new thunder is instant now it can be used in umbral for that purpose to weave transpose.
>I kinda hope that the effectively enforced 6 Fire IVs and the effectively slightly tighter second half of the AF phase, with Paradox now being instant
I don't think the Paradox change really makes much of a difference, and overall it just makes things easier.
Okay so 3x3 is now a bad idea, so what? Don't do it, go for 4 or 5 (or 6 under leylines?) Fire 4s before Paradox instead if you have time, or just slam Paradox into Triples and Swifts for endless movement since you don't even have to have an instant ready before using Swift/Triple. You don't even have to worry about Paradox eating your Triple stack since it's instant.
I've heard that people that have had a chance to test the expansion in its current pre-release state weren't even using a single healer for dungeon runs which strikes me as concerning. I don't think making a role so utterly worthless outside of raids is good game design in the slightest, especially given the effectively 1 button DPS rotation that healers have.
it’s not great design but 90% of healers are trying to advocate for becoming a shit damage dealer instead of a healer. frick healers and their moronic strike
I never understood this shit. I started as a CNJ/WHM to HEAL, not act as a green DPS. That being said, I enjoy burning out everyone's retinas with Holy spam on every pull (at least the people that didn't bother disabling spell effects on other players).
asking for more dps tools (or at least to bring back the ones which were taken away in ShB) isn't really the same thing.
I read some of the healer strike thread and the #1 thing they want is for dungeons/trials to do more damage, and for warrior sustain to be nerfed so they have to heal. The few calling for more dps are saying "if you won't let me heal then at least give me something to do."
I’m okay with that, if that’s the case. you have my concession, unironically
Actual healer mains think those people are moronic in that thread dude
You mean the ones that got carried through top by just being a dps with 1 button?
I also pressed my cd's according to the spreadsheet.
you seem pretty jealous. Too bad your healanxiety prevents you from being carried.
What do you mean? Playing as a dps or a tank isn’t getting carried.
Good to know you're one of those morons who think something less than 1% of the population can do somehow invalidates healers altogether.
It proves they aren’t necessary for sure. If you don’t consider that a problem then its pretty clear you just want your role to be easy peasy homosexual and no amount of accusing people of things you know nothing about yourself is going to change that. I recommend suicide.
Healers were needed to see the whole fight for that one group to even do it in the first place. You and all the other morons who spout this shit are autistic, losers that get mad over fricking nothing.
>healers where needed to see the whole fight
Lets not pretend you can’t prog without healers, that just makes the prog easier. Besides healers only being a prog tool is also a problem in of itself, its shocking to me that anyone would think this is okay. I think mentally deranged is too soft of a description to use on someone like you
>Group of autists who spend hours doing weird strats to clear a fight means healer are invalidated entirely
You're mind broken.
>Black person thinks that healers being invalidated in all content except savage and ultimate prog is fine
Like I said, mentally deranged is too soft of an expression to use on someone like you. I still recommend suicide.
People that actually play the game don't care about balance outside of savage or ultimate, because it doesn't matter.
So being able to clear savage and ultimate without healers is balanced huh? On how many more levels of hipocrisy do you want to get into contrariangay? Do you think anyone takes your opinion seriously?
yeah all those savage tiers cleared without healers

i was making a statement of fact here tho
does that upset you?
Why would I be upset? You stated that at least the game isn't a literal steaming pile of shit. That's not exactly a high bar. Are you having difficulty understanding?
Population determines if a game is good. WoW and XIV are top tier in the genre.
That's not saying a lot when the only alternatives are korean cashgrabs.
Versus what?
Although
>Population determines if a game is good
Then WoW is better than XIV and Diablo 4('s first two weeks) is the best CRPG to ever be created
We dont know WoW's population for sure, and yes Diablo 4 is good. So is Fortnite. You can personally dislike a game but recognize it as good.

No. I only said the two posts that I just referred to. Unless you're also having a mental health episode and think everybody on the internet is one person.

First, never happened.
Second, The original poster already responded to him. That was the second reply he got to the same talking point and still somehow thought it was the same person.
Goodness gracious. The mental illness on this website.
You never distinguished yourself. Simple as.
Now stop having a melty over failing to communicate properly.
I assume anyone who posts these “owns” is a samegay bro it’s so easy to avoid this with a phone
Make sense if you want me to continue to replying to your bait.
All the “ultimate” healer homosexuals already got btfo, literally all you have left is this moronic contrarianism.
No dude you don't understand, a bunch of autists spending hours and doing odd-ball strats means healers are dead! Let alone the only way people were able to learn the entire fight was two healers keeping them up.
It's funny because you'd think that a game allowing for people to find ways to clear things in a non-optimal/unintended way would be something these homosexuals call "SOVL." They basically do about other things like that that were removed, so I guess the difference is that people only pretend to have liked it when it's gone.
Majority of FFXIV players are legit unhinged, it's best to not interact with community and keep yourself detached from it as much as possible.
>it's best to not interact with community and keep yourself detached from it
then why do you play an MMO if you don't want to be part of its community?
You can have/make friends and not interact with the community at all in-game. Not sure why you act like it's impossible.
Pretending to be moronic is not an argument.
Imagine if fighting games were treated like FFXIV is treating it's job design
There would be no fighting game genre because they would've patched out combos and other mechanics that became mainstays because it was "nonstandard" and "unintended"
Bad analogy because SF6 is the most liked / most played fighting game at the moment and every character wants to do the homogenized strategy and M DR H H Special Super dominates the game

>universal Gatling routes as opposed to multiple different routes depending on the starter
UCoB was cleared with only tanks, so according to your logic we should delete every job that isn't a tank. I hope you're just baiting and not this stupid.
The difference here is that bringing dps is a far more effective strat and healers are still useless in all strats. What is your next disingenous argument?
The only person being disingenuous is (you).
>no you
You and the other disingenous homosexuals haven’t provided a single argument other than savage and ultimate are the only content that matters and healers being unnecessary in things like dungeons isn’t a problem. Then when face with the utter humiliation that is being able to clear an ultimate on the same patch it was released on without healers you try to ride on the whole “healers are necessary for prog” shit when it only took a few months to figure out. Disingenous is the entire basis of your fricking argument, please die.
People have already talked about those reasons in this thread, I'm not going to repeat them because you're a disingeinous moron. Here's your final (you) and please have a nice day after you donate to your FFXIV you autistically watch.
It's the way that fight is designed where you can do shit like four tank limit breaks. Stop acting like one terribly designed fight means healers are dead.
>people have already talked about those reasons
Yeah all disingenuous two faced “arguments” like “but you still needed to prog it”. Fricking hypocritical as frick to even say this right after saying extreme/unreal and dungeon content don’t fricking matter. If 8.0 really does bring back rng and agency to jobs I cannot wait to see your meltdown and i hope you commit suicide over it, only the most contrarian evil person ever would have opinions like yours.
Looking forward to you progging without a healer come July 30th bud, make sure to link your Twitch!
> The difference here is that bringing dps is a far more effective strat
>Gordito thinks they brought 6 dps to the TOP clear
Obviously you aren’t going to play the game, but can you at least watch the video you are talking about?
>1 extra dps and 1 extra blue dps which is better than a green dps
Hmmm
>still hasn’t watched the video or read the log
Ay caramba!
It seems you are unable to read since its pretty clear they are running 2 plds and a war with the rest being dps, specifically summoner and dnc for very obvious reasons.
Maybe if tanks couldn’t solo heal casual content this wouldn’t be a problem. Wouldn’t be so difficult to implement aoe damage that comes more often than every 1 minute.
> It seems you are unable to read since its pretty clear they are running 2 plds and a war
What were the dps on los paladinos, amigo?
More than a healer
If it's more effective why did nobody log a single no healer run after?
Why did the one no-healer run almost enrage?
if healers are worthless, why do they get so many comms?
>>>/vg/
post your TOP log
No one wants the jobs to become something they've never been. They just want tasks to do so they aren't just hitting one button for 90% of their casts. Either require healing more and use of all your tools in all content or give them something more to do than press one dps button.
In SB/HW era healers didn't heal less because they had more dps buttons, they healed as much as they needed to which was primarily OGCD healing because the damage output in the game is low and predictable in the majority of content and this is true today outside of a few of the most recent savage and ultimate fights. But the time they spent not healing there were a bigger variety of things to do whether that be the more involved cards of Astro or the multiple damage abilities of Scholar. WHM was the only healer who's non-healing capability was really just spamming one DPS button but even they had multiple dots and cleric stance at one point.
A common misunderstanding people seem to express about healer changes is that reducing DPS button and adding more and more to healing kit means that healers will heal more. And the game largely is not designed that way, the added healing tools just mean even more of your GCDs can will just be spent on your nuke. People cite the hard hitting attacks and bleeds in the recent savage encounters but even those are handled largely by prepared ogcds and a *few* gcd healing maybe. You never spend "most" of your time healing as a healer in any content in XIV.
>the damage output in the game is low and predictable
t. didn't heal at the time
Its just warrior, the only other tank that could deal with no healers in dungeons is PLD but it would be iffy because they have a long CD on hallowed. The real problem comes in bosses were war has an easier time sustaining the team with nascent and shake, PLD can make do with intervene clemency and veil but they have to sacrifice damage to do clemency. the other tanks wouldn't be able to keep a party alive. This is such a non issue because 1 warr 3 dps could be done in SHB with nascent flash and even further in HW/SB 1 drk 3 dps was also possible. Healers don't know what the frick they want because there were several healing intensive fights and an entire tier that needed a lot of healing they b***hed and cried when they got it.
You can easily do it without a healer on war, gnb, pld, remember without a healer you get a 3rd dps so the damage is much higher and tanks having way more than enough mitigation to survive and bosses are a joke
It depends on the dungeon. Experts can be done all because they aren’t synched. GNB can’t do Dead Ends, etc without a healer, much less crap like vanaspati synched.
I kept 3 noobs alive in Theia alliance raid on PLD when all the healers went down. keeping other people alive on paladin is very easy to do, probably more so than warrior. you get 1k mp back with every 1-2 combo. you are right it sacrifices damage but I think the only drawback compared to warrior is that paladin has to sacrifice their own healing to do so. the mp you would use to heal yourself with clemency or blade combo is gone. I think war is far more selfish in this regard
>muh casuals
>muh savage troons
I am so sick of it. I don't feel either camp is happy with the current job design. The only people being happy about the state of Jobs are the fricking devs, because its not only easier to make your precious DDR fights when everyone is basically the same, it is also way easier to make new shit. Just slap a follow up to a random skill and be done with it.
RDM WAS ALREADY MORE DIFFICULT TO OPTIMIZE IN EW RAIDS THAN BLACK MAGE...............................
ALL THESE BLACK MAGE E-CELEBS IGNORED RED MAGE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO, EVEN THOUGH DAWNTRAIL MADE RED MAGE EVEN *MORE* COMPLEX TO OPTIMIZE WHILE SIMPLIFYING BLACK MAGE
EAT SHIT EAT SHIT EAT SHIT EAT SHIT
Thats because RDM players have lateral thinking skills and BLM players are morons with tunnel vision.
>EVEN THOUGH DAWNTRAIL MADE RED MAGE EVEN *MORE* COMPLEX TO OPTIMIZE
The Acceleration changes are a fricking nightmare to think about. It forces you to misalign your Fleche with the 2nd instant cast, and you can only delay that as long as you have procs up.
tbh any random proc job requires "optimization"
but they removed thunder proc so thats 1 less optimization
Not all jobs require the same level of optimization. RDM was already more difficult to optimize in EW and the gap only got worse. It was sickening listening to all these "hardcore Black Mage e-celebs" do interviews and videos and always say "I don't know anything about Red Mage."
And you got barely any payoff for running RDM in an optimized setting. The community just got smaller and smaller through the expansion as more RDM mains picked up the staff because it had so many options and paid with god damage.
Which new server on Dynamis to join?
BLM should get homogenized so people shouldn't have to think which button to use. YoshitPiss please fix this...
I like how all the optimization gays hate on healers for asking for more of it but get mad when it affects their jobs. I don’t care for the perfect legend gays that say you don’t play the game since they are all healers and you don’t need healers for ultimate.
I want healers to heal, not dps. I don’t want aoe heals on my tank class and I certainly don’t want them on my dps. I want to know that when I start tanking a boss my healer is there because he wants to keep me alive, not spam glare while he’s watching netflix to get some fricking tomestones for a manderville weapon
Tanks have more than enough healing tools to keep themselves alive. Healers will heal when yoshitpiss gives them a reason to
yes. I want more healing-intensive content.
It is funny that he ends the video saying he knows people are mocking BLMs for being upset over losing flexibility and options because every other job has also had that done to them but then just doesn't explain why BLM should be the only job that has flexibility and options.
These people are so high on their own farts and don't realize that shit like Black Mage being more flexible than Red Mage with way higher damage should not be a thing at all
Well optimally other jobs would be more flexible too, but you are just a salty little b***h if you are happy that the last bit of optimization was removed.
>but you are just a salty little b***h if you are happy that the last bit of optimization was removed.
they deserve it. if summoner and scholar have to be braindead neanderthal ape classes everyone else deserves to suffer too.
Literal crab in a bucket mentality

All of your pathetic schadenfreude will come back to bite you in the ass and nobody will be there to help you, little piece of shit b***h
There's nothing left to bite, BLM was the last one to fall in line, that's why you're the real moron thinking the rest of us can have it worse.
>he thinks it's only this game that it can come back to get him in
Who the frick said anything about which fighting game I'm talking about?
Also you're wrong too. There's mix-ups, resets, safe jumps, frame traps, and deeper combos off of installs. If you're just doing DR into H H or M M special super you're trash
>slime rusher mad his babby game was called out
First fighting game? All mix-ups are strike/throw, safe jumps is a homogenized strategy, frame traps are 1 button after drive rush at most and "deep" combos != depth, in Street Fighter before what you did to get a combo mattered, over here at SF6 it doesn't so shut the frick up keep it in the SF threads if you want to praise that shitty game and if you insist it's not the same I'll gladly ft10 you
nta but
> I'll gladly ft10 you
In SF6?
Sure. Haven't played in like 5 months.
I'll also clean your clock in super turbo. I like doing that to people talking about the good 'ol days.
If you're not that anon then you aren't involved and the good old days I'm referring to aren't past 12 years ago
>All of your pathetic schadenfreude will come back to bite you in the ass
lol I was a healer main before I quit playing in endwalker, nothing can bite me worse than they already have besides a big AUTO button that plays the game for you, and a dipping bird on your 1 key does that at this point anyways
>t.
More that Black Mages players thought they were untouchable and were very loud about that, because they said for years they were the "chosen" job role of the Director/ Producer. Now they got a taste of what so many of us have had to endure and they don't like it.
You want me to give a shit about BLM players? Where was the outrage when they fricked my Gunbreaker? My Warrior? My Paladin?
This. Everyone called MNK players deranged for liking TK rotation and laughed when we lost it. I'm not shedding a tear for anything that happens to other jobs in a similar vein.
>still doesn't explain why BLM should be the only job that has such extreme optimization to significantly outperform other jobs beyond it's intended level.
You people can never actually mount a defense of it
RDM is harder thoughbeit
BLMs cheered the enshittening of SMN and mocked people who didn't like it.

Reminder that BLM WILL get fixed. Eksu has JP raiders backing him up because Yoshida only listens to JP. Yoshida is terrified of any bit of XIV being portrayed negatively, plus his head is on the line at SE. If his godly PR can't please fans, then SE has no use for him. He has to please everyone, he has no choice, therefore BLM will get fixed. Doomers lost.
sure, sure, just like SCH got their dots back, right
>JP raiders backing him up
You mean the people that had there TOP clear removed and told to throw away their weapons because of Zoom hack. You people really are delusional, but go on I'm enjoying this all play out as an observer.
wowbucks would do the same for their game tho... are we less fans?
UNNAMED didn't even have a black mage, what are you talking about?
It's an example that JP raiders and their opinion don't mean dick to Yoshida and the dev team. So name dropping that an eceleb gay has them backing him up, so what?
>JP raiders and their opinion don't mean dick to Yoshida and the dev team
The only reason UNNAMED was canceled because the Japanese community went apeshit. No one gave a shit about any of the previous world first teams using 3rd party tools, but it was a shameful display when their guys did it too.
>but it was a shameful display when their guys did it too.
it was shameful display that they got caught using them. that's the real reason...
Look up DSR world first clear up on Youtube and see if you can see the 3rd party tools. They didn't even try to hide it.
Oh wait you can't because SE made them remove it and banned the guy.
TPS were caught during TEA and no one cared, all Yoshida did was alter the way markers worked later on.
It was a dev who leaked that UNNAMED were using Zoomhack, it was the devs and Yoshida who decided to remove their clear not JP raiders.
If there wasn't any outrage then they wouldn't have done shit. They listen to their players.
>If there wasn't any outrage
How could they be outrage when no one except the devs knew UNNAMED were using a zoomhack? You're putting the cart before the horse in this scenario.
What the frick are you talking about? One of the members of the raid team leaked the video, the devs didn't know shit because they don't have any anti-cheat tools.
Meanwhile western teams just upload their clears with tool usage and no one ever gave a shit because no samurai honor.
The game has absolutely 0 anticheat. You can do whatever you want and the devs will never know. See xivalexander/noclippy spoofing packets
>Getting mad people using a plug-in to fix this game's bugged netcode
Grow up.

>im not cheating im just lowering the difficulty of the game :>
Literally who, and who cares
Do you what Yoshida hates more than anything else
Third party tools
Hell will freeze over before he allows any hint of MP tick frickery to come back into his game
Reminder this is the man who said Microsoft Excel is a third party tool
If he hated them so much we'd have anti-cheat or the rules would be enforced for any slight. When I started, I was told by friends to never mention parsing unless iy was with people I trusted. These days people talk about parses and gameplay add-ons without a care in the world in-game. I keep telling people Yoshida doesn't care because the only serious act of rule enforcing he ever did was the TOP WF cheaters, and he probably wouldn't have cared if it didn't make the news in JP.
I never saw the point in using 3rd party tools other than convenience. using them to diminish challenge in a raid setting seems unrewarding
Parsers only find the gold number worthwhile and will always cheat to acquire it.
Its literally illegal for them to add anti-cheap according to nip laws. You can be sure it will be there day 1 if he has anything to do with the next ff mmo in a decade or so though.
Plenty of JP games have anti-cheat.
moron
i think healers are fine
but I worry that shields are becoming too strong (it already is too strong)
the game needs more mechanics that require reactive hard heals rather than flat damage that you can prepare for with a shield
Tankbros, don't worry about healing. Even if healbawd fails you, MNKbro is here with Mantra and the upgraded Earth's Reply (Cure Potency: 300 or 500 if buffed)
Check again MNK bro mantra is gone.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! CURSE YOU YOSHIDA!!!!!!!!!

i miss eno-chan the most
not for what it does but for the sick animation
I've been doing dungeons without healers for fricking ever, are all these guys new? Who remembers the AD spamming DRK, that shit was a riot
I wonder if DT endgame hub will feature gradual changes. The last few zones have been kind of boring.
as if you're going to be there longer than the handul of minutes necessary to buy gear with tokens and then return to limsa or quicksands...
I've spent way more time in the endgame hubs than in limsa or the quicksands and this is probably true for anyone who's not a full-time ERPer
i don't even go to starting cities unless my inventory is full of dungeon gears or a quest send me there
the park on the west half of Sharlayan is a cute place to have a date, no homo.
If it's so easy to clear ultimates using 3rd party tools then why doesn't every casual fricker have an ultimate weapon, huh? CHECKMATE GRAYPARSERS!
They do though? After the mentor crown, an ult weapon is the biggest sign of a shitter there is. Clearly you don't play the game if you aren't constantly seeing paypal legends eating shit in casual content.
But they do? There's almost 1 million uwu clears and about 800k TEA clears. People talk shit about ucob because of all the challenge runs but it still sits at around 500k clears because the people doing sId challenge runs are the same sort who try to one-healer or no-healer TOP and TEA.
where do i find the gay hrothgar clubs in this game
Why would you want to hang with obese, SEA freaks?
PF on crystal
Just wear loose glam as a hroth. They'll find you.
Why did XIV just bring out the schizo in every other WoWgay except Norf fc?
Preach loves rpgs and grew up with them, most WoW streamers only played WoW growing up and dont really care about rpgs so much as the hamster wheel like a gacha gay. So in XIV where the gear really doesn't matter compared to not standing in shit like a dumbass they got chrono triggered.
Nord is working class English born and bred. He's still no where near perfect, he's very much got a blind side to political ideology within games, but he's a damn sight better than a lot of other people around.
That's probably a lot of it, that and he's older, has a wife and family, and employees who work for him. I don't know I think his upbringing is probably a lot to do with it, a Manc English lad.
I have literally never raided in this game and have no desire to play past EW's final week while also going back to single player games.
What am i in for?
Nothing? What are you even asking about moron?
>jp games can't have anti cheat in them
I somehow imagined all those SE, Capcom and Sega games with denuvo?
this guy wants to play summoner
HAHAAHA this guy wants to play summoner lmao
what armor set is that? also i haven't played since HW. is ninja a FUN class?
I think its basic b***h tome gear recoloured and yes NIN is fun again.
Ninja is fun for 15 seconds and then you afk for 45, then repeat.
Head is from that fancy palace ShB dungeon and the top is a mogstation item iirc or that dohma restoration one
Doma restoration top looks nothing like that.
Someone here probably knows what it is so here's a bigger pic
Speaking of cheating, how do I use ReAction? Like do I add a line of code to my macros so they can queue? Also wtf is it talking about with stacks and “soft target”?
I’m bad at the game and have old man reflexes so I’m going to cheat.
>have old man reflexes
Bro are you 80? This game is made for old men so unless you have arthritis you have no excuse.
I’m also drunk most of the time.

Shut the frick up stupid b***h
Die
There was rage for other jobs being dumbed down
Die
There should be at least one job in the game that has room for skill expression. I'd prefer it for there to be more but the whole game being dumbed down into moron-proof slop is just people bathing in feces at this point
Frick you, and frick everyone else with you shitty mentality
Go to hell
Revisionist history, nobody was happy about what they did to SMN except for morons like (You)
Sneed, BLMsissy.
>anyone cheering for BLM being dumbed down calling anyone else a sissy
Nah, you're the fricking sissy you little pussy b***h
I own you, BLMsissy. I shit down your neck.
You lost and you will forever be my little b***h. Now put on the dress.
You don't own anything little baby dick b***h. The only one with shit on them is you because you eat whatever Square Enix shits out and ask for more while defending it like the literal shit eating goblin you are
Put on your little dress, sissy boy. You're boutta be BLACKED.
You're the only one taking dick in the ass b***h, keep getting dicked down by Square Enix like the sissy you are
Bend over I'm about to put my REAL dps dick up your little blmussy. Those tears will sustain me for years to come.
Can't feel your little dick sorry
Here we go, here we go. Here's that [Heavy Thrust] you've been craving, little castersissy.
I'm going to give you a REAL explosion.
Can't feel it, sorry. Looks like you were the sissy all along. Seems to line up with your ideology
I love how mad you are while I tear you wide open. You will never sit again. The dress you wear will be a constant reminder of how much I own you. Put on the choker for me.
Dont sully my job for your limpdick fantasies, homosexual.
Oh, oh yeah. Oh, you're gonna earn that explosion, aren't you? I know you're clamoring for it, little BLMsissy.
>gooner lacks reading comprehension
Here's a clue for you porn-addled brain. Heavy Thrust is not a Black Mage skill. I'll give you a minute to process that information. Have fun.
Of course it's not a Black Mage skill.
Black Mage is not a real DPS job.
It's a buffsissy job. It buffs the morale of all the REAL DPS by spitshining their poles and squealing impotently about "I AM A REAL DPS I AM A REAL DPS I AM A REAL DPS."
You don't understand. It takes some next level autism to learn and play non standard BLM rotation. Imagine, you decide to open a 100 pages google doc to learn it (for absolutely no reason).
It really makes me laugh, most of the BLM are tards that needs to be babysitted by most of the group, because "muh gameplay"
>tfw BLM was the only job left in the game that I could enjoy because it was the last one left that hadn't been dumbed down to completely drooling moron levels
>tfw even EW BLM changes dumbed it down so much compared to before that it was a contributing factor to me barely playing EW
Bros... why...
Who the frick are they making this game for? Why can't we have even ONE job that isn't for literal morons?
Play rdm bro, it was harder than blm for all of ew and is only getting worse to optimize in dt.
You will suffer as we have suffered, no more special favors, no more dev's pet job.
I ALREADY SUFFERED, I SWITCHED TO BLM AFTER THEY KILLED ALL THE OTHER JOBS I ENJOYED
FUUUCK YOOOUUU
All you crabs in a bucket motherfrickers can go to hell
There was no outrage for my favorite jobs getting simplified, so I feel no reason to be mad if other others jobs suffer the sane fate. In fact I delight in seeing these BLM mains so upset after years of considering the job untouchable.
WRONG
Keep making shit up though because you're a literal crab ass homosexual
>keep making shit up
MNK, NIN, DRK, AST, BRD, SMN, all historically dumbed down frequently but everyone cheered for them. So now I cheer for BLM to be forced into a static rotation. Shouldve been kinder to other jobs if you wanted my support 🙂
You forgot sch
Yeah but I was talking about my favorite jobs and I always hated SCH.
He forgot SCH because he's making shit up and didn't actually play the game in the past. It's fake history
Your little baby carrot couldn't even tear open a tissue
Literally fake fricking history you little b***h. It's so obvious you never even played the game in the past.
As a matter of fact, Heavensward DRK was one o my favorite jobs and I DID complain about it being changed so frick you and frick off
He's malding, chat. He said I didn't play the game kekw.
The funny thing is that they didn't really make black mage any easier, there's still plenty of ways to fail and plenty of noob traps. I really hate the design where you can only fail, and the best you can aim for is be average and then just get lucky with crits.
>Dawntrail advertises a brand new adventure, untethered by previous ten years of plot
>ask if it's new adventure or ascian shardslop
>"its a good adventure, sir"
>look inside
>it's ascian shardslop
Since EW, I am frequently reminded of that bit of dialogue in the third PotC movie.
>"the world used to be a bigger place"
>"the world's still the same, there's just less in it"
I genuinely don't care if it's Ascian/Ancient shit because it's rarely one-note.
Emet-Selch, Lahabrea and Elidibus had their own intentions, while Fandaniel did something else for different reasons entirely.
The Ascians work well because they can be greater overarching schemers with their own motivations that set things in motion. It's not all necessarily, "Oh, so it's an Ascian, so you'll end up doing things in Ascianland with Ascian visuals and identical motives and driving forces."
What's ReAction?
It’s a plug-in that lets you do a lot of cheaty things, but what im interested in his being able to queue macros, so for example I can weave ogcds as mouse over without changing targets.
/ac "skill name" <mo>
Yes anon, the issue is that macro won’t queue. So you have to hit precisely during the cooldown of your gcd, while doing 2 target switches will let you queue the ogcd
>this dead so close to release
G R I M
I think this is a grace period before the expansion. a month ago nearly all of those were locked down
He's been reposting that image all month trying to get a reaction. If you look into the archives you'll see how many times he's repostedit.
You are scrip capped and doing wondrous tales today, right?
All these Black folk claim to want harder jobs and fights and whine about how easy the game is then when you ask them to show their plug-ins and they're always cheating up the ass it's hilarious
Or they have someone literally state what to do next.
Barely anybody resolves higher end mechanics on their own in this game. They cheat, or they get coached, or both.
I play with controller on xbox in the US southwest. I don’t think I could be at a greater disadvantage. they need to let me zoom my camera out a bit farther and I would be ok
Aside from the MP tick add-on, did BLM use any other plug-ins? That seems less egregious than having auto-combos and whatever the less complex jobs use.
Cactbot definitely or they had someone call out every mechanic like that anon said when 99% of the difficulty for BLM was meant to be positioning and knowing mechanics
You think it's impossible to actually memorize the fights yourself?
Grim.
No but hardly any parse troon does it
If it's not impossible for them, then why don't they do it? Why do they always get their hands held by coaches and/or cheating plugins.. Hmmmh?
>less complex jobs use more addons on average than blm
really makes you think huh?
>literally cancel my pre-order off of my main's changes
Most of these morons moaning and shitting are still going to buy the expansion.
Party finder that works between DC when? Sometimes I may want to gather or use my retainer whilst being on another DC waiting for PF to fill but I’m not allowed.
Its coming eventually according to one of the media tour interviews. I couldn't tell you which, but I'm sure I saw that question asked.
Yoshida was asked and said it they were to work ok it, it would take until 8.X. Which I find funny because the length it takes for these has never been a factor, people just want them in, so the way he worked makes me think he doesn't want to do it even if it's possible
>Did Yokai Watch and other events already
>Don't need more MGP

>"skill expression"
Is there anything more pathetic than throwing a tantrum when a game refuses to cater to your narcissistic fetish for showing off how much better you are at pushing buttons than other people
Is there anything more pathetic that literal morons who aren't good at anything demanding everyone else be brought down to their level because they can't stand the thought of someone else enjoying something more complex or something that takes practice and dedication to get the most out of it
I would agree to the extent that class identity is far more important than skill expression, but they aren’t mutually exclusive
Yea yea keep telling yourself that reading from an Excel spreadsheet someone else came up with takes "practice and dedication" I'm sure everyone is impressed buddy LMAO
I didn't need to see any videos to know they ruined it, stupid ass b***h
How fricking dumb do you have to be to not be able to tell how a job is going to play from seeing the tooltips?
Not surprised to see you defending this shit, you're a fricking ape
Striving for improvement is something you'll never understand.
while playing the easier rotation, too. and sucking it off because "urhh its le different???"
Oh god, we actually have an unabashed moron here.
Black Mage tiers are so funny.
RED MAGES WON
THE MOST COMPLEX CASTER
RED MAGES WON
THE MOST COMPLEX CASTER
RED MAGES WON
THE MOST COMPLEX CASTER
RED MAGES WON
THE MOST COMPLEX CASTER
Until the expansion after this one when they get enshittened too
They aren't going to change the core mechanic of Red Mage. Yoship said they want jobs to feel more unique and casters already accomplish this; every caster feels unique.
They changed the core of SMN, changed the foundation of MCH, neutered the MP management and self sustain of DRK, simplified MNK, started stripping positionals out of everything, stripped time magic out of AST, removed SECTS out of AST, removed RNG out of AST, and are now fricking with BLM MP management loops.
Don't be daft. Literally nothing is safe.
I dont' think they will either because RDM has never been as dificult of a job for them to design for but SMN playstyle was completely deleted. They can and do delete unique job mechanics with aplomb
>core mechanic of Red Mage
They actually fricked with it's rotation a ton going from SB to ShB to EW despite the core being "build mana and then melee". It's like they only look at the superficial, basic playstyle and don't think about how adding new skills or changing existing ones
*fricks with the core
In general I think it only improved over time. It became less proc / RNG reliant, and also became more flexible for movement. There were just two problems
>every else got even better movement
>they leave the damage way too low for what is arguably the hardest caster to optimize, due to "rez tax"
VOUCH FOR ME!
To be a Black Mage is to be superior.
How come wow classic has better, more fun and more engaging classes than xiv?
>mage but aoe and slow
>mage but fire and damage
>mage but element less and never has mp
great game
The only fun job in vanilla was warrior, and especially casters were horrendous.
And no I didn't play it after vanilla who cares about BfA Classic.
Uhm sweaty mage does nothing but cast frostbolt making it bad. It needs a 30 button bing bing wahoo “rotation”.
>warrior clears a dungeon with a red mage
>clearly that means healers are not need for any of the tanks
Man you people could be playing video games
Did the rdm actually heal any? I don't watch eceleb shit.
>WAR and RDM have self healing and defensive buffs that make them the most viable to tell healers to frick off and solo content.
Did rdm heal at all in that video? Answer the question homosexual.
TOP was cleared with no healers
by a lot of planning and godlike gamers
it doesn't translate to the rest of the game
the ecelebs are the most vocal morons about the game and every single braincell idiot in his chat repeats his opinions
>by a lot of planning and godlike gamers
>it doesn't translate to the rest of the game
It should be impossible outside of powercreeping in later expansions.
DSR it isnt possible its just that ToP is more mechanic focused and they are long enough for small heals to matter
DSR was cleared with one healer lol.
Yeah but only with AST since it can do it all and macrocosmos being OP
you also have to understand that this is because damage in TOP is badly designed, if something won't outright kill you it will just do a lot of damage, the issues come from endwalker raid design but the same thing doesn't apply to DSR and/or any other ult
You are conveniently ignoring the fact P6 was only possible because of FOUR TANK LIMIT BREAKS. The heal check is there, it just happens to be in the phase with free LB refills which is what allowed the unconventional solution.
There should be no amount of planning that allows you to clear an ultimate ON-PATCH without healers. It should be the most healing intense content in the whole game. It should be amazing to solo-heal it and impossible to no-healer it.
I couldn’t 4 hours ago because of maintenance
Do you really think Red Mage did the majority of healing? This isn't FF5.
>FF5
Red mage is even more useless in that game than it is 14.
We should try using the same composition in min-ilvl Holminster or Zot and see if there's any difference.
They weren't min ilvl, but reagardless war can easily do zot without a healer.
>high ping
>skills missing from hotbars
>hotkeys not bound
>dps standing in mechanics
It shouldn't even be possible to clear with all those issues, let alone easily in an unfamiliar dungeon. What would a healer really contribute to the duty?
Dungeon design is shit, and warrior healing needs a nerf.
They took HW/SB DRK healing with it's peaks and valleys, took only the peaks, and gave it to WAR.
>IT'S THE CASUALS!!! IT'S THE LIMSA-ITES! CASUALS ARE RUINING MUH FURKIN GAEM AND DESTROYING MUH JOBS
?t=9207
>So, if they made Bloodfest 1 minute and they lowered the potency of Lion Heart, it would not only mean that you would never have to worry about cartridges every again going into a burst, which is fricking awesome, but it would also solve way more crit variance issues.
The bald man wants every tank to just be warrior. Ignore his idiotic rambling
What's the point of healers if tanks can self heal?
What stupid fricking idiot even decided to give them that ability?
FFXIV is a single player game now, that's why.
Tanks have been able to self-heal since at least HW, in fact Wars CD is just a dumbed down stolen version of DRKs AD spam
They weren't able to completely sustain themselves indefinitely without outside assistance while tanking wall to wall.
Heavensward Warrior did not have Benediction on a 25s cooldown.
They said self-healing not overpowered self-sustain, having healing on a tank is useful so the healer wouldn't need to to waste all their time curing a tank but it's gone a bit too far obviously
That had the opposite in fact. It was pretty common for morons to kill themselves with raw intuition in hw dungeons.
The funny thing about these forced dramatics is that you know 99.9% of people clearing Ultimates will never do it without healers.
And it gets even funnier because 90% of people will never clear those Ultimates at all, let alone without any healers.
Woman brain reigns in these threads.
The BLM thing is gonna be the SMN situation all over again isnt it?
>All the existing expert BLM chuds hate it
>But the masses love it and now way more people actually play it
Eksu is scared that people will be able to play BLM optimally without looking at his logs or guides.
That's actually really bad and I don't even like Black Mage.
Currently Red Mage stands alone as the only job still holding on to some remnant of good Stormblood job design.
>good Stormblood job design
That was 3 expansions ago and the game has changed. RDM will be altered next expansion as well. One caster per cycle, as ordained.
Obviously. It happens every time. Literally the only job that lost players as a result of its rework is AST, who had a massive fall off from SB > ShB.
No way. BLM is still the same as before except you can't optimize as much.
Nah its way easier now with Paradox being instant. It'll be nearly impossible to drop stacks now due to unpredictable movement.
Wait you think that's the same kind of a change as SMN got in EW?
Interesting.
BLM is objectively being made easier to play and harder to mess up. Its pointless to say that the messing up will be worse on your dps because it'll practically never happen now, unlike before.
And how exactly that's the same as SMN being totally reworked?
>All the existing expert BLM chuds hate it
yeah the 5.55 wowfugees
your long-time expert BLM chuds
>B B BUH WOW GUYS WOW
Shut the frick up
>he is mad because he knows I'm right
KEKAROODLEDOOOOO
It's exactly the same for any regular players. This only effects higher end blm players
>no umbral soul until lv76
>long cast times
>procs that you shouldn't spend until the right moment
Casuals still won't be able to handle it.
The situation is totally different. BLM got some hyper-autistic optimization shit pruned and has become even more punishing if you frick yo, SMN got turned into a one button job. BLM will continue to remain one of the biggest casual filters in the game along with MNK.
Its nearly impossible to mess up nu-BLM with Paradox being instant cast and Thunder being a guarantee each phase.
You have never touched BLM. Instant Paradox doesn't mean shit, the Thunder change doesn't mean shit and is in fact an actual noob trap. Meanwhile dropping a single F4 now completely fricks you out of your shiny new spell.
The only time you'd be unable to complete a full fire phase is during a boss invuln transition. I dont understand what you mean.
What I mean is that you have no idea how casuals operate. For you and me, dropping AF is impossible in DT (not that it wasn't before). A casual will hardcast one F4, try to start a second, panic because they get an AOE marker, run around, restart the cast, panic again because they forgot their thunder proc, use the thunder proc, and bam, AF gone.
You cannot fathom how deep the casual rabbit hole goes. I have no doubt that more people wil try out BLM in DT, sure. But it will never reach anywhere near current SMN numbers. SMN operates in a whole different sphere of casualization, SGE will have a more difficult rotation than SMN in DT if it gets to keep its second dot
BLM?

Cox is fine as far as XIV influencers go, but he's not even talking with YoshiP.
He is though?
Quazii, Jesse Cox, Preach and Meoni were the ones who got direct interviews IIRC this media tour.
I don't mind him, he's alright he knows his lane. He's a casual player, a story enjoyer and he knows that's what he likes. It's fine, not everyone has to cover raid and job design you can cover other stuff too.
Does Ben have any personality besides hovering around the FF14 fandom for crumbs of attention now that 16 came and went? He's already giving me Hayter vibes.
hes a VA in that new western JRPG i think
You have to do that when you're an actor/performer, unironically.

Literally nobody cares about that zergrush shit.
Huntgays are unironically more autistic than parsetrannies.
They only balance for savage anon and they do a shitty job of that even, warrior isn't even the best defensively in savage and its dps is healer tier, or at least it was when I was playing

>Yoshida told Xeems they can easily implement Unreal sync to savage, ex, and even dungeons
>they just...choose not to despite everyone complaining how pointless and powercrept old content feels
I'm truly baffled by this one.
>Xeems
How fat and autistic are you?
Have some fun in your life, incel.
Dang, I didn't know my wife was the virgin Mary. Thanks for letting me know, twitch obsessed tard.
We also got info about the level sync mechanic thanks to those questions, it was only implemented by one guy and hasn't been touched since ARR.
Why? They have the % completion of unreal content. It’s extremely low. Pandering to compgays (for MMOs this would be raidtrannies) is literally how ever game regardless of genre dies
>add content
>don't add rewards or any incentive to actually do that content
>act surprised when people don't do that content
This is a fricking MMO, you need to give people a carrot or they're not gonna do shit.
It’s a game. The incentive is fun. There is no reward or incentive to emoting in a city or house but people do it.
Do not pander to raid homosexual trannies
Call me when they have the unreals drop gear with the same ilevel as the latest ex.
A bit of challenge is fun, its not like dungeons or EX become this turbo metaprostitute territory, its about not sleepwalking through any content below fourth floor of Savage.
Tbh, at this point SE would be better off making the game open source and letting us implement everything.
yep. i'm thinking wowfugee blmtroons got btfo hard ITT

You're moronic.
I am. Wanna frick?
Will Yoshida be able to pull out another redemption arc? Like it or not the end of Shadowbringers and start of Endwalker were the golden age when everybody was happy and lots of people were playing the game. Look at us now...
Why do brown people like ellipses so much
Tanks feel extremely overpowered at this point kek like everyone assumed last time they added all those ridiculous cds that the damage would increase proportional to compensate but it wasn't even close. And now you can do shit like have perma reprisal and the cds are even crazier.
I was hoping them adding sustain to our core rotation meant dungeon pulls would be insane and I would have to help my party in staying alive. Shit changed absolutely nothing and I dont even bother popping more than 2 CDs.
Time to watch my favorite British femboy Machinist main.
>so... machinist deals more damage when it uses this.... ... ...
>Wrote an essay seething because people told him to smile
Sauce?
Couple of months back, he wrote out a long twatter chain seething about people telling him to cheer up and smile more. I'm not going through his feed to find it but if you want to look for yourself that's where you'll find it.
Oh, I remember that whole schizo shit. Dude looks depressed most of the damn time and can't blame him when there isn't shit to do.
>There isn't shit to do
Yeah, that happens when you play the game 10 hours, EVERY FRICKING DAY. Literal brainrot.
>When you play the game 10 hours a day and make it your job.
Fixed it for you. And agreed.
He's a NEET and makes jack shit for money, he's a leech on society.
At least he has a whole discord full of cat girl porn to jerk off with.
NOOOOO BUT A GAME MUST KEEP ME BUSY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY HOW CAN THIS BEEEE AND NORMAL CONTENT MUST ALSO ALWAYS CHALLENGE ME
Didn't this guy brag about having thousands and thousands of hours on FFXIV, after b***hing about how the game has no content.
wow might have more troons but it also has more content
2 hours of "content" every 8 months LOL
newbie here, so what y'all are saying is that I can get a party with 1 tank and 3 dps then press the unsync thing and queue the highest level dungeon and still get full XP? I was under the impression that you don't get XP if you unsync.
No, you just queue in as a full party, you don't mess up with any settings. Full party lets you ignore the party comp.
You can't unsync for full rewards but you can run dungeons with 1 tank and 3 dps or even 4 tanks if you want
Honestly a little worried about the "working on 2 other games" thing YoshIp mentioned. The team isn't exactly massive.
>EW was XIV's WoD
>Garrison included
>While they were working on only one(1) other game
It's owari da.
>EW was XIV's WoD
actually go back wowtroon
there is no moment, not a single moment during xiv, that compares to wow's lowest depths except maybe 1.0.
>not a single moment during xiv
>what are the past ~2 years
You need to drop the cult mentality bro.
>what are the past ~2 years
not remotely equivalent is what they were, wowtroon
>not remotely equivalent
Wdym, the only content you had was the current tier of savage and the ultimates, everything else was fricked. Even the extremes sucked ass, the last good one was barbs and that was a long while ago.
Ones the FF9 remake.
It's FF9 remake and FFT remaster
100% one is the ff9 remake in ff16's game engine, considering it's Sakaguchi's favourite FF game, that there are hints upon hints of FF9 with the Zidane, Garnet minions and ark Mount and Sakaguchi's close friendship with Yoshida, I would bet money on one of them being FF9.
>people who can't even clear fights with cheats accusing everyone who cleared of using cheats
many such cases
Is there a way to download 3rd party tools on my ps3 so I can raid?
I don't think EW was disastrous, but there's no denying that some corners were cut. Same with Shadowbringers, tbf, just different corners. And it's not weird to presume 16 was a big culprit.
With two games occupying their already tiny team on top of XIV, I feel like dark times are ahead. I'm not dooming or a doomer, but I am fearful. If I'm right, then Dawntrail might be the last time we get as much content as we're getting, before CS3 starts focusing full-time on those two other games.
