I'm wrestling with the same issue. I goddamn love how MNK plays but getting cucked by 90% of the fights in this game sucks ass when with ninja one armor crush gives 30 seconds of uptime for huton

Prepare for the most boring, waste of fucking time, pointless job questline out of all the jobs. Whearas most other jobs's questline have you doing things that are relevant to your chosen path, here you will mostly follow the orders of a non monk scientist whilst gaining new powers spontaneously.

He's Ala Mhigan, which is hugely relevant to monks. You also have a monk helper who is the lost heir to the Ala Mhigan throne.
>whilst gaining new powers spontaneously.
So you don't pay any fucking attention at all. The point of your job stones is that they're materia that hold memories of past users. As you attune with it, you also attune with those memories and learn new shit. That's how you learn 99% of the abilities on any job.

That image highlights how good MCH and SMN is because their best cooldowns are on a short timer that lines up perfectly for every phase change. This is more of a problem with fight design than job design.

Like what's the point of having a PLD with defensive skills if high DPS can skip those mitigation checks.

Again, to compare, in the Ninja's storyline you meet the ninja team after tailing a suspicious individual, introduced to the antagonists early on, get a dojo for the job, each quest is about Oboro teaching you the ways of ninjitsu whilst helping him kill Karasu, culminating in an interesting revelation near the end.
In contrast, the Monk begins with you helping Erik and Widagart just appears and points at you going 'Hey, you can be a Monk too!'. He never teaches you anything himself unlike Oboro. You start quests at the Goldsmith's front door, the majority of the 'fights' are local wildlife attracted to the rods you place in the ground and it's only near the end where Wildagart actually does anything with you and he tries to kill you!
>>
>>376050172
Why not both?

I've got both my NIN and MNK up to ilvl ~265 already. Still need to get the MNK Mask from A10S, and then both their weapons and chests from A12S. Given I've not yet even beaten A11S though... might just have to settle with what I've got.

Zurvan and Proto-Alex for NIN, Sophia and Diabolic for MNK.

Still it's a job that gets cucked by design. Most of the jobs don't have to do anything to keep their buffs and even if they happen to lose them, it's a lot faster for them to rev up the engine than monk
>>
>>376053106
You mean if a monk uses dragon kick, they use the tornado kick animation or the demolition animation? Sounds like it would confuse other players, especially in a PVP feast scenario.

>Astrologian

can someone give me a quick rundown? I'm going to pick 1 job to heal with, and this is the only one that sounds interesting.
>>
>>376053795
Pretty much every DPS job right now has to manage some sort of timer. BLM losing enochian while it still has a 30sec cooldown is a bigger DPS loss than MNK losing their GL3.
>>
>>376053829
Yeah, that could be a problem, I guess.
>>
>>376053689
>the Monk begins with you helping Erik
Because the Pugilist's Guild trains bodyguards, and Erik is a scientist who needs muscle to help with his research.
>Widagart just appears and points at you going 'Hey, you can be a Monk too!'
Widargelt is there because he's also hired muscle for Erik. He sees the soulstone reacting to you and tries to make you a monk so he has someone to unlock his Seventh Chakra.
>He never teaches you anything himself unlike Oboro.
Because the soulstone does that on its own. That's the entire point of a soulstone. Paladins and Dragoons even use them on new recruits to cut down on training time.
>You start quests at the Goldsmith's front door
Because Erik is a scientist using advanced equipment that needs goldsmiths to maintain them.
>the majority of the 'fights' are local wildlife attracted to the rods you place in the ground and it's only near the end where Wildagart actually does anything with you and he tries to kill you
What's the problem with this? The focus of the MNK questline is on Ala Mhigo, Widargelt, and the lore Erik teaches you about shit like Silvertear Falls which is fucking majorly important in the overall lore.

Mitigation checks aren't always kind of weak; they're more like heal checks if the healers topped off the tank or not, and then the tank swaps into tank mode and pops a CD. The closest you have are the Laser Sword Xs in A11s, but as you never really have to CD before it they're not really a big deal

Exodus or Cactaur, avoid Balmung, Gilgamesh, Leviathan, and Ultros

Has two stances that make it play exactly as WHM or SCH yet better. Also has cards that buff party damage making it better. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't play this class.

>>
>>376054938
Not him but on a sort of related note I'm 100% sure the reason why so many BLMs at level 60 suck at this game is because the spell tooltip is poorly translated. Blizzard IV for example says "deals 280 potency, additional effect: enochian" and nothing else. Meanwhile enochian tooltip says each time it's overwritten, duration is reduced by 5 seconds. It makes no sense unless you go out of your way to google it or fail doing the mechanics and realizing the actual patterns behind how the tools work after many wipes.

Support roles suck in all MMOs, it was never good. It was always a niche role and making them mandatory to bring would just extend waiting for parties to fill even further.

Not to mention that every job in this game already has support skills built in. They would have to gut them all and redo all fight design just to make a snowflake class role to satisfy a dying niche.

why does ninja get punished so severely messing up? if there's lag or you just accidentely press the same button twice, you're fucked for 20 seconds. It feels so unnecessary harsh. if you mess up a combo on any other class, you just start over but with ninja you're locked out of it for 20 seconds.

Lag does matter no matter what, you're always doing lower DPS than the similar geared/job person next to you thus dragging down the group with your Yuropoor ping.

Japan doesn't have games like WoW and it's clones so FFXIV is like a big thing for them. It's also funny how in Japan, FFXIV had a stigma of being "too" hardcore. Not even kidding there was a thing at one point where if you yahoo searched a couple of MMOs like DQ or PSO2 gameplay, you would see images of people posing in school outfits or whatever fashion set. Then you search up FFXIV and you see nothing but boss pattern visual guides and mechanic checklists. The game getting easier lately is not only because of westerners but because they want to move away from the "hardcore" label to not scare off potential noobs.

Some jobs are quite lenient for latency, warrior and monk come to mind. Mostly depends on if double weaving is required in parts of the opener or rotation.

>>376057009
The jobs that are supposed to be the support jobs (BRD/MCH) got hilariously overbuffed to the point of being the highest raiddps contributing jobs by far and even are even highest in personal dps on some fights and compositions. Maybe they'll bring them back in line, but for the time being dragoon/ninja are the lowest jobs in terms of personal DPS but are loved for their raid utility.

>>376057654
52-60, do your dailies. They should give you about half a level a day (all of them together), and then finish the rest with PotD. Run the occasional dungeon to mix things up.

Hunts are also a very good source of XP and gil.
>>
>>376057660
You get Goad and Trick Attack to boost everyone else's damage, plus Shadewalker so the tank doesn't have to put out as much enmity and Smokescreen to cover another DPS that might be putting out decent enough damage to pull.

So yea, you're primarily a support DPS, just like a Bard or Machinist. If you want man mode you should try Dragoon or Monk.

What the fuck is this
>>
>>376058074
You put it on the tank
>>
>>376058074
Each point of damage generates a point of enmity (unless you have some enmity modifier like quelling strikes/smokescreen active or are using a skill with an enmity bonus like some tank combos) and you're simply transferring 80% of the enmity you're generating during that time frame to whoever you put shadewalker on, typically the tank.

This lets the tank get away with generating less enmity and still hold aggro, both dark knights and paladins hate generating enmity because the combo to do so with is their lowest damage combo so they want to use it as little as possible.

Outside of overall enmity management, shadewalker can also be used to make tank swaps smoother.

>Making the game more accessible for their core audience is not really a bad thing.
It's not. It really isn't. But for me the absolute most appeal in those games is to cooperatively kill digital dragons to get fat loot. And not so much watching movies about le funny inspector man, or playing an RTS for no particular reward, or building a house nobody comes to because I'm too poor to do that in real life, or to dress up a doll in robes. And the game is built like the kind of game where you kill dragons and get loot but for some reason it stops at the babby level with those systems and invests a lot into content for... hell, utter pussies.

There's regular posts on reddit about people freaking out over going into dungeons through DF, especially in roles that would be noticeable such as a tank or a healer. They're having anxiety attacks over minimal social interactions in a fucking game. Let alone actually being able to band together to defeat challenges that can't be overcome by matchmaking. Then why the fuck are you playing an MMORPG, and why the fuck are there so many of you assholes?! Is that really THE core audience?

10% extra damage is legit, also consider that DoTs get the bonus for their full duration if applied during the debuff. That's for all 8 people in the full party, and lines up with loads of cooldowns for even more bonus.

And one of the Ninjustus is Suiton, which lets you use Trick Attack (or Sneak Attack if you're in a group full of shitters) on its 60s cooldown.

What the hell does Balmung or Gilgamesh offer more than mid population servers? It used to be because of the raid population or erp population but those two are absolutely irrelevant now that cross server datacenter PF exists. Anyone can make cross server statics, pugs, or even hook up through there.

Both Gilgamesh and Balmung are locked almost 24/7, meaning zero new players can get in unless they pay $18. It's damn rare to find a legitimate new players on Balmung or Gilgamesh in any zones, so most of the time you're by yourself with a Novice Network with no actual novices there.

Not to mention that it's impossible to find a house and those two servers have severe undercutting issues. Which leads to more people prone to buy from RMT so they can afford a house or dominate the marketboard by buying an item all out and relisting it.

You mean roleplaying or erp.

Balmung has no RMT tellers because it's a waste of space given how rare it is the server opens. They use all the bots to run Wanderer's Palace 24 hours a day/seven days a week so they can farm gil. With how rare the server opens thanks to these farm bots, that's why RMT is so expensive. Bots get banned faster than they can make a new one on Balmung.

He didn't offer an opinion towards it, but you could just see in his face that he was disappointed at not being given a chance to work it back in.

Bard was a very enjoyable class to play in FFXI. I don't know how well it would work in XIV, but having a stance that "support is boring nobody wants to play it" is stupid to have as a developer.
>>
>>376061617

thats a good thing. warcraft is ruined by dataminers
>>
>>376061709
Yeah. It's a real shame they're cutting/merging all those quality skills like featherfoot or haymaker. That one is so useful I can't imagine playing without it.
>>
>>376061991
>Bard was a very enjoyable class to play in FFXI
I mained bard and I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with this.
>>
>>376061991

its a paradox.

if you make support too strong, you get the brd/rdm situation in FFXI, where they became mandatory

if you make support too weak, no one will bother and just bring another dps or healer

another point: most proposed changes would have to change the game in a huge way, like adding a 5th/10th spot to parties. changing the entire game to cram one mechanic into it is bad game design
>>
>>376061991
Lets rephrase that:
>"we done the research over the years that support is the least played role and it's use in content is niche at best. To make them relevant, we have to fuck with other class designs and fight designs to make them necessary to bring. Players of more populated roles do not like these changes to appease to a niche crowd, so we're getting rid of it to avoid mass player complaints and cause less stress on ourselves as combat developers"
>>
>>376062092
Did anyone actually use featherfoot?

>>376061709
At least they stopped supporting PS3, and to be fair, ability bloat is a thing. Eventually you trim the fat, bake abilities into other abilies, make them passives, make them PvP abilities, or cut them entirely.
>>
>>376061020
They're different types of mages, but culturally very similar. Black mages don't actually use the Void at all, but they're still Mhachi.
>>

>Did anyone actually use featherfoot?
No. That's the joke.
>>
>>376062242
>if you make support too weak, no one will bother and just bring another dps or healer

This. Look at Dancer in XI. It took two to four expansions, depending on who you ask, for them to be remotely useful.

>>376062552
Eh...I have few good memories of DNC at launch. At least with Flourish I could do a shit ton of damage. Plus with artifact gear, artifact weapon, you could be a DPS, and still be supportive.

If they added DNC to XIV, and they still healed with TP, it would be a very interesting thing.
>>
Support roles are either useless or mandatory, and if they're mandatory then they are doing nothing but taking away gameplay that could have been given to other roles to make them deeper and more involved. Imagine if the existing classes had no damage/mitigation cooldowns because they were all the job of the mandatory support class.

Furthermore, all classes in XIV end up as partial-DPS roles anyway, because all jobs have to be able to deal damage if for no other reason than to clear solo content. If anything if there was a support role, it should replace the DPS role and DPS would just be considered the role of all party members equally.

That's why you add uniqueness to each support. AST has cards and is more of a hybrid, SCH has barriers and a pet, and WHM is just an overall powerhouse of heals.

NIN is a DPS with support abilities that makes it appealing to bring.

Datamining comes from the PTR you fool. You don't even have to be a dataminer to know all the changes blizzard lists on their PTR forum.

There is no minimum, the dude says 599 or more because ppl suck+their internet sucks, he proved you can do it at 2.5 gcd's, pure det+crit is king on drg, skill speed only parses higher on a dummy but not in a fight where you can't take advantage of the extra speed because boss jumps away for mechanics and phases so you get cucked

BLM doesn't raise party DPS either, has no battle Rez, and on average does lower damage as their cooldowns don't lineup perfectly like SMN for every phase change.

Your tank already has enough CDs to mitigate. apoc ain't going to do shit unless you got a shit tank.

Enhanced Virus is so much better for general raidwide mitigation and the more of it you go the better, especially in fights with adds like Zurvan EX that love to critical hit every physical attack. Something apoc doesn't work against while enhanced virus works against physical AND magical.

SMN is just better than BLM in every way except visual design. I mean Yoshi clearly fucked up when a ranged caster that can move as much as they want in fights can do the same if not close to the same damage as a never moving BLM turret.

That's like saying you already have enough DPS

It's very unlikely the SMN will use it without pissing the SCH off

How is support any more boring than healing? You move the support moves off the DPS (and give them more interesting abilities that have their own mechanics) then have supports as a role that do less damage than DPS but provide party wide buffs and single targeted buffs or debuffs that can cause large swings in DPS or damage taken.

Except then you're also the healer which a lot of players don't want to do.

I think it's too late now to introduce supports as a class, but from the beginning there should have been a focus on turning the trinity into 4; your DPS which deals damage, your tank which takes damage, your healer which heals damage, and your support which enhances the rest and can do a bit of it all. Classes like Bard, Red Mage, and Astro would have fit far more comfortably into a Support role (current Bard just doesn't really make much sense and should just be Ranger) and you'd have a simple 5 man dungeon/10 man raid.

Hell, it really should be 5/10 as is, seeing as Tanks and Healers each make up slightly over 20% of the playerbase.

Not every game in the fucking series has thieves turning into ninjas you fucking faggot, in fact FFI is one of the few exceptions to the rule. FF3, 5, and 11 all have thief jobs that are entirely separate from ninjas and the series has many established thief characters that are, in fact, not ninjas. Is Locke a Ninja? What about Zidane (and his entire fucking crew)? Rikku? Hell, THIS VERY FUCKING GAME has Thancred, an established thief character that is simultenously not a ninja. But if we want to emulate ANY of the above shit then we have to resort to pretending to be fucking Naruto, but that's fine because the series did it once 30 years ago.

They don't use suffixes anyway, and FFXI has spells that go up to VI.

what if they also had a lot of CC and CC was necessary in dungeons? support can be fun if you think of it as more than just "buff every 30 sec"

"How could this role be as boring as possible?"

If anything this is just showing you have no imagination. To you is DPS just "they just do nothing but their attack combos at the enemy." Is tanking "uses their mitigation skills every 60s while throwing up a dot every 40s?"

You'd have some sort of attack rotation which mixes in debuffs on enemies and wanting to keep up buffs on allies. You'd have to make sure you're juggling these effects while still getting damage out (as damage is everyone's role). This enables you to make the DPS focused on personal damage and thus able to be differentiated on how they play rather than what they bring to the raid.

BLM in PvP can get kills super easily with sharpcast and fire 3 procs. Instant 4k damage to someone is fucking amazing. Plus you have two different skills to use to bind/sleep a group of people before LB.

>they don't use suffixes anyway
What?
The Japanese version of XIV uses suffixes and
Fire VI in XI is just the strongest version of the first fire spell.
>>
>>376070434
lets say they did implement a support role. Does it take up 1 party slot or 2? If it's 1 slot then what will they do when they release a 2nd or 3rd support class? Is it going to be like the tank meta right now where 1 is objectively superior while 2 others are identical in function? I can't see support role work at all in FFXIV unless they revamp the entire game design and Duty finder server infrastructure just to cater to 1 role. That's hilariously bad game design to do that.

probably stems from other games like FFXI where it was a beast of a job with the right subjobs. Granted from how they changed majority of jobs and playstyle from XI to VIX, it would be safe to say rdm doesn't get really fun until 60, if it's even fun at all

SMN is a bit slanted here because of AOE inflation from A9S btw. On every other fight, it's a bit lower, and it's rock bottom on A10S on the same category.
>>
>>376071092
it'll be fun in some regard, since every job has at least some depth in XIV, but no matter what happens it's going to be a disappointment compared to XI's RDM
that much can't be helped, unfortunately

>>376070998
Make it so that buffs and debuffs don't stack, much the same way they already do with effects like Delerium/Dragon Kick or Storm's Eye/Dancing Edge? It's not a particularly hard design to do, you simply make sure that buffs and debuffs are capped. This could be in terms of effects (again, Eye vs Edge) or just in terms of percentages. As for the issue when one is superior to another, you already run into this issue with every single role. Why ever bring X DPS when Y brings more raidwide DPS?

I don't think they can really implement it this late in the game because you'd have to revamp the way DPS and Astro work. It's a design that should have been in from the beginning because it would alleviate a lot of the problems that are inherent in FFXIV's current design.

But no, it's not bad design, it's probably just a risky use of funding and not worthwhile until they decide to have an actual battle system redesign. However, I do think a move to 5 man dungeons/10 man raids for the future should not be that difficult (just slap them in their own category like how dungeons and raids are already split) is a good design decision and would alleviate many of the issues we have right now in terms of queue times.

I think the idea was that red mage and Bard should have always been support instead of trying to shoehorn it in now. Obviously trying to make space for a 4th role after 2 expansions isn't going to work.

>Is it going to be like the tank meta right now where 1 is objectively superior

Their inability to balance the fucking game shouldn't really count against the viability of any role. If it does, then tanking shouldn't be in the game since it's not balanced.

I'm doubtful that a community MMO can thrive at all in these days. The closest you can get to is EVE and that's a fairly small and insular community. There's absolutely no way I can see to make a good PvE MMO now, because in order to get a good community to flourish you need to give it a reason to exist. Ain't nobody going to bother having the sort of vibrant "know people's names and how good they are" shit that old FFXI had in the days of Duty Finder. After all, what's the point when you'll probably never see them again and it's just basic instanced content? Who is going to put up with leveling parties?

We have tasted the fruits of casualization and it has ruined us. Hell, I have trouble playing WoW with flight paths as opposed to FFXIV's teleport anywhere anytime. If Wildstar proved anything its that there isn't any sort of market appeal to that sort of thing anyways. You might be able to get a server running on Vanillia WoW as you have barely any costs to recoup, but supporting an entire game? Hell no.

I don't play nin or mnk so I guess I'm not really involved in your little bitch fight, but honestly how can you call them cucks if your class is based on being the lowest in the game in exchange for making everyone else better? It's like the entire nin concept is cuckoldry.

Then I guess you call mnks cucks because they are out of groups that do min/max group synergy stuff, which is not wrong I suppose.

Honestly sounds like nin wins this one though.

>>
>>376075441
First off because you don't know the difference between support and cucking
Secondly as the max numbers show nin actually has higher potential damage than mnk with the extra 5k parses counted for nin likely dragging down their average number which is already only a 13.6 dps difference from mnk which is based around the idea of low utility but high personal damage
Mnk is like the guy that throws a house party with beer and bitches but then nin comes along with better beer and bitches, improving the party for everyone else while supplanting the mnk

>I told you there's a reason

You are putting yourself on the ground in favor of other people doing better. You can't refute that. You can call that by another name that makes it easier on your eyes/ears, which is fine, but the fact stands.

The whole "I'm a weakling but I take joy in making others stronger" concept is cuckoldry. I'm not saying it's not support, I'm saying they are one and the same.

On another note, sucks for mnks though. Their situation is absolute fucking ass right now. That being said their entire class concept doesn't seem to be based on being cucks, so they probably just got the short end of the stick for the time being.
