FFXIV Slander - Job Pain Edition 

It's fine, DF randoms don't know either.

I had that experience when I got the level 63 Stormblood trial in roulette and the healers and a couple other dps were somehow *really* struggling and kept dying. At the end one of the healers raged a bit about the RDMs not raising… the trial may be synced to 64 for those higher, but I was level 63 and had to explain why that was impossible >_>

Some people also ask why the dancers aren’t partnering anyone, in synced level 50 content

it's okay it takes them til about 72 to start using it anyway

no worries, it's not your verfault

we had no choice of course, but we found a way

Idk why we would complain tho, we have more than enough gap closers.

Forward Air Backflip into Spineshatter/Dragonfire is peak mobility. No complaints

I'll raise you when inevitably fuck it up

I thought it was RIP Kaiten

It hurts, so fucking much lol

Even worse is when I cast either of them when they're still active instead of doing iron jaws. I just imagine everyone in the party laughing derisively at me lmao.

Doesn't your TBN have priority over the others TBN? IIRC, mine would break first, then the OT's TBN will be next.

@@Slenderguy56 No when you have TBN and another DRK give you his TBN, he overwrite your TBN and "you" waste one free Edge of Shadow.. a Darkknight is the WORST Co-Tank that you can have as Darkknight You can't have two TBN in the same time

@@kohlicoide2258 Noted

I do it to assert dominance, not to help him.

Its super annoying had one back Shadowbringers in warrior of light ex. He/she pissed me off. 😅

As a DRK main, I consider offing myself if my TBN doesn't break

*heavy sigh*

ROCK AND STONE !

What about Arcane Crest not breaking? Kinda a similar thing cuz you don't get the huge regen on the party out of it

Not really we can jump to the boss lmao

DPS, looking up at the dark knight.

Tbf, on UWU there are times I bit the bullet and were like, alright, Clemency's going back on the hot bars. That was mostly when out healer taht actually heals couldn't make it and our fill healer also doesn't heal much, meanwhile I'm out here taking tank busters from and ad and surviving on 3k hp with CDs on. When you die to spiny twice, you just decide it's better to drop damage and prog than whipe. As for why I don't use pots, I huff the copium and STR pot on Ifrit to hope whatever little extra damage a PLD gets out of pots can help us push before dashes.

As a sage/scholar main that also tanks with pally and war. I can honestly say I would never ridicule a tank that carries potions. In fact if tanks hp drops below 50% especially in massive pulls there can sometimes be a 5-10 second window or so that a barrier healer can struggle with. This is especially true if one isn't that proficient with the proper dmg mitigation shields. So yeah carrying extra pots is a great idea.

Think of it as a worst scenario remedy if you have a decent healer.

As someone who does not do any high level raiding because I am absolutely not coordinated enough for it, seeing "UWU prog" just dealt a massive amount of psychic damage to me.

Bruh, I'm a AST main and I keep super-ethers and max potions to hand. You never know when things are going to derail, and where half your team dies with lb being on the second bar.

lvl 50 dungeons when you dont even have raw intuition is so pain

As a WAR main, ikr 😔

The thing is, he said the number wrong. It's one thing to be synced down below level 70. It is a whole other level of pain to be synced below level 56. >.

I agree the pain is immense...

Ditto 😢

Or dead healer 👀

@@cattysplat Or bot healer

+

Before reaching heavensward as a PALADIN, my hotbar was full of potions!

Having a free ogcd 30% heal is always a nice option in my book.

A back flip can send you forward if your wise enough.

@@sinfulbluez1634 but also back in place?

@@Crazy-Jukebox No. But that sounds like a cowards upside. Make your Dash/Flip with conviction. COMMIT TO THE ACTION! Also we don't use portals. So unless you got Alexander on speed dial, to rewind actions, we're not gonna be able to undo a Flip.

@@sinfulbluez1634 High Jump says hi.

@@MyVanir you know... I feel ashamed that escaped my mind. You're absolutely right.

Gods I miss the old book jobs. Scholar and Summoner both used to be so much more involved.

would rather eat crayons tbh. Only thing about old smn I remember is fighting the pet ai and I DO NOT miss that. I still wish I could eat more than crayons tho

I once had a WHM passive aggressively decide not to raise me in a WoD raid because as a red mage I was 'being selfish' for not helping with raises. Me and a few others in chat tried to explain that I literally COULDN'T raise people due to level sync, but they just didn't respond and I would literally get zero heals from them. Poor Sage had to keep me alive all by their lonesome lol

@@BrightNeonBrilliancy sounds like a WoW player

​@@arcticjedimasterHow much you wanna bet this happened on Crystal, too

@@BrightNeonBrilliancyOne person refused to rez me becuase "I should be thinking about what I did". I literally didn't do anything that was actively hurting the party besides not watching my health and dying, but oh right, I shouldn't expect someone to be cooperative in a co-op scenario.

And let's not even get into the subject of Dragoon's "defensive" cooldown

​@@foulbeast3904 haha... defensive where? You mean my Elusive Jump? Yeah, it's my defensive cooldown. I must tank the floor for my party, you know, so that they don't die.

Wait wut Oh. No

I mean, that is the case with Carbuncle and the Primals, but Bahamut and Phoenix still fight alongside you provided you are actually fighting and not just staring, but yes I agree, in fact I would have liked it more if they kept walking the road to Arthritis and gave us more to do with our summons than just a single big hit followed by buffed Ruins and Outbursts.

pet ai was janky af and had to go

@@viysnjor4811 I kind of agree, I think fully autonomous pet ai is not a good idea, especially if they're the most important thing about the class. However if their actions are in the player's hands then it can be done well. Basically think of the Puppet character archetype in fighting games.

@@BonkHazard Them being autonomous or not wasn't the issue, it was the fact that the server ticks mean you get double delay when telling your pet to do something, its positioning is important or it will just refuse to do the thing you told it to, you'll press a button to tell it to attack but it was out of range so nothing happens.. if you played smn a lot before Endwalker you should understand what I'm talking about, it didn't flow at all

@@viysnjor4811 Ah, fair enough.

when the party members blame me because I prefer to heal and does not participate in the fight 😢

I was beginning to forget about it goddamnit it. Why do you refresh this pain.

Pain

Is not my main but I enjoy the job more now because of that skill being gone...yeah the animation was cool but I never cared for it. Bard had a cool jump flip animation at 50 and was taken away too. Lol so it be ok.

@@linkpwnsevery1 It's not about the animation, though that was a harsh loss. The job was very, very carefully designed with kaiten in mind, with it being perhaps the single most integral skill to the job's flow, and lazily removing the skill without trying to fill that void turned SAM from a deep and rewarding job into a pathetic shadow of itself. I'd go so far as to say that Kaitenless SAM is not SAM at all, that they removed the job in its entirety with such an idiotic change.

@@gackybass Ah yes, pressing one button before iaijutsu is the peak of DEEPNESS, especially when you get forcefed so much kenki that it's never an issue. Give me a break. Higanbana upkeep is more complicated than this shit, a fucking overreaction of a century. I bet you think DRG's having to delay their nastronds was the epitome of FUN too.

Just the party? Its always happening in alliance raids when I see a RDM in any squad

imo flamethrower would be pretty cool if THE TANK STOPPED MOVING THE MOB PACK SO THAT MY FLAMETHROWER CAN ACTUALLY HIT THEM. I can't count how many times it looks like they've stopped for a pull but then noooope and my flamethrower is wasted lool

Yeah WAR is humerus but I do wish we were able to look more at how cool Warriors and their abilities are as well as how it relates to the WOL. To be fair the DRK Questline has ruined me for any other job questline though…

Meanwhile PLD went back to being a gladiator and had a tournament arc in the arena, was a weird one but not wholey unwelcome.

As a warrior main, all the qu'est line after level 50 are trash Wasted potential for the same joke two time in a row

The Stormblood story line WAS something silly.

@@MyVanir I'm guessing he meant the MSQ

Suffering from success

Been tanking E12S with a friend. I was MT and he was OT. And I swear to god he forgot to turn his stance on...every...single...time...And nuked the same DPS with the buster. lmao. I was giving him callouts after the third time. Poor samurai...

'Gets a god PLD main tank who covers to save me repeatedly from tank busters when the OT refuses to use stance or is always dead' I AM SAVED! YOU SIR DESERVE PRAISE!

@@Probably_Gonna_Die That's why you shirk them every time to keep them 2nd in aggro hehe

I stopped doing savage because the OT in my group could not do this

I mean we had Bane back then, but now Pain

NINs overwriting each other's Mugs in Alliance Raids is always funny.

@@MBOmnis Oh god, don't even remind me of the multiple aneurysms I had to go through when that happened.

I literally became broke when I was doing that quest

@@pat1509 When you decide to be an omnicrafter to be self-sufficent but end up going broke in the process of becoming self-sufficent

I was the masochist that did all those while still in f2p. No buying anything off the market board for me.

Its baffling how they made AST button bloat worse for literally no reason

@@gackybass There is a reason. Make SGE look more appealing.

And if I’m in Sam, don’t even ask my to LB3 I delegate it to bottom melee dps😒

Craft insanely complex expensive music box. Now do it twice. You will suffer for your story progress.

@@cattysplat Now have your brain betray you later when furnishing your house and go "We need a music box here, hey we can craft those!"

I levelled up all the DoH/DoL jobs via Grand Company missions before I did the quests tbh. I did the quests while waiting for DPS Roulette to pop

@@rebellyanmagic6409 yeah the GC mission is a god sent. exp for DAYS

I think he's talking about the ARR alchemist questline because the 1.0 questline was just about making a medicine to get a boy out of a sleep inducing sickness. The ARR one had a little more dynamic going on. The alchemist guild master is trying bring back the woman he loved who died during the seventh umbral calamity. He lives with the regret that the time they spent together was mostly just him going on and on about his work and research while she would quietly sit there, smile, and listen. The scenes generally are him acting like a mad scientist going back and forth between running the guild and trying to find a way to bring his love back against the wishes her sister who just wants him to move on. In the last scene he succeeds in briefly returning her soul to her body and is able to apologize that he wasted his time with her blathering on and on about his work instead of doing the things he believed would have made her happy. She corrects him by saying that it was his passion for his work that she loved most about him before dissipating into aether.

@@vibber34 I thought this was about the SB part of the ALC questline where you basically just had closure to some of the 1.0 side characters?

​@@artcellrox Oof you're probably right. Every ALC questline is people generally having a bad time.

For the rest of you, in 1.0 Niellefresne, who's was F'lhaminn's lover and one of the 1.0 gang, gets stabbed to death by a cloaked man. Because of a cursed blade he was was in possession of at the time, his body doesn't deteriorate meaning his spirit can't return to the aetheric sea. The 1.0 narrative more or less ends there until the same cursed blade is the weapon being used for a murder in Ul'dah during the stormblood era(ALC questline). You and some of the old 1.0 characters get together to the bottom of this. In the end you find the killer, who is unrelated to the man who killed Nielle, and find an alchemical means of breaking the curse allowing the recent victim's and Nielle's aether to return to the aetheric sea. As Nielle's aether dissipates from his body the 1.0 gang get closure and a few final words knowing that their friend's soul can finally rest in peace. As the scene unfolds the camera pans out to show Nielle's younger brother Colbernoux who is silently observing his brother's soul being laid to rest from afar. Personally I thought Nielle and some of the 1.0 boys were kinda assholes since they did that whole killing Minfilia's dad thing indirectly and then Nielle pretty much tells Minfilia he doesn't really give a shit about her dad being dead. But I guess its mostly about cat mom getting closure to her boyfriend's death.

The level being wrong is even better, because NO ONE knows when you get it. I had someone ask me to ress in Sephirot roulette the other night, and 3 people said i didnt get it til [insert level] and they all said different levels

Half the raid faceplanting in Dun Scaith whilst you can only watch in pain.

Meanwhile the SMN is just standing there unwilling to sacrifice personal uptime. (assuming they even remember they have raise, half the time they don't even have it hotbared)

Get ready for another rework in 7.0

@@dafire9634 No doubt about it.

I just run Max because POTD gave me a metric ton of them and after lvl 60 potions kinda wont save you as a tank if your healer sucks

personally I prefer X-potions because 48s for cooldown compared to 1m15s is a bit better

Mudra Rabbit was NIN slander

NINs in the gutter now 😭 We still main it tho 😭

As an old monk main I feel ya mate. The lack of Greased Lightning and everything else is so painful

I honestly still do every old positional. It's ingrained in my muscle memory

@@FeralShadow same, it's instinctual at this point

What happened to monk?

@@dailybugle2147 no more positional dancing, I still do it out of habit, but its kinda pointless to do so since the only positions now are on the DoT and True Strike

@@reset6292 I hate it so much, dancing around the enemy like a crackhead was what made monk fun

@@dailybugle2147 In short: It is still a technical class but now he only has 2 positional abilities. Additionally, you have to use dragon kick as much as possible now.

OOOOOOOOOUGGGGGGGHHH

Lb doesn't break combo anymore :p. But it's more about LB downtime completely unsyncing the burst rotation for slow SAM.

@@penrilfake thats what i meant. Having to break the flow of your rotation to use this filthy lb3 XD
