I must say I disagree with DRG's placement. I think it should be moved to S tier because I just backflipped off titan's stage again
Valid point.
Would you like to file an insurance claim with your jump insurance?
....with style though... ehh? Eehhh?
That made me laugh. Dragoon is my main so I hear you lol.
Red Mage pain.
As a red mage main i can relate
You have a special place in heaven for playing the game without hud just for a nice looking background video
crazy muscle memory
You do know that you can assign a button to remove the UI while pushed right?
@@dakotadoyle7573 I'm sure he's aware
It’s Wesk of course he knows
Man this video sucks it so informative and neatly condensed i`m going to like it and subscribe
I was already cracking up, but calling Machinist Macklemore, Mac-n-cheese, and Macarena is just comedy gold!
Should check the description and try the 1-90 guide then too!
@@WeskAlber I likely will. I have several jobs at 90, but I watch many of your videos because your delivery is great haha
@@WeskAlber Does that guide still apply with the recent changes? rotations included
@@MaindexOmega I know I missed this comment for months - RUclips is really bad at replies - but yes. It's a guide made for Endwalker.
The satire is golden in the video! Was definitely a breath of fresh air from the the usual “play this job or you will not have fun” content I see to often in games. Just another reason why I’m glad I subscribed and watch all of your job guides. Lol I trust no one else to give me the attention to detail you bring
Thank you for doing what you can to cut through all the "downer meta talk". Ppl have been acting cynical about job balance like it's about to go out of style. You're the hero we need, but don't deserve!
Idk man, people whining about 1-2% damage discrepancies is good entertainment. 🤫
Coming from other mmos I don't understand how people even dare to compare classes when there's a 10% dps difference between the highest and lowest (which % is given to another anyway).
I remember hearing about tank dps, how this is better than that and the difference was 3 fucking percent, y'all are crazy.
When you need to like play gnb in current tier bc war doesnt do enough? Yeah I think it matters. And its not just about dps/damage.
I think some jobs just aren't as fun bc of setbacks (how they play) and i feel there needs to be more balance from the devs giving each individual attention
@@Relhio 10% is a lot.
500 dps above the other is A LOT on a tank. 3% is a "small number" doesnt mean it's a small difference in dps.
His point wasnt that balance was good. Its not. His point is to have fun.
War and pld were banned in 7S and 8S. Over 500 dps less than the other 2 tanks? Even top tier players who DO play what they like had to swap.
My complaints and arguments aren't about meta (tho its logical to be most efficient/effective), but balance and equality. It's not just tank dps.
With all the bleeds and dot aoe damage, hol and dm are by far better. Why would shake and veil regen matter when it's based on the shield and it's gone in 1s?
Like criterion dungeons. I want to warrior. But with a 635 gnb weapon, I'd be losing 4 weapon damage. So while war is "better", its illogical to go with the damage loss when I just want to clear. This is still the "meta argument". Its going to be more effective to use the better weapon
@@delsingray5923 all I'm gonna say is if any group in wow can clear things and the dmg range is even wilder, most things in that 10% range are gonna be fine if people play well. Also forgetting that it's within a range. You're assuming that you're equally skilled at war and gnb, but that might not be right.
Your videos are so consistently the best in the business, love it! Thanks so much for putting a funny spin on this whole balance business.
I LOVE that you are continuing the joke of never saying Machinist the same way twice.
I love how you picked a fitting BGM for each job
Truly an amazing video. The fact that you squeeze in information between the memes is beautiful.
Your in depth job videos are awesome! But I’m glad to finally have a nice overall overview
As a DRG main I can confirm. Jumping is the worst part of the class until you master it. And when you truly become an overpowered pitchfork cricket, you understand why people stick with the job. Hopping around just feels so *good*
The pitchfork cricket, that is hilarious 😂
Slightly off topic, but I really liked WeskAlber artwork on all the job icons. A solid S++.
why thank you!
The artwork absolutely sucks. They're too well done and are creative. S tier
I'm not even half way through the video and it's already shaping up to be one of my favourites. 7 stars my dude😎
Thank you for this video, and for all others! I really appreciate everything you do and so far, agreed 100% with everything you said in this and in all the levelling guides I've watched and rewatched to learn to play decently all jobs, because I find them all to be fun, and I play them all equally. And though I am not in a financial position to support you like you deserve atm, and being in Italy it makes it very hard for me to match your streams, I just really wanted to thank you for teaching me how to be a good player (and I'm not just talking about my skills but as in attitude and behaviour most importantly), and for providing me with great videos to show my friends whenever they get "infected" by other RUclipsrs that like to fancy themselves connoisseurs of the game, when they really aren't, and of course also to teach them how to play the game properly! Thank you and keep up the good work!
Man, that machine guy nicknames was awesome, he can't possibly top --
"Why is he weak? Because shut up. So we put him in S tier, for shut up."
Awesome video, need to find some time to get back into 14, because it is so much fun. Play the job you like and have fun everyone.
Edit: God dang it autocorrect, it's S Tier, not A Tier!
This is why I love your videos, informative, pro and cons, no bs. Always learning something new with every video of yours.
finally a tier list I can get behind 👍
This is why I refer people to your videos. You’re not being negative to gain clicks. You’re mixing objective analysis with fair subjective discourse. I appreciate you and more FF14 content creators should be like this.
Wesk is in his bag in this video. Great job!
Monk has a high learning curve for sure, coming from ShB monk it felt super weird to adjust to it. However once I got used to it became absolute favorite job for raiding. It offers flexibility that a lot of other jobs don’t offer and has seen some of the greatest benefits from the 2 min buff cycle of EW.
Yeah, I switched from DRG after finishing 6.0. The last time I played MNK was in ARR, and it was sooo different, but it's really fun, now. It took a minute to get down, but it's become my new main. Love it.
I agree, once you get the hang of monk its very fun
I love your attitude here! All Jobs are fun, if you have the right mindset for them. My real roll is RDM -- I have it on all of my characters because sometimes I want to be the jack-of-all-trades for my party! RDM may not do the best damage, but I can pull my party's collective arse right out of the proverbial frying pan if only I have enough MP and time. The swashbuckling aspect is an immense plus, too! Current main is BRD -- being able to empower the party in so many ways is nearly as fun as my RDM experience! I am not able to heal others or rez as BRD, but I can toss out a Nature's Minne to help the tank get better heals!
My original main was BLM and it really is a challenge to play well. It's no longer my groove, but I still like to dabble in it on occasion.
I also enjoyed that you had face icons instead of the usual Soul icons or Job icons for this! Quite charming. Glad to sub and black-bell you!
... and I just got to the RDM part of your video and I am cackling in absolute glee at your Verblind humor. Vermillion Scourge is the zenith of eye death and I am all for it. Also all for GNB because it's a clicky fun Job that is my fave Tank.
Dude... DUDE... BLU... you addressed BLU and you did it right. It's an absolute pisstake of a Job and I love it for that. Wish BLU could function with normal Jobs in DF.
Love your videos - thank you
Haven't even finished watching yet and I'm way too excited for this video 😂
I realized what you were doing by the second job.
I like how tongue in cheek this is. I love how you give actual pros and cons qll the while saying "play what you want". How charmingly clever. What a unique Tier List.
Edit: Said all that before your outro. I am concerned for thise that couldn't tell, but I know people have done far more questionable things... Anyroad, nice video.
Finally, a video which tells you the prod and cons of every job without telling you what to play.
This is why your 1-90 guids are my gospel, granted i dont just follow your openers to the letter, but fantastic baseline for which to base ny ideal way to play
"huh, this guy's character looks a lot like Wesker"
*Notice channel's name*
"Ok, nevermind"
I like how this had to be made. Good stuff as usual.
OK hear me out, as a MCH main the names had me absolutely rolling, you've earned a like and a sub !
Glad a video that finally recognizes that Blue Mage is the only good job
They hated Wesk because he told them the truth.
Thank you!
Brilliant video! I'm glad I found you. S TIER! LOL
Oooh! New idea for a job: turret placement! Yeah there's Machinist, but they only have the one turret and it's single enemy.
This video actually convinced me to give Blue Mage a try. I had no idea there was so much content that was Blue Mage exclusive.
Happy to play a job that’s absolute trash with no learning curve. Perfect for me! This was a fun one to watch, thank you! 😁
This video is awful, provides no quality information and should be deleted from the internet.
Enjoy my like, comment and if I could subscribe again, I would. Thank you for the service that you provide to the FFXIV community in helping new players (like me!) discover all of the terrible jobs in this horrible game.
Please never stop making videos.
I'm so confused.
Prefer SCH over SGE any day but it depends on your play style. But if you play both, then PF SGE is easier with its oGCD shields but SCH is better in statics with its oGCD fairy heals and placement, chain strat and larger shields.
awesome!! TY!!
I'm still looking for a job that clicks with me as much as Bard does. I love keeping track of stuff, be it my dots, my song gauges, my buffs, my procs, my weaving and using my support skills. Timing the use of all my skills so my "burst" window fits the party buffs perfectly.
The closest jobs I found in different roles were Gunbreaker/Dark Knight as tank, Monk/Dragoon as Melee, Red Mage as caster and Astrologian as healer. But none of them are as consistently fun as Bard imo.
cool pfp
Well that's me more confused than before I clicked the video but I did enjoy it and had a chuckle.
Love your opinion about jobs in FF14
On liners of the jobs I play (in early ShB, done all normal instanced content)
DRG (L81): Just feels so good when you hit everything right, especially the dives and elusive jumps you save for max uptime.
DRK (L80): Having no reliable self-heals teaches me to be Good Boy Tank (like with jumps). And egde-lord supreme.
AST (L78): You never have the best tool for a particular situation, but you have a good tool in every situation. Also Essential Dignity >> Benediction, change my mind.
BRD (L76): My chill job that's busy enough to stay engaged.
RDM (L76): Yeah, uh, pretty much what you said lol.
NIN (L60): Only downside is that the rust kicks in rally fast if I don't play it for a while, otherwise lots of fun.
BLM (L62): I'm glad I played several other jobs in all roles before picking up BLM because putting all that experience together feels super satisfying and breathes new life into instances I've already done many times over. I also don't understand why other BLMs I see in DF aren't abusing Aetherial Manipulation like I am; no excuse to fall behind!
so is dance/black mage dance/samurai a good combo ? does it make the crazy damage even crazier
Yoo. This tier list is gospel. All job have badside. Just use any job, its fine
Got it, all jobs are horrible, so you just have to suffer through one of them until you unlock Blue mage 👍
Every single job i have leveled I think, this is my favorite job. And then I play the next one and think THIS is my favorite job. This video is perfect and some of those people you talk about i have unsubbed from because I feel like they are being negative for hate-clicks.
As someone who has ALWAYS hated BLM since I started playing back in 2015, I've grown to really enjoy the job. Ive always been a tank or melee DPS and just started diving into the role over the last few weeks and man, it's a pleasure to play when you finally "get it". Being able to teleport around the arena, faceroll through some attacks with Manaward and just decimate shit is so satisfying. Not to mention, you're a straight up unicorn sometimes because you won't see them too often. Especially ones that take the time to truly learn the jobs intricacies.
As someone new to the community and not knowing job abbreviations I was really confused by your opening statement 😂
@@griffinwade2058I was so confused seeing that lmao. I just started playing as well 😂
I still come back to this.
I like the job icons, they are very cute
thank you!! they're available as emotes in the discord... :3
I main WHM and SMN.. and boy oh boy do I get tired of the endless 'YoU PlAy SMN yOu BaD bRaInDeAd PlAyEr!" Especially since it's.. non raiders that say it most of the time lol. Like, okay? Does it make you feel better/more powerful to call some players braindead because they don't play what you do? Should the whole player base reroll Monk or Black Mage? Would that make the game more fun for you?
I DESPISE how much stuff gets called "braindead." Its so fucking elitist
Yes! Thank you! I love SMN because of it's flow, it's (super crazy thing here, I know) actually FUN 😁.
I love it because 1- it very strongly fits the theme of the WoL being the person they always send to fight primals, since it's a magical discipline specifically designed for fighting primals and 2- I find the the big summon attacks you get at 90 incredibly satisfying. I don't play it because it's 'easy'. I play it because it's freaking awesome.
@@meriwidget3474 Honestly, the 'braindead' bit is kind of a virtue to me at times. I normally like dragoon the most for my DPS of choice, but I love summoner's theme too, and sometimes I don't really want to focus on my rotation much if I'm just doing something mindless like running the Eureka bunny FATE. When doing stuff like that or grinding FATEs for a relic or whatever I almost always change to summoner, it's just relaxing and easy, but not in a bad way. The way people describe its old super hard rotation used to scare me away from the job, but now it's inclusive and I can enjoy summoning Bahamut without worries!
Healing Bush was my nickname in highschool.
I'll trust any advice you give with that gigachad voice!
Black mage is really satisfying and fulfilling but is extremely challenging. Once you find a balance between damage and movement it’s excellent
I'm just starting out, currently in Stormblood post game, and I really want to like BLM. But man, it feels really freaking bad. It feels so awful when I do my rotations perfectly, and then my vet friend says the dancer is out damaging me by a ton. It feels like I do no damage lol...
In comparison, when I play RDM I could screw up my mana, or mistime my ogcd and yet somehow I'm doing way more damage than the black mage in my raid party. I don't get it.
Your rotation isn't as perfect as you think if a DNC is outdpsing you. Especially in 8-man content.
Or you are dropping far too many casts by not pre-positioning for mechs or not using your aetherial manipulation.
Lastly, make sure you aren't severely undergeared.
@@SoulReaperIsHere Brother, have you seen the DPS from BLM pre level 80? It's barely worth the trouble lol. And I know, it's presumptuous for me to say I'm doing my rotations perfectly as a sprout, but I ASSURE YOU I genuinely did it perfectly.
After that conversation with my friend, I installed ACT just to find out what's what. I have SAM, NIN, RDM, BRD, MNK, SMN, MNK and RPR as level 70 DPS jobs and I swear on my mama I'm usually the top DPS in 4mans, and always in top 3 in 8 mans when I play any of the classes other than BLM and Bard. I studied my stuff, Wesk Alber and the Balance.
@@acupoflatte8594 I have as I do run duties as BLM pre level 90. Including synced down for old EXs.
The only expansion where it feels weak is ARR due to relying on F3 procs. Otherwise I am frequently top DPS in most content if I don't die or make mistakes.
This is why I think you must be missing something if you're struggling to hit high DPS on BLM. You said you studied your stuff but I'll repeat the basic here.
Most damage in a 8-man is from Fire IV and you should be doing 6 every fire phase except for your Fire Opener where you will cast fewer. In dungeons the name of the game is triplecasting flares after getting the dmg up buff from Fire II. A minimum of 2 and you can push it to 4 with manafont and an ether. Naturally keep the DoT up.
If you really are doing that and XIV analysis, a website where you can plug in your uploaded parse for it to scrutinise, isn't screaming at you for not casting enough then the only factor left is gear. Which if you're levelling shouldn't be a huge issue as you have easy access to tome sets.
Checking my parses just now, even at level 90, something like 40% of a BLM's damage (in 8-man content) is from Fire IV. So if there are any cracks in your Fire IV uptime game then you will suffer hugely.
Quite possibly the worst video I have ever seen on this website. S tier.
(I was listening to this while driving home and burst out laughing multiple times. Awesome analysis for someone like me interested in trying some new jobs.)
My issue right now is not so much class, it’s finding a race I want to play as, I’ve made at least 15 characters over the past month, and I just can’t decide .
Feels good to main SSS blu.
Love the meme of throwing everything in the same tier, while being legit explanatory for each class. Well done.
FSH is the best job. After getting everything to 90 the only thing that fills my decrypted soul with joy, is fishing. Go dancer or white mage if you wanna prog ERP savage
The only job with 1 mount, several minion, many titles, some of it have more prestige than Legend. And oceanfishing
@@inhuahua1 Based fellow FSH bro. White mage has a mount but we don’t talk about that.
Anyone else just read the title, and thought wow that's a very broad topic, how are they going to do that. Then noticed it was prefaced with FF14 and was like ooooh, that type of job.
Best tier list.😉
Isn't Gunbreaker the busiest tank?
The way you did machinist I'm dying 😂😂😂
What is that red armour set you're wearing in the Paladin section? It looks amazing!
Also, amazing rankings, couldn't agree more as a BLM main.
Law's Order from completion of Delebrum Reginae (Savage)
I have videos on my clear of that!
@@WeskAlber ooo, I might go give those a watch! Thank you very much.
I struggle with normal delubrum myself, so I might not be getting that particular set anytime soon haha.
@@emeraldaurora1958the gear itself should be available for a few bozjan golden coins, but it'll be undyeable, dyeing unlocks after augmenting it with drops from DRS.
As for the difficulty of DRS, I'd say it's in line with a series of EX trials, you'll need a bit to figure out how each fight works, but after that you should be just fine. (And the knowledge will also help you run DR normals with more confidence)
most DC's have one or more discord servers that are dedicated to helping people clear, using a few different methods, I could share a link if you want (if you tell me what DC you're on that is)
@@Sven080100 I am on Ultros, Primal!
Dark is the busiest? Gnb has nearly a just as busy opener then has double weave required burst windows every 30 seconds. Meanwhile dark knight hits 1 2 3 for a whole minute. And most it's burst windows past the opener are less busy as the job has awkward ogcd cooldowns. Gnb far busier.
I picked up all the jobs except anything after 50. level all of them to 50 learn their level 50 kit thats where you have the basis of their rotation. Pick the one that feels right to play. Became a dark knight main and astro sub
This the second video I hear you mention a "toolkit", are you referring to the hotbar?
A job toolkit is their set of skills
@@WeskAlber Ah I see, thanks.
yeah i know, i'm still stuck at april 1st...
Jokes aside, i really like this video. no discriminations, no talk shit, just what the job can do best.
I'm still not knowing what I'll main. 😢
I made the wonderful mistake of starting this game with Black Mage and I regret all yet none of it.
I need to know the glam for used for Caster jobs!!
Its listed in all the EW job guides for each job. I can't recall the name of every piece atm.
Yknow I thought ‘hahaha that WoL looks like Wesker’ and then I saw your name lol
God. I had an FC member who had a massive hate boner for White Mage and anyone who played it. He himself was a Scholar, and he praised me for playing Astrologian at the time. When I mentioned a friend who's a pretty good healer playing white mage he called them brain-dead. O.o wasn't even anything meta related, just the mechanical complexity of Astrologian or Scholar made you a better person in his eyes.
well sold Blu :D
'donkey based youtubers' if you're talking about who i think you're talking about then you hit that lowkey criticism spot on
I really liked the part where you took the piss ... out of the entire community. 🤘🤣
Fc mate: reaper is the best dps job for high end raiding, zero argument.
My arguments: Hehe, ice shurikens go 67000!!!
Lightning go BONG, BONG, BOOM!
Rabbit go 'Mugu mugu'
So happy to see Blue mage get the respect it deserve after bing my favorite class across all games. Truly the only S+.
BLM has aetherial teleport
and the ley lines teleport (that should get changed to lv 60 already comon)
misrepresented my class, absolutely awful guide, liked and subscribed
This video gives me “Is she into you?” Vibes 😂😂
Dragoon is also the only melee class that has directional AOE, despite Samurai having it overhauled for an 'around the character' aoe. This makes him really annoying in clearing dungeons as you constantly have to target a new enemy when a previous one dies and not an avarage enemy but one thats in the middle of the pack which makes it near impossible to target with a mouse. Fuck me.
Middle of the pack is often the wrong choice. You want the edge of the pack so you have a steeper angle. DRG AoE is just superior to all other melee
@@WeskAlber yes it also means that you have to target each enemy individually and sometimes when I TAB to swap targets it just randomly chooses the worst target possible and most damage is just wasted
Haven't started the video yet this is just a thumbnail appreciation comment
Ninja's quite unique as the Mudras and TenChiJin (the skill, not the mudras) make you practice trigger discipline :
- press Mudras too fast and or multiple times and you might get a bunny or the wrong Ninjutsu ;
- Press TenChiJin while jumping, moving or being pushed around and you'll just get it cancelled completely ;
The only big issue all of this causes is with a rubberbanding connection : if you're losing network packets, sometimes the server won't register a keypress and mess the Mudra combo, I don't recommend the experience to anyone
The true class you had to choose was the uninstall button, thank you for helping with the choice!
Sam was yeah. I had to be supported that I wasnt bad
I'm just here to see if I'm making a mistake and overwhelming myself with samurai even though I doubt I'd change my mind lol. Do need a tank and I'm thinking the whitest dark knight. I'd play paladin if I could hide the shield.
You can hide it using "The emperor's new shield" as a glamour
Machinima doesn’t need party buffs. It has Peliton and I greatly appreciate this.
The only actual teir list that make sense. It sucks. Thank you
Machinist has a defensw raid buff ;o
TLDR; play Warrior. Rename duty groupings to “Warrior Lite, Full Warrior, and 24-WARs”
haven't seen Brds in PFs in ages..., only see Dnc or a few Mch..
What's the opposite of a compliment sandwich
WHAT ARE YOU?!
An idiot sandwich....
an insult soup
An insult burrito; you think you’re biting into an insult but the stuffing surprises you.
@@Bobberation I landed on soup as being the opposite of a sandwich, as well.
In all seriousness I only hated playing 2 classes, Monk and Scholar, every other class, even if I didn't main them I still enjoyed playing them.
Monk is so good post endwalker though, what did you not like about it?
@@user-pi8pi3wj7h Mainly the constant need to refresh buffs, it just tipped over the edge from busy into too frantic.
@@user-pi8pi3wj7h not the one you asked, but I can provide a different view. I love Monk's kit mostly but I absolutely hate Perfect Balance + Beast Chakra. I'd main this job if it didn't have the Beast Chakra system. The standard gcd rotation flows so nicely but alternating Bootshine and Dragon Kick throws that flow out the window and feels wrong. That's just my opinion though.
I was going to wonder if you were gonna rip apart the jobs and put them in F tier, but you showed me. XD
Seriously, this is why I am not in FFXIV right now, because people are so toxic about the job balancing. People need to get over it.
Damn this video sucks for a new player to watch, so much information. S tier work
insert "Had me going in the first half, not gonna lie" meme here
As someone picking up Black Mage the start of this video discouraged and then confused me
Speaking of excluding jobs, remember when some people banned Summoner from PF at the start of Endwalker because they were annoyed by how large the summons were?
Wait... But... You can literally change their sizes with /petsize
@@FinnFann Yeeeeeeeeep.
Never underestimate the propensity for some to put the blame on others before themselves.
Absolutely love how you’re taking the piss out of those who are slaves to the Meta and those quick to put down really good jobs which are all.
gotta admit they had us at the first half
I agree blue mage best job
