Zepla reacts to A Crap Guide to Final Fantasy XIV - Magic DPS by JoCat 

Garfield was a side character originally, it's a thing that the audience sorta owns your work after you make it. Kinda weird I guess

he's allowed to do whatever he wants. complaining about having an instantly viral series because you dont feel like making it is like complaining you have a 1,000 dollar paycheck that you need to clock in and work to earn. he's free to sit around not making what the audience wants, but not if he wants the paycheck. pretty entitled imo to be pissed that people only watch what they find entertaining instead of religiously watching everything of his just because he wants them to.

@@DarthZ01 Right, he should just be a reaction andy like all the other youtubers.

@@DarthZ01 he's said on stream multiple times that he DOESNT want people to watch everything he makes just because he's the one who makes it. I think here he was just sharing the separate unrelated issue that despite getting millions of views, his crap guides make very little money. $600 for 1 million views is not very much.

​@@DarthZ01I mean I watched the panel he did on this and that is a partial take away. What I think should have been taken away is his initial failure. If you get hot because of something like the crap guides and your follow up is a 45 minute op piece in your normal talking voice about a midstream game.... you areasking a LOT of the audience to give that the time of day.

so obviously he will have to make a full version now

What song is that ???

@@wowplayer00 The original song is to the tune of "Mexican Hat Dance". The way he's using it is more like from "Animaniacs - Yakko's World"

Everyone’s favorite “HELLLLLLLOOOO NURRRRRSE”

"No, no, finger prints" "I don't think so."

I'm sorry but you needed answer that phrased as a question.

its ping dependent. Close enough to the end of the cast bar, by the time the server sees you moving the spell animation is complete and wont interrupt you. At very high ping, read: you live in California, slide casting is MUCH harder. At bad ping you can slide cast with nearly a third of the bar left

I've become so used to slide-casting since I'm a BLM main that I do it even when I don't want to; I've accidentally slide-casted my teleport skill on many occasions.

I've always just relied on having an emote (for me its dance) on my screen next to my cast bar and when it lights up I can start moving, seems to always work though haven't checked if its the earliest yet.

@@Nazuiko So THAT'S why it was so hard to learn

@@Taygon45if you set an emote on your hot bar, the moment the emote is usable is when you can start to move

or someone just died and it's a shonen mc about to unleash 110% of his power in revenge.

Correction: if you see a cartoon character, there is a 95% chance it has pornography

@@DarthZ01exactly, that’s the other 5%

And us states and there capitals

Same :)

How very zany and totally insaney.

It is based on a Mexican song.

Reminds me of the time I queued as RDM and my friend as a healer for a trials roulette in Stormblood and got Lakshmi, my mana bar was non-existent from rez and he used healer lb3 about 3 times, but we got the clear first pull dangit.

@@allochervenkall9819 I love JoCat's magic dps video because he calls that out for RDM... Lucid needs to be looked at for cool down and potency lol

I had the same thought when he said "Suck it, Black Mage!"

Yeah!

Any job you level as your first job is pretty painless since you have the MSQ. When people talk about how hard a job is to level, they generally talk about levelling alternate jobs without MSQ quest XP :)

@@cadinsordacovale Iv'e been splitting the MSQ between both Dragoon and Black Mage each are level 65-69 and I just finished HW and now am at post content.

the cool thing about summoner when leveling is the rotation basically stays the same, you just add new spells into the spots where you had nothing before, and the existing spells become flashier versions. you go from "use fire summon, do 1-2-3, use wind summon, do 1-2-3, use earth summon, do 1-2-3, wait until fire summon is off cooldown." to "use fire summon, do 1-2-3, use wind summon, do 1-2-3, use earth summon, do 1-2-3, use big dragon, fire summon is off cooldown by the time big dragon ends." to the same thing, except big dragon turns into phoenix every other usage. changes nothing about the rotation but the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc rotations have different spells literally just in the exact same spot.

@@DarthZ01 It would be really cool to play an instrument as a bard.....to bad I have 0 understanding of how to read notes or put together sheet music lol.

BLU is great for a lot more than just Aurum Vale. I participated in and distinctly remember that one Tomestone event where Binding Coil Turn 2 rewarded 3 tomestones per run and took literally 30 sec per run with a group of 8 BLUs. I also participated in a more recent one where Battle On The Big Bridge awarded tomestones, and farming Greg was similarly fast and fun with 8 BLUs. (tho it was 2 tomestones every 90 sec or so)

@@LadyTsunade777 i remember the one with the 8 blu mage with binding coil 2, at the time i didn't have blu and just ran prae many many times

same... even older though when people didnt realize spooky slice was a parody of monster mash... and that song was already old when i was a kid.

@@DarthZ01 yeah that one made me feel old too

They have no intentions of doing that. In fact, that might've held water at it's release with how weak all it's spells were save for a select few... Then Square decided to fuck it and add completely busted spells from 60 onwards. Ultravibe, deep freeze, heals and shield that costs exactly 200 MP to use, and the countless primal spells that are steadily getting more and more powerful. They are beyond the point of bringing the job in line with the others, because the job trivializes almost everything. The only thing it cannot trivialize are the infinite damage mechanics that demand Tank LBs, or the fact that despite having tankier spells they are still as solid as a wet paper tissue. Like JoCat said, if it was made a normal job, the balance team would be on suicide watch. Just enjoy that class for what it is. I'm 4/6 of the way done to get my own Morbol Mount, which consists of an all blue mage party clearing T5, 9, 13, A4S, A8S, and A12S. Not to mention its the best job to farm old content with. Got maps leftover from shadowbringers or need to make your coin purse heavier? Blue Mage and old treasure maps. We're still holding out in more content but Square keeps insisting us being around relic stuff would be a disaster, or that blue mage in deep dungeons is a terrible idea. Meanwhile the main selling point of the job, Masked Carnival, was so negatively received that they are only giving us 1 new mission per blue expansion.

@@kyotanaka920 personally I think instead of thinking about getting BLU in line with the rest, we should get a new limited job. maybe a physical ranged beastmaster that capture mobs and use them like pokemon. since pets is absolutely awful and completely impractical for normal game, then make a limited job around them as a way to play with the idea.

​@danilooliveira6580 "you see that squirrel over there? I'm gonna throw Shinryu at it!"

They're considered a "Limited job" meaning their kit is not balanced around the rest of the game on purpose. As a consequence of this their level cap is also always 10-20 levels below the current level cap (depending on what part of the expansion you're in) to keep them from blowing through current content. Because they're not balanced around the rest of the game, you also can't queue up for content like you can on any other job and instead can only go into some content and only as a pre-made group or solo, that way it doesn't ruin the experience for non Blue Mages. TL/DR: think of Blue Mage less like a class and more like optional side content. Fun if you're into it, but intentionally kept apart from the rest of the game.

Blue has 2 skills made for clearing trash packs. Ram's Voice freeze mobs around you and Ultravibration is an aoe that insta kills frozen mobs. This won't work on bosses but Blue has some skills to cheese bosses too. Missile has a low chance of taking 50% of early bosses HP and Final Sting trades your life for a big chunky of damage.

@@elusivejumper tx! 🤗

blu mage is the closest thing to playing as a raid boss. you have no balance compared to everything else, and your abilities are literally from the monsters/npcs. hence it can solo pretty much anything but current content with ease, however is isnt allowed in level sync'd (pretty much time walking) or current content group finders.

And to have Red Mages use Magic Barrier during raid-wide attacks, makes the healer's job that little bit easier too.

i dont play this game but if i did i think red mage sounds the most interesting

No.

What? Did someone died?
