World of Warcraft veteran here; played mid to late Shadowbringers into a little after 6.1 then went back to WoW but now focusing on FFXIV. Some of these terms I knew from WoW or learned as a sprout a year ago but some I never even heard if before. Thank you!
Love this!! If you’re making a series, how about various terms used for attack names? Towers, meteors, exoflares, limit cut, hot wings, etc … took me forever to learn some of these (and tbh I’m still not sure I know exoflare 🙃)
Yess! I'm actually working on this! These were in the original script but I cut them out because it made the video too long and getting footage for these mechs will take longer and I'd need more time, so it is coming! Just in a separate video
As a raider for 7 years, this guide is really good. Though some trivia is in order - the 2 minute window and the kitchen sink are terms that are fairly new relatively. I haven't heard them until Shadowbringers/Endwalker. Before in regards to 2 minutes, we simply referred to them as "buff windows" as before we had 90 second cooldowns, 60 seconds, 2 minutes and it's been a while but I believe there was some 3 minute cds. It wasn't until the raiding scene was simplified and buffs all now fall on the one minute marker with 2 minutes being the big buff window while 1 minutes being the personal buff window. Kitchen sink wasn't really a term as it wasn't necessary in any fights and if in case you did, you are probably going to need a swap because something went wrong. It's always good to keep your miti rolling because autos hurt like a truck and the busters even more so. Now sinking it isn't nearly an issue because of things like bloodwhetting, TBN, and the pld/gnb equivalents of them. Sophia Unreal was a good example of this because she would cast a buster like every 30-60 seconds which isn't that bad, but you have realistically only 3 cooldowns you use in conjunction with your short cd because the buster hurt like hell and yes, it was common to solo tank it as the vuln up from the buster isn't an insta die. *Back in my day our cooldowns had a 90 second cooldown minimum so if you fat fingered one, good luck.*
Just want to say I really love the aesthetic of the demonic horns on the Xaela that even I started using it on mine when I fantasia into a nhamma recently.
Kitchen Sinking refers to the phrase "everything but the kitchen sink." Just literally everything you can possibly imagine without being unrealistic. Later evolution of the phrase just includes the kitchen sink for hyperbole. Less imagining putting things into a sink, more imagining grabbing a group of things from your kitchen but not the sink, that'd be silly, its built into the counter and piped into the wall. Great video as always! I share your stuff to my fc/more casual friends to help mitigate some headaches when I run them through stuff we can't just brute force with ilvl and combat rezzes.
Also in a dungeon if the tank dies and you're a dps. You need to use what little self-healing and mits your job has, and depending on situation, I may start single-targeting to kill individual enemies earlier and further reduce incoming damage or even kite.
It's about to become a tradition where we seek Azzie's cute "BUT(T)!" within the videos. Good video with fun features involved. Keep up the good work 👏
I've never been so early to a video, but great stuff, especially for newer players or casual players getting into more serious endgame content! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Sam! I'm experimenting a bit with my content to make it more interesting and entertaining... I'm still far off with my entertainment value but I have a goal to work towards and it's honestly thanks to your video about FF14 content ❤
This was a solid video and I learned some useful stuff here. I'll admit I was hesitant due to the title and thumbnail, since I thought this stuff might not actually be relevant to new players, but this was probably one of the clearest and most efficient videos I've seen on this sort of thing.
Also with max melee, it also affects your Autos, (Tanks and Melee Dps) you will stop autoing the target at max melee, but you're able to use abilities still, so only really go max melee if a mechanic requires it, as autos still matter
Had to laigh hard at the cooldown names Astrologian: I will give you divination Dragoon: I will bestow on you a battle litany and grant you dragon sight!! Ninja: I mug :^)
Hey azurite I've always been interested. Do you use a normal keyboard and mouse. Or do you have anything else specifically like a mmo mouse and a keypad?
A lot of these make sense, the ones I hate are like dynamo and chariot because they communicate nothing about the AOE. I thought chariot was the donut AOE cause maybe that's the general shape a chariot does if it spun around and hit everything on its side, it'd leave a hole open in the middle where it can't hit due to how it would turn... but nope that's not it, that's a dynamo, chariot is the standard circle AOE around boss.
I agree, a lot of them do make sense, which is why I put that in the description! And also about Dynamo and Chariot, I plan to make a video about these terms as well! Because there's a lot... Limit cut and Proteans... and much more
Most of these Terms are named after the First Mechanic they Appeared. For Dynamo/Chariot its from Nail in Turn 9 of Coils of Bahamut. Lunar Dynamo and Iron Chariot iirc. These are often reffered as "Out" and "Donut". Same goes btw for Limit Cut. Cruise Chaser in The Alexander Raids was the First Encounter that introduces this Numbers with the Attack "Limit Cut" after that every Mechanic with that numbers is just called Limit Cut.
A lot of the dancers in my pf parties don't know what drift is...as they are already drifting into space lol. Also known as drifting 10+gcds. Only ever see dancers do this with tech step/,devilment
I just did my first savage raid ever last night (p9s) and I wish I had watched this video first because I had to keep asking my friends what the heck they were talking about with some of these terms. 😅 Didn't clear the fight, but did get past Levinstrike!
Those are just the usual terms that everyone uses, boomer terms are things like Twister, Chariot, Dynamo, Protean or Earthshaker that even confuse people who are already in to Savage Raiding
Drifting is a weird boomer term, idc what you say... You could just say miss aligning lmao Either way, its in the description that these aren't all boomer terms.
@@AzuriteTV No drifting and miss aligning is just not the same thing, A little bit of drifting won't cause miss alignment and you can miss align without drifting at all (using shadowbringer on cooldown and not hold it for 2 minutes for example) and it's also not excluse to buffs and drifting can happen both ways like paladins goring blade reverse drifting with skill speed
@Luna________ fair point. But this video is mostly aimed towards new players and for people who haven't played an MMORPG may not have any idea what GCD means when the game refers to them as weapon skills and spells. I have first hand experience with this as people comment on my guide video asking me what things like GCD means.
There probably needs to be a guide to the terms that aren't battle/fight related, but that folks will see anyway. Every MMO has its own slang, after all, stuff like Bio/bio break: a break for toilet, getting drinks/snacks, other biological needs. My small group of WoW refugees (who came over shortly after ARR released) used these and confused the heck out of FFXIV friends. I've seen it getting used a lot more since the big WoW exodus last year. gg: "good game". o/ = wave/hello o7 = salute
I hate how much animation lock combined with bad ping and make double weaving impossible without clipping. I wish they just decided animation lock client side and left it at that.
@@AzuriteTV the other mits are nice to have throughout the fight so healers dont even need to gcd you ever. like the stacks and czechoslovakia. plus 2nd buster is always hitting both tanks
Wait... slipstream right? I didn't realise you could triple there but makes sense given the recast time... but what do you even have up to weave at that point?
Some of the best DRG parses triple weave and i dont understand how they do it. I tried it myself and im clipping even with 25ms. But in the logs theyre not. How is that possible?
After 2 years of playing its finally good to have someone explain these terns since i even thought that drifting and slide casting meant the same thing
"Kids these days" keep inventing new words and shorter versions... just like the peeps back then did. But now it's called being a boomer when using the old stuff lel
Wtf One person says Support and everybody runs with it. As a main Tank we are not Support, and we hate being called that..T/H is just fine like it use to be..Btw good Vid
you’re the first tank i’ve met who hates being called that lol idk i don’t see anything wrong with that? just faster to say than “tanks and healers”. im a healer main btw

Extra horns increase your damage output by 10% or something like that

Kitchen Sinking is something I have had to do when I get picked for a TB as a DPS or healer and hope for the best
Also in a dungeon if the tank dies and you're a dps. You need to use what little self-healing and mits your job has, and depending on situation, I may start single-targeting to kill individual enemies earlier and further reduce incoming damage or even kite.

I've never been so early to a video, but great stuff, especially for newer players or casual players getting into more serious endgame content! Keep up the great work!
This video should be required viewing by literally anyone who wants to go in extremes or higher. So well put together!
This was great, didn't even feel like 10 minutes, awesome stuff, never knew about the Max Melee thingy
Thank you Sam! I'm experimenting a bit with my content to make it more interesting and entertaining... I'm still far off with my entertainment value but I have a goal to work towards and it's honestly thanks to your video about FF14 content ❤

I knew most of these, but not kitchen sink actually xD

Nah thats incorrect, although I believe there is a bug with some striking dummies that seems to cause this but your autos actually out range your GCD
Your aa range is farther than max melee
Had to laigh hard at the cooldown names
Astrologian: I will give you divination
Dragoon: I will bestow on you a battle litany and grant you dragon sight!!

Hey azurite I've always been interested. Do you use a normal keyboard and mouse. Or do you have anything else specifically like a mmo mouse and a keypad?
Keyboard and mouse. The mouse is an MMO mouse though so it has 12 buttons on the side, which is why I use 1-0 and - =
One thing I didn't see included is Everlasting Flight and Rekindle from SMN, idk if I would put it in personals or Party Mit since it can be both
i sometimes slidecast my chocobo mount animation...
...never on purpose, i'm just impatient

I’m still unclear on ERP, can you give an example and then show an example?

I learned about kitchen sinking last savage tier cuz you can just kitchen sink the first 'shared' tankbuster in p6s
I think you could Kitchen Sink every TB in P6S because it always happened when your 2min came back off cooldown, what ridiculous fight design >
@@AzuriteTV the other mits are nice to have throughout the fight so healers dont even need to gcd you ever. like the stacks and czechoslovakia. plus 2nd buster is always hitting both tanks
You'd think most savage and ultimate raiders know these concepts like the back of their hands. 💀💀💀
I don't even know the front of my hand
Isn't Slide-casting just Half a second left in the cast? I just peek at the timer
Unrelated question. What are your earrings?
10:02 thank god you dodged that Pepsi, you could’ve got corn syrup all over your nice clothes
Any of the ex-SMN mains get teary when he mentioned not triple weaving?
Wait... slipstream right? I didn't realise you could triple there but makes sense given the recast time... but what do you even have up to weave at that point?
@@AzuriteTV this was before 5.1 when pets were off the global cooldown. SMNs had to do it regularly.
@@SSDexter99 Ohh! Understood! I never touched SMN until EW I'll be honest >
In personals you missed DRGs Life surge :)
HAHA
Some of the best DRG parses triple weave and i dont understand how they do it. I tried it myself and im clipping even with 25ms. But in the logs theyre not. How is that possible?
They sound like sussy baka's, because that shouldn't be possible
I'd guess add-ons like "Noclippy" or a botted roto on low ping.
LoS Pull. Line of Sight Pull
body pull could be on there also

"Kids these days" keep inventing new words and shorter versions... just like the peeps back then did.
But now it's called being a boomer when using the old stuff lel
Wtf did you just say? I'm mote confuse than before I saw this.
What are YOU saying lil bro
calling "2mins" and "gcd" boomer terms is just sad
Call me sad then
how do people not know GCD or weaving omg
Wtf One person says Support and everybody runs with it. As a main Tank we are not Support, and we hate being called that..T/H is just fine like it use to be..Btw good Vid
you’re the first tank i’ve met who hates being called that lol idk i don’t see anything wrong with that? just faster to say than “tanks and healers”. im a healer main btw
Aha, I understand not liking the term support but it is just more convenient to refer to Tanks and Healers as such
