Why are healers in xiv so fucking pissy all the time? Literally every last one I met has either been:
>uppity entitled bitchy "im the only one keeping you alive/oh guess what? No heals for you"
>screams at me and party to get the fuck out of aoe
>blamed tanks for everything
>talk shit to new players who don't know shit
Is it just my god damn imagination?

When you have to deal with the retardation of most people on a daily basis, it does that to you.
>>
>>384248967
whole thing started as a retarded meme "have you thanked your healer today" which is obviously bate, you could say "have you thanked your tank today" because good luck healing and not getting wrecked without a tank. the whole party works together as a whole, but retards took the meme to be literal and now 70% of healers think they're carrying the party and are utter morons

>>384250238
I have never had a problem with tanks or as a tank in XIV. It's either lack of heals or people getting hit by avoidable damage.
There are VERY few mechanics for tanks to fuck up, and even fucking them up rarely leads to a wipe any more than a DPS getting hit by avoidable damage. Less so in fact since tanks have stupid big health pools and enough cooldowns to rotate throughout an entire fight, whereas a DPS will just instantly die.
>>
If I do buy this game, How would I go about doing things good? Should I start as support like a tank or healer or dps? That lancer class looks really cool since i'm a sucker for spears.
>>
>>384250553
>this abortion is what qualifies as a MMO nowadays

>>
>>384250234
Unlike tank and dps, healers role is not only heal required damage, but to fix fuckups. As a result, they notice when people fuck up, and it makes their job harder. That's what makes them displeased.
>>
>>384251008
Lancer/Dragoon is probably the most boring class by far in XIV until you hit 50. In addition, dragoon works far harder than other classes while bringing less DPS and a negligible amount of utility. If you don't care about big numbers and just like spears and jumps, it'll probably be okay. Your queue times for dungeons will be a nightmare without a tank or healer friend to queue with you, but most of the game can be soloed until endgame.

YES, MEDICA II DOES GENERATE A SHITLOAD OF ENMITY WHEN YOU KEEP IT ROLLING UNNECESSARILY

Never met anything like this in the game, so guess op post is bait or some epic maymay
The biggest problem with healers are the fact that some of them don't dps
>>
>>384251008
I started as lancer too, but you don't really get any good skills until level 26 or so. The class aesthetic is real nice though. Tanking is probably something you want to pick up as well, if only for the queue times for dungeons.

>>384251203
Only at ~level 40 onwards. Before then, and especially in the low level dungeons you'll just be spamming your one aoe aggro move and a 1-2(-3) combo. Once you get all your cool shit the role can become really engaging though.
>>
>>384251112
your whole post is retarded, i notice fuck ups and fix fuck ups no matter what job i play, as healer if someone pulls 2 things i have to heal more stuff, as dps if something attacks healer i'll hit it to take the heat off the softer members as tank if i don't get healed i'm gonna die, i notice fuck ups from any perspective, healers are not special, no one is

Are you new to mmos? Here's how things work:

Tank players are Bros, raid leaders and explain the mechanics/calls out when someone fucks up in a good way

Healers are bitches, usually scream a lot and have 0 autocritic

You can do melee combo without raising mana above 50 if you hit right numbers
>>
>>384251597
Fast enough that you can, for the most part, level a tank alongside your DPS just by doing daily dungeon roulettes and any dungeons required by the main story. The leveling experience in this game overall is quite leisurely. You won't really find any spots where you need to take a break and grind out a few levels (unless you want to).
>>
>>384251964
oh? that must be kinda rng to get the right numbers so is it even worth it?
>>
>>384251964
the problem with this is that you're intentionally not dualcasting or using weaker spells to get the mana numbers balanced properly. no one has ever mentioned a proper rotation that isn't a DPS loss
>>
I'm not bothering with savage mainly as I don't have the time, and i've already experienced the story and I don't care about the "dyed gear"

How
About
You thank your healers for once fuckwit
>>
>>384251548
This is all heretical.

The way it works is the healer, the tank, and the chanter are three hypostasis in one ousia. They exist in communion with the grindstate, and they sit unmoving as if dead but they are not dead, they are simply the hardest core.

The DPS are the shitty commoners who come to pay their respects in the hopes of recieving exp.

Raiding is for casuals. Its a heresy designed to let people feel they are obtaining the state of hardcore while only playing a few hours a day. Hardcore is only obtained through constant diligent sacrifice and meditation on the grindstate.

All modern mmo are heresy, raid leaders are false profits fallen to prelest.
>>
>>384252068
it's a DPS loss no matter what because the opposite color gains mana slower and to get the bug to work you have to cast weaker spells in succession, but it's still a bug none the less.

When I heal I only ever commend the DPS if things are going abnormally fast and I can single out a DPS who is doing a ton of damage.

But in the case of AoE pulls in dungeons the speed of the dungeon is also accredited to the tank's pulling so it's a tossup who to thank for it.

Very much like WoW, but also controller friendly and has a
>2.5s GCD

Which might make things feel really slow at first but only skills depend on the GCD. You will get a lot of abilities as you level and you can use them any time (off GCD), so fitting abilities between you skills will make playing your job feel more involved.

At least if the healer sucks, I can clemency as a Paladin. Also if DPS are Red Mage or Summoner they can heal and resurrect too.

I feel like good healers can compensate for deficiencies in the other two. Good DPS can also take the workload off healers by moving the fight along. But things get fucked if the tanks don't know the mechanics.

>>384248967
I recently started to play healer because of the horrible dps queues.

What I noticed the most after playing for a while that I became much more aware of mechanics. I took note of cast bars and emotes and what exactly dealt damage to me and my party.

When I'm dps I am (and have to be) so fixated on my cooldowns and rotations to get out the maximum amount of dps possible that often times I cannot spare the attention to take note of my health bar. Not even when I was playing tank was I this accutely aware of what's going on.

In my opinion every healer should really play a challenging dps for a while to see what the other side is like, certainly helped me.

I play a shit ton of WHM and WAR, overall healing is pretty easy. I've found tanking to be more of a pain with dps ignoring mob numbering and just attacking anything, making it harder for me to hold aggro and do what I want.

Healing is annoying as fuck when people ignore mechanics and die a ton, especially if they blame you that they died after taking an easily avoidable 80% health hit. Even as a tank I've found that most melee dps I play with just ignore cast timers and always get hit by aoe circles.

I played with a tank in XIV yesterday who:
Went AFK several times.
Stood in AoE markers and took the hits.
Wasted the LB if the DPS didn't use it immediately, didn't even bother to call it out in case they didn't notice. Also complained about it after wasting it a few times.
Got pissy with the DPS for pulling aggro from him.
Stood POINT BLANK next to a radial marker (specifically Ivon Couerlfist's) and blamed me for him dying.
Avoided the stack marker leaving a FPS to die and me to barely survive because "I only had half my health (72%) it ia your fault shitter".
Had Sword Oath on half the dungeon.
Called me a bitch at the end of the run for telling him to pay attention to AoEs.

No, tanks are fucking trash. Healers and DPS can be shit, too, but nowhere near as entitled and narcissistic as tanks.

>>384256137
Bane is 8 potency per enemy per tick. Maybe if they made Bane actually a DPS gain over multidotting it would be usable, but I'm relatively certain that if you did the math the number of enemies required for that would be higher than the amount that could physically fit within Bane's radius.
>>384256219
So one CD and one GCD that is only a DPS gain with a huge number of enemies, sounds amazing.

Two AOE attacks, one of which is only usable at 7 enemies and another which is a CD with only 33% uptime
Compared to AST and WHM which have spammable 200 potency AOE and oGCD AOE damage spells with much higher potency
I'd also like to point out that WHM has stronger DoTs than SCH and AST has stronger shields, there is now a job that literally has no reason to exist whatsoever
of course you stupid cocksucking faggot summoner whiny cunt bitches are fucktards and don't care about balance because you're shit at the game.

I played tank in this game for a bit until I quit after a couple months. Like the other guy said, lower levels are boring but it gets better once you get all the skills for a full rotation.

How is it my fault you keep standing in AoEs and doing shit wrong? I didn't force the MT to ignore the towers in Sephirot EX. I didn't make the DPS avoid the stack marker over and over.

You can't really blame them since Yoshi decided to get rid of all of their mitigation besides one single skill due to them getitng a shield at level fucking 70 instead of a reasonable level like 62.

Marauder, sorry.
>>
>>384261087
I started as a archer but couldn't deal with the DPS queue times so I switched to Marauder. It's pretty straight forward. Tanks are the easiest role in the game when you think about it. They don't have to optimize rotations or move around often, they just stand still and pop a skill when about to get hit.

You don't have to know anything beforehand. Never listen to casuals who tell you to use guides for specific dungeons/bosses. Even extreme/savage ones.

You DO have to know how your class works though, so read a guide on that at some point.

>xD healsluts so funny

>why do healers always whine??

No, I don't want to take your dick up my ass. No, I don't think wiping on an encounter is fun because people want to fuck up on the mechanics of a rather simple tank and spank. Yes, I fucking get irritated when the DPS or tank's job is so simple that you just have to avoid a fucking orange circle on the ground but refuse to do so because 'ha ha a healer is SUPPOSED to heal everything!'

The game's piss easy as it is, but I still get mouth breathers who can't AoE large pulls, or single target on a mob to burn through it faster. And don't suggest I haven't been a tank or a DPS- they're both easy fucking jobs that have relatively simple rotations, just like healing does. The difference is people are fucking retarded and mess up on the most simple of mechanics. That's why I get irritated, not the fact that their jobs are 'easy'.
>>
>>384261087
I've never played a holy-trinity mmo before xiv and I found marauder really fun and easy. Plus most of the time you'll be off-tanking as your job anyway (warrior) so you'll be fine. I don't recommend starting as gladiator though, since you'll probably be required to always MT.

I thought I wasn't clearing this that night, but we only wiped twice.

I started as a MRD. I thought it'd be cool to be able to tank and still DPS if I felt like it, and I had just come from WoW as a Paladin. To my surprise, FFXIV didn't have dual classing as its predecessor, and all classes/jobs were locked into a single role, enforced by the duty finder. Didn't matter though since I mainly wanted to tank.

A buddy started playing alongside a few others of us, he had similar tastes and also leveled a MRD. I switched to PLD to have something different, got both of the jobs to 50, then I quit after Labryinth because I remembered why I quit MMOs back in the day (Gear grinds bore the hell out of me, I enjoy doing content once or twice unless it's just really fun.).

I came back mid-HW, wound up leveling my PLD to 60, then my WAR, and then a DRK. My buddy stopped playing because while he loves raiding and doesn't mind a gear grind, he hates the main story with the white hot passion of a thousand suns and can't bring himself to go any further on it now that he's married and doesn't have a lot of time. Out of all the tanks, I like WAR the most, PLD is pretty cool too.

Other classes have set rotations that need to be done or serious DPS loss. This counts phase changes or bosses zipping around or avoiding AoEs.

Red Mages are lots of procs and you cannot really fuck it up unless you cast something other than holy/flare when they are up, which you generally never do again.

Red mages are on the same level as bards, no real rotation, easy to play but highly fucking effective.

Dont be lazy, and actually be the person who has to do someone elses work when they decide to be lazy like you.

There's literally no difference between a Healer and a DPS.
There's no skill required since all you do is stand behind the tank and try to move health bars around. Both need to make sure they don't pull agro and don't stand in front of AOE attacks.
DPS moves health bars to the left, Healers move health bars to the right.

Although healer arguably requires more skill mind you given that they need to be paying attention.

Not him but healers really don't require a lot of skill and this is coming from one.

>>384252280
You thank the lone dps 1v1ing the boss on his last health percentage after everyone wiped.
You thank the tank for doing huge pulls and goes balls deep with the raid.
You thank the healer when he rezzes everyone and avoiding a wipe.

Medals are not given to a soldier that did his job, they're given to those who went above and beyond.

>>384266910
It's fun but not really complicated if that's what you care about. Leveling is mostly spamming PotD and roulettes if you already did MSQ

Here's what BRD has to keep track of:

DoTs
Chain Stratagem/Litany for super DoTs
Raging DoTs < Crit%+ DoTs in general
Raging DoTs > Crit%+ DoTs if crit % dots have 3 ticks left
Varying Pitch Perfects based on which DoTs are up
Seeing 1 min ahead of the fight whether you can get more time into WM using Army's Paeon stacks
Delaying Minuet if it suits another part of a fight (3rd Minuet on Lakshmi)
Keeping Nature's Minne up on the MT during things like susano lightning
Being active with Nature's Minne in general
Using Palisade as planned by the raid group
Foes optimal uptime (aka. not using it right after lakshmi's phasing so its not wasted by divine doubt)
Refresh cd so you can foes again 1 min later
Delaying Empyreal by 1-2 gcds if you can get a clean gcd -> Bloodletter Empy -> gcd Bloodletter instead of wasting a possible proc.
Watching timers so that you end Paeon at 20s and start Minuet when Ballad is at 30s cd

What could possibly make you think this is one of the best FF games when you are level 27 and nothing whatsoever has even happened in the story yet? Please explain yourself.

I don't know what kind of exhaustive definition of "content" you have or if you just play really casually but it's not one of XIV's strengths. Main story is all fine and good if you're into that kind of thing but as far as actual relevant shit to do once you hit cap there isn't much. Gearing out is pretty fast and if you have a group of people with half a brain to play with clearing the hardest raids is maybe another 2-3 weeks tops. Then you're stuck waiting for months for the next tier. 2.0 had this problem, HW had it, and I don't see it getting better in SB especially after YoshiP's meme "give the players time to do other things" quote.
>>
>>384267372
Only if you dont trust the healer. I'd have clemency on some of these plds and 3 AF stacks and these fuckers would still do it. Its better to leave it to the healer. GCD giving damage>GCD healing. Maybe with the other healers I'd understand but SCH is literally the ogcd clutch healer. All you are doing is wasting MP that could be used on the PLDs spell. A lustrate is instant.

Please put faith in your healer guys.

It's less the game has no content but more that the game doesn't waste your time. They could easily have crafter AF3s to remain as difficult to get as AF2s was in 3.0. They could easily have had hunts been the only way to upgrade Ala Mhigan gear. The content introduction rate of FFXIV is still by far one of the fastest in the industry. That's probably why content stagnates because not only do they not have a PTR, they literally have 3-4 months ahead of the playerbase to prepare content, get the music, design the fights. They could spend more time to design more creative content, but the people in FFXIV are already very used to th current patch speed.

>>384268194
healers require better judgment, while DPS requires better mechanical execution.

tanks are piss easy though, no doubt about that
>>
>>384268194
Depends on the job really. I've played all of them pretty evenly and all the tanks are by far the easiest to play and get good at because they don't have much they can improve on. Healers and DPS truly shine when they try to reach new heights and get into a friendly rivalry with another heal/DPS.

you're too young to realize that that is what a MMO is (was). the instant gratification generation came along and whined when they had to spend more than an hour to be the best in the game. sadly that generation was more profitable to cater to so now you get a game where you click duty finder to be paired up with random shitters instead of having to be social and make friends to do things with

There are two types of PUG/rando healers in any MMO. The first is a whiny pile of shit who think they are entitled to whatever they want, the second is not an entitled cunt but still hates you even if they don't say it because just like every healer thinks they are hot shit so does every fucking tank and they have to follow the tank. Either way why the fuck are you and the party standing in the AoE, is it some mechanic where you need to stand in the AoE or are you just a cunt who makes others job harder and then complains when they complain?

To be fair there are tanks who just run through half the map in one go, pulling all the mobs and die super fast because it is not humanly possible to heal the amount of damage they are taking from literally 20 guys at once.

People who value numbers over their own enjoyment. People who will pass over good players because they don't play the meta jobs. People who pressure their group members to change jobs because they're obsessed with fflogs.

This game, like most MMOs, is full to the brim of autismos who do not care about having fun, and who actually hate the majority of the game (see: most of the players in these threads). All things are secondary to the primary goal: getting loot. Things which are meant to be interesting, or fun, or cool, or challenging, or reward skill, are instead seen as nuisances. They are barriers that get in the way of getting loot. Jobs are thought of not in terms of gameplay but in terms of buffs and nerfs, and their performance relative to other jobs. If they came out with a job that only had 1 ability that was a 500 potency ranged AoE with no cooldown, most players would probably laud it as the best job ever, because it doesn't have any pesky mechanics that get in the way of dishing out top numbers and therefore, getting loot.

I have zero respect for people who play jobs because they are strong and not because they like the playstyle. They should go jack off to a calculator and save video games for people who enjoy them.

>>384272973
I played all 3 tanks at 60 for Heavensward, currently working on my second 70 tank and my second 70 healer. Every dungeon pull in this game is gated to an extent, a decently geared healer can heal through all that garbage with cooldowns providing the tank is also on the ball with theirs.

>I have zero respect for people who play jobs because they are strong and not because they like the playstyle
This can actually be a double edged sword. I did this mistake in BDO, played a Kunoichi(the weakest class in game) because I enjoy the aesthetics and playstyle. But after spending countless hours grinding and even being a top geared player the class was just so weak it's hard to enjoy myself. Mind you that this is a PvP focused game.

But yeah in games like FFXIV were the difference in balance in minuscule and the content is really easy it does not make any different what class you play, but sadly some games are just really unbalanced that it could make some difference.
>>
>>384273514

So I heard that you can change class if you just switch weapons? How long does that take?

I started on the free trial. I'm level 10 as an Arcanist, but I really wanted to go Paladin or Black Mage, but I didn't like the starting town for black mage and magic won out in the end.

>>384274408
Think around level 10 there's a quest that tells you about being able to change classes. You still have to unlock the class at the appropriate guild though so you won't be able to change to GLD until you reach Ul'dah which i think is around level 15.

Aether servers are where you get Balmung players, sure they get a lot of people, but theyre also the E/RP central. From what I know their refugees flooded Mateus and it's a shithole there now. I'm sorry you're sharing a space with those degenerates, my dude.

Nope, theyre literally the worst dps right now, outside of PvP. theyre getting some buffs soon though. hopefully it'll pull them out of the shithole theyre in.
