Nothing too crazy, but of course these are the normal versions.

Charybdis on V1 was a shock for most newbies, but nobody's wiped that I've run with.
The tentacles on V2 have caused a few issues until people understand it.
V3 has a lot to take in but it's pretty easy once learned.
V4 is a similar situation but does more consistent damage with less of a safety net.

So yoshi-p said he's going to address tanks equipping i270 strength accessories. If the people in charge of balancing were sane, this would mean putting strength on fending accessories or buffing the everloving SHIT out of tenacity. In the land of Yoshi-P, this probably means more accessories are going to get job locked.

I still don't understand how they managed to fuck tanks up so hard after all the progress they made in fixing them in HW.

>>382971141
probably something related to the weakness changes and wanting tanks to be punished just as much for dying as everyone else
all they have to do is add STR to accessories or make VIT boost their damage again, but we know neither is gonna happen

I sincerely hope it just involves slapping STR on fending accessories. It is the easiest and most sane solution. That's precisely why I doubt it will happen, because it is a simple and sane approach to a pretty big issue.

It's going to have to happen eventually when the queues reach critical mass and subs are on the line.

>>382971141
They seem to have misunderstood the reason tanks equip str acc in the first place which is why they buffed aggro with the patch.

I'm pretty sure they buffed aggro because low level tanking became even MORE impossible with their idiotic changes. It's something that largely benefits players who haven't gotten their tank stance and/or third hit in their enmity combo. Notice how the abilities that got buffed were largely the second hit in the combo (and flash, for some fucking reason got its effectiveness doubled).

But yeah, tanks are equipping str accessories because PEOPLE LIKE DOING DAMAGE AND FEELING LIKE THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING. Yeah, I know the average shitter is going to do so as well and give the healer a heart attack, and overall lower DPS, but the logic behind it is pretty straightforward.

People like seeing how far they can push themselves, if you want people to stop playing like retards stop making retard-tier play a more entertaining option than the alternative.

>>382972064

Aggro is literally not an issue except for brand new low level undergeared tanks with BLM/SAM/BRD in a party until 30. After that theres no excuse to lose aggro before this patch.

DPS isn't entirely blameless for why tanks keep loosing aggro.
I've seen how many people say they didn't bother grabbing Diversion.

>>382972349
>People like seeing how far they can push themselves
Yeah but isn't a tank's job to see how far they can push themselves in terms of mitigating damage and handling the boss and shit? I know that's boring but that's the job.

Everyone needs to realize Yoshida doesn't fucking want tanks to focus on damage, he wants them to focus on tanking. I know no one likes that but it's obvious that's what Yoshida intends by nerfing tank damage all the time.

Tanking is the easiest fucking job on the planet. After I establish aggro I have NOTHING left to do but act like a DPS with simple rotations who has to pop mitigation every now and again. The least that can happen is that my damage can at least be good if I play well.

Nigga they are in the most direct and effective way possible. This is why AST is so strong since they enable this further.

>>382972842
Except more vit doesn't really help mitigate anything technically, it just gives you a bigger margin of error, particularly on bosses, you either survive tank busters or you don't, if you survive with str acc, there's no point in more vit. And the only other defensive stat tenacity is currently shit useless.

>>382973194

also yeah i love how amazingly bad tenacity is

>>382971141
>fuck tanks up so hard
They got a 10% DPS reduction, if that.

This is the way tanks are supposed to be. The VIT change was a bandaid fix to prevent bad tanks from memeing with strength accessories and getting themselves killed because they sacrificed 25% of their health for 20% more damage. Tank damage is now back to where it should be, but tanks can't handle this. Yoshi probably thought "surely they will not be stupid enough to give up a quarter of their health to equip accessories that are 50 ilvls below current", but it turns out they are that stupid.

>B-but muh aggro
A fucking non-issue, one which tanks are only complaining about because they treat their aggro combo like it will give them aids. Use your aggro combo once or twice a minute, and wow, holy shit, you never come close to losing enmity.
>B-but muh deeps optimization
Its literally a tank's job to keep aggro. The entire point of the job is to balance their damage and enmity to try and do max DPS without losing control of the boss. The DPS meta and higher damage of HW has instead taught tanks that they are just a simplistic, heavily-armored DPS that pops a cooldown every now and then, and that aggro is something they establish within the first 10 seconds of a fight and then never worry about again.
>S-shut up! You've never tanked before!
I have 2 tanks at 70 and play them regularly.

Not that any of this matters because tanks have whined hard enough that Yoshi P is set to capitulate and buff their aggro so high they can take their aggro combo off their bars again.

>>382973364
And this is why DPS players can learn ACTUAL kung-fu in the span of time it takes for their monk to get into a dungeon or trial.

>>382972349
Nice meme, if I wanted to be playing offensively I'd play a dedicated damage job. I'm not equipping 270 STR accessories and I'm staying in Defiance unless I'm OTing because my job as a tank is to absorb damage and control where the boss/mobs are. Taking less damage and being durable should be your #1 priority as a tank, not LUL I CAN SQUEEZE AN EXTRA 100DPS - STUPID HEALSLUTS CAN ADJUST LMAO XDdd. Fuck that retardation.

>>382973498
I love seeing bad tanks put in input. I already talked about this a ton in other threads but I hate when the community goes and finds an effective way to play a class and the devs/part of the community try their hardest to shut it down because it has to be played a certain way the "intended" way. If more people thought like this shit like fighting games today would never exist or half of the iconic fps tech would exist no longer. Fuck it ya'll can have tanks back.

>>382973812
>Taking less damage and being durable should be your #1 priority as a tank, not LUL I CAN SQUEEZE AN EXTRA 100DPS - STUPID HEALSLUTS CAN ADJUST LMAO XDdd. Fuck that retardation.
Like others have said, VIT is a cushion past a certain point. You either die to the tank buster, or you don't, it's a binary situation. I do not agree with the idea of equipping i270 accessories because I play with pubs, but I understand the desire behind it.

But don't worry, I'm sure those horrendous DPS queues are because tanks are simply LOVING these changes.

>>382973514
This meme again. Tanks are the least played role because they are the de facto group leaders and have responsibility, in that the group is likely to wipe if they fuck up and die. It is not because they aren't fun enough, and it's definitely not because people are mad that they don't contribute enough damage. Hence why tanks are the least popular role in EVERY MMO EVER, not just XIV.

The way tanks are whining, you'd swear they outright removed the damage on all their attacks. But instead they went from 10% of raid DPS to 9% of raid DPS and they are acting like Yoshi killed their infant son. Bigger fucking babies than SCHs.

>>382970362
Did them all Hour 1 in PF
V1: One shotted, pretty easy to understand
V2: Tentacles caused confusion, but we got there
V3: Easiest for most of my group sans a few. They couldn't get the role/frog panels
V4: We all froze during the Tree Form Head drop as well as those the tank later forgetting about the knockback, so a two-shot.

Difficult is honestly perfect, just difficult enough to pick up mechanics without frustration but is still a challenge to get through as a group. I'm gonna laugh my ass off at the Savage versions though. Grand Cross is something I'm expecting and is gonna suck.

Can't think of any other, currently even on a full vit tank blackest night absorb something like 10k which is pretty much 1 low heal.

>>382973912
Yeah, in fact, they should just remove all damage from the game so healers and tanks can stop worrying about pesky things like their job and instead work on optimizing their complex DPS rotations. Also remove boss mechanics, they are a distraction and get in the way of the only fun part of this game, doing damage.

>>382973912
Oh, fuck off with that bullshit. You mean a minority of players figured out a way to play the game that was doable - but outside the intended vision of the developers. Which is totally fine, by the way, that's what makes RPGs interesting is when people find varying ways to solve problems. The issue is you retards started harassing and fucking with everyone else who didn't want to follow that paradigm. This high DPS tank bullshit is a relatively new idea in these games and it deserves to fucking die in the cradle. You're a god damn tank, you're there to take damage. Nu-tank faggots think they're DPSers with a Shield Wall, just fuck off.

>>382974060
>It is not because they aren't fun enough
NIgger they aren't fun at all. You just fucking stand there. YOU JUST FUCKING STAND THERE AND TAKE HITS IN THE MOST MUNDANE FASHION POSSIBLE. It is the most effortless, auto-pilot thing imaginable. Pushing the highest DPS possible was just a way to find some form of entertainment after you've established enmity, because jesus fuck what the hell else can you do.

WAR used to be fun because learning how to play it well was not only rewarding in terms of DPS, but found a way to put out great DPS while being a great tank. DRK was about managing a bunch of resources and knowing when and where to use certain abilities for maximum effect. WAR is now literally useless, and DRK is so fucking boring that if it wasn't for its capstone ability then the hardest part about tanking would be staying awake.

I want tanking to be fun, and I would absolutely not mind not having DPS if it meant tanking was fun in other ways. But since Yoshi will never make tanking fun, the least he can do is fix his shit so that I can at least DPS after establishing near-permanent aggro.

Horrendous DPS queues are a thing because they neutered all the tank jobs and then turned around and added not one but two shiny new DPS jobs, pretty sure it has less to do with a damage nerf and simply that it's brain numbing to play a tank that isn't Paladin.

>>382974060
>Bigger fucking babies than SCHs.

Hey man, it's fucking hard right now. Our shit costs more, and does less on average. We can't fall back on damage now either because we aren't AOE jesus anymore. We still have Chain strat which is great but otherwise we need a boost.

Still. All I can do now is hope things change and we stabilize. I'm tired of people acting like it's the nigger of Healing when we went from defacto Main to firm Off healer suddenly.

To be honest I think most people who say it's ruined are DPS and Tanks, and not Healers who are either just learning how it adapts or switching to WHM

>>382973912
HW having massive HP values so you can jerk off in DPS stance and never worry about taking damage is not emergent gameplay you fuck. Even when people were equipping STR accessories in ARR they generally couldn't do it during progression, only later when fights were overgeared. Which is why they tried to get rid of it, because you'd get Shitter McGee in your dungeon barely passing the ilvl requirement with all strength accessories and trying to DPS stance with no cooldowns.

>>382974227

>>382974490
Tanks still do damage last time I checked.

10%. 1% of raid DPS. That's what you're shitting your pants over.

>>382974338
On savage; everyone is expected to squeeze out as much as they can from their job, that also means dps out of tanks and healers unless you want to put permanent pressure on them to stick to their role, but ultimately all of it is gonna fall on healers because you can't "tank more" properly speaking.

>>382972016
they'll have to put STR on fending accessories without making it too much, while also ensuring they can't go hogwild by melding STR on top of that so they'll probably have to make the cap 'low' on them, where they'll have already have capped stats on STR.

But you're right it's a simple solution since SB accessories are role locked.

>WAR was cut off at the knees
Because they lost such critical and complex skills as.... Bloodbath? Brutal Swing? Oh, the stance swap cost, right? You know that like 99% of tanks never turn off tank stance when MTing? Failing that just take the penalty, it's not like they literally cannot stance swap. WAR plays exactly the same as it did.

>DRK is now the most rote shit ever
So DRK was good because it was about resource management, but when they add more resource management, it's bad? I guess you're actually complaining because they took away some brainless upkeep debuffs and oGCDs you hit the second the light up?

I don't claim to be a good ninja, I fumble my buttons and manage to badly unsync my cooldown lineups, but the basic rotation is and was pretty simple:
Keep up the slashing debuff, keep up your DoTs, refresh Huton with armor crush if you drop below 40, use trick attack and your other cooldowns besides duality as soon as they become available.

Not that bad really.

>Because they lost such critical and complex skills as.... Bloodbath? Brutal Swing? Oh, the stance swap cost, right? You know that like 99% of tanks never turn off tank stance when MTing? Failing that just take the penalty, it's not like they literally cannot stance swap. WAR plays exactly the same as it did.
The amount of density displayed here should reasonable have created a black hole where this site's servers are located.
>class all about being a big meaty motherfucker with tons of self-sustain and big dick damage, but no utility
>no self-sustain
>damage is the same as every other tank
So now we have a tank with no utility, no self-sustain, the same damage as every other tank, and as an added bonus is a huge pain in the ass for healers to babysit because his mitigation is mediocre. But no, WAR is fine.

>>382976202
It's not like WAR doesn't have 4 other self healing skills or anything. I suspect they won't be satisfied until they no longer need a healer at all. In which case they could always play PLD.

Clemency is pretty fucking ridic. First run of O2 and the last 20% of the boss, everyone was dead except me and 2 PLDs and we still cleared just by Clemency.

WAR is actually fine.
And so is SCH.

One has a significant enough cooldown to where it can't be reasonably factored in for overall self-sustain, inner beast and storm's path heal for an absolutely worthless amount, and equilibrium is nice but still fucking garbage. It's like you don't even play WAR or something, which is pretty fucking obvious.

>>382976728
>>What are Storm's Path, Inner Beast, Equilibrium and Thrill of Battle? I guess they don't count, huh. Bloodbath was the TRUE glue holding the entire job togehter.
The first two abilities had their healing nerfed into the dirt, equilibrium is nice but not nearly enough on its own (or even combined really), and thrill of battle is on a fucking two minute cooldown on a class that's taking heavy damage constantly.

I think that's what they want to do, starting with that whole GC squadron nonsense.

I never have the right stat balance for missions so I just get it as good as I can and send them out; mostly they fail, but sometimes they succeed. Seems like a min/maxing autist's dream, but it sure as heck isn't fun for me.

>>382986287
They really should split them. Like ACN going into SCH makes sense from both a mechanics view and lore wise based on the job quests while SMN has always felt off being connected to SCH.

>>382967461
Fucking hate getting that trial when I was autistically rerolling for khloe points. Tossup whether i'd help shitters power through or they were just too shit to even bother doing well, it's so damn aggravating.

>>382986541
>>382986640
Yeah I didn't mean that the shared class is a good idea or that it should stay, just that SE was retarded and fucked themselves by making it and now are making things even dumber at the moment by trying to fix it.

>>382986868
They are pretty much stuck with it now, since it's not like they can just change SMN's weapon from a book to something else now since it's been this way since the beginning.

>>382986640

At this point you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. There are so many people wrapped up in the unique identity of SCH and SMN that even if they only play one of those jobs, they will throw the world's biggest bitchfit about splitting them off. Never mind that it would be better for both classes to be separated since SCH feels like a half-assed healer until 50 and SMN has no practical use for Physik.

Most of the problems are for SCH, honestly. Outside of Physik, all of their healing is tied to job quests and Aetherflow so the DPS and support utilities can be shared from ACN. DPS on a healer is better than healing on a DPS but SCH's a clusterfuck of Aetherflow management and janky low-level healing because of it. I don't think SE can design or balance healers for shit. They must all be DPS players since the tanks and healers are far worse off than the damage dealers are.

>>382986868
If it's a shit idea then there's no problem in trying to mitigate the shitness of it and giving them separate abilities.

It's more complex than it was in 3.X, unless you consider maintaining scourge and pressing low blow whenever it lit up to be super difficult.

What's the most brain dead tank job in the game?

I already have SCH and SAM under my belt. Looking to fill the holy role trinity of netflix-tier jobs.

>>382987742
PLD

>>382987742
DRK has probably both the lowest skill floor but also the highest skill cealing

>>382987742
drk

>>382967461
Cuck

>>382987567

Class identity isn't worthless. BLM can't move as much as SMN or RDM but they shit damage and kill it with AoE damage. SAM is probably over-tuned and MNK and DRG are under but nothing's perfect on launch- they'll get them fixed up. Meanwhile no new healer or job classes but PLD and AST are must-haves while the other two in each role fight for sloppy seconds. Or, in the case of SCH, weep. Healer balance has been wacked ever since 3.0 hit and AST and PLD were considered "underwhelming".

>>382972414
this. It's actually pretty cool to watch the improvements in each new iteration. This is clearly kind of new to them (since it's so different from XI) and sometimes they fuck up, like Diadem.

The one thing that's stayed consistent is the quality of the music though, which I'm really happy about.

>>382987560
Why did they decide non-combo GCD DoTs are the devil though, Scourge is whatever but it's weird they're all gone.

>>382987923
>>382987859
DRK has the highest apm of any tank by far unless you're literally just ignoring your dark arts button.

>>382987742
Drk or Pld. War is literally harder than some dps jobs now to maintain dps.

>>382987681

After the latest patch a lot of people are getting disconnected frequently apparently due to anti-DDoS measures. It seems to mostly be happening to EU people playing on NA servers.

They don't really add anything to the job and it's taking a button that could be used by something more intrinsic to the rotation.

>>382988080
I'm a DRK. Pressing DA between almost every GCD isn't complex.

>>382988073
They should have just rolled them into other abilities instead of culling them entirely, kind of like PLD Goring Blade combo. They wanted to add more exciting buttons and get rid of padding/"boring" abilities.

what is the least braindead job out there
everything I've tried so far has such a stale rotation

>>382987993
PLD was initially iffy because Gordias was magic heavy and its magic mitigation was relatively shitty but still getting taken, it wasn't until DRK was buffed that it ended up in the cuckshed

>>382988073

I guess they wanted to remove "unnecessary" DoTs where there was no strong case in having one. Every job had one but it was an afterthought in your rotation- re-apply the DoT then use x- rather than something integral to the identity and playstyle of the class. The logic behind removing it and reserving DoTs for a select few classes is clear, but the effects vary. MNK sucks without it, while other classes aren't much different. Classic SE taking a crapshot and hoping it all works out okay.

>>382988293

which games

>>382988330
Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden Black, Ragnarok Online, Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, Guilty Gear

Dark arts in between every ability doesnt make it hard. APM is a poor measure of difficulty.

>>382988472
RO is the closest. But it plays more like a high impact action game than a gcd restricted one.

>>382988330

You won't find anything too difficult in an MMO. They're designed to be accessible to as many people as possible.

If you just want to push a lot of buttons you can play DRK, NIN, BRD, MCH, or RDM. They encourage you to always do something. Especially RDM since it works off of procs so you don't have a rotation so much as a priority system that you have to monitor on the fly as you execute mechanics. It's not rocket science but it's at least more fun than memorizing an unchanging string of moves.

This game is doing a very bad job of making me hate the "villains"

>Ugestu calls them out on it and says they're stagnating

Jesus Christ no wonder Doma and the rest are a bunch of cucks.

Also, it pisses me off seeing political shit like this because it is obvious the nips are navie as fuck about the outside world if they can lavish nonsense about revolution is bad and purging corruption is evil since the nips don't have to deal with the shit that the US and other western countries have to deal with since they're on an island and the most ethnocentric.

I somehow found myself in the dream group, we were getting 8 minute kills without wiping over and over again. Unfortunately over 20 kills we only got one doggo drop, and I didn't win. Still, 20 tokens is 1/5 of the doggo and the speed of the kills was very satisfying.

>>382988780
>trap parties
what?

>>382988329
From a flavour/job mechanics standpoint sure, but there's no such thing as 'unnecessary dots' from a dps standpoint, they're almost always great to have since the tradeoff for damage over time is they do a fuckton of damage for 1 button press.

Really sucks for jobs like mch who had their best ability taken away and the job they're competing with for raid spots has the two strongest dots in the game by far. Even if they fix mch's abysmal numbers now, they'll still gonna autolose to bard in any fight with multiple targets. Not having dots is a serious mechanical weakness.

>>382988826
never said it was, but DRK is now really fucking spammy with very little thought involved. Only thing that can really set you apart from other DRKs is your willingness to use Blackest Night effectively on people other than yourself... It's fucking sad. They ruined my favorite job.

>>382988683
If the devs had actually read anything about history they would know that revolution is never a bad thing.

The Untied States of America wouldn't have existed without a revolution and America needs another revolution because the country has gotten so corrupt from the leaders to the apathetic citizens that it is only a matter of time before it becomes a third world country.

>>382988791
Musosai really half ass his ideals and was a hypocrite in the end. He goes on about purging evil but when real evil shows up in his homeland by the name of the Bakufo he pussies out.

The SAM 50-60 quests were really good. That 54 duty really separated the true samurai from the baka gaijins.

How do you not have enough MP for six F4s with UHs? MP is a pretty static thing on BLM.

>>382987141
one simple thing they can do is keep SMN as is mostly, but make SCH an extra job, which just has its own entirely consolidated moveset from the ACN list.

sure, you can keep aetherflows, you can keep the fairy but you can actually build its moveset around a scholar theme. Give it Helix spells. Use the different Statagem ability names from XI. Do whatever you can to give it its own identity rather than "discount SMN that heals"

I'm no history buff, but I'm pretty sure this is completely and utterly wrong.

>>382989067

I actually had to pay attention during that, it was a nice change. It might be the nature of the class but the RDM fights were piss-easy thanks to Vercure. I didn't even bring Antidotes for the final fight- sure the game told me in ALL CAPS that I would want them, but only the shittiest of shitters would actually need that reminder.

>>382989243
Then you sacrifice yourself instead of fucking over the whole group.

>>382988645
NIN has a bunch of above average execution requirements to do some of their stuff - but mainly because you're fighting latency in general and not due to the job inherently being designed to be difficult to play.

Just jank stuff like having to cancel a weaponskill into an ability at the right time in their opener - buffer it too early or late and you fuck up something down the line.

It's not like you're doing 1f links or anything - mmos will never be on that level - and the payoff isnt even that good vs not caring and just doing it wrong, but it's just neat that little things like that exist. MCH had a lot of stuff like that back in 3.x too, sadly all gone now.

God damn everyone here is such a whiny fucking BABY. DRK is more complex now than it has ever been. Like, I cannot even fathom how someone could think otherwise unless they never even touched anything except their weaponskills.

>>382989071

I see it happen a lot with healer because for some reason they seem to think they're immune to getting marked with a lot of the mechanics during Susan. But people in general just get fucking tunnel vision and are too busy pressing buttons to pay attention to shit happening around them. There's not even that big of a randomness factor to it and you have a good 4-5 seconds to move if you get marked, which is plenty of time to get over to the other side.

>oh hey someone else got marked which means there's a chance I might get marked next. better pay attention so I'll be ready.

Is apparently too hard of a concept to understand for 95% of the playerbase.

It is more complex at 70, but sadly that's all. I understand why they balanced everything at 70, but it's detrimental to some jobs at certain levels in boring ways.

I agree. It's so fucking insignificant now, unless you're getting literally dunked by tankbusters you barely regen any mana at all. Susans swings were giving me something stupid like 150 mp per hit.
