Tam-Tara (Hard) with no wipes! A GREAT day in Mentor Roulette! 

The dragoon also just going "ouch" also added to it in the moment! 😂

Hopefully one day he will grow big and strong! 😁

I'm glad to hear that! 🤣

Yeah I only really noticed because I looked for what on earth was hurting the group so much! 😅

"it's cheaper to raise you from the dead once the virus has taken its course. Trust me" 😂

@@CaetsuChaijiCh Now that's a sci-fi dystopia if I've ever heard of one.

It is difficult to figure out. I am trying different things to see if I can find a pattern, but each time is different. I also vary what I play to give variety both in what you see, but also what I see! 😁

My theory on why healers get more dungeons during mentor to roulette is that there are less low level healers than the other classes. Unless people are going through their roulettes or are specifically queueing for content you only have Whm as a healer for level 15-30 content. Once you get to 30 you also have Sch, and while you technically have Ast as well you don't get access to it until after level 50, so it harder to find healers for low level content. Out of 62 dungeon runs I got as healer recently, 31 of them were in ARR. There is also the fact until level 70 you only have 3 healers while tanks get their 4th at 60 and so you probably have a surplus of tanks doing dungeons Also another reason right now is people are probably rushing to level other jobs for Dawntrail. And so same as before, healers are in short supply.

@@ZanrosHoreak Imo, it could be the fact that there are way more dungeons than anything else in the game and Healers are needed in every que. So instead of looking for a Trial/Raid that needs 2 Healers at the same time, the Game will just put you in a Dungeon run to get it going.

It's even weirder when it also turns out sephirot from heavensward has it! 😅

@@CaetsuChaijiCh The Game doesnt indicate many things consistently, which is annoying if you havent played that one particular dungeon in ages (ShB and EW are pretty consistent in their way) I just hope they will overhaul the Novice hall to show People what a Stackmarker/Tankbuster/Cleavemarker looks like, because ive seen so much.. just say "idiot moves" lately.

High jump kick, but also the hustle ability to further reduce hit chance! 😂

Also Black Mage should have something like Darmanitan's Zen Mode, Fire/Electric normally but then when conditions are right, Ice/Electric

@HakureiIllusion that is an interesting idea! I was thinking of maybe having ice magic as a way to set up, but it felt a bit too involved for such an offhanded idea! 😅

That is a pretty funny situation to end up in! 😅 And yeah I do agree on the arf thing, it is weirdly fast compared to other duties before it! And you are right, this could realistically be the dancers first go at the job i suppose! It is still a bit weird! 😊

Yeah the classic disaster of chains is both people being too far due to other mechanics, or even starting running too soon and then being unable to break them! It is a bit surprising it would be the problem mechanic, but I can definitely believe it! 😅

It is certainly not a very obvious stack marker! 😅

Yeah. Community usually calls these enums (enumerations) since it needs a specific amount of people to solve, not too many

Yeah that's always fun! 😂

That is an interesting idea, but if you wait for them to cast before you stop them, then they will get a cast off. So it feels a bit problematic to approach it like that! Still, that is an interesting gimmick I didn't notice 😁

I've seen this sometimes too, where I'm actively trying to work with them only for it to fall apart 😅

Oh yeah that is true. Indeed, still weird!

That is a quite strange scenario! 😅

Thank you! 😁 I'm glad to hear that! 🤣

Bruh, the stun lock combo 😂 the boss had been practicing!

5:02 I always reflexively cringe when I get new ARF in level cap roulette because the new mechanics trip up new and old players equally. It's less bad when you're the healer and can carry, but it's still rough.

12:15 I think you're gonna need to do a whole "What if the FF14 jobs were pokemon" video lmfao

13:35 it IS a little bit painful when the team actively encourages people to do side content they have neglected to update and people are confused by the janky lack of consistency with the MSQ updates. The more they leave side content unattended, the worse this is gonna get. It's fine doing it with a party of people who are enthusiastic to do the side content, but people who just want to farm it without putting any thought into it... it's pain.

It is quite strange how, over the years the game has gotten more consistent with indicators, which makes older content harder simply because it doesn't hold up to the same standard 😅

The weirdest thing is that if anyone else tries to pair with the person, then the right move for you is to run away! If you can't get it exactly right, then letting one person get stomped is safer than letting everyone get stomped! 😅

Thanks

This is the kind of players that worry me the most... They know what you're supposed to do, but don't even consider what they are supposed to do to make that happen 😔

@@CaetsuChaijiCh on my server, there's a thing going around of falafels are also known as God mode in tank There's a lalafel fc, where if you use a fantasia to change races, your kicked from the fc People are weird

Not surprised, those little spuds hold nothing but evil behind their wide eyes and cheeky smirks.

In a way perhaps! The same mistakes get weirdly more grating the more times you see them in a short time frame I guess? 😂

I don't believe so! I just forgot that one existed so long before! Indeed, that just makes seiryu not having the correct marker weirder!

@CaetsuChaijiCh Maybe it was added for his "Unreal" fight? Either way, it's quite bizarre. Thank you for your time.

I actually thought the same initially, but specifically changed my mind to fire electric specifically because the same type attack bonus (STAB) would ensure the weaker ice magic would actually BE weaker ice magic! 😁

@@CaetsuChaijiCh Oh I see the vision now That makes a lot more sense

As long as the boss is targetable! 😁😄

Yes, the potencies are the same between ruin 1 and art of war, and scholars auto attacks are weirdly strong for a healer in the level range too, so making more space for that helps even more. This stops working once broil is learned 😊

Possibly! Healing up someone that just got raised, quickly, is often a good idea. Especially because a lot of players don't know that they are invulnerable for five seconds after being raised, so long as they don't do anything beyond moving 😅

I am glad you feel this way! I did not mean to overstate these things, but mainly commented on the subject from the perspective that a lot of players gave the impression it was super common! You are probably right that I dodge a lot of the toxicity! And yes, talesfromDF often seems so absurd that the stories almost sound made up a lot of the time! ^^' Thank you again for the kind words!

At level 46-53 ruin 1 has the same potency as art of war. And art of war having no cast time means you get more auto attack dps spamming art of war over using ruin 1. 😊

Good luck! I at least know the newer extremes are, the more likely people are to just nope out 😅 but it's worth a shot I suppose?

@@CaetsuChaijiCh it is going to be funny to see somebody just take the 30m penalty. I got void ark last night. Someone immediately quit, lol. Probably wanting crystal tower and don't know the alliance raid roulette can still be cheesed.

At level 50, ruin 1 is 150 potency. Art of war is also 150 potency at level 50. Casting spells delay your auto attack, which means art of war and auto attacking is more dps than ruin 1 and auto attacking. While it costs more mp, that is completely irrelevant 😊

@@CaetsuChaijiCh oh damn, never noticed that. is this a recent change or did i just go all my scholar maining arr life without noticing that?

@ellasbian has been true for at least ALL of endwalker! 😁 Don't worry though, this is only relevant in the level range of 46 to 53, as when broil is learned at 54, single targeting on single target is optimal once again! 😉

@@CaetsuChaijiCh i just looked it up and ruin 1 used to be 160 potency in shadowbringers. so i’m not a bad gamer, i’m just old.

I know right? 😂

What mechanic do you mean?

Oh, it was mentioned in the afterword. Isn't there one of those mechanics in, like, Sastasha hard? lol

@intensellylit4100 ARF used to have a mechanic where ascian prime would start casting universal manipulation, and you had these void zones you could step into. Thing is, you had to step into them, a few seconds would pass, then the game would have you get sucked in. When the spell resolved, if you were not yet inside, you would get every debuff under the sun, and possibly just die. If you were inside in time, it would simply pull you back into the fight. This mechanic was removed with the rework of the fight. Which I believe happened during endwalker. Meanwhile. Vanaspati, the level 85 dungeon, has a boss, the second one, with water bubbles you need to enter in the exact same way to avoid an otherwise unavoidable aoe. I suppose ascian prime lost the mechanic for other reasons, but it is weird the mechanic is so janky in vanaspati! 😅

@intensellylit4100 i think theres one in hull breaker isle hard? 😅🤔

Bork! 😁

❤️

Arf! 🦮

@@CaetsuChaijiCh Arf arf!

At level 50, ruin 1 is 150 potency. Art of war is also 150 potency at level 50. Casting spells delay your auto attack, which means art of war and auto attacking is more dps than ruin 1 and auto attacking. While it costs more mp, that is completely irrelevant 😊 You may also enjoy my level 30-50 Scholar guide which has "art of war is a gain on 1!" portrayed in the thumbnail! 😁😉

@@CaetsuChaijiCh "Strike ground with palm for easy damage." -Sun Tzu, Art of War

@@CaetsuChaijiCh Do you happen to have the dps logs in which it was recorded? You got me wondering and was wanting to compare notes.

@laceyclark311 no I don't have a dps meter. But you wouldn't need it to know, because the numbers check out. Go into any content that syncs you to level 50 and you can see the potencies of the attacks, and they mean exactly what they say 😉 Edit: or were you perhaps just curious how much more damage we are talking? 😊

@@CaetsuChaijiCh I was actually curious as to how much more actual damage it was. It just seems very much like an incredibly negligible damage boost. I've been told that it's better to single-target on bosses/2 mobs remaining, and SE seems to agree on that route based on potency increases over the expansions on certain skills; though they have been known to mislabel some potencies before. Then again my journey through FF14 I've gotten some extremely questionable/outdated advice from mentors, and some of it is straight up wrong. It's partially why I have my doubts about a gain on 1. Certain subreddits made posts about certain people aoe'ing on bosses in some roulettes, however it's been about whm ast and sage aoe'ing and being incorrect about it being stronger on single-target in level 50 duties. It's kind of why I wanted to look at the hard numbers to try to replicate it without forcing randoms into a duty. Trusts/npcs do not effectively replicate player tactics/dps as well as I would have hoped it would.
