Another little fun fact I discovered by mistake: Swiftcast works for Motifs while in battle. It's great if you need some Hammer Time as quickly as possible.
@@dbzteen31885 One good optimisation is that if you're going to be moving for more than 2 seconds, you'll want to swiftcast a motif. If you're in a state where you need to paint anyway and you're forced to move, this is a gain. For picto it's far more important to get casts off, than worrying about optimal damage output as if you can't paint and get your burst windows set up correctly, you'll fail art class.
@kubekzpiciem it's the same recast timer as if you had hardcasted the motif. So for anyone wondering, you do not "save" time with swiftcast. This is why you should try not to cast any motif during the burst window, to maximize damage.
Use Fire In Red's combo till you get the stacks for Subtractive Pallate. Use the spells Subtractive gives you. Always use your Motifs so you can immediately use Muses off cooldown. Anything that i miss, use the moment you can. Grats, you have learned the very difficult and extremely long rotation for Pictomancer. Enjoy your colorful experience and your damage that makes Black Mages jealous.
thank you for this guide. so many other picto guides don't even say the skill names or even show the picture of the skill being casted it was all just "do this do this and this into that"
Been loving your guides! Would def want to see a rotation guide. Haven't played a DPS since ARR but have really enjoyed Pictomancer; coming from a print education background
It’s here, ive been waiting for this to drop. I know its not a complete guide on rotations and stuff, but I definitely use it to have an idea of the basics of how to start to set up my rotation in which i figure it out from there
As an art student in college, this was the kick that got me to play FFXIV after having it recommended to me by friends. This game is amazing and I'm so happy I found it
Thus they set forth on a long and grueling path. If you play 8 hours a day it will take you about 2 months to catch up to the point of unlocking it. FFXIV I think is worth it, but still something to keep in mind lol...
@@Dark3nedDragon Yeah for sure, I started in January and didn't finish post EW until like..2-3 weeks before DT's launch. It's possible if you pretty much mainline all the story but I haven't done much besides that
I can’t thank you enough for this and your other job guides. I don’t generally consider myself an idiot but, when it comes to new jobs and the first few days trying them out, it’s my brain can’t interpret the tool tips. So I follow the glowing buttons. But eventually it is cool to actually know how to make the most out of a job. So thank you. 👍
I played through the whole DT MSQ as Picto and I've been maining it since, but it was only until I watched this video I figured out what the Starry Muse ring does and also that Star Prism has a heal effect to it 😂 Thank you for enlightening me!
thanks a lot for this, the skill descriptions can be a little daunting especially when jobs start at higher levels so a nice and simple explanation like this is very welcome. considering by the devs' own admission jobs with utility will need to do less dmg i am almost certain we're either getting other caster buffs or picto's damage will be lower when actual endgame comes around. Still looks like a fun job with plenty of variations and options, I'm gonna enjoy it a lot!
I would be interested in an in depth rotation guide. I have been playing ff14 for about 2 years but have never dived deep into "getting good". I love pictomancer so much though that I would love to actually play "properly" and then see where I can go from there! :D thanks for all your videos.
Based on my recent experience of a tank suddenly deciding to move the mobs after I'd already put down my starry circle, it seems you have to inside the circle when it ends to get the instacast rainbow drip.
Just at a glance, this definitely feels like a job that snowballs super hard. Which makes sense, since you're literally painting your rotation. It almost feels like a slower Red Mage with the potential damage of Black Mage.
Thanks so much for this! I adore the pictomancer class but figuring out how rainbow drip was “activated” was beyond me. I thought it had something to do with the black/white paint
Thanks for this simple yet effective christal clear video 🎉🎉 That’s why I love your content this much ❤ I’m 89 pictomancer and I’ll main it for this expansion I think 🎉 see you on stream ❤🎉
The best times are when the boss is un-targetable (duh) or second best is when you have to turn away. Otherwise I try to cast it whenever and keep a white paint or two just in case for movement Edit: forgot to say don't recast during the starry night buff, that 3 second cast time is a massive damage loss during the damage window
I kinda wanted final title to be like "Relm Reborn" or "Peaktomancer". Picto perfect is kinda boring. What a missed opportunity. Also would be nice if we could draw-write something, like bards or dancers with their stuff. Anyway fun class with toon force powers:D !
Something I forgot to mention, these spells/abilities use up Hyperphansatia stacks as well.
- Holy in White
- Comet in Black
- Star Prism
Can you use hyperphantasia on the canvases too?
@codedduelist5309 you wouldn't want do anyways would be a dps loss
@@ciaranmadden9469 Was just wondering, thanks for letting me know! ^^
@@ciaranmadden9469 Using a muse that gets you a full creature is not a loss during that time and it's a part of the standard opener.
@@DracoSuavesorry yes in the opener only
Another little fun fact I discovered by mistake: Swiftcast works for Motifs while in battle. It's great if you need some Hammer Time as quickly as possible.
Yeah since you have such a long cast/recast time you can triple weave inside. I like to use it to wing muse/Funny Moogle Death Cannon/hammer time
I feel like optimizing the class will be learning when to swiftcast for Motifs

You get long gcd after swiftcasting motifs

HOLLOW PURPLE
Your combination of script, clear narration and explanation and adding the in game icons and names makes this so useful! Great job!
Came here to learn how to rez and the only thing I learned is that a whole party of randos gaslit me into thinking I could rez TToTT
tempera grassa? star prism? addle?
love how the subtractive palette (CMYK) is normally only for professional photo printing. but you can use it by hand with the power of magic
thank you for this guide. so many other picto guides don't even say the skill names or even show the picture of the skill being casted it was all just "do this do this and this into that"

YAY! As someone pretty far from Dawntrail, I've been living vicariously through videos. So nice to see more videos from you!
I… don’t think I’ve ever been this early to ANY video before.
Also this class almost makes me want to get into FFXIV. It looks so fun. :)
As a long time FFXIV player This is the first caster to surpass Red Mage in terms of fun for me. It truly is an excellent job to play.

i'd love to see guides for openers and roations for all jobs honestly

It’s dead at work and I figured since I’m picking this job up after I get off I’d look at what I’m about to get myself into

Aside from blue mage, to my knowledge, picto is the first class to have an offensive water spell
Actually, White Mage had fluid aura, which did damage. So Picto is the 3rd class with an offensive water spell

picto does the top of dmg of all jobs, blm doesnt even do more dmg that the lowest melee (ninja) so yea
@@Kirianda wait did they nerf Blm?? I thought it competed with Samurai for most dmg.

Video of the RUclips reading tool tips sick
I would like an opener and rotation video...also appreciate this one! ^.^
Please make a rotation guide! This video was lovely, tysm
Love your guides
It's honestly insane how powerful Picto is despite the fact that it's easier than even Summoner.
you should make a in-depth pictomancer guide
I would love to see a more in depth guide!
No matter how many guides I watch or how much I practice. I don't get this class at all. My brain hurts with it lol
hes overcomplicating it just press what glows its super simple
bro this job is braindead lmao
Prolly gonna get nerfed soon, looks fun tho!
would love a rotation guide!
super fun class its my new main ever since it first came out. i love smashing people with a cartoon hammer like loony toons! xD
I'd love to see a more in-depth guide as well
I love this job despite getting killed everytime
Since Motifs are long cast, when do you recast them after usage?
You can do it whenever, just make sure not to cap the charges for creature/weapon
Swiftcast works for Motifs during fights, in case you need to quickly get a Motif up to immediately use.
The best times are when the boss is un-targetable (duh) or second best is when you have to turn away. Otherwise I try to cast it whenever and keep a white paint or two just in case for movement
Edit: forgot to say don't recast during the starry night buff, that 3 second cast time is a massive damage loss during the damage window

Please do AST next, it got a significant rework so it should be different enough to need a new video.
