they never learn ultima or zeta flare, who cares if you can use fucking curaga or some other useless bitch spell. And class restrictions usually cuck them from wearing the best gear depending on the game.
Oh hello, you must be new to MMORPG meta.
It's to be ignored.
Only turboautistic sisterfucking retards from deep South care about meta.
RDM is fun, it has good aoe and is straight forward to play.
healers always like having them/summoners as res is very expensive.
Fuck Hyurs
Fuck Elezen
Fuck Miqote
Fuck Roe
Fuck Lala
Fuck Au Ra
Fuck Hrothgar
And fuck hats
3 hours. 2 clears in Titania ex. Who released the fucking shitters?
I wanna fuck a mithra wearing RDM gear bad
Is she okay?
That's not a stabbing knife.
People die when they are killed
Why did she kill?
You're kidding me right? BLM is insane right now. The best it has ever been. It is seriously stronger than it was back in ARR when it rendered SMN totally useless for the sheer power gap
Nigga How Are Red Mages Dps Even Real Just Switch To BLM Hahahaha
Aren't BLM terrible for progging?
pink haired girl kidnapped a little girl who was left behind from her mother. Pink hair girl was living in her dead bfs home with the kid and her friend saw that she kidnapped the girl. Snitches get stitches

how does soken keep doing it
Its because the mass majority of RDM players are terrible.

This was such a shit show. Even Mirai Nikki was better than it and I thought that was shit. Why do "weebs" have really shit taste? Is it just yuri fags?
>They're better than Black Mages in practically every way
Except damage.
I don't like them because they're a braindead job played by braindead retards. Also women. Women predominantly play RDM because it better suits their pea brains.
>They're better than Black Mages in practically every way
every way except DPS, the only way that matters
>Get back into the game after 1 year
>HUD got reset and now i have to spend 5 hours rearrange everything
wow thanks Yoshi
Also what is this Zone Numbers shit? Are we layering like WoW now?
I had a 72k xenoglossy crit today and it was more exciting than raising some idiot because my healer was busy.
>zone numbers
happens in new zones during expac launches
Newfag blasting through SB here, what makes BLM so good in ShB?
Why did they give titan a go-kart?
instances only stick around until the first 24 man comes out
this is the exact same way it was in SB. Would you rather areas have been so clogged at launch that you literally could not progress the MSQ npc?
>Anime posting
>Retard
>WoW refugee
I think you need to go back.
It is the big dick damage class. You cannot get any bigger damage numbers than a Black mage right now.
Uhhh he always had one, the fight is exactly like I remember
LOOK AT ME.
Are we talking about FF in general or just the MMO? In the real game red mages are almost always better.
>Rescued a RDM so they wouldn't get hit by doom again because they went in for their sword combo instead of doing mechanics
>They immediately bitch quit after the boss
Nope it’s the complete opposite and not only in FF14.
Red Mages were basically a tutorial class in 1 and just in general they were always inferior to Black Mages in almost every FF game. Hell they were pretty mediocre in Bravely Default.
THE king in DPS
They're not useless, just less than SMN
>less damage than SMN
>less mobile than SMN
>nine times out of ten you only need one raise, not 4 meaning verraise is only fringe useful
They're great at prog
Show?
Most seasonal anime is so fucking boring and generic that literally anything, no matter how good or bad, that breaks the mold will get talked up
it's basically just a supercharged version of what it was
single target flares and fouls, two foul stacks, qol changes out the ass, new aoe rotation is amazing
Sup bros. If there's any ascians bothering you, you just let me know.
People were raving it was anime of the decade.
Are weebs just retarded?
Women predominantly play ffxiv to begin with, parse tranny. It's not a hard game.
You obviously didn't play FF1, magic for damage was garbage; Red mages were outright superior because they could use all the relevant black and white mage buffs.
She only really had her hand over her mouth. Couldn't she have slipped out?
When will we be able to fuck Alphinaud?
Alisaie can get in if it make her feel better I don't care
hey bro there is one..but you might need a healer friend help dealing with him. have anyone in mind?
The real chads were always Blue Mages but Yoshi-lame decided to make them a joke just to spite people
You mean me, bro? Say no more, me and fairy, Ilbeos, will join.
Bro I think we could use a tank as well, I hate to ask so much but think you know where we could find one?
>og Titan was all about circle aoes and arena
>WoL imagines squares instead
>og Titan never moved from the spot the tank kept him
>he now jump and zooms all over
>almost all of his attacks have some delay, cause WoL remembers the ping issues
Titan traumatized him.
You cut throats user, not stab.
Heh, hiding in the darkness of my bros, within shadow's grasp, this is where I shall always be. I shall join.
Stabbing work just as well, honestly.
this one is shit compared to the other two
bro..
It's time to come home Ryne.
>the other two
>he thinks there are only two
So he's gonna appear later on right? His body just fucking disappears.
Don't mind him bro, I'll always love you
It still makes me laugh though.
>he just didn't want to watch another one of his lolis die
Literally did nothing wrong, he just wanted his girls to live.
What WAS this guy?
only until you learn the fight and don't need Verraise anymore

Innocence EX is easy with BLM assuming you don't get fucked with double tethers back to back.
The weak fear the strong so no
So are these the official power level rankings?
Ilbred > Thancred > Ran'jit > Power gap > Warrior of Light
Go to WoW faggot. ;)
uhhhhh have you ever read a fucking book, retard?
>Fantasia'd using the potion you get from the MSQ
>Regret it and want to change back

WHERE IS THE FUCKING TITANIA EX MOUNT
Fifteen runs in and I've still never seen it. Innocence however, three runs it and it drops twice and I win one of the rolls.
youtube.com
This is the peak raiding in the game so far
Pretty much. (you) only beat Ran'jit in Eulmore because Thancred weakened him already.
That's why you try out a new alt first you retard.
I dont know what any of this means, I'm too pretty

Is there anyone that picked the other option?

You getting lucky once doesn't change the 2% droprate.
if I'm in a titty weapon and the other tank isn't, yes.
>he never did titan extreme proper
You don't remember that during the EX fight? No one sees it anymore since you can just blow right passed it.
jesus christ
Yes because I always avoid meme responses. ||Except your clothes, your shoes, and your chocobo. I couldn't resist||
Is this just one attempt? Sorry I've never used ACT.
Every class except Ninja, Time Mage, Valkyrie and Samurai was useless in Bravelt Default because you could break the entire game into pieces with those classes so it's hardly a good comparison
>Friends are all new and haven't been able to clear either EX yet, got past add phase but then kept choking.

>Wanted to make multiple characters fulfilling different roles
>None of the MSQ or rewards are account-bound so you're basically starting over with each character
Kind of defeats the purpose of including more races doesn't it?
>Broeth, dost thou remember thy encounter with Titan? Remember his car he rodeth upon?
That's why I ended up making a single character. There's no real point on having multiple characters.
just fantasia lmao its only $10 don't be a poorfag goy
>*siip* yup, weight of the land with canadian servers, now that was a trial!
You can't namechange with a fantasia, so if you have a lore appropriate name it's more complicated.
>just don't stand in the circles LMAO
Yeah, truly deep and challenging raiding
WoW had more difficult raids 15 years ago
It attracts morons and on average does about 2-3k less dps than blm.
>Caring about lore friendly names
Not even devs care about this. They haven't released naming conventions for Hrothgar and Viera.
>whats the point of multiple races in an mmo if making alts is pointless
what
It's more than that, and no, molten core was not difficult at all, and ahn quiraj40 only required three parties of non-morons
15 years ago the only hard part about WoW raiding was the tard wrangling aspect.
raid rewards are locked weekly to your character so you can raid more with multiple characters so there is A benefit even if it isn't much.
Though, the only non-raiders I see who want to make alts are either RP trannies or WoWfugees. And both need to leave my game.
>Uhhh my character is a raen or they're from doma so it's perfectly fine for my name to be Kirito Strifesan.
Fuck these people so much.
This but XIV players can't see with their heads that far up their asses after playing babby's first mmo
>It's more than that
Yeah, there's the part where you move slightly because some little green shit comes out of the ground, and the part where you run in a big circle
I wish I could do this to other players.
I don't think there's a name, it's specific to that fight alone since it's Ultimate level content

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
EMET SELCH HELP ME
t. zoomer who's never played wow and only has memes to go on
What?
You're only required 1 or 2 tanks depending on the fight, 1 healer and the rest you fill with what you want depending on the fight.
You can solo tank solo heal certain fights in the game. The DF just pushes 2 tanks 2 healers 4 dps since it's the standard comp.
Good thinking, user. I also propose we delete SAM from the game. Fuck katanas.

LAHABREA, ANYONE, HE WANTS MORE OF THE SECRETS I WILLINGLY TOLD HIM LAST TIME HELP ME
but ive been playing since ARR and have been playing shadowbringers every single day?
2, 3 and 4 are pretty easy
1 has forced movement through 100% guaranteed targeted aoes which is annoying as fuck.
a lot of knockbacks, and surecast won't be up for all of them.
Could be worse.
So when streamer zoomers exhaust content in classic in a week, what will be your next buzzword excuse?
This, WoW is a braindead grindfest made for literal children and normgroid casuals.
Best part is how they expose themselves by looking at a highly coordinated fight and being unable to understand anything that's happening in it beyond "duhhh don't stand in bad" because their game never actually had any complex mechanics with high individual responsibility.
Outparsing bad DPS players isn't enough, so I also fuck their sisters.
Why does he even carry that fucking retarded thing to hold his 3 swords?
there's no need for them to spin
Can I fuck you?

No, but I'll trip and stomp on you for a while if you want.
LET ME USE THE SPIDERLILLY HAIR ORNAMENT FROM THE GARO HEALER SET FOR SOMETHING ELSE ALREADY
It charges his swords with aether because he can't do it himself.
Don't doubt his autism power levels.
SAM is good, but males shouldn't be allowed to play it, they can't even hold the sword right in iddle stance.
You don't understand. The katana looks really sharp up close.

I want a feo ul minion so bad.
Only the role with control over death can wear the spiderlily.
Please do.
kek this looks like something from ff11
Her minion is going to come from buying the soundtrack I bet
why are oblivionkeks so insecure about people not liking their zoomer avril song?
He means- why are tanks so homogenized that you can bring any tank to any encounter and suffer zero consequences because there are no mechanics that require a specific tank.
The same for healers- why are there no encounter specific mechanics that require one healer to be taken over another?
Same for DPS- why does Monk get to spend this entire expansion in the cuck shed because every encounter is going to use the same DPS lineup, once the optimal party formation is determined?
WoW wasn't afraid to throw fights at you that, if you didn't have a particular class or gear set, or have literally EIGHT FUCKING TANKS, you were just fucked and could only wipe.
FFXIV, you could make a party of two Paladins, two White Mages, and four fucking Dancers, and clear all content with zero difficulty.
But what if Zenos gets a female body? I say we ban them completely, just in case.
WHERE ARE YOU MY FRIEND?
God, WoW really does rot your brain.

I'm watching the mythic race and it's an absolute joke compared to that vid.

Sup bro, thanks for looking after my Shinryu for me.
Have you seen him fight with the katana, he sure is good fighting but it would work with any sword
Somebody translate this post
>it has less special effects so it's easier!!
this is the zoomer brain
>lala MCH weapons are dinky little baby caliber peashooters
W-what? You saying every sword can be a katana?
>Imagining a female Zenos that keeps saying "My enemy, my friend" to you with a glint in her eye
Uh. Um.
>every thread is a xiv vs wow thread
its all so tiresome bros.
The special effects are called mechanics, something wow fights are currently missing.
TL;DR Why does the game that makes leveling and gearing multiple jobs trivially easy the one most afraid to let any of those jobs have a chance to shine?
>50 hours
Nigga you can get a job from 1 to 70 in like two or three days, and that's not even playing full time. The major raids are 6 fucking months apart. You'll find the fucking time.
PLEASE DO
Because having fights where the devs go "okay you're not allowed to perform well on this, sorry" feels like fucking shit, how does this concept elude you?
>WoW wasn't afraid to throw fights at you that, if you didn't have a particular class or gear set, or have literally EIGHT FUCKING TANKS, you were just fucked and could only wipe.
Yeah, and they stopped because they realized having to gear EIGHT tanks for ONE fight is fucking stupid and a complete waste of time and gear.
Anything can be a katana if you bend it enough
wow has more mechanics, just because the markers aren't as flashy as your zoom zoom game doesn't make them non existant, if you tried raiding in wow you'd quit out of frustration because having to push buttons faster than every 2.5 seconds on a controller would probably melt your tranny brain
>tfw decided to finally do the Rathalos shit in XIV
>no one fucking runs him
>just want the Rathalos mount

well it's sort of like the pubg vs fortnite debate
pubg is an objectively better game but retarded zoomers like fortnite more because it requires less skill
yet the zoomers still talk shit about their retard simulator and act all uppity when people bite back
Because you're retarded if you don't realize that would lock certain jobs out of certain fights straight out. Your favorite job is DRK? Too bad the fight wants a PLD on this fight so fuck you if you want to play DRK and fuck you even more if you only geared/leveled DRK.
Let me imagine this...

What kind of sad attempt at lipsync was that?

>BRD not male

>the mechanics are literally exactly the fucking same except one has better graphics
why do you guys fight again? I'm just not seeing a difference
Why does this fight and the graphics look like some 90's game? It look so fucking bad. That's from early 2000s right?
user it's literally a 15 year old game

Can you summon this katana for me? pls
What I'm really curious about is how much of the population chose another option in Amaurot when they had the chance to quote Haurchefant.
>caring about graphics

Because what you're suggesting is quite possibly one of the WORST ways you can design encounters. It's not about player skill, it's not about performance, it's not even about fucking gear, it's about how many classes they've decided to sink countless hours into to level and gear. What is interesting about
>Want to play WAR? Too bad, only DRK works here
>Want to optimize this fight on literally any of the 10 dps? Sorry, we made it so only two function.

>tfw mch lala will never step on you

They're literally useless outside of being a buff bitch that isn't dead weight. They're only good for learning dualcast then switching to another job if the game allows it, or in games that don't, for being your haste/temper/etc slave

>Female get geahs' gear while males get Genjuro, Ver and Cagliostro gear
>he's dissatisfied there's only 4 bosses on .0 patch
This critic always comes back every single expac, there isn't much to do, raids don't have enough bosses.
In 3-4 months we have ultimate, the first eureka 2.0 tier, a new extreme primal and a possible BLU unlock. That's a fuckton of new content to do in 6 months. Sure if you're going to poopsock raids and clear it in a week it's boring af but if you're a midcore or even casual player this content will stretch you for a long time, mainly if you intend to pug your raiding.
>tfw cant decide between smn or blm
kill me now bros
Shut the fuck up, I'm gonna go shit out damage while you wait for someone to die so you can be helpful for 5 seconds.

1.0 was better graphically. its a shame people didn't give it a chance since they were slowly improving it
>Get blown off the platform on Ravana when he has 1% health left

Dont tease me
1.0 was much worse graphically, it didn't even had dynamic lighting. Better (looking but horribly optimized) models doesn't make up for the game lacking a feature that fucking Quake had
wow is objectively better than final fantasy fourteen
>what is raid damage
typical brainlet blm player
>no more preferred worlds in NA
I missed my chance at a fresh start bros...
What was the other one? I'm pretty sure I picked it but I can't recall.
BLM, SMN is deep in the cuckshed atm.
That's if the healer doesn't swiftcast res before.
keep seething Chang
>better graphically
yep and the rest of the game was shit
>get boss to 1%
>use superbolide
it's funny seeing healers freak out after they get lazy at low HP
Just cleared innocence EX for the first time, feels pretty good. That's both EX trials down, now I'm just gonna farm for accessories.
Something RDM doesn't have? Embolden is an absolute joke of a buff, you only bring RDM for raise spam on prog.
What's wrong with them?
classic will kill this game
>3 weeks into expansion
>already 0 content left to do
Or you can play a tank that would work perfectly fine without spending days grinding PotD, beast tribes, and running CM/Prae.
What's the point of Swiftcast on RDM? Swiftcasts can't trigger Doublecasts and you're already Doublecasting everything with a long cast time.
>Become mvp in the burn as BLM because the rest of the party were shitters
>what is raid damage
Yes RDM, what raid damage?
Gives you one extra long cast for free. You should be using it on CD whenever you don't already have a stone/thunder proc.
Really isn't one. Just like Lucid Dreaming on BLM.
Do you enjoy putting in twice the effort and pressing twice as many buttons to be 80% as effective as someone literally facerolling their keyboard playing another job?
If not don't touch SMN
>DRK, MNK
>SCH, SMN
if you need to run enough distance that you can't prep x-cast
potentially free verstone/verfire proc
Don't forget the new PVP as well
>enter dungeon
>immediately get petted
wat do?
Did you do the final role quest yet?
Did you leveled your crafters and gatherers?
Did you get boss fate items?
Seethe, Coupe, Dialate
>Mediocre damage, especially for the effort put in

Go on and explain what Swiftcast is useful for on RDM and LD on BLM then.
>People die when they are killed
Just because you're correct doesn't mean you're right.
It's useful for doing more damage, which is LITERALLY YOUR FUCKING JOB
/hug, then?
>RDM doing no damage
Why does yoshi hate them so much
I may be brainless but Estelle isn't, so don't be mean!
I like Red Mage because the flow of the rotation is good and it has high mobility.
Probably going to level Dancer too.
If I want to suffer I just play AST.
>go ahead and explain what is useful for
Gee user, I don't know. Thanks for further confirming that all RDM players are braindead retards though.
You've chased away the only thing you had left, user. Now you can't even satisfy your fetishes on the internet. Suffer in your isolation.
>Lucid Dreaming
>Resulting in more BLM damage
Not really.
>Swiftcast
So you sneak in what, a swiftcast veraero/thunder once a minute that results in you not getting a dualcast proc anyway?
Good job, user.
i'm a whm mage and have been doing ex for the past two weeks. first inno, then titania. i always had whm or sch co-healers. the one time i had a ast co-healer it was absolute fucking agony. i had to pull out all the stops just to keep everyone alive. it felt like i was healing alone. i legit started requesting that pf groups i join kick ast healers or left groups with them after that because holy fuck.
Swiftcast on RDM lets you either Swiftcast Veraero/thunder for free damage and mana, or Swiftcast a spell during a period of movement longer than what dualcast covers.
>want a +20 imbalance instead of hitting 80 so you'll hit 80 faster on your second rotation
>swc lets you start with +11 and potentially procs a base verspell for that +20 instantly
You probably don't even use acceleration on cd if you're asking this
So, If the tank pulls big and I'm ast and lightspeed is on cooldown ...what do I do? I don't know how to keep them up. Celestia Opposition is a shitty 60 potency regen on a 120 second cooldown and earthly star is nice but after it's gone then what?
I just like mch lala, they sound like a cool person.
whm main* god it's late
Good, keep the AST population low, that way we'll get buffed to kingdom come.
I also have WHM at 80 and I've seen a few good AST healers but most have not been very good.
>This is your RDM for tonight's savage run
I saw AOE, bullethell, meteors, puddles, maybe a tankbuster, and that's it. Nearly fell the fuck asleep while watching the video
lol
tfw baited everyone to give me RDM advice as I'm new.
kek, pretty much
You start casting 1-2 gravities and immediate have to start spamming Benefic II for them to not die.
Alt tab to shitpost YoshiP on the official forum because the tank is dying no matter what you do
Thanks user, I'm really enjoying this endgame content, I hope I've got what it takes to clear Savage when it comes out!
I don't dick about red mage, but yes, Lucid Dreaming is completely useless with black mage.
You switch to another job.
Synastry on the Tank makes Benefic I/II get a 40% bonus.
Swiftcast thunder/aero has been a higher potency gain than using jolt since the job came out. Not to mention you can get into combo faster with swift if you're 80/69
i don't even think it's a question of competency because one of my FC mates wanted to main the class and as soon as she hit 80 and finished MSQ she went back to re-level as WHM. it's that fucking bad.
She stabbed her though.
*tank still dies because syn + bene 2 is still n ot enough*
>raid damage
Oh you mean that thing Black Mage beats you in too?
Sorry you can't handle the facts, Rezslave, but don't worry you'll have a home on the progs of shitters who keep dying to mechanics.
>>that results in you not getting a dualcast proc anyway?
>Jolt+Aero/Thunder = 560 pot and 17 mana total, or 280 pot and 8.5 mana per GCD
>Fire/Stone+Aero/Thunder = 580 pot and 20 mana total, or 290 pot and 10 mana per GCD
>Swiftcast + Aero/thunder = 310 pot and 11 per GCD
Read your fucking tooltips, all math is available to you.
Pls no kill, just want to be friends and hug
But you didn't ask that, I asked that. And I asked it because I'm new to both RDM and casting in general. Obviously now I see that even at level 50 which is where I'm at, Swiftcasting a Veraero/Verthunder will deal more damage than a Jolt and possibly result in a proc. It basically eliminates a Jolt from existence in your flow, resulting in more overall damage.
Red Mages are cool.
Benefic II spam isn't enough to keep them alive..
The bonus still applies even if you're casting it on the tank?.
That's the Tank's fault then.
If they are dying under that constant healing they are doomed anyway.
Do it, kill him now.
bullshit, syn + bene2 is more than a whm spamming cure 2
Fuck off you shitty lalashit and your toothpick nerf gun
I see you've never played AST. Consider leveling it up.
That's a big tub
EMET NO, JUST SPARE MCH LALA
Yes, it doesn't say that so people dismiss it but it does.
Titania barely requires healing. Even earlier I healed titan just fine with a AST co healer.
kek just looked up malefic iv damage....
240
kek AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have AST at 74 and WHM at 80 and you are full of shit.
Collective Unconscious gives you DR and regen as well
you then DC for a minute if the tank didn't pull wall to wall
you clearly havent either, how hard is it to aspected benefic the tank and then bene2 him?
>en.wikipedia.org
Never going to watch this shit show. Why the fuck would she kill the person she's obsessed with.
>tranny pedophile game
>Dia alone does more than a Combust + a Malefic
oh nonononono
>captcha is selecting fire hydrants
I have all three healers at 80 and play with extremely good tanks. You are literally braindead if you think that syn + benefic 2 is enough to handle a big pull with a tank using CDs.
Go play the game, limsa AFK shitter.
based mch lala
yes but that's not my point, whm is the green dps class. i should be able to throw out a heal or two and continue keeping up dps. with the ast healer i couldn't do that, i was almost always healing and could barely keep my dps up.
>literally a toothpick
How can lalafags even be happy with that shit
>suspect responsible for the destruction of KyoAni
Then either you or the Tank is awful.
congrats you got to level 80 very hard. imagine ousting yourself as a shitter and admitting you cant even heal dungeons.
is she naked in that tub
I hope so
I can fall asleep playing WHM and practically never need to even bother with cure II during big pulls if I just space out holy for the stuns and weave assize/tetra/benediction in between.
When the tank pulls big as AST I keep them up for as long as lightspeed runs and then after that benefic II just isn't enough and they die...
Nah, you're just a retard that doesn't know how to play the game.
Who said it was hard to heal a dungeon? You're the fucking retard sitting here trying to say that an AST doesn't have to spam benfic 2 in a big pull. That is literally and factually wrong. Go back to ERPing in Limsa, retard.
Again, Titania barely requires healing. Just because that AST was shit it doesn't mean every AST is.
Why should AST have to floor MP spamming Benefic II when WHM gets to cast Holy for 95% of their GCDs and then GAIN DPS for healing because they just do afflatulence solace + assize + tetra or divine benis then go back to spamming holy? Holy also does more damage than Gravity? Yeah AST can keep the tank alive through a big pull by spamming all their shit but that's not sustainable thorugh an entire dungeon
>mfw all the week one and world first groups take Red Mages and Summoners over Black Mage no matter how high their damage is.
Dragoon-chad laughing at the incel Black Mages all the way, enjoy all the free time incoming to shit post even more while the raiders prog.
>moving the goalposts from "syn and bene2 won't cut it" to "you have to spam bene2"
Nice I like it.
What helm is that?
There are a lot of chunkier models that look just fine. I tend to use the Garo pistol more than this revolver.
pvp achievement one
Week 1 prog will probably be triple melee on everything but Titan
>all these AST seething
A lot of ASTs are pretty bad, I think. I dicked around as AST in 4.3, but I never liked the job. I always thought it was boring. And yet I got a 99 parse on Susanoo. It was at that moment that I realized something was terribly wrong with most ASTs.
Wow, who would've guessed that jobs aren't as homogenized like spergs thought.
mch lala what server are you on? can we be friends?
Does the scene in the trailer for Shadowbringers actually happen? Who is it depicting? Arbert or the WoL?
lala mch poster is the best poster in a while
>Petrified
>Floating up in the air
That's not..
no one smart is giving up the 1% damage buff to have triple melee
>g-g-goalposts
You do realize more than one person can respond to any post in this thread? Fucking moron.
BLM is terrible for prog, who'd have guessed.
>AST is dumbed down, boring and bad now
>WHM is mostly the same except improved since it's literally impossible to fuck a lilies rework
yeah haha who would have thought!
Wow, who would have guessed that the whiniest job at the end of the last expac would get overbuffed to the point of being braindead and fundamentally broken to the point where you're having the PLD spot heal because it's a DPS gain?????
I'm at 2208 Craft and 2124 CTRL, would that be good enough for recipe crafting?
nah you cant switch jobs mid combat so
Oh fuck I forgot that was a thing
bruh, look at this dude.
WHM was already braindead
Except they objectively are, it's just that one is just bad at everything
every ast is shit because the class is fundamentally broken, and the add phases where titania requires lots of healing but even moreso when you're effectively healing alone. holy shit you cannot be this retarded.
WoL, duh. He changes jobs and slays a Lightwarden, when Ardbert could do neither of those things.
>Wow who would have guessed AST is shit
ftfy
I am on Louisoix. It's not really worth your time coming here.
This is why we don't have Astberd.
Which job are you talking about? SCH? DRK? WAR? MCH? MNK? AST? WHM?
Yeah which is why it's quite the accomplishment making it even more braindead than it already was, when there was literally NOTHING wrong with WHM at the end of Shadowbringers. It was exactly where it should be, slightly less optimal than the other two healers at high level play but more optimal in PUG groups due to being the easy mode healer
I'm on omega though
>DRK
>WAR
>MCH
>MNK
None of those jobs were buffed
>AST
This job was nerfed into the ground
>WHM
literally buffed so hard that's it's strictly the best job in the game
Makes sense, sure. I was just wondering what the blast of darkness is, but I guess that's just metaphorical.
It's weaker than the other 2 healers but i've never had issues co healing with decent ASTs since ShB came out.
war and sch are objectively the whiniest jobs
Then head to Loui, and come to plot 51, 15th ward, Lavender beds
Nah they stopped whining in Stormblood after they were fixed
WHMs continued whining throughout all of Stormblood in spite of never really needing any buffs for the entire duration of the expansion other than the aggro fix
I mean, killing Astrologian definitely did the deed in killing the Stormblood party-buff meta like they wanted to do.
ast should be weaker since its a jack of all trades as well as providing the raid dps boost it does. proof me wrong. before they were literally whm but better. now they are in the right place.
>MCH
>wasn't buffed
you're a goddamn moron
AST got cut into the fucking ground
>1k dps below AST and SCH
>lily gauge completely useless
>no reason to play WHM at all
>didn't need buffs
Stop shitposting just for the sake of it user.
If they had competitive damage they'd be a no brainer in all content for the utility and massive margin of error.
>they stopped whining
>implying SCH and WAR's ever stop whining
it was buffed in terms of being less ass cancer to play, but it's actually worse now since it's now ranged samurai but with even lower personal DPS
Stay mad as you clear week 12 like a casual
>WHMs continued whining throughout all of Stormblood
Nah m8 WHM was fine outside of Plenary Indulgence being fucking useless and lilies having an underwhelming implementation. The first problem got fixed in the later patches by vastly increasing the amount of time a Confession stack lasted for and the latter wasn't fixable without completely replacing lilies and how they worked. Those clenched teeth you're lying through betray your seething
Not that guy but it's hard to call MCH "buffed" on account of it being a functionally completely different class now.
i dont get it
But why would I? Run Red Mage until I'm comfortable with how things work and where I should be standing, then swap to Black Mage. Or are you one of those "morons" I've heard so much about that think you can only play one job?
Something that RDM barely has? And it's rDPS doesn't compete with BLM's personal DPS just like how WHM and AST are fairing right now.
You forgot the part where NIN was killed as well, DNC is even worse, and DRG is going to get either litany or it's personal damage nerfed before savage
AST dps is fine, it's the heal potency that feels awful in dungeons
WHM is the easy mode crutch healer for bad players, as a result, it gets worse results in the hands of a good player. There's literally nothing wrong with that design philosophy. Nobody excluded WHM from groups other than speedkill groups and nobody who is doing speedkills would want to play WHM even if it had parity with the other two jobs (which it basically did, it just didn't contribute to rDPS which is irrelevant in PUGs)
The best caster for prog is one that can flex and play any job in the role effectively because you might need more DPS or raises depending on the fight.
Real talk, Afflatus Rapture needs a buff. It feels dumb to use.
>WHM are more bitchy then WAR and SCH
So which of the latter do you play? Because no one outside of WAR's and SCH believes that.
>was garbage before
>is not garbage now
pretty sure that's the literal definition of a buff
You have no idea how hard mythic KJ was, literally don't comment if you don't know.
GET ON FUCKERS, WE'RE MAKING OVERDEWELLERS BOW DOWN.
Oh knock that cock out of your mouth
>it's a completely different job so it can't be better or worse
The fuck are you on?
lilies were useless
honestly, WHM is fine in how it plays and just needs small potency nerfs right now
AST and SCH were in good spots at the end of SB and fucked over the coals for no reason. Now SCH offense is one button. Now AST no longer has celestial opposition extensions or even the stun, no longer has time dilation, the cards aren't fun and you're going to be sitting on your ass for 3 minutes using minor arcana every time because between sleeve draw and 3 redraw stacks, you can get every seal in ~10 seconds and divination has a 180 second cooldown for no fucking reason. AST needs buffs out the ass.SCH just needs changes to make it more fun, but it doesn't actually need to be buffed because it has good heal throughput.
but MCH still has a niche because of the 1% damage buff for each role, while SAM is fighting with MNK for the fourth DPS spot.
Just like nobody excluded AST or SCH. The issue is that SB WHM played like shit, your job gimmick played against the job and you were underperforming compared to AST and SCH no matter how good you played.
Only retards thought WHM was fine on SB just because it could heal content.
And in spite of lilies being fucking nothing there was still no reason not to bring a WHM to anything unless you were doing speedkills, in which case, nobody would ever think of bringing an easy mode lower risk lower reward type of job anyway. There's LITERALLY nothing wrong with a job being easier and as a result getting worse results at top level play, since top level players aren't missing anything by not being able to play it because they wouldn't want an easy mode job anyway. Instead you retarded WHM brainlet casuals complained about WHM being bad in a setting that you will literally never play in, and now it's not only th easiest job in the history of the game, but also the objective best healer that has ever existed in the game, even better than HW SCH
I think its supposed to be the first Holminster Switch boss
t. SCH imagining anyone else having complete meltdowns with the quality of their job
AST went from fun to abysmal under the shed tier and most people who played it still haven't whined as much as you fags have about your DPS buttons
How is WHM more easy mode than SCH right now? I have so many oGCDs that I have to use sacred soil nearly on CD because there's nothing else to spend my stacks on, do casuals not use oGCDs?
Genuine question, the only healer I've done the current ex fights on is SCH.
Hit 80 and got clears on both in the same day. Your friends suck and pf has some people who aren't retarded
Now look at this.
This thread right now.
>ut MCH still has a niche because of the 1% damage buff for each role,
Not really since BRD and DNC are still both better.
>while SAM is fighting with MNK for the fourth DPS slot
Not really, it's fighting with literally every job since it's worse than literally every other job, not just MNK. If anything it's competing with BLM since that's the other 0 utility high damage job, and it's just better than SAM at that
What the hell planet do you live on that WHM performed worse in the hands of a better player?
You fags over exaggerate everything.
In the land of people who aren't retards? Are you seriously going to argue that WHM was better than SCH or AST in the hands of a good player?
Are you too retarded to understand the phrase "apples and oranges", or did you just drop out of kindergarten?
This is exactly what I'm doing. I'll be a bit more mobile as RDM to learn where casting safe zones would be, then when I've got everything memorized and people stop dying as much I switch over to BLM and start dropping bombs. It's really not that complex.
Just like incessantly whining WHM retards that exaggerated their job being LITERALLY USELESS because speedrun groups didn't bring it even though it was still the easiest healer to play and was never excluded from anything but speedruns
its never felt so right, to be white
Look at this, the two unhappiest jobs are AST and SCH
>AST
Has a fucking reason to be there are objectively the worst healer right now in terms of DPS and heals and are literally cucked from their SB self
>SCH
Has no reason to bitch because they are still the healer with the most demand, and the most free buttons, and oGCD's. But because they lost two DPS buttons it's the end of the world, you guys are the whiniest cunts on the planet Christ.
Haven't kept track of hardcore raiding. Historically how strictly have XIV's world first clears adhered to the popular party meta?
Stop being nitpicky.
MCH, performance wise, is a near identical place to where it was in SB. The only thing that changed is how its gameplay flows, which is exactly why I said you can't call it a buff, you fucking retard.
And did you drop out of preschool? IT'S THE SAME FUCKING JOB just now it does more damage and is less ass to fucking play. Keep moving the goal post you mouth breather.
SCH are the WAR and MNK of healers. Whiny faggots who don't deserve anything
You're doing it again. wtf is wrong with you.
k dps below AST and SCH
Try 100 DPS, and that's only because better players were playing AST and SCH and as such getting better results with them. Also you still failed to address the fact that a job with a lower skill floor and ceiling should be performing worse than ones with higher skill floors and higher skill ceilings.
Not like this BLM bros...
Whats the second most noob job for my gf to try and play? Right now she is 64 WHM
bros im worried about this ast sperg, hes gonna blow a vein soon
DNC, your main combo is 2 buttons then you press the glowy buttons if they start to glow after that.
Probably red mage, maybe bard now that they've gotten rid of some of the busywork
It wouldn't be Yea Forums if people didn't act like melodramatic teenaged girls over video games.
RDM because high level play is only like .1k extra dps
Probably because SCH had its identity gutted and literally everything that anyone played it for removed from the game. So now it's just "the shield healer" when shields were the least interesting part of the job before. I don't play SCH though so I don't really know. People are going to complain if their job plays like garbage even if it's better now. MNK is better than it's ever been at the launch of an expansion and nobody wants to play it because it feels like playing in a garbage dump compared to how it played in every other expansion and they somehow managed to make it even more counterintuitive and clunky to learn than the TK rotation was
>the job with raid buffs have the weakest personal dps
And that's how it should be. Let's not forget alphascape shall we?
SB AST was like NIN with SAM dps.
>forgetting cards
Go look at alphascape parses with this xivrdps.com
>IT'S THE SAME FUCKING JOB
Except it isn't, just like how SB MCH was a completely different job from HW.
>Just now it does more damage
Except it doesn't. It got a marginal personal DPS increase in exchange for losing ALL raid utility. MCH is in the exact same spot it was for SB, you just think its better because it feels better to play. Go look up statistics before you get uppity and make yourself look like a spastic autist.
AAAAAAHHHHH THANCRED HELP HE HAS A PET SNAKE
aren't the people who play wow so retarded that they use addons to play the game for them?
call HBO and tell em to do a miniseries on AST and SCHs havent seen this big of a meltdown since 1986
Again, there's no reason WHM should be anywhere near SCH or AST in terms of rDPS because the job IS LITERALLY DESIGNED TO BE EASY MODE.
when will MNK finally getting some buffs?
I cannot be that SAM is doing 3/4 of my damage.
It should be 1/2 of it.
>lost one DOT, AOE is the same just doesn't give a DOT, and bane
>Identity gutted
You're right you really don't know.
>afk healer is a legitimate identity, why make the job about the one thing it has more tools revolving around?
There isn't a single WoW player that raids without DBM
>it feels better to play
Literally all that matters. Play what's fun and stop being a fag.
>SAM
>RDM
>WAR (it has like 3 things to do right now)
>DNC
Rarely, if ever. "Because I like it" tends to dominate the attitude of world-first groups and, in general, statics. Hell, a party attempting to enforce the speedrun-meta in general is already a bad sign, typically attempting to compensate lack of skill or confidence in a clear by adhering to optimized party comp.
The golden rule is that if somebody tries to tell you which job to play or which jobs you should be playing in FFXIV, they're a sperg.
kek do you fags really thing sch and ast are that hard? especially with the shadowbringers changes. kek absolute brainlet
LOL what is this shit?
>LITERALLY DESIGNED TO BE EASY MODE.
Like the other 2 healers you mongoloid. Stop pretending mashing broil is harder than mashing glare or mashing malefic
You can AFk heal casual content with every healer you fucking retard. Playing SCH for real, and not how a DPS main who has never touched a healer thinks a healer plays, in real content, was about multitasking to micromanage your fairy while DPSing and communicating with your cohealer to optimize both of your GCDs to get as much healing done as possible. I bet you think SCH players used more energy drains the more they learned the fight too, you retard
Except the identity has always been Fairy shit and shields? user you might need to go to bed.
what to play next Yea Forums
SAM or RDM?
>All these parse trannies bitching about numbers that don't matter
Play what's fun, everything clears content. You won't be world first, and neither will any of these meta humping faggots.
We are talking about Stormblood you brainlet white mage
That's cool and all, but the entire reply chain was about which classes got buffed, not which are fun to play, so feel free to not reply unless you have something less retarded and unwanted to add.
I remember being told it was mandatory to have if I wanted to come on raids back in Cata.
NOOOOO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE WOULDN'T LET ME PLAY WHITE MAGE IN A PARSE RUN SO THE JOB WAS GARBAGE!!!!!! NERF AST THEIR CARDS ARE TOO GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAA
I am new to this game. Can I just play a class if they look cool?
this desu, SAM is fucking kino to play regardless of the numbers
>living in the past
your time is over ASTcuck get over it. bow down to the WHMchads. maybe ill let you in my PF

RDM for the waifu
>communicating with cohealer
>nigga i'm gonna use indom don't worry about healing
so hard
Yep.
embrace the way of the sword my brother.
Yes, unless that job is AST. Every other job can easily do everything in the game, some are just better at others, and not even by that much except WHM or GNB
When this bullshit spills into PF and people lock jobs based on it, it becomes a shitshow.
t. DPS main who has never touched healing
holy shit lmao, what has gotten into these AST players? did the patch with zero meaningful changes fry their brains?
Do SCHfags really think their "identity" was tied to a couple of extra DoTs?
SAM is more fun the RDM but RDM got better changes, getting SAM to 80 was the biggest wet bang I've experienced in the past few months.
I can't tell who's trolling who between people saying AST literally can't heal and people saying it can.
Which are the trolls here?
nigga I don't want to slap the earth repeatedly

The only thing you communicate is oGCD healing.
Tell my SCH/WHM "my Earthly star/CU can handle this" etc.
Of course, CU can't handle shit now.
XIV is insanely slow to start (ARR is JRPG shlock and has 100 quests between the end of 2.0 and the beginning of 3.0) but the very moment you hit Heavensward and beyond it's gooooooood.

Trace the trailer WoL's job-journey to get the best out of each expac. Hit up Heavensward as Dragoon you get a good amount of flavor text and it's thematically the most important possible job to the expac and then once you hit Stormblood go through it as SAM. Legit you can skip Monk, none of the Ala Mhigan portion of the expac refers to it at all, even the Hingan/Doman portion of Stormblood almost never refers to your being a Samurai.

Best O12S speedrun pre echo
SCH and AST both at 5.2k dps.
Nothing pointed out WHM was under performing compared to AST and SCH.
kek the only thing they didnt already do with the fairy was letting it embrace, so they just lost an ability basically, one that most of the time they macrod to adlo
>It's shit on purpose!
Thank god nobody on Yea Forums has any input on games, jesus christ.
youtu.be
The melee/nuke combo is satisfying but building up to it can be boring.
you will still be letting an AST in because they provide more dps than a WHM stil lollllllll
Quick Yea Forums, what do i do with this cat?
Yes, that's fine for a job that isn't intended to be used in high level play. You're literally sitting here complaining that a tricycle can't win a race against a dragster as if that's a problem and calling for the dev to replace all dragsters with tricycles.
he's not wrong though
SCH mains are desperate to make it sound like reapplying dots and putting down shadow flare was hard huh? Nigga you're reapplying dots don't pretend that shit is hard, 99.9% of the dots in this game can be kept with 100% uptime at the click of one key.
The deal with Red Mage is this:
1. Versatility early on, can cover what is needed as situations arise.
2. Great Abilities and Skills for Cross-Classing, betweed Red Magic usually still having utility spells and Cheap ones (because they are Low Level) to help something like Summoner that generally only have Hard hitting and expensive magic, and that is not getting started on Dual-Cast.
But generally they are supplementary, you put the skills they learn on something "better", as for XIV, the answer is quite simply "Muh DEEPS", Master of None hits them hard since they lack as much due their "Utility", but the other "Utility" classes do the Utility better too.
As a Solo Content class it is supposedly rather competent though. plenty of toys to help with mechanics when soloing old fights and such.
>10% damage for 15 seconds every three minutes

Bro I'm sorry
>Yes, that's fine for a job that isn't intended to be used in high level play

Yeah and half of that doesn't exist anymore.
>b-but the fairy i still there
The fairy is a HoT and generic off GCD heals.
he's a whiny faggot though and that automatically invalidates him
>Yes, that's fine for a job that isn't intended to be used in high level play.
Are you retarded? Where the fuck is cure III meant to be used if not on high level play?
MAKE NEW THREADU FINARU FANTARY SAN
Yeah, thank you for proving that SHB SCH is far more braindead and unsatisfying than SCH was in heavensward and even Stormblood
Red Mage is stylish as all hell if nothing else, but keep in mind you will need to be level 50 on another job first before you can access it.
He's still not wrong tho.
So the exact same shit it always was?
Its not even 10%
the "whiny faggot" part trumps that, times a million no takebacks
No because the literal entire thing that made the fairy unique (heals that could be used mid-cast essentially meaning you controlled two things at once) was completely removed. Thank you for proving that you literally never touched pre-SHB Scholar though
>Every single speedkill is WHM/SCH
>Top Innocence speedkill is fucking DOUBLE WHM
bros nobody tell him
So all WHMs are invalidated too? Doesn't that also invalidate you?
>fairy still casts the heals
>seraph
>shields
Ya lost nothing, god I fucking hate SCH's literally all of you. You've been objectively the best healer since 2.2 but you fuckers just can't stop whining.
I feel like even tapping the glowy buttons and moving at the same time might be too stressful for her. We’ll see I guess
I bet you think Fray isn't just a generic DoT too.
whiny faggot detected
WHM have Healers AND Tanks seething.
Well since we're talking about how satisfied people are with how the job plays, I think it's safe to assume players who have played the job more than once are more of an authority than you, a player who has literally never touched the job and doesn't even know how it functioned prior to shadowbringers
No Fray is, I don't know where this is coming from or who this is helping but Fray is a glorified dot. Now please keep bitching about your job like you always have.
user every player character is just another DoT
Don't worry user, just pray that your WHM crutch doesn't get nerfed before savage and you might be able to pug Eden Prime if a good SCH joins to carry you!
Kill it you damn potato. The answer is always kill it.
So you agree with me that the fair ywas basically removed then? because if Fray is a DoT, then the fairy is no longer a fairy and is just a fancy HoT + some generic oGCD healing skills.
>but the other "Utility" classes do the Utility better too.
Depends on what you define as "utility", most MUH DEEPS types of player refusing to acknowledge Red Mage's utility is excellent because it's not related to boosting other players' damage. Red Mage shines as a supporter since it's still a cross between Black Mage and White Mage, with its utility falling under White Mage. It can heal and revive, and to that end it's a hell of a lot better than Summoner and its carryover res and Physick.
It's excellent as a soloer for old content like you mention, since it can DPS and heal itself. Often it was as competent as the tanks at staying alive, when I went through old Heavensward dungeons solo, trading defense for attack-power.
uhhh you disagree with me that means you're a whm lmao lmao lmao get dabbed on, good fucking god user get a new trick you pony
>Indom
>not your new and improved Sacred Soil
>WHM crutch
>when SCH is a better healer than WHM now in ShB
Holy fuck SCHs are S E E T H I N G
So like it was then? Since the fairy buttons where just on a different hot bar? This is not new to ShB, just because the came on the pet hotbar didn't change what they were.
Well yeah because only WHM players would seriously be crying about other healers asking for buffs since they have a pathological fear of being barred from speedkill groups they'd never be good or autistic enough to join anyway. I seriously hope you aren't actually trying to say you're a DPS cuck who's complaining about jobs that do more than mash their keyboard not being satisfied
>good SCH carrying a PF group
Every good SCH left is already in a static since so many people seemed to quit the job.
>So like it was then?
So Fray isn't a generic DoT now? Make up your mind, user.
what did i just say about you being a one-trick pony
user stop. It's really, really obvious you never even touched Scholar before shadowbringers. Stop making a fool of yourself
Don't worry user, you'll get your carry someday.
SCHs are just playing WHM now.
>I don't play SCH though so I don't really know.
This is my favorite post in this thread.
The aboslute state of AST.
You don't have to play a job to make a comment about what other people are saying about the job, user.
Clearly not. Do those people play SCH by some bizarre chance?
If this thread has proven anything this clearly isn't a good thing.
This whole conversation started because some user said he felt more pressured at healing because he had an AST co healer.
Well yeah, 90% of the people complaining about SCH players don't even know how the fairy worked
I'm just gonna sit cozy in my tank chair and let the healers fucking self destruct on one another. I feel like their the most volatile out of all the roles.
I'm still playing SCH. The healing role is kind of fucked right now, I'm not expecting it to stand when savage releases. It's like pre-Omega Stormblood where double PLD was the best tank comp, it's going to change.
You'd be surprised how many parties are walled off by DPS requirements rather than mechanics. A good BLM can carry a party's DPS over thresholds and be the sole reason they win.
Blame yoship and his inability of balancing healers.
I'm more disappointed in losing the differentiation between Eos and Selene than the fairy skills becoming generic oGCDs.
Y'all know they'll probably throw around buffs and nerfs left, right, and center for the healers when the savage patch drops. Quit yer bitching until then, then keep bitching or gloating.
WHM's heals are super powerful, they don't need to be weaving oGCDs
redpill me on RDM bros
Dps chair best chair. Tanks and healers always arguing which flavor is best and shit, all we got is monks screaming about whether they belong in the shack or not.
It's a good prog job and they have an actual AOE rotation now. It's fun.
WHM healing is strong, there's no doubt in that. The issue is that
1 - it consumes a gcd which lowers WHM dps
2 - is usually more than needed since healing is normally balanced not thinking of WHM.
Can you imagine if a raid was balanced with cure III in mind? SCH and AST would be fucked to heal that.
Great prog job but loses some usefulness after prog, it's fun to me but I know fun is the most subjective thing on the planet so give it a shot if you want.
Are NIN's ok? I feel like they got the worst of it, MNK has some serious autism but is at least in the top 4 for DPS. NIN has serious autism and triple weaving but have to fight to stay above dancer.
So which class or job is the strongest lorewise?
>Using titan again
They're truly out of ideas
BLM prob
>1 - it consumes a gcd which lowers WHM dps
This is irrelevant because they're instant cast so you can just use them during movement to effectively only lose 120 potency (or lose no potency if you have a buffed Dia up)
>2 - is usually more than needed since healing is normally balanced not thinking of WHM.
But this is what makes it so good since you basically never have to actually use a GCD healing. yes the same applies to SCH but they're also fucking broken, and besides even SCH is harder to play than WHM right now
WHM/BLM
They're the only jobs responsible for a calamity.
Cure III is actually pretty bad compared to just using plenary afflatus aoe heal because of the shit range.
BLM and WHM unironically, literally caused some calamities by making imbalances in the aether.
>Emet obliterated cat lad with a fucking revolver.
Mechanist.
GCD is consumed anyways, it doesn't matter if their cast is instant or not.
DRG.
Exhibit A: Estinien.
That's why I chose drg and I've been having a good time
Except WHM loses less than SCH from movement.
Cure 3 with Plenary is the strongest single target gcd heal
Hey bros know what it would be funny?
What if we dropped a voidsent inside nym and turned every SCH asshole into a green fish?
Ruin II. SCH loses 80 potency if it has to move. WHM loses 180.
>tfw main the botton 3 jobs
>SCH is boring, rotation is dull, critlo nerf, pet micromanagenent gone, and fairy feels half assed more than ever
>AST feels weaker than before and I miss the cards having specialized buffs, AoE stun, buff time extensions, on the fly decision making
>MNK makes me unironically miss TK rotation, not even BRD has crit procs anymore, lost OGCDs and GL gains from tackle, RoF still slows you down
That's fucking hysterical, I'm all for it. Once we're done with that let's go spitroast Shatotto.
user it's ok those jobs aren't holding you hostage, let it go and find something more fun your family is worried for you.
