what went wrong?
>>
>>382018873

There isn't. Progression has ever only been hardlocked by dps/healers, never tanks because their role is pretty much useless in raids. A3s was such a huge filter not just because of the dps check because god forbid the tanks needed to learn how to do a mechanic and position properly.

The issue is that tanks are already in short supply, you only need 2 at most in raids and if they made their raid role have actual difficulty then it'd be even harder for tanks to find spots.

Funny how for random matchmaking tanks have the easy life but for finding a consistent group/static its actually pretty tough since people never need "new" tanks and once you got two that are reliable then that's really it.

No not really. Alexander in particular focused on affecting ranged as equally as melee. Many of these mechanics are instant death, a3s had the only dedicated tank mechanic in Gordias. Midas was the tier that really started including tanks into mechanic doing, but still mostly positioning to avoid bombs in a5s, getting orbs in a6s, ball avoiding in a7s, a8s in general. Doesn't change that for most of these mechanics, it still wasn't lethal if you messed up. Mirage charges didn't kill you, orbs didn't kill you since it was healers job, a7s dps adjusted even if you fucked up.

Yep. It's not like tanks don't have optimization but at the same time it's peanuts compared to DPS optimization. As long as tanks comprehend the idea of preparation and knowing their threat output, you can bring any new tank with that adaptability and they can probably clear most fights in a few pulls.

I didn't say a class, being an actual top tier DPS is probably the most skill intensive thing in an MMO as the ceiling for it is very high depending on class.

Tanking is relatively straightforward and Healing is mostly dependent on your group since they make your life easier.

Least you're not doing 30 hours of hunts just to upgrade one set of Doman gear ala 3.0, which I hope they don't do with antiquated gear but chances are they'll do it. SE so far recognizes how many roles and classes there are in the game and made leveling crafting/gathering a cinch. DoW is still pretty cancer to level especially as a DPS but PotD solves that to some degree too. Albeit endgame players are even shittier thanks to people not actually learning their role.

Being a tank is frustrating. You do nothing but watch your dps/healers fall for simple as shit mechanics which is enough to make you change jobs so you can do it properly.

Most classes require some time with it to play well though, there's no class that's easy you can pick up and just be 95th percentile after two pulls, even with how some classes were neutered. In terms of initial difficulty, I'd say MCH has the highest. It's almost a certainty that most MCHs will need to look up a guide because their stuff is the least straightforward of any dps just because of how variable Heat can be along with dealing with Boss invulns, phase skips, and aoe.

WAR is just shit in general, DRK is mind numbingly boring until 70 and you will resent the 99% of content that syncs you down, PLD is the strongest and most fun (for a tank.) And all 3 have garbage, nerfed damage that will make you want to die while levelling.

they don't want tanks to do too much damage because it becomes too hard to balance content. DPS checks become too hard for casual players, and too easy for hardcore players.

Yoshida: We do have plans to implement the content yes. I’m afraid I can’t tell you what type of content it is. As you traverse through the areas in Stormblood, you’ll notice where this system is going to be implemented so we encourage players to look around when they get a chance.

noob PLD question. I usually dont like doing large pulls cause i cant shake the fear of a bad healer. But also cause i dont know if i use my buffs right. When i do try to pull multiple mobs ill start with sentinel then rampart. But im not sure when i want to mix in some of the other def cooldowns like awareness and whatnot. Do i want to use them the same time as the flat damage reduction or should i use them after?

The one problem i found myself having is while i can hold agro and whatnot just fine i never feel like im using the def CD's correctly.

I also hate that playing PLD now is considered bangwagoning. I never really liked tanking on WAR and DRK even before the changes. I was happy to hear Paladin was good and got excied to play the job again after not touching it much in HW.

I know they say that all the time and it's the dumbest shit ever. Why should tanks be restricted to having an absolutely minimal effect on the success of the dungeon?

I think it's true that being among the best DPS players is hard since you compete with actual players, and I'm a tank player. However, it doesn't mean that other classes are easy to play. And, well, I pity you if you pick a class depending on how "hard" it is.

Don't stack defensive cooldowns unless absolutely necessary, it's a waste.

Don't activate any defensive cooldowns for a few seconds after pulling. This is to get the healer on their toes and have them understand how much damage you'd be normally taking without cooldowns.

I don't know if I'd say content having the chance to drop something cool is "worse" but I'm sure that's annoying in its own way. I'd still prefer it to running content that has absolutely 0 chance of dropping anything you need.

Doesn't help that all dungeon content in XIV starts off beneath you because it's so easy.

>>382023213
When you pull multiple groups of enemies, you're going to be under attack for a long time.
That's why you should use CDs one at a time, and only put on multiple ones if it seems your HP is dropping faster than the healer can heal.
If the healer is bad, you should notice that on the first (multi)pull and slow down accordingly. Even if you wipe, it's not a big deal at all. If you want to be extra nice, say something like "sorry, pulled too many" and then pull less

I'm not holding my breath. Something tells me the next PotD is a mid/late patch type of content. I imagine they're focused taking in feedback from the revamp, balancing it for 8 man raids and the 24 man raid. PotD is basically recycle PVE content. But you need new content and some time before you get to recycle anything.

Titanforging and Legendaries ruined what would've been the best WoW expansion to date because having RNG on top of gearing RNG is too much.

There are already a million SAM weeblords. RDM is looking incredibly strong for prog just because of their Raise and solid consistent damage without being too bogged down by mechanics. NIN is still the best melee in overall dps. BRD is also looking strong being a role that suffers no dps loss from doing mechanics and has enough raid dps contribution to make them more or less competitive with melee/casters. Refresh also lets PLD do like 5 extra holy spirits in the beginning.

Am I just retarded or is Frontlines a broken gamemode?

I'm able to easily dominate in 8v8 matches but as soon as I go to Frontlines the whole thing is an awful clusterfuck in which it's impossible to actually fight or get kills unless some retard runs into your entire team. Also why does everybody ignore the pvp and the crystals and just afk in random places across the map occassionally going and capping another team's point for a whopping 2 points every few seconds.

Send help please.

Then you are just a DPS with defensive cooldowns, let me rephrase.

Tanking in FFXIV is boring, that's true. However tanking should be made into a more group mitigation related role than just slapping damage onto it, more stuff like PLD Passage of Arms. Imagine if DRK could give AoE bloodbath style leeches to people or drain health from the group to heal itself to help mitigate tank busters easily but stress the healers a bit more, WAR would be the tank that still does damage as that's always been its supposed "utility" outside of tanking.

Unfortunately this would require FFXIV to not be a DPS centric PvE progression meta, the fact you can burn bosses through phases/shorten mechanics through raw DPS only makes it worse as it makes doing more damage the end all goal of every class.

There is content specific to the expansions, but you cannot access them until you get to around the end of the base game anyways. Point is, the expansions add like 100+ more hours of what you'll be doing in the base game. If you don't like the base game, you'll have wasted money on the expansions.

Honestly, crafting/gathering is only worth it if you want to devote time to something besides the current PVE content or you REALLY want money. It's been a boon while waiting for DPS queues since I'm constantly busy gathering ingredients and prepping base mats instead of spamming FATEs.

GC HQ turn-ins help a lot with leveling. While getting to 50, you should also use Courier crafting levequests and the Ixal beast tribe quests for extra chunks of exp. From 50-60, drop Ixal and do Moogle beast tribe instead.

If you don't enjoy the grind and the fact you won't make significant profit early on, I'd say it isn't for you.

why the fuck is the NA playerbase so cancerous compared to JP? After getting the fuck off of NA servers until this shitty ddos attack dies down, I've actually fallen in love with the game again. My JP guild, granted they can't speak much english, have been much friendlier and helpful to me than any other NA guild I've been apart of since 1.0 - 2.0.

It wasn't always the case though, ever since Heavensward hit and the game got a surge of players, the NA scene has been incredibly cancerous, what the fuck happened?

The developers live in morbid fear of letting her actually do anything.

So we're stuck with her just vomiting exposition that Urianger or even Krile are capable of doing, and watching her pop a bubble once per storyline. Then proceed to do nothing else.

Except that one spell she cast in a HW instance. Which was so important the developers promptly forgot it existed and its never used in SB or most likely anything else.

Are you fucking kidding? Ever heard of 8 person raids? Tank switching? Shirk is fucking great. I saw raids wiped because of one slight discrepancy in aggro management between a main tank and offtank. Basicaly, there can often be a situation when the boss casts some kind of vulnerabilty on the main tank and follows up with a tank buster, and this is where the offtank is supposed to pull agro onto himself.

Remains to be seen if SAM will actually be good for meme speedkill comps, or they'll be like mnk with high personal dps and no synergy.

The only dps that's universally good is NIN because you really can't replace trick attack, and they have amazing utility and respectable dps to boot. The ranged are a close second, but mch is garbage right now and brd while good isnt as strong relative to the melees as it was at the end of 3.x. Optimal comps may well have no ranged at all once farm is over - only NIN really has a guaranteed slot.

It's an edgelord magnet, it's DRG that's actually supposed to tank the floor, and as a Healer, they're always been a huge pain in my ass to heal. In some Alex raids, they couldn't even survive Tankbusters most of the time, but soon as one ragequit and a PLD or WAR filled in for them, we had no issues whatsoever. This happened multiple times across multiple bosses and runs. Even in Dungeons I never got to dps much because they needed so much more healing babysitting than PLDs or WARs ever did, it was like having an undergeared tank all the time because "muh outhealing the damage instead of mitigating it"

Don't put healers through that.

With that said, though, there are RARELY good DRKs I've run into, so they exist. But they're far outnumbered by the bad ones and because the class isn't conducive. Just like finding non-ERPers in Balmung's Quicksand, they exist, but good luck.

Eh I guess I could see the use in it, but I've never been one to really have trouble holding aggro on a boss, hell in most dungeons starting off with two enmity combos then switching to deliverance I can easily hold aggro the entire fight even if I'm not really using my enmity rotation.

>>382027308

I've done plenty of tank swapping in XIV but enmity usually hasn't been an issue as long as I follow up provoke immediately with the second or third ability in the enmity rotation, the tank getting swapped from should also have the foresight to hold off abilities for at least two seconds or so.

Back when I played on EU the nicest players believe it or not turned out to be the Russians, while the most toxic fuck ended up being from the UK or Switzerland.

I gave him some tips and advice on how to properly tank since I played one from 1.0 - 2.5 before swapping to BLM. I also told him it would be better if he went with a DPS class rather than a tank, because he might get some pretty mean people who'll complain he's either too slow or too squishy.

How so? Special snowflakes are going to flock to the snowflake races, namely Au Ra and c@s.

In dungeons you don't really need Shirk (since nobody can use it on you) and keeping Deliverance on is easy, problem arises when you are on tank-switching duty. If the OT doesn't Shirk you, you are stuck dealing enmity combos, and as a WAR in SB that's inneficient, since you are losing potential DPS by delaying Fell Cleaves, PLD have efficient ways to keep their gauge up, and since their CDs are long, they should keep themselves in Shield Oath, but nothing should impede them from going full on potency instead of enmity, or switching to Sword Oath, regain the gauge via auto-attacks and switch back to Shield Oath

>In some Alex raids, they couldn't even survive Tankbusters most of the time, but soon as one ragequit and a PLD or WAR filled in for them, we had no issues whatsoever. This happened multiple times across multiple bosses and runs. Even in Dungeons I never got to dps much because they needed so much more healing babysitting than PLDs or WARs ever did, it was like having an undergeared tank all the time because "muh outhealing the damage instead of mitigating it"

Nigga, please stop pretending like you raid or that you're in any way decent. This is the most blatant misinformation I've ever fucking seen, what the fuck is this garbage.

>>382028894

Warrior isn't that bad to play, there were some definite improvements such as having ramparts as a CD over foresight, beast gauge, and some other tweaks, it still plays the same for the most part, it's just annoying that we got two completely useless abilities in the expansion, lost bloodbath, unchained becoming pretty much something you don't want to pop once you get your lvl 70 skill, and some other things here and there.

>>382028894
Paladin is the most "fun", DRK is only fun at 70, and at no point is WAR fun any more. Warrior's individual tweaks aren't too bad, but the overarching changes to tanks basically shoved a Tabasco-slathered cactus up its ass. Its DPS is just as shit as other tanks, and it's the only tank that needs to be in DPS stance to use some of its abilities, which is really stupid when you consider that stance-swapping eats half your gauge and enmity generation is completely fucked.

This is why I prefer playing tank in dungeons, every tank is so used to being overgeared in lvl 60 dungeons that they think they can just pull as much as they want in leveling dungeons and not have an issue. Had a friend who was leveling AST a few months ago and he would constantly get Sohm Al in his roulette, each time the tank would pull entire rooms and he'd have to blow everything in a vain attempt to keep the tank alive. Most of the time this chainpulling isn't even faster because you're losing dps from the healer.

Finding a gf on this game is mostly a meme anyway, 75% of the time they already have a "BF XDDD" or "my HUBSY XDD", the reste have mental issues or live 984521 miles from you.

How is DRK in this extension lads ? I was playing WAR until then but god it's fucking boring now, losing 50 jauge for swapping stance is a horrible choice

BLM is easy to manage on the skills side, and only got easier in 4.0. That being said, positioning is a fucking nightmare and it's one of the harder DPS because of this.
>>
>>382031027
BLM on paper is easy but in practice their difficulty varies. Like I've seen BLMs do 4k DPS against target dummies, but during real fights their DPS drops in half because they move too much and don't plan ahead if X scenario happens.

>They have the easiest melee DPS rotation next to DRG.
There are only three melee DPS, that doesn't really say much.

FemRoe are designed to look good as anything but a caster. They also look weird as Dragoons if they're too tall or short.

Im enjoying my time way more as a crafter/gatherer now. Making way more gil as well.

5, actually, if you don't melee as your RDM for the auto attacks then you're a fucking shitter, no reason to stand at range.

your autoattacks cancel dualcast, so standing in melee range is not viable.

Actual facts:

DRG - easy on dummy, hardest in an actual fight because numerous things can shut down LotD and reduce your dps to garbage.

SAM - harder at first to learn the opener + kenki stuff but in actual practice an easy class to play well due to having straightforward answers to everything in regards to AoE, <15 second burst, kenki burning. Has no overarching buff like BotD or Huton to maintain and so has no real failure state.

NIN - A straightfoward class with a none-too complex opener and overall rotation. Huton is forgiving enough that it is a non-issue. The only difficulty is making sure that you don't blow the positioning of Ten Chi Jin.

MNK - has barely changed since 2.0 so it's still one of the easiest melee. The loss of Fracture and ToD has made it harder to hit all positionals though and it's even more important to MNK that they know when to true north.

probably DRG>SAM>MNK=NIN

When I get the magic damage buff from requiescat should I be spamming holy spirit or should I do my full combo>requiescat>holy spirit>full combo?

>>382032024
>They cancel dualcast
Yes, if you're standing there with your thumb up your arse, you're supposed to only be landing autoattack hits during the GCD period AFTER a dualcast.

I've been standing in melee range since forever and I've never lost my dualcast, what does cancel it is using shit like sprint (because it counts as a spell you cast lel)

Roes, male and female, are okay with looking silly in a non-meme way. The guys look dumb in most shut and the girls look dumb in pretty much anything that isn't practical combat gear. This means they're less likely to be self-inportant.

You don't have any idea how tanking in HW worked. Fuck off retard.

DRK was the most used tank in raids and the best class for dungeons for all of 3.x. Why do you pretend to know what you're talking about.

>>382032449
It does sound pretty hot but I've played with her for so long that I can't think of naughty stuff. She's really nice and helpful.

>>382032340
Thanks, so it basically comes down to using Requiescat, draining all my MP on holy spirit spam and trying to get it all back before Requiescat is off cooldown again
>>
>>382032483
And this is why you roll femroe instead of manroe.

Unless you like that shit anyway.

>>382032680
Yes.
