Oh man! HW was fantastic! Game only gets better and better. The newest dungeon in SB is a ton of fun. I didnt love the storyline compared to HW, but your new friends across Doma in general have been pretty well done.

I'm looking forward to shadow bringers.

What classes are your least favorite?

I hate using Black and White Mage. They're just so boring.

I love Summoner and Scholar,Ninja, Warrior and Dark Knight.
Bard's Fun too. Same to Samurai.

I don't particularly hate Red Mage, but I feel kinda odd about them. It just feels like. "Build your EX meter and then do the full combo, rinse and repeat."

Crell In reply to ChristopherShuzen [2019-01-19 18:56:46 +0000 UTC]

Oh on the big hate list probably WHM. It's slow, boring. Doesnt do anything. Healing is a pain on it.

Aside from that you womt see me often on like BRD/MCH/SAM/or DRG but it's all 380+ and I know how to play it to above average level. I just cant do it justice.

I main BLM lol. I raid as a BLM. And it is the best friggin job ever l. It does soooooooo much dmg, doesnt have any mobility issues at all. My side job and so omdary is sch. Go to tanks are DRK and PLD.

RDM is pretty dull but its good for a pinch.

You're playing BLM wrong if it's boring lol. I teach BLM all the time because 75% of DF doesnt play it properly lmao xD

ChristopherShuzen In reply to Crell [2019-01-20 01:47:31 +0000 UTC]

DF?

If I were on the game, I could tell you what I'd normally do, due to "Oh wow, whady'a know? The list is right there."

If I recall, Start with Fire, then use Ice when you need Mana, but before even that... Apply Dots. Just all of them that you can stack. Then into Fire, if a Fire Starter Proc Happens, use stance swap when MP is low, rinse and repeat.

Oh, and Leylines.

Never use the ice thing you aim... kinda crap, and rarely are you ever going to need

blizzard 2 around you.



I dunno, just because I can do big numbers does not mean I am having fun as them.

šŸ‘: 0 ā©: 1

Crell In reply to ChristopherShuzen [2019-01-20 03:22:37 +0000 UTC]

Lol. that isnt even what you do.Ā  At least, not in sequence.


Blizzard 3---leylines---Eno---Thunder 3------swiftcast blizzard 4----sharpcast----fire 3----fire 4 4 4 1 4 4 (proc'd 3)---convert--- 4 4--blizzard 3---foul---blizzard 4


a couple things change based on if you want leylines right at the gate or not. The procs take priority when they crit to maintain thunder 3 and not ever (try and limit) hardcasting it again, which is sometimes unavoidable of course. Triplecast usually is the first thing used after a sharp cast to roll out the triple fires 4'. Most of the time in raid i use it for mobility instead. But otherwise its generally used for the quad flare+foul.Ā  You never use blizzard 4 if you dont need it for the extra flares (trait) or you cant get the full use out of the cost reduction from the trait since at that point the extra cost of time versus the gain isnt worth it.


But BLM beauty comes that while its formula can vary, the biggest part of BLM is sustaining it, knowing the fight, minimizing the movement. Thats the real DPS gain out of it. As such, the actual opener in some ways doesnt really matter. You just dont wanna be in Umbral stance and be in it for as little as possible.


BLM is just so much fun because it feels fluid compared to other jobs. i get satisfaction out of it, i dunno.

ChristopherShuzen In reply to Crell [2019-01-20 09:13:46 +0000 UTC]

Honestly, summoner is just more fun to me, on top of that, it's funny just being that guy who is like.
"Oh, you fucked up." Emergency Resurrection.

They were always more consistently fun, have more mobility if I need to move. And I can just have fun with it.

To me, it does not matter how much DPS like BLM... Point is -- they're not fun to me.

If you enjoy them, I'm not shaming. I just feasibly cannot see myself playing them.

Crell In reply to ChristopherShuzen [2019-01-20 11:12:48 +0000 UTC]

Of course all jobs have their ups and downs. People play whatever clicks with em. Nothing worse than a person not passionate about the job they are on. And being mediocre at it. But theres pros and cons to all jobs. No single job is superior to the other. Certain ones are pure selfish dps(sam, blm) providing 0 utility. While jobs like (sumnr, drg, brd/mch) provide lots of utility and have class synergy.


I hope 5.0 fixes the elitist "meta" :/

Crell In reply to ChristopherShuzen [2019-01-20 13:24:23 +0000 UTC]

Mmmm I dont think so. When the Ultimate races were going on, many groups scorned DRK. But the world first team had a DRK. It debunked any meta mentality. Although you'll still see most comps running the WAR/PLD because of invulnerability cheese/shake it off+additional defense utility and overall more cooldown usage.

People generally play DRK far more poorly because of its design. It's not quite easy as PLD by pressing buttons when you need them, or winding up to a set rotation timing to have inner beast/release ect ready.

ChristopherShuzen In reply to Crell [2019-01-20 23:47:55 +0000 UTC]

If you were in the Discord I am in, you'd hear more what I mean.

Like anytime I bring up DRK in any positive light, I get a weird look, despite doing good and learning them very quickly. Honestly, I like the DRK class more in terms of Aesthetic, just a Magic Tank really.

The animations look really nice to me too...

There is like... Two Jobs I'm considering getting into when I return to Eorzea... That would be Dragoon -- I never really touched them.
And Possibly leveling Paladin up just to have my tanks in roughly the same place. I give Paladin a lot of shit before of how awkward their early levels are and it just wasn't a "fun" tank for me. Yeah, "Fun" is subjective from person to person.

There is Two Jobs I'm a bit skeptical of playing, and that is Monk and Machinist.
The Scrutiny I hear about Machinist isn't that it has no utility or is absolutely useless, but getting it's EX skills in the heat gauge has little return for it, so it just isn't as good as it could be.

And Monk is just... a shit ton of positionals and rotations at such a rapid pace where it can be annoying to get into. But honestly, it's Monk I'm the most... weary of. And it really just boils down to single target for most of it, the positionals and blah. It's them I'm worried I will not like.

Crell In reply to ChristopherShuzen [2019-01-21 00:19:46 +0000 UTC]

Monk and dragoon have the most positional. Dragoon you have a lot more weaving than monk. And your rear and side will change depending on what part of the rotation you are on. Like full thrust combo I believe goes t glank. While the chaos combos into rear. And your heavy thrust always hits from the side every fourth cycle I believe. Then you add in buffs, utility, yadda yadda. It's just as busy as bard.

MCH is complicated becaus eyour windows rely on the wildfire. You need to press like 82 buttons in 10 seconds. Little rally everything you have while setting up your overheat, which kicks you out of your gauge pretty much 10 to 20 seconds into the fight after flamethrower after 4 ticks, puts you on the clock.

Monk is really easy. You alternate from rear and flank rotation, weaving in your off gcds and burst when perfect balance is up, and if it lines up with the fire boost ability and internal release, then you just dunk everything right there with brotherhood and pre full chakras.

PLD doesnt have any awkward leveling. They have the shield oath stance early now so if you have problems with it, that's a player problem.its not a strong tank in comparison to the others but it's very beginner player, and plays exactly like DRK minus the dark arts every friggin button press lol.

ChristopherShuzen In reply to Crell [2019-01-21 08:34:18 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... I don't see how PLD and DRK are the same.

I played DRK a lot since I got them, they have AoE damage, where for a while, PLD only has flash. Their Projectile has one of the highest aggro drawing skills in the game.
This isn't me underminding PLD, but I will say that saying they play exactly the same is false.

DRK also does not have a shield bash as a skill (Yeah, they have low blow, but the fact is, it isn't part of the kit, it is just a role action.)
DRK also learns their AoE stuff much earlier, and it does damage where while Flash isn't useless-- it has a deceptively smaller radius.

While I see where you are coming from, I have to disagree with the way you phrased it.

And Yeah, Dark Arts between moves is fine, I agree with that bit. But it never bugged me.

By comparison, I would say PLD has more defense tools by nature, and pacifying effects.
Where DRK is just mostly damage and Agro.

In fact, I would say DRK is closer to WAR.

They have a lot of AoE by nature, especially early on, damaging AoE no less.(A lot of it.)
They do a lot of damage, have high HP, and are just more aggressive in nature.

This isn't shitting on PLD, just they have more defense tools to make up for their lack of explosive damage, which I think is a totally fair trade. Hell, they can heal others at level 60, and they learn a party defense based tool too. Now, correct me if I am wrong. But the other tanks do not have that type of thing.

WAR has their "GET OVER HERE!" thing, and while it can pull others opponents to them, it does not protect the entire party in MOST situations. (Does not help it locks them into place.)

DRK just has AoE. (yeah, they have physical, but I mean that is their biggest thing with skills. They just have a shit ton of it, and boost effects with Dark Arts.) They just don't have party defense. Just a lot of agro management tools.



Frankly, I can see why raids would prefer the WAR and PLD comp, WAR Does so much damage.
PLD mostly blocks *everything*, can heal others and manage their mana easily.
DRK can just oulast everything with a few of the skills he has, which isn't the same as team utility.

I dunno, I just don't see the similarities the way you compared them. Granted, I'm tired so I could be missing details.

Crell In reply to ChristopherShuzen [2019-01-21 08:45:29 +0000 UTC]

Oh well, i mean, DRK plays like a PLD


Flash---->Unleash

All tanks--Same pull

All tanks--->Share same role skills


I was mainly looking at the style without pointing out the obvious.

i play all tanks so Im well aware of their identities and distinctions. WAR just has better utility but no tanks beats the abuse that is the blackest night. Its so disgusting and is constantly up to spam on your or an ally all the time if youre able to. All the tanks have solid aoe and threat holding. Weaving.


I miss the days of flash on WAR. Only thing i dislike about it these days is the lack of flash.
