Why is red mage so fun and how could it be made better?

Will there be a nerf for it soon?

New abilities
>Excog is literally only useful as a stack dump before Aetherflow comes off CD - giving up the flexibility of a stack for an ability that does a tiny bit more healing than Lustrate and has a cooldown AND a timer is pretty much never good. I'm pretty sure it cant crit either
>Broil II - Wow exciting, the same spell but bigger numbers
>Fey Union - absolutely trash. Tiny tether range, not effected by Rouse, Fey Illumination, Convelasence etc, gauge runs out if the target runs out of its (tiny) range. Also is an anti synergy with Dissipation our big level 60 ability
>Chain Strategem - No trick attack, but this is legitimately fine

I'm sure this isn't even everything either. But great, we'll get some band aid buffs to bring us in line with AST/WHM viability speaking, but be left with an incredibly watered down class that is 0 fun to play. Hurray.
>>
>>382182854
Samurai has positional abilities. They build more of their gauge if they hit from flank (kasha) or back (gekko).

Why is trial 3 so difficult for newbies? You'd think it'd take them a couple of wipes, then they'd know the mechanics and be able to do it.

Sustain removal hurts SMN even more than SCH, because they don't have any reliable way to keep their pets alive in melee range. They really do need to revert the Bane nerf. I find myself using Shadowflare more often, since it seems to do more damage, but it's on cooldown. Whenever tanks do large pulls, I feel like there is very little I can do to help beyond spamming heals. After the entire 3 dots I put down, all that leaves is situational Broil spam, which also costs a lot of mana.

Excog is decent imo. Using it at the right time allows you to do other things (albeit limited things since a lot got removed), while the tank survives whatever bullshit damage is coming his way.

You know what would be awesome? A stance for SCH that increases crit chance. Since a lot of its abilities are enhanced by crit, why the hell not? This actually would make new SCH somewhat fun to play.

Intense doubt. I'm leveling Warrior, and I really can't see Pally hitting these numbers at all. I get damage per hit and damage per second are two different things, but still.

Samurai should have been a tank. For the life of me I still don't know why Yoshi chose them to be DPS. It just fucks everything up. Many people that played tanks switched to one of the new DPS further congesting the shit. We have to wait a whole fucking expansion to see another tank or healer now.

You get that? These queues for DPS will be like this THE ENTIRE FUCKING EXPANSION.

I didn't play the game any past last May, and picked up my main job since ARR. Figured I'd fit the same niche I always have. Sounds like SE fucked up the balancing though, because there's no point in playing the soak tank with mediocre sustained mitigation if my DPS is the lowest of the tanks too

>>382186919
That's ridiculous. I'm not doubting you, but it is. The pure tank is out damaging the DPS tank and the go-between. The fact that DRK is out damaging WAR is insulting enough considering they have solid mitigation, but damn. I was regretting leveling WAR already, but I am SERIOUSLY regretting it now. I'll probably just push on to lv70 to get to the endgame and then bring Pally or DRK up. Is Pally still as mind numbing as it was in HW? Any better aoe enmity generation?

I have mained a Paladin since ARR launch and still do. I do, however, want to level a new class since there's shit to do right now. I've been trying to level my DRG and the process is literal cancer. Before queues would pop in, what... 10? 20 minutes at most? Sometimes less than 10, fuck.

Been playing with my bud since 2.0, he's mained WAR the whole time (though he wants to get into RDM because it's been his favorite class since FFI). We've cleared all the content no problem, and he's been doing Tank stuff okay despite SAM parties, he just feels there's jankiness to managing his meter now even if he doesn't want stacks back.

I dunno, I've never really tanked in this game, what else do people think WAR needs now?

there is no denying PLDs are a monster of a class right now, and i fucking waited over 2 years for this, but WARs are still pretty damn fun, just no longer the best

That makes me feel a bit better. Was always nice to have Inner Beast for tank busters. +25% HP from Defiance + 20% mitigation from IB is a beautiful combo. Still, I can't really think of too many strengths Warrior has besides that, aoe enmity, and damage in Deliverance. If the damage is close to even, doesn't seem like there really is much of a point to Warrior

That was always a thing since release, that is why tanks get instant queues. Tanking is just boring as fuck.

AST if you want to be the best, just the best. Only applies if you're actually drawing and using cards every chance you get though.

WHM if you want to be effective even if all you do is roll your face on your keyboard. Boring, got nothing of value compared to what was taken away, but not in a bad spot.

SCH if you want to level SMN without waiting in DPS queues. Or if you genuinely think having to work twice as hard for the same results is fun.
>>
>>382188235
It's basically the same minus ToD, plus extra GCDs. I wish you could hold more than 5 chakra because with 5 you're pressured to use them immediately lest you waste additional procs. I find Riddle of Fire annoying because it slows you down but other people seem to like it because it makes your numbers bigger. I find the job less flexible now but it's still pretty much the same.

WAR is the tankiest in tank stance, has the best damage in tank stance & has the best mitigation CDs

With the changes to meter management & meter gain WAR can actually chain 20%-30% mitigation infinitely by rotating Vengeance, RI & Rampart with 2-3 Inner Beasts in between each. And that's without even using Thrill.

WAR is perfect aside from lack of utility and trouble switching stances. Once people get the rotation down I think it will be perfectly viable. I think that in a lot of cases WAR is better than DRK.
>>
>>382188568
where is that from
a sidequest?
>>
>>382188386
problem with WAR is that many of the new abilities contradict themselves or are just garbage in the scheme of things, and their new resource bar doesn't play well with the design. it suffers from the same problems other classes have in that the retarded resource bar was just rushed in place because every class had to have one.

regardless you will be able to do all content on a WAR just fine. holmgang is still great and your aoe dps is also still great. hell they aren't even as bad off as PLDs were in HW. you're fucking golden, bro. play that WAR and don't give in.

Tanking is great right now, are you high? The only fun thing about DPS is competing on meters. The problem with tanking is that it's a high responsibility role. You can fuck up and bring subpar numbers as a DPS and no one will complain, but if you fuck up as a tank, you're the worst player to ever exist in the eyes of your group.

>>382188668
He's not wrong stop making yourself look like an idiot. Warrior has the best cooldowns to take hits in tank stance. This isn't up for debate. Best dps in tank stance is up for debate. Drk might be better but I haven't seen any evidence.

>>382189148

You're an idiot. Passage of arms is good but it's a complete DPS loss so you want to avoid using it to self-mitigate as much as possible. Also, Inner Beast is better than Sheltron in pretty much every way. Of the three spot mitigation abilities (IB, TBN, Sheltron) Sheltron is actually the worst by a large margin. It only mitigates a single hit and the game has a lot of multi-hit tankbusters.

PoA is a raid-mitigation utility tool. The 100% block rate it gives the PLD is completely secondary.

I should add that WAR having the best self-mitigation isn't even new. It's always been like this, especially since HW where they added RI. It's just more noticeable in SB because they gained Rampart without losing much (both the other tanks "lost" their Rampart equivalent) and also because WARs can actually save their defensives now instead of burning them for stacks.

Can someone explain to me why people are complaining about warriors? All you did in HW was spam storm's eye and made sure you do 3 fell cleaves and a fracture in berserk. That was literally the entire job in HW and now that the job is a little bit more complex with deciding which combos to use to get gauge to 100 without wasting any of the resource by using upheaval at strategic points people complain? Like getting 6 FCs and a thrill of battle buffed upheaval in inner release berserk is really fun and trying to get 4 FCs in a normal berserk is much more engaging to pull off than the 3 FCs and fracture from before.

Is this a meme? Are people just that terrible at warrior that if it offers even a little more complexity they immediately jump ship? Cause I'm pulling 3kdps on lakshmi and susano as war so I can't help but feel people complaining that War feels clunky and broken need to learn the fucking job first.

The issue with warrior is stance dancing is a big thing but when they do it, it fucks over there rotation. So the warrior in my static just said fuck it and stays in dps 24/7 instead of swapping and losing the 50 meter.

Does SE need to rework elemental weakness/resistance or should they scrap that entirely?

Also, how would you make crowd control resistance, or opportunities to inflict, more visible?

Did they say whether or not the new tomestones they're adding next patch will be a PvP reward as well? I really hope so, it would suck to have to wait through DPS dungeon queues every time just to get some tomes.

You still get the highest tank damage? As MT and/or OT?
>>
>>382191156
>down to the level
sorry, but WARs are worse off than the other two tanks, that is an undeniable fact. most of it is because SE fucked up on their new design.

people are overreacting though. they are still perfectly capable of doing content and they aren't nearly as bad off as PLDs were in HW

WAR's issues arise when they have to switch stances. The job plays great if you stay in either Defiance or Deliverance 100% of the time. I'm curious to see what a WAR MT can pull.

>>382188703
On Primal it takes up to an hour to get into expert roulette, which takes 30-40 minutes before the game even assigns a waiting # to you, and other roulettes take about 30-40 minutes.

I blame a lot of it on the fact that there is an explosion of "returning" players that will likely piss off in a week or two when the free return runs out, as well as the populace at large dropping off when Omega Normal hits with the new tome tier and makes people realize they wasted a ton of time on Lak & Suzy EX for less than optimal drops.

>>382191016
I haven't tanked since about 3.2, but what makes DRK boring? I pulled it out last night and it seems to have all kinds of bloat and oGCD to abuse at 60.

>>382191286
I had someone nearly lock me out of the final boss of the storyline 70 dungeon since I guess they were doing roulette and I was watching the CS before the boss. If it wasn't for RDM's jump, I would have been locked out at the last second.

People really wanna save that 5 seconds or something in DF.

PLD I run with has frequently hit 3.1k~. no i don't have screenshots. i play a WHM so i don't give much of a shit for damage meters

3.5k+ is just shit i heard from top tier players i know, no reason to doubt them, but could be a stars align kinda thing. that guy's 2.6k is about average for mediocre PLD and DRKs right now though. you can find youtube vids of those two classes easily hitting those numbers.

Lyse only leads the resistance, which will probably stop existing by the end of the expansion when the country is back on it's feet.
And then Lyse will do some crap where she says "I've finished Yda and my Father's fight...Now it's time I finished Papalymo's" and rejoins the Scions.

That said Lyse really need to get on her knees and thank the WoL properly, as she wouldn't have an Ala Mhigo without them.
Three quarters of the alliance is shit and Ishgard is still hurting from the change of power, and most of the Scions are shitters, none of them would have been able to stop Zenos and they'd have all ended up dead at his feet.

problem is paladin has higher potency numbers across the board. they should be doing more damage on paper. and they should be doing more damage period because of those numbers, it just comes down to the player and latency. but i agree, overall from my experience tank damage has been relatively equal when OTing, but i've only seen like one warrior hit over 2.8k i've played with, hats off to the guy that did over 3k. shame warriors make garbage MTs if they want to put out MT DPS numbers. people are just flipping their shit about WARs but they aren't that bad off.

That would be one of the dumbest things the Garleans could do seeing as it would cause a confederation effect between the tribes as they would all have a common enemy to fight.

Kinda like that one tribe who wanted the explosives and guns from the ijin trader so they could become top dog on the steppes

Just had to run Lak for trial roulette. Okay, I can handle that, it's easy.HOWEVER. There was one person - a NIN - who was so functionally retarded that they cannot understand simple commands. After two or three wipes, they finally understood "Hey, when the lady uses the cutscene attack, use the fucking vril!" However, no matter how many times they were told, they could not figure out the AoE that pushes people back. After what must have been five deaths on the same mechanic, apparently they picked up that "hurr maybe i vril here, the angry guy says to use vril when theres a big aoe, does he mean this one? hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" and then they start drooling because the solitary braincell they have in their distorted cranium fired a synapse at the fucking ground. But no. Ending it there would be too good. I asked again: "Why aren't you using your vril there?" They tell me "I don't have any." I ask how. I tell them to run into the little blue orb that their peanut of a brain deciphers that their teammates all run into before they live. The NIN fucking dies again.

How can humanity be this retarded? What godawkful curse has befallen people that they can't just decipher clues that they should have followed for a long time by now, but they can't understand simple commands given to them by people who clearly know what they're talking about? And why do all the trogdolytes that represent this goddamned curse of stupidity upon mankind all congregate to FFXIV?

And while I'm at it, because typing this out didn't calm me down at all, why do the retards always lash out when called out on their retardation? Why can't they take a look at themselves and realize "Hey, maybe I should listen to the angry man telling me what to do, because I keep on dying and he keeps on living," and instead go "Naw, eat a dick," like some sort of sludge monster from the depths a stained asshole? Just... why?

Welcome to the wonderful world of raiding.
Were you here to clear the raid as soon as it went live? If not, please enjoy playing in an environment where one mistake can wipe a raid, and there are absolutely no barriers for participation. With a total lack of player quality assurance, and a large percentage of players looking for a carry, we are confident you will now never get that clear! And if you do, we hope you have fun with farm parties that are somehow much worse and cannot even pass phase 2!

If you're an asshole, you're going to put someone on the defensive no matter how true your words. Telling someone "get the fucking orbs you mongoloid" will not have great results even if it's accurate advice.

That said, shitters will always be shitters, and if they come around and git gud it will probably not be during the 30 minutes you spend carrying them. It comes along with self-reflection and the desire to improve themselves, which takes time and is not immediately observable to others.

But hey call them out on it. If they don't understand why they're dying they'll at least learn why, even if they think you're the biggest, stinkiest shit ever for being a rude jerk about it.

Because SE decided that you can't send tells to people while in a duty, even if they are within that duty.
After years of playing WoW, I've found that people are more willing to listen to suggestions and criticism when you do it in private.
When one person calls you out for being a brain dead retard in front of six other people, you're bound to go on the auto-defensive to try and save face.You know, because a lot of the people who play this game are socially anxious mother fuckers that perceive even the tiniest bit of negative feedback as an affront to everything they are.
It's just said because FFXIV doesn't allow any other way to try and correct this behavior besides calling them out in front of the group.

There's not much more else to say. Most tanks I have the displeasure of being forced to team up for 30-odd minutes are either trogdolytes who try to tank an entire dungeon when I try to heal, or so far up their own ass they can't even fathom the idea that they can be wrong, and then they leave and let the party wait another 10 minutes for another tank to show up. That's if the party doesn't disband before one can worm their way in.

Healers still stand around and do fuckall while watching their team kill things. I heal from time to time, I know that healing is always your priority. But HMM, there doesn't seem to be much damage coming in in this DF run of Satascha Normal. Maybe I should do something instead of standing here." And lo and behold, they stand there.

DPS are fuckwits who can't understand the idea of using their aoe skills to kill more than one mob at once, making us take forever to clear a fucking Copperbell jesus christ on a shitstick, or they run ahead because TANK TOO SLOW AND GOTTA KILL FAST like they think they're motherfucking Doomguy in potato form.

The worst part is I constantly subject myself to this. Day after day, I do my roulettes in the Duty Finder because my guildmates are all fucking each other, and day after day I become a little more saddened.

It's like a goddamned story or something.

Red mage isn't dragoon. It doesn't automatically light up all the abilities in the order you need to press them.

White/black magic and dual casting means there's an optimal order to cast spells.

Probably because they don't understand when to best use it. I will admit it is a very situational skill, but is great when used at the right time. It would have been godly on HW Scholar. They should have gave us that instead of Dissipation.

Honestly it's really self explanatory. Just never let your mana difference exceed 30 or else you'll get a 'debuff' that halves mana gain for the lesser mana until the gap is less than 30 mana again.

I think the otter can be acquired by all of the DoL retainers, but it comes from two of the high level fishing ventures as opposed to one for botanist and miner.

How is this fair? AAAAA. We can't have Touch of Death and Fracture, but they can have a 1 minute dot that ticks for 35 potency and has 240 initial damage? Then they also get an OGCD with 8 0 0 potency? W H Y? And we also get a shitton of nerfs across the board on top of losing skills that were relevant to us like ToD/Fracture/Blood For Blood.

I thought this was supposed to be O U R E X P A N S I O N ?

More power to you.

Expect to do marginally better DPS than a PLD if the planets align, and worse otherwise.

I am still baffled by the fact that most DRG SSS parses available are worse than MNK. What went so wrong?

SAM is shit lad. MNK parses higher than them, and RDM parses even higher.

Who said anything about afking?
I'll have you know that I've participated in every PvP match I've joined for EXP thank you very much. I see no reason to stand around doing nothing in a game I pay to play. I may as well go...You know, play.

>>382198593
Probably.
It's taken us 3 games, not including 1.0, just to finish Eorzea.
>>
>>382198881
That's unbuffed Higanbana. Buffed, it's 1410.
>>
>>382198696
MCH would be fine if they buffed overheat
>>
>>382198943
It's the only measure of healer viability as well. All Tank jobs and all Healer jobs are able to perform their basic function well enough. DPS is the only other thing they bring to the table.
>>
>>382198995
Damn that job is broken. Once again I'm reminded of the fact that big dick dps, no utility was monks job just few weeks ago.
An yet monk sucked at it.

shit parses thus far, so not broken

Send invite to as many people as you can.
Some of them are bound to accept.
Having a house helps too.
Later on you can purge anyone thats not active or that you jut want to kick the fuck out of your fc
>>
>>382199648
I've had a SAM finish Lakshmi at 4.5k, and I was at 3.7k as a BLM. If they are lucky and playing well, they will get that high. A good average for SAM I've seen is 3.7k

>>382199921
Yea, you're supposed to enjoy the story. If you don't, you're in for a long, boring slog.

Are you just fucking retarded? google any SSS SAM parse or just Momokun parsing.

Why? They've also stated it's not literally the same Ivalice on the FFXIV world, so we don't have to worry about continuity.

The starting missions are slow, you're in for a slog until after 35 or so. It sucks. Story picks up for a bit, then gets suck again from 2.3-3.0, where it picks back up again. HW and SB are decent (so far).

Of course, you can buy story skip potions, but only casual scum do that.

MCH honestly isn't bad, they just need to juggle a bunch of shit to maintain their DPS

I dunno, looking at the skills and fucking around with what tools I had at 60 it didn't seem that hard to maintain 50-100 heat. With the shot that reduces your heat it looks even easier. Just have to stay on top of your heat management skills.

Send whispers to every person you see without an FC. I can't tell you how many people I've gotten who've joined simply because someone finally asked them instead of just sending random invites.

Advertise in shout as well, but be clever about it.
