State of the Realm 366 - Benchmark & Phys Ranged Speculation w/ Serenaya 

Right? I’ve never played an mmo with under 170ms, and while it’s not “optimal” for some things, it’s perfectly playable

I play on 80ish ping just fine the fuck lol. I do ults too so it's not like I'm a casual here either.

@@silvertayuun Same. I play on a constant 170++.

Until Japan community complains everybody else will need third party to play the game

I regularly play at 90 ping and it's mostly fine, I just can't play faster GCD jobs. As much as I would like to learn Sage better, my ping doesn't support Eukrasia stance, so SCH stays the main. Though those cloud server tests brought me down to 30 ping and it was an eye-opening experience.

Enkidle II ?

@@adelxiii6327 It's what turns your egis into primals.

All 4 healers missing from this list. (Arguable for SGE and AST, but they are damage neutral)

@@bwpbwp9613 I should've said, "big 1-2 minute button" instead of "bursty thing", cuz that's more what I meant. Although under those guidelines, I guess I could also add RPR's gluttony and RDM's resolution (maybe? Idk how long those take to build), but that doesn't feel right either. Basically I was looking for capstone skills that feel like buttons you press fairly frequently, which is the impression I got that he meant when they were talking about them.

This is true, it is 100% overreaction over a build that isn't final and is old. People can't just speak these days. Gotta bitch and moan and whine instead of going "Hey, did you guys miss this?"

Yeah, he followed up the falling asleep comment with the example of boss hit boxes taking up over half the arena, so that seems like a good indication of the areas they were referencing.

Whole combat need a revamp. I been falling asleep in dungeons. Combat has no impact. I’m not asking for Bdo like combat but give us something 😅

I'm worried that it's just gonna be skill upgrades that only buff potencies without any other meaningful change.

@@christianflex4alldungeons have always been like that, haven’t they?

@@shawnscouten5184 yea I complain about it every year lol

He’s insufferable. Is this all his content normally is?

@@SquashDog01 Yes, except louder/whinier when not having to put on a face for a podcast.

Well his video on the amount of savage clears with every datacenter was brilliant, raiding on chaos is dead and everyone is on light

@@soldierorsomething every region has one raiding datacenter. we have travel now so it doesnt matter

Same but... all of healers.

Same but... Dark Knight...

@@FhtagnCthulhuThey literally removed the healer tester because he got too skilled at his job a while ago. And by too skilled they meant he did an extreme trial.

Bard is fun, its just that the dot dealing only 3400dmg with a crit is kinda disappointing 😢

I couldn't agree more! Well said. DNC feels really great to me as well and never stale with how versatile it is.

Yep, I feel the same way

It is still missing a few things however it was 1005 better than CC.. People constantly complained and when you go and look? You're like.. "Why are you looking at CC??" Hell I noticed the CC was outdated when I looked at my character base and it still had the old Limbals. I just said "OH, it's not updated in the CC" In the trailer? Fucking BEAUTIFUL.

I tried doing the same because, let's be real, CC has alllllways had scuffed lighting.

DRG fels great ar max level terrible elsewhere lol. It's si awkward below 70.

@@mrdarkstar3756 Yeah, around level 70 it goes from feeling incomplete to pretty complex very quickly

@@Jade-nn3bn big agree on aoe as well tge 3rd hit can wait to 72 sure, but the 2nd hitrwith the damage up buff needs to be 40 and doom spike at level 20.

I have tried Skill speed, Bard,RPR,Monk and DRK, they are damn fun to play with when all skills respond so fast to your actions during buff windows but still you will always lose to someone that is using a crit build :S Max skill speed monk is crazy since their traits stack with speed, but you get to hit your normal attacks more often, just forget about doing positionals since your next attack will be ready to go even before you have time to adjust to the side/rear

They might be a bit better in dawntrail, assuming they follow through on the promise of making boss hitboxes smaller, especially now that boss design is requiring more movement, they might be a help. I mean I guess there is still the elephant in the room of summoner being basically a physical ranged at this point, but yeah.

he uh.. if you go to his channel seems he abandoned FF and tried to capitalise on crypto craze a while back. man had lost his marbles.

@@GoldenXShark22 Weirdly enough, around when Endwalker came out, he didn't make his own content, but he was a guest on some random small youtuber's videos, and he just seemed mad the whole time.

You must play an elezen then 😂

Yeah, I’d almost ask the guy if he even likes the game haha

He sounds like he has no energy and rather be anywhere else.

I agree wholeheartedly! DNC is really fun with how versatile it is. It keeps me engaged.

The dancer RNG for extra dps is the problem especially in ultimates

Dancer really is the pinnacle of casual content job VS hardcore prog content job. In more casual play, and for more casual players, the randomness is fun and the variance in damage with missing crits and/or "bad" dance partners is fine. It's a treat to see the Big Numbers but it's not going to ruin your experience if it' doesn't work out. In hardcore play, the randomness is (understandably) infuriating and missing those crits or having a "bad" dance partner means you don't make the enrage timer. As a more casual content enjoyer who considers DNC my secondary job, I really enjoy it and don't want it to change much.. and it would suck if it were changed to be so lock step to the 2 minute set in stone rotation as other jobs. That's why I got bored of MCH after playing it after only a couple of weeks. I loved it at first but then got so bored with it being so 100% locked in.

I can see why someone why likes MCH would hate DNC...but I think that's a good thing. Let us have some variety. I personally get super bored with MCH.

@@Strider_Shinryu I just feel that if an encounter can’t be beat without good crit luck, then they tuned the encounter wrong.

How would toning down the rng be gutting the job lmao

That has NOTHING to do with it. RNG IN GENERAL is what also demoralizes people in those same settings. it's sometimes the difference between someone REALLY getting into Raiding vs not. There's nothing more demoralizing than going in, thinking you would do okay or worried about dragging others down and EVEN if they are kind and don't mind it and support ya? You still feel like shit.. OR you don't clear because your 1 overly strong GCD didn't Direct Hit Crit and either did neither, or only one. That is bad. That doesn't even give the rush of hitting big numbers because you might see 50K for one but 26K for the other. It wouldn't gut a job to be less RNG focused. Besides, crit has been king for a long time. Direct hit is a stacking mini crit. It's literally doing too much for a CHANCE at hitting hard. You lose out on dopamine, you lose out on a progression feeling and you lose out on Build diversity. If Some classes got to keep rng in them in exchange for other dps increases? it wouldn't hurt any classes. lmfao. This is what the 5% care about. Edit: was still typing and accidentally sent this.. HOWEVER to continue.. RNG in class design also destroys some of the fun depending on class. It has to be done WELL. DNC and RDM HATE their rng. Feathers, and Verstone and Verfire are the most frustrating ones to not get without the changes made to the class and they still are annoying.. Not having agency in your job doesn't feel good and that's why Monk is so liked. Nadi issues? You barely ever run into it. Like.. You can even change it on the fly. It's so dumb at how good it feels because you can just.. Do it. You don't need a specific proc. it's not just top 5% and it's not gonna GUT a class. DNC getting a feather if they get 2 of they follow ups going? Fine. But having it be.. RNG.. For an RNG... For an RNG.. that can RNG.. That's NOT fun. This is where every other player ends up looking when it comes to RNG. Imagine, not getting your best move's because you didn't get lucky.

Jobs would be wild-interesting if there wasn't a high-end raiding scene. Course we wouldn't get these kinds of podcasts / discussion, so bit of a trade-off.

@@Frostbyte115 Nah man, playing dancer in hunt trains, I don't get frustrated if don't get procs or no feathers show up. Just means I hit a different button, no big. No one's keeping score anyway.

@@reshypoo9447 So what you are saying is, that if it was changed, it would not matter to you. So that makes it a net positive for everyone, even if catered to the top players.

That would be both interesting and a nightmare of toxicity in higher end content

I can hear the healers crying already (hi it's me, a healer, crying)

​​@@holo_valhaha, instead of healing that backline BLM, you now have a bard there too 😂

So basically a bard that plays like an actual support class? I’m right there with you….

I’m proud of you

Thanks, dad. ​@@DukeofSpook.

Yeah, we are out here on Limsa with our phones
