Depends on what you mean, if we veer into speculation territory then given that being a sundered soul of a former Ascian and having Echo powers seems to have a strong (but not totally confirmed?) correlation, then Resonance requiring the sacrifice of others to give one person an 'artificial Echo' suddenly gets instantly understandable.

Its simple.

Elidibus is the one who summonned Hydelayn, but he regrets it now as it went in a different direction than he thought

given how strong her connection is, I wouldn't be surprised is Minfilia was the one to actually summon Hydaelin. Still 50/50 on whether ancient WoL joined the group that summoned Hydaelin or stayed neutral in that conflict

Issue I have with Verraise is that the only time it's ever useful is when a good team somehow massively fucks ups so when you rez everyone who dies you're still ahead in dps. DPS check is pretty damn tight and even 1 death is pretty brutal unless everyone is like 90+ percentile. Otherwise Swiftcast + rez from healers is enough. It's great for shit like hunts and I assume it'll be good for 24 man but definitely feels underwhelming for raids

pound MSQ and ignore leveling alts or DoH/L jobs until you have one single 80

MSQ is basically a free ride to 80 for a single job and from there you can collect relevant tomes for gear and do new raids as they hit which is the high point of the game because no one knows what the fuck they’re doing. Once you have an 80, then you can go back and waste time leveling other jobs or crafters/gatherer or anything you want, really.

Attached: 1478755418418.jpg (1308x1636, 337K)

I just started yesterday and am still sub lvl20. I don't like my starting job, is it too late to change if I'm just trying to jam my way through the story or will it not take to long to catch myself back up?

a lot of things in the game don't need to be spread across multiple buttons because they are practically never available at the same time. in fact, you use them in a sequence
they've shown that they can work this out with nastrond and cards, but the rest are still a big question mark

It's not too late to change. Palace of the dead unlocks at level 17, so you could chip away at that to level an alt job really easy. (you have to progress halfway through it before the exp is worthwhile)

Tsubame-gaeshi needs a separate button to show its cooldown.

Why the fuck are they doing a maintenance for an irrelevant "patch" with literally nothing in it

So realistically, what new jobs could they add to the game? Not talking about new gameplay mechanics or styles that could be added, but of the core fanservice FF jobs what's actually left?
From FFV we have
>Beastmaster (if added it will be limited, I guarantee it)
>Geomancer
>Mime (probably can't be done without a massive overhaul)
>Chemist
From XI there's
>Puppetmaster
>Corsair (not likely there's already a job with a gun)
>Rune Fencer (not likely since DRK already falls into the tank with magical energy niche)
Tactics has essentially the same jobs left over as V, so what could they realistically add to the game from a previous entry?
If they even add a new job next expansion, that is.

>and possibly the moon

Grab another job you’re interested in and spam leves and that should get you to 20 easy. Everything you pick is going to be boring until at least 50, if not 60 though. The game just has boring leveling in general.

I paid one thousand dollars for a super secret shota viera mod that no one else will ever see.

>deliberately downplay utility's importance for higher numbers
Are you retarded? We have the numbers. Utility is completely useless in 5.0 to the point that selfish DPS are objectively bringing more overall rDPS for the party through sheer pDPS alone. Why are you still stuck on stormblood?

DRK is tolerable just because TBN is fun, but they really gutted everything for everything but PLD, and I always found PLD to be boring anyway.

some potency buffs for NIN is all I know of.

It really doesn't matter that much anymore, most people use the Freelancer option since it's defaulted to on. You're going to get loads of people who have no idea what they're doing and people who just want to DM no matter what GC you're with. Though I could see there being some DCs that have premade groups stacking Mael, it's probably not a constant issue.

Frontline mostly just depends on whether 3rd place is retarded (which is most of the time) and drags down 2nd, or actually targets 1st like they should. It's a very random mode, though if you're specifically aiming for wins 8v8v8 Secure is by far the least random.

>they thanked the OF

There were 2 balance patches in SB before 4.1 but after savage.
Yoshi said something about some potency tweaks, but major changes will happen in 5.1.

>Viking
Yeah good luck with that. They are already adding hammers to WAR's arsenal, they'll never add a Hammer wielding job. inb4 it wouldn't use hammer; what else would it use?

I still need to grind 4 more classes before 5.1. I want the Makai Master title dammit!

I know I’m not getting any of the healer stuff. I’m get monk, ninja, dark knight and maybe warrior.

The age of RDM will soon be upon us. Once we receive our well-deserved potency buffs, FFXIV will finally see our true power.

Mystic knight should be a tank job. Or it should've been, very small chance of it ever getting in the game.

geomancer already has established lore so its the most likely job to be added

Just what the game needs, another underpowered caster for people to shit on for not playing BLM

Most sane people don’t do that.

Isn't RDM actually in a pretty decent place right now? Do almost as much damage as SMN as max (only about 1k less iirc) but with far less carpal tunnel

Attached: 1566763691785.jpg (600x771, 70K)

This faggot shows up in every thread to whine about BLM, good lord

1k is a fuckload less damage and summoner itself is weak as fuck compared to the top 3 which makes RDM even more pathetic. Doing 1000 less DPS than a weak job is not "in a good spot." RDM is the second weakest DPS in the game.

For what RDM does it’s in a fine spot

What the fuck? No not even close. RDM is weak as fuck and can barely be justified to bring to any party. Are you one of those faggots who think RDM should only raise? Fuck off

RDM is in a fine spot.

Friendly reminder that the difference between top tier BLM and RDM is like 4k DPS.. RDM does like 40% as much damage as a BLM. A single fire 4 is stronger than verflare and verholy and about as strong as RDMs most powerful spell

You bring RDM into prog since it's the fastest rezzer and can spare the mp in prog to raise. Then you swap to BLM for the clear/farm.

What is this cherry picked bullshit

your game dies in 3 hours.

If we ever get another healer, I really hope it's chemist or some other non-magic job. At this point they all just blend into each other.

Attached: chemist_throw_item.jpg (800x640, 100K)

That is not how jobs should be designed. You shouldn't be forced to switch off the job you like just to do respectable damage.

I play BLM too retard and it ain't hard. Get off your high horse.

IMO the only likely candidates at this point are Geomancer, Chemist, or some original job like Astrologian. Most other potential jobs either have large amounts of thematic overlap with existing jobs, are already flagged for the limited job system, or just don't have much support/interest.

In the Gamerescape media tour interview with Yoshi P they asked him about the criteria for choosing new jobs and he said they have three criteria:
>DPS jobs are favoured because they are more popular, but they also consider role balance and community demand.
>How marketable is the job? Basically is the job "cool" enough to be put on all the promo material to help sell the expansion? Usually means a melee sword-wielding job. e.g. Gunbreaker, Samurai
>Player requests. They keep a ranked list of the most requested jobs and often refer to that when choosing which jobs to add next.

I feel as though the game is currently only planned out to the 7.X series and they don't have any real idea of what will happen beyond that. They may scale down updates/expansions or put the game into maintenance like XI. But either way I don't see XIV getting more than 4 more jobs, and imo 3 is more likely to bring it to an even 20. We will definitely get 1 more healer, and I believe any remaining new jobs will all be DPS, no new tanks.

Every class is perfectly viable and this autistic elitism is not born of the intention to clear but the intention to pad out their trannylogs.

You said RDM can't be justified to be brought into parties yet they are clearly a valuable class to have when you're going through the tier. Also you should look into having your role jobs and not limit yourself, otherwise you'll end up like AST mains without SCH/WHM who are locked out of E4S because yes, the job is undertuned and they will hopefully address it. And it's not like people are locking out RDM from raids anyway.

Stopping at level 99 seems about right. So maybe two more expansions

I don't know, what really is there left besides wrapping up Garlemald? Good writing aside, this was still functionally a side-story. They can keep making up filler all they want but we've reached the point where anything but the main event is just a distraction, and anything after will be like DLC that comes out way after everyone already beat the game.

It's kind of low-key FF4 too. The beast races, general theming, and any time going to the moon is mentioned that's the first connection made.

Garo and Dan are good

You know sometimes when you run out of AOE in last second but AOE will hit you anyway because of latency right? I'm noticed today on BLM that stack marker completely ignore latency. I had stack marker, teleported to group in the last second, and survived. So I assume those retarded "latency" delayes actualyl works as intended. But fucking why? For what purpose?

>tfw there will never be a proper thief job because of its attachment to Ninja
I know its because Thief became Ninja in FF1 but fuck, I would have preferred a job that was more Thief than Ninja, those dual swords would also look ace on a job with some slick acrobatic animations

>Good writing aside, this was still functionally a side-story.
No offense but you might be retarded. ShB was the opposite of a side story. ShB was the meat of the story and an amazing climax for everything that came before. Stormblood was the real side story. Instead of focusing on the actual plot of the game, stopping the ascians and their rejoining, it soend the entire time messing around in ala Migho

Because since the very beginning of that beast tribe quest the WoL wasn't having any of that, every cutscene they looked like they they are thinking "Oh no not this stupid shit again." and it's great.

it's the little things that add up to something nice.

>New tank
Pretty sure gunbreaker is the last one.
Even then it's so lackluster, it's cpose is dull and gameplay wise it just feels really flashy/fast paced and almost too much for a tank to be.

RDM is in a fine spot damage-wise, as it is a support job. It is essentially a physical ranged that casts magic.

Something with a massive hammer would be pretty cool. It wouldn't need to be a tank, but it would probably be more fitting if it was.

>it's okay that this class should never be in party after the first week of content
no

Needs more support. Quick raises and a gimmicky party buff are really not much to be proud of. En-spells might be cool, though I wouldn't mind if BLM got those to get that Vivi feel, but RDM needs it more. Spell/skill speed up might be cool since AST lost arrow. Refresh might be nice too, but I don't know if healers have mp problems anymore.

Do you really need a new job for that if you can just give WAR more hammer glamours? PLD could do with some maces too.
If SAM got a european longsword weapon glamour we'd never need another sword job either.

>mp problems on healers

only if i don't pay attention or if I have to rez more than twice a minute or if the dps are taking forever to kill a pack and Art of War gets me down to 1k

We could have done that anywhere though. The First and anything going on there is nothing but window dressing. Some that was introduced, tidied up, and filed away during HW I might add. It could have safely never been mentioned again.

If people unironically exclude jobs in 2019 it's their fault

Pick a server with the exp buff. This will let you zoom your ass up to 70 along with any other classes you want to level. Its an additional 100% exp buff from literally everything that gives exp. Level your crafters during your downtime after playing for a while.

Yep in general jobs are shit right now unless you're playing a monk, black mage, dragoon, or samurai.

Feels bad. I mean, Khoulusia could be bigger, as could Ahm Areng, but otherwise it's perfect.

This might be the worst meme on earth. There is no fucking reason why people should be forced to change from the job they like just to do respectable DPS. "Hurr just play blm" is not a solution to busted class balance.

it was an excuse for them to post their degenerate images, and that one faggot who got banned is obviously samefagging as user to spread his pedo filth

Absolutely not. Titan's generous as fuck, only Leviathan can be somewhat troublesome.

You might consider it a meme, yet there are considerably fewer parses with a red mage to show this is an actual effect of the class being low tier.

What groups do you have. I've never seen Levi's enrage cast since he goes down fairly quick. Titans is far more punishing.

>What groups do you have
What is that supposed to mean? Are you doing the silly JP strat where they send a DPS and a tank to jerk themselves up N instead of circling around Titan in the middle on the very last phase?

This part specifically is my favourite, it gives me super strong home-y vibes, almost reminds me of Oblivion or similarm

Not saying it doesn't happen, just saying it shouldn't have to happen and simply saying "just play something else" in order to justify keeping RDM bad isn't something we should be doing. People should be able to play what they want without dragging down the party. If you don't want support jobs doing more pDPS then give them more or better raid buffs so the rDPS closes the gap at least

I feel a little bad for the other classes. We'll never be touched, ever, since we are the chosen dev class.

In return nobody respects you because you are the babby dev class

Eh. We've been locked out PF for some amount of time because of the rDPS meme. I think it's fair enough. At least YoshiP knows that we shouldn't ever get a rez, which I agree with.

Don't feel bad for me. At least i'm not locked out of every PF because baddied flocked to my job after hearing it's OP and wound up shitting up every party they stumbled across.

I play with a static, every Levi clear we've gotten has been extremely close. Our first Titan clear we didn't even get to the enrage cast, meanwhile the Levi clear that week he was about 80% done on his enrage cast before we could kill him.

cringe

You get double xp on any job lower than your highest level. If you did the novice network stuff you get the ring that gives extra xp under level 30. All jobs are pretty bad until after level 50. POTD is a good way to level and also try out new jobs since you start at level 1 and level incredibly fast within the dungeon.

Plus qith WHM moving away from elementals amd into holy magic. It will seem less like a knockoff job Maybe it will level off conjurer though like scholar and summoner.

Yes, that's why you pick up the fucking medals. Additionally, there's sometimes limits as to how many medals people can carry. If you see people spamming GET THE MEDALS it's likely because everyone else literally cannot collect it themselves. Hence you need to pick up the fucking medals.

>WAR gets crazy potency buffs
I don't feel like it even needs potency buffs to eventually be ahead of the other tanks since it's not that far behind and scales the hardest off of crit. The old holmgang cooldown would be nice but being able to invuln every 3 minutes was and still would be fucking ridiculous compared to what the other tanks have to offer.

>not using cooldowns
I think that might be a wowfugee thing, since there tanks get the bulk of their mitigation through active means and any cooldowns are generally at least 4 or 5 minutes long, so a bunch of shitters think they're "best saved for emergencies". I've actually had a couple people in that game shit talk me for using cooldowns on mob packs even though I take way more damage from those than bosses It's my best guess as to where all the shitters who faceroll all their cooldowns when they hit 10% health (and it's too late for the cooldowns to actually matter) come from.

a limited number of normal encounters have "enrage" or dps checks
like titania normal for example

There's at least 2-3 more with Yoshida as director. There will obviously be more expansions after that but maybe not with Yoshida since it's possible for him to get promoted again or health issues fuck him up since he barely sleeps and smokes.

BLM in HW was really good, its just that enochian was stupidly rigid, it took some getting used to, they have lightened up on it heavily as time has gone on and it was for the better, BLM feels really great now

i've noticed that on some fights where people are taking a lot of damage constantly (like titan normal) i'll sometimes wait until i have swiftcast to try and raise anyone.
slowcasting raise is definitely something i have to do more often

MCH is very slightly above BRD yet provides no buffs. BRD is stronger for this reason.

Regarding DoTs, we’ve received lots of feedback saying that players would like DoT durations extended, but we are instead considering reworking the potency of Ruin spells to be higher dependent on the number of DoTs inflicted on the target.
>This is still only being considered, but if we decide that it would be effective, we will implement it in 5.08. Ninja, samurai, summoner are on high priority for changes, but these are still in progress so we cannot go into too much detail.

At least I'm not shit anymore. Worried about the rework, I like mudras.

It has a low skill ceiling cause they fucking gutted Hagakure for no reason. Optimizing the classes damage with shinten and higanbana was much more engaging prior to that. MNK is nearly braindead now after the 5.05 changes so I don’t know what you’re talking about

>SAMfags seethe after dominating Stormblood
kek

except most comps will take 2 melee and 2 ranged, because DRG and MNK both buff everyones damage by a sizable amount and MNK brings powerful healing utility, there is little reason to take a SAM, MNK is just flat out better in every way and DRG is a must take because of its high damage and buffs
so no, its not "guaranfuckingteed" a slot, a group won't reject a well played SAM, but a well played SAM is much less useful to a group than a well played MNK

>SAM also has an extremely low skill ceiling while BLM and MNK's is much higher.
This is a terrible meme. I actually play black mage it ain't even hard like that.

>This causes my performance to drop dramatically because I now know that I’m being parsed and monitored

Any of you lads down for some Shadow Bringers extreme trials?

Haven't touched any of them, since i don't have friends on Shadow Bringers yet.

1 - 2 monk
3 - 4 nig mage
5 - 6 dragoon
7 - 8 bard
9 - 0 the GUN

Enjoy bro! Hope it's easy enough for you!

They're not used to being anything less than the best, it's cute. Imagine if they actually played a class that isn't constantly getting jerked off by the dev team, like MCH or RDM.

I sincerely wish death upon all balance-obsessed metafaggots. The world would be better off without them.

Primal?

This.
The only thing that matters is that the classes that are hard don't hit like a wet noodle. Anything else is fine.

>Wanting all classes to be equally enjoyable and viable is bad

What an amazing faggot you are, user

I got the impression BLM and SAM should be doing comparable damage because they both have the same roles, just in melee and caster range. Is this wrong?

Sam doesn't have cast bars to worry about. He can walk wherever he wants. BLM is stuck on his ley lines.

>nigger mage being hard
>shb monk being hard

Yes and no.

Yes, in that pure dps jobs should be adequately compensated in the form of having the highest personal dps.

No, in that there is a large difference in how casters play versus anything with instant cast skills. Melee will always be "easier" on paper because all (most) of their skills come out instantly, and they can therefore adjust to the flow of combat easier than statuesque casters like BLM.

>I want my job to be bad

If I'm playing anything that doesn't require a lot of effort I don't give a shit if it's bad. DRG could be the lowest DPS and I'd still be fine with how it plays.

>WAR has some playability issues at the start of SB, nothing major, but it could use some slight tweaking to make it a bit less cumbersome
Ooh! Let's rework WAR into being absolutely brainless and make them the highest damage tank again! we hear you! we can't let those cries go unheard!
>MCH is garbage in SB, no one enjoys playing it, its easy to fuck up, its not fun and its absolutely assfucked by ping
o-oh, well uh...you can't expect us to rework a job to be better in the middle of an expansion you know? it's just not feasible, will have to wait 2 years until the next expansion, until then...I dunno, eat shit.

Enjoyability is subjective. All classes are viable. If you think they aren't, that is a problem caused 100% by your own misplaced obsession and absolutely nothing else because objectively they are all viable. The purpose of balance is to ensure all classes can clear content, not to manage the violent autism of the raid community who literally froth at the mouth over meaningless differences. Kill yourself and have a nice day.

I am in Crystal now since they moved Brynhildr for some reason.

Send me a tell if interested!

>ONLY MY FAVORITE JOB CAN BE GOOD!!!!! JUST PLAY A BAD CLASS AND F YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN PLAY MY CLASS!!!!

I'm leveling SCH 60+

Is it me or is this class just fucking overpowered in healing capacity?

Stop doing your nut.

The pain I felt from being a MCH main in HW to the SB launch was something I can't express in words.

Thankfully, I can play MCH in ShB without considering suicide.

Attached: 1485011501526.jpg (236x350, 17K)

the game can only benefit from better balancing, why the fuck would you be so against that? the jobs can only gain from this
in fact, the only ones who would reasonably be against it are people whose jobs are overtuned and they don't want anyone else catching up to them

Be good with your favorite class then :^)
I'm using NIN to clear savage after learning the encounters and nobody gives a shit

Yoshi P arrives at your door one day and says that as a reward for being a good little subber he'll personally order a reworking and rewrite of three entire job questlines from their start level all the way to 80. Which do you choose and what would replace them?

There are no bad classes. If you believe your class is causing you to be unable to clear content, then guess what, the problem isn't the class, it's the person playing it. If you insist on only playing the classes that are rated highest in the meta, that's a problem with your own brain and not the game balance. Please gargle on diarrhea until you contract sepsis.

HW MCH was fucking great and had a solid foundation to develop, then SB came round and fucking butchered it, it went from being a fantastic job with plenty of room to work with to being obnoxiously fucking rigid for no fucking reason, also flamethrower into overheat was legitimate infuriating
I miss HW MCH a lot, but ShB MCH is really fun, its just a shame the entire job had to be reworked because SB fucked it so badly

>good little subber
I report him to the police for identity theft. The real YoshiP would want you to unsubscribe from his game.

I agree 100%.
I pretty much stopped playing MCH a month in to SB, it was too painful. Now I can main without feeling like I'm pressing whack a mole and having to time flamethrower with two other CDs.

damage meters should be banned in all mmos

SAM is not fine, you're retarded.

Press your buttons i'm not carrying you.

>10 shekels have been added to your account

Damage meters are dumb, but can be helpful in figuring out where a problem is. Uploading parses is retarded, though.

>a top 4 class needs help
>but a bottom 2 class is fine because "just switch to blm bro lol"
Meleeshitters not even once

>not using parsers as a positive self improvement tool to play better
now, I'm not saying its only bad players who hate parsers, I'm just saying you won't see good ones complaining about em
fflogs autism is a problem though, mostly because of the sheer amount of retards who can't read the data correctly and just make brainless conclusions based on ranking data

Attached: 1546540803765.jpg (288x305, 9K)

Damage meters are fine for improvement, fflogs and parsefags are cancer though. People that try to make PVE competitive are generally retarded in any other community, XIV is the only one I know that let's shit like this happen.

The majority of metafaggots are actually retarded and don't even know what they're talking about 99% of the time, they just parrot things they hear other people say and regurgitate log rankings. Before ShB released, every meta autist on the planet believed that Dancer was the most overpowered thing ever conceived and was a guaranteed spot in every raid. Their perception of the game is so far off the reality that they may as well just be screaming inside their own heads.

The game isn't designed or balanced for metafaggots, although they are absolutely incapable of internalizing this fact which makes attempting discourse with them completely pointless. They'll just scream and scream about abstracted data representing people playing at a level that they could never personally achieve, never actually understanding anything but still shouting with total conviction and authority that they know what needs to be done, all for the sake of whether a boss dies 10 seconds sooner, for no additional reward. And then they go out into the game and spread their retarded beliefs to others like a virus, and before you know it, everyone thinks that something which isn't even a problem is actually a huge issue. Metafags have done absolutely nothing for the game and the community except actively harm it.

You mean samfags specifically.
Shit, NINfags are happy they're getting around middle again.

It’s almost like Yea Forums isn’t one person and can have multiple opinions. Such as mine, where I think SMN desperately needs help, but SAM doing less than DRG and MNK also makes no sense.

Stay mad faggots SAM getting buffs in both 5.08 and 5.1 doesn't matter what salty utility fags think.

Eat ass.

I'm gonna laugh when sam gets jack shit and you spend the next 6 months whining

>I say SAM should do more damage than MNK and DRG
>”SAM is gonna get buffed eat ass”

Okay maybe I’m starting to come around to the other side if I share this job with retards like this that can’t even read.

If they make nin boring as fuck to play ill probably keep playing monk

All third party parsing tools should be banned. Parsing should be natively implemented into the game but you can only see your own parse. That way only the positive elements are reinforced and people can share their parses or use them as benchmarks to improve if they want or ignore them if they don’t.

ACT and any tool that tells you what the next mechanic will be in advance should absolutely be banned. Parseniggers are complete cancer regardless.

What's happening to NIN?

have you ever progged with a fucking BLM its obnoxious as shit

>So I take it we're banning voice chat callouts as well then faggot?

No, just parsers that start fight timers based off of hp% and the like to reliably predicted the exact moment a mechanic will happen and tell you in advance. You’re a faggot.

too hard

How is it not positive to see your own damage and not anyone elses? Self improvement is there without the ability to shit on anyone around you.

You might be a dumbass. You realize these fights are scripted, right? ACT doing it is no different from someone who knows the fight doing it. Once again discordshitters are trying to get a leg up at the expense of solo players by trying to ban their equivalent of callouts. Fuck off.

I’m leveling monk and I’m looking at the skills, tornado kick useless unless you’re going to be in a super long cutscene right?

ESO does something that prevents parsers to see the exact numbers other party members are doing, you can only see your own damage, the party's total dps, and the percentage you contribute.

You shouldn’t be doing savage content if you are parsing low. Anybody that parses in anything else is a faggot but savage content it’s very useful to see who is carrying their weight. If I see a 20 percentile BLM guess who’s about to get kicked. Literallya burden on the party.

Shitters don't care about getting better they want to be carried, the community will be fixed by making fun of them.

>ACT doing it is no different from someone who knows the fight doing it.
The difference is act is a third party tool, not a fucking actual human being making a callout.

nothing wrong with 20th percentile in crafted gear, especially since grey BLM is the equivalent of a purple RDM lmao

When is 5.1 supposed to drop?

Attached: file.png (457x609, 139K)

Yes. Once you get Anatman you can also theoretically use it if there's going to be a downtime of 12+ seconds where you don't have to move, but the circumstances are so rare I honestly wouldn't even blame anyone if they just took TK and Anatman off their bars. To even get any benefit from them you have to essentially know the exact second the boss will go untargetable because if you're even a moment too early it ends up being a DPS loss.

In savage it’s very much a problem

trailer will be at tokyo gameshow so probably late sept.

There's nothing inherently virtuous about a human doing it vs ACT.

This

People dont look at everything that went on in the fight like they see an orange but do they look at the buffs they were padded with? The dance partner and ast cards? What about gear?

There is a grey rank parse, do people look if they died? What about other parses, do they average out? No they just look at the colors like mongs and base everything on rankings like idiots.

>not getting at least blue in crafted
yikes

I guess there's nothing wrong with programming a bot to do the mechanics for you either then.

Okay now I know you're retarded

na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/e0689e2afed18c68a8109a62e408042d76739021

5.08 is on the 29th of Aug so that timeline adds up.

>still living in sb

Sometime in October probably. Patches are generally 3.5 months apart and ShB was released at the start of July. So most likely mid-late October.

not an argument

Buffs/gear will not make a bad player good and dying means you are a shitter unless your healer fucked you over, in which case the party will have much bigger problems than the dps.

>endgame content is entirely based around beating dps checks
>retards still think that seeing what dps other people are doing is bad
Like sure if some retard in MSQ roulette is shitting on a sprout because he doesn't know his rotation, get that dumbass banned, but for savage, especially with a pug group, you can't really hope to drag dead weight through the fight and you likely won't be able to pay attention to every single member of the party to make sure they're pressing buttons, so a parser is pretty fucking necessary.

Come on man, a dance partner is the difference between a blue parse and an orange for an average player.

Buffs are the key to parsing high. Lining everything up in the window while keeping uptime is all you need. Without lining up buffs I'm sure you can parse blue or purple but never orange.

Again, you are still living in sb, only rdps matters now, the damage you do and give to others, not what they give you.

You can see who the healers are healing and what they are doing, if they fuck up it’s very apparent. You can see what the tank is doing, if they’re losing aggro/fuck up a mechanic, if they are using cooldowns etc and doing their job effectively. The only role that people seem to not want to hold to any scrutiny is dps even though doing their damage is their entire function.

What are the chances that the entire raid is based around automata and they forget about every other game in the series?

Attached: 5reTful.png (1724x1080, 1.89M)

This isn’t how rDPS works you double nigger. Actually do savage and use a parser and educate yourself.

It will be 100% automata beside the glams that will either be nier inspired asscapes and circlets or male characters from other games.

doing dps is exclusive to no jobs retard

Everyone has to be doing their best to do optimal dps, including tanks and healers. Doing the mechanics correctly is the bare minimum starting point so of course you can see who's fucking up.

No shit dumbass, but dps are responsible for most of the damage in an encounter so it shouldn’t be a crazy thought to have tools to see how much they’re doing
