Its about to get a lot better too, they are buffing WAR damage by upping some weapon skill potency, they are re working shake it off & removing the beast gauge reduction on stance change, it's about to become a monster for damage again. The 6 fell cleave rampage will become a viable battle combo while tanking now you can keep all your beast gauge & it'll hit harder too. Welcome back to stance dancing.
That's the only thing they did though potency wise so far though Dispel. I rarely use path. I highly prefer Butcher's Block as it actually generates aggro and is the final part of your aggro/dmg rotation
Good job in the video. Half the people in this thread, with the hate-spewing and irrational criticisms, are a big reason why players leave the game and are far less willing to try things outside their comfort zone, let alone share their triumphs. Constructive criticism goes a lot farther than just saying 'you suck dude, you did it all wrong'.
MyVanir agreed. I healed as sch since release and then when heavensward came out i tried DRK... and 90% of the people just shit talked me. So I quit tank, and instead of getting better at it.. I went back to healing as SCH
It's not the tanks/healers responsibility to tell people to dodge aoe's. I don't heal stupid and I pull what I want based in how I feel the healer is doing when I tank. If I don't think the healer can handle large pulls then I don't pull a lot of stuff. This guy did a good job. Its not like he's trying to impress y'all anyway. He's expressing his love of the game.
Why are people mad you aren't in deliverance lol, you wouldn't be able to equilibrium or inner beast?? This isn't w.o mistakes but this is hella impressive, good going. Edit: PLD would be able to do it actually, just wanna say that
Clemence mana costs are really high and also it does not even heal that much you guys need to shush seriously dont know whyy all hate on pld when everyone plays DRK now
If I see one more idiotic comment about a tank having to be in DPS stance to tank I swear I will cast meteor as a Goldsmith. Tanks are supposed to tank. If he went into dps stance in this video he very well may have died due to less defense and no healing from the skills which only heal you in tank mode.
Hehehe. Little did you know Endwalker would push the self healing to obscene levels. at 40% health on boss in the last story dungeon I ended up tanking two busters and multiple stacks/spreads/ raidwides but still lived because too angry to die. Ended up dying to a doom stack because i blinked at wrong time at 1% health. Warrior 4ever. Here because my algorithim showed it to me lol
I still haven't started. My son and I started about a week before Stormblood came out. So we're just now at 66 with our Sam/Rdm combo. But I will likely go Warrior. I like being able to do decent dps and have enough self heals and defense to pull out a boss fight if things go badly. I saw a Pally attempt this in Bardam's Mettle today......it wasn't pretty.
It looks like your play zone is cropped, I think it can be fixed with a setting on your television, might be a PS4 setting, I forget. I just know that I had the same issue on ps4 after an update or something once and I didn't know how to fix it right away, but you can fit your UI to the corners if you fiddle with settings somewhere
This is still incredible to watch I miss the old actions for the warrior, Paladin and the dark Knight even though its only 4 years old this has aged very nicely now prince has shown that was what a warrior was like before the actions got abit simplified way to go prince
Thanks for the kind words! Funny enough, this was recorded on release day and everyone believed Warrior was bad cause of all the changes they did to it for Stormblood. Plus this was before the change to let us keep our beast gauge when changing stances and I hadn't done the level 70 warrior quest so I didn't even have Inner Release yet lol. I sometimes come back and watch it to see how far I've come as a player and how much different the game is now-a-days.
Sadly people so much hate in the comment, but that is why we as a tank takes hates from mobs. The facts that he use Tank stance instead use Deliverance because want to use the Inner Release and equilibrium. People who said he fail as WAR in this video probably they like those DPS in this video, die and useless.
I would have liked this video, but you talk down about PLD. A job that, not only could have done the same thing, but done it faster and kept his team alive.
I do have the extended hotbars active... It's just that I've been playing without them for so long its just easier for me to click r1 multiple times over holding both triggers of double tapping them :/
Everyone is shitting on the WAR but as a healer main, I'm mortified that the healer died so early on to something you can dodge so easily. Absolute garbage lmao
Yo everybody released and he's alone and he killed a boss.. yo hell yea, a pld could have done better and faster but he used all the tools to keep himself alive as WAR. WAR isnt like when it used to be like in 3.0.... and you guys missing the point "This is why I love playing Warrior in FFXIV" he didnt say anything about WAR is the best lol Let the guy have his moment. You guys shitting on WAR but back then 3.0, people shit on PLD, and early 3.0, people bitch about DRK. MAKE UP YOUR FUKING MIND.
"MAKE UP YOUR FUKING MIND." - They did. There was this thing called changes between each of those periods you mentioned, in which the balance between tanks changed. I know it's a hard concept to grasp, but you can do it if you try long and hard enough.
I mean everything would've been cool if the guy didn't directly call out the other 2 tanking classes... the main point which you expressly left out of your comment..
don't listen to the haters I've been a WAR since the beginning and you did awesome all these people jumping on the PLD bandwagon is funny. PLD does deserve what it's got for a kit now but all these stormblood PLDs out of nowhere don't even know
I'm more trigger by visible unusued spots on the bar 7 and the fact that he didn't even bother to try and line it up with his job gauge in symmetrical level.
ウィーアブー I play on PS4 and have all my HUD pushed to the edges to have my visible space. Most videos I see of ps4 players use default HUD and I always wonder why this is. There is a LOT of customization that can be done.
ウィーアブー I play on ps4 and a TV and by ui doesn't look nearly this horrible lol. I minimized everything pushed it all to the corners to maximize space. Pc players on the other hand I've seen far worse looking trash just thrown everywhere on their screen and I wonder how they can even see their characters
Warrior was way way way OP in heavensward and deserved to be nerfed badly. Stormblood 4.0 may have gone slightly too far but the fact is it was previously way too good. It's still good now. I'm actually switching tank mains from PLD to WAR because I got bored.
wdym a pally wouldn't be able to do that lol a pally would prob replace the healer for 3 dps and keep all of them alive even if they eat all the aoe lol
A novice that solod the second half of the boss while everyone else was dead. Could it have been cleaner and done faster. Maybe. But it's funny how he did that and no one is harping on the rest of the party that couldn't avoid slow and simple mechanics and failed
1. it's a boss that barely attacks you, 2. a paladin would have done it faster and kept his teammate alive. now come t omorow that might change with the nerfs and buffs
They use alot of the old bosses and enemies.I honestly think its a great thing to do in this game so you don't have to turn on your older ff games to see the old bosses,you can fight them here.can't say the same for WoW especially its story that is the equivalent of the game "Destinys" story
No no no, your doing it all wrong. You're supposed to give up immediately and run to the forums, complaining that SE ruined the class by taking away it's top damage and sustain, making it unplayable. So when I see any more warriors complaining, I'll forward them to this video. But you're wrong about Paladin not being able to do that, lol. We get spammable Clemency. As awesome as IB/Equilibrium is, Clemency>>>>>>>>IB/Equilibrium. Solo the final 20% of Zenos and then you may be better than a PLD in solo content! But I'll admit, your damage is far better during solo than a PLD cause your heals are built right into your DPS.
Noone who complains ever said that Warrior isn't solid if you stay in defiance mate. It still shits on the other tanks when it comes to cooldown synergy as long as you don't go into deliverance and, personally, i believe it is the most fun and challenging to play in Stormblood, but even so it still has issues from the min/max and hardcore perspectives. Or even in large dungeon pulls(not bosses) the lack of AoE HP sustain lowers survival rates due to the way defiance works, but that's mostly an issue healers have to deal with.
Not to mention Pally's "requiescat" insta-attack that increases healing + Divine Veil. Throw in a cover for the sam and that lb would've gone off, defense buff + intervention and this would've been an easy win. And you know what a Pally would've said? "Phew, looks like *we* managed to get through that one, good job guys!" Still, kudos on solo-ing a boss. No kudos for shitting on other tanks because you pulled a win out of your ass.
ZeeHero lol keep telling yourself that. You have an enmity combo for a reason, you have a tank stance for a reason.... Get a lot of aggro, then start dpsing... If a DPS has 99% of the aggro when a boss dies, you still did your job as a tank.
incorrect. Less dmg, maybe, id have to do the math of how much innerbeast would be doing with eye up, and how much longer it would take to build up to innerbeast. But more self healing? nope. You get to innerbeast quicker w/o going into eye, and path heals you. Essentially 2 paths heals more than 1 path with eye on them. 200% vs 110% (more accurately 4 paths = 400% vs 3 paths and an eye for 330%, so a difference of 70% less healed) Though people arguing if deliverance would have been better, when they cant use the potent healing of inner beast is questionable at best. if anything, his lack of using CDs to lower dmg was more noticeable imo. Had reprisal up the whole fight. Would have been better used on some auto attack than never used at all.
this video should be named "why you shouldn't play war in stormblood". and honestly I think it would have been faster to let it kill you and come back with full party. I clicked this video expecting 6 fell cleaves and I get this?!?!
Killer Kash I was honestly waiting for 6 fel cleaves the whole video but I kinda lost hope when I noticed tank stance still on and him baiting those aoes to the wall
Hate to burst your bubble, but both Pld and Drk could have done that. Pld would have done it easily, and probably have kept at least the samurai alive way longer. Drk would have more difficulty, but would have been able to survive as well.
Took you 3 minutes to use your first infuriate, you also forgot to unchained and all the times you went to the edges to bait the aoe u could have done a full storm's path combo on the boss, but yeah, WAR is so weak now, square pls buff, and nerf PLD too [+sarcasm]
all that running around wasting gcds is what killed you guys. if you would have been in deliverance FC the shit out of it that thing wouldve died b4 your sam did.
buncha negative nancies on here. glad to see at least one person is having fun
Its about to get a lot better too, they are buffing WAR damage by upping some weapon skill potency, they are re working shake it off & removing the beast gauge reduction on stance change, it's about to become a monster for damage again.
The 6 fell cleave rampage will become a viable battle combo while tanking now you can keep all your beast gauge & it'll hit harder too. Welcome back to stance dancing.
Hopefully we get our potency buffs soon as well as the shake it off changes because those didn't come in right away for 4.05
They buffed the storm's path potency.
That's the only thing they did though potency wise so far though Dispel. I rarely use path. I highly prefer Butcher's Block as it actually generates aggro and is the final part of your aggro/dmg rotation
Right, but since path is the combo that generates 20 gauge the buff to that seems nice.
As a Warrior main, I aspire to your greatness! That was awesome to watch unfold. I salute you!!
Good job in the video. Half the people in this thread, with the hate-spewing and irrational criticisms, are a big reason why players leave the game and are far less willing to try things outside their comfort zone, let alone share their triumphs.
Constructive criticism goes a lot farther than just saying 'you suck dude, you did it all wrong'.
The hate from people, along with DPS who absolutely refuse to git gudder are the reason people don't play tanks more.
MyVanir agreed. I healed as sch since release and then when heavensward came out i tried DRK... and 90% of the people just shit talked me. So I quit tank, and instead of getting better at it.. I went back to healing as SCH
I respect your take on the vid.
My only criticism is this:
1) He's playing a tank job/class.
2) His healer and DPS are dead.
X,D
It's not the tanks/healers responsibility to tell people to dodge aoe's. I don't heal stupid and I pull what I want based in how I feel the healer is doing when I tank. If I don't think the healer can handle large pulls then I don't pull a lot of stuff. This guy did a good job. Its not like he's trying to impress y'all anyway. He's expressing his love of the game.
Why are people mad you aren't in deliverance lol, you wouldn't be able to equilibrium or inner beast?? This isn't w.o mistakes but this is hella impressive, good going.
Edit: PLD would be able to do it actually, just wanna say that
Two Reqqed Clemencies with Convalescence on can probably top your hp.
Clemence mana costs are really high and also it does not even heal that much you guys need to shush seriously dont know whyy all hate on pld when everyone plays DRK now
pallys have a passive that reduces the cost of spells...
If I see one more idiotic comment about a tank having to be in DPS stance to tank I swear I will cast meteor as a Goldsmith. Tanks are supposed to tank. If he went into dps stance in this video he very well may have died due to less defense and no healing from the skills which only heal you in tank mode.
He could of stance swapped during tail laser, then swap back
@@ArsisKytori your right but I think he. Had adrenaline rushing...
Hehehe. Little did you know Endwalker would push the self healing to obscene levels. at 40% health on boss in the last story dungeon I ended up tanking two busters and multiple stacks/spreads/ raidwides but still lived because too angry to die. Ended up dying to a doom stack because i blinked at wrong time at 1% health.
Warrior 4ever. Here because my algorithim showed it to me lol
Well played! you freaked out a bit at the start, but then chilled and Said... I got this, HOLD MY BEAR!
Tank, DPS and healer all in 1.
I was struggling to decide which tank to level first......
Not anymore.
01gharms ...so which one did you decide to levrl?
I still haven't started. My son and I started about a week before Stormblood came out. So we're just now at 66 with our Sam/Rdm combo. But I will likely go Warrior. I like being able to do decent dps and have enough self heals and defense to pull out a boss fight if things go badly. I saw a Pally attempt this in Bardam's Mettle today......it wasn't pretty.
Just op :)
Thats y i got turned on to war, i havent solod a dungeon boss yet, but ive been practicing on the boss fates :D
It looks like your play zone is cropped, I think it can be fixed with a setting on your television, might be a PS4 setting, I forget. I just know that I had the same issue on ps4 after an update or something once and I didn't know how to fix it right away, but you can fit your UI to the corners if you fiddle with settings somewhere
As a dark knight main this makes me question my own job
This is still incredible to watch I miss the old actions for the warrior, Paladin and the dark Knight even though its only 4 years old this has aged very nicely now prince has shown that was what a warrior was like before the actions got abit simplified way to go prince
Thanks for the kind words! Funny enough, this was recorded on release day and everyone believed Warrior was bad cause of all the changes they did to it for Stormblood.

Sadly people so much hate in the comment, but that is why we as a tank takes hates from mobs. The facts that he use Tank stance instead use Deliverance because want to use the Inner Release and equilibrium. People who said he fail as WAR in this video probably they like those DPS in this video, die and useless.
"You should have been in deliverance."
You guys realize that bloodbath is gone from the game, right?
I would have liked this video, but you talk down about PLD. A job that, not only could have done the same thing, but done it faster and kept his team alive.
Pally would've done that far easier.
Pally would have kept his team up so the fight would've been over in half the time.
so the paladin has a skill that helps the team avoid AOEs?
No but he got cover, intervention and passages of arms which help a lot for the team to survive
chris chris well, yes and no. It can't prevent team mates from standing in AoEs, but it can prevent the damage to them.
One of the things i love about war too lol
I miss bloodbath and second wind on warrior
You should try extended hotbars, it can make keeping track and use of cd´s easier, instead of all that hotbar switching
I do have the extended hotbars active... It's just that I've been playing without them for so long its just easier for me to click r1 multiple times over holding both triggers of double tapping them :/
I prefer to keep a single regular hotbar over my chotbar for tracking CDs. This way it takes a single look to see if a CD is up or not.
I did it as Pally, our self heals are boss, especially in this patch with the 8 second buffer. Dark Knight's can't though.
That is impressive.
I don't get why people in this comment section want WARs to switch stances when they know it will pretty much fuck up whatever resource you have.
Wrong, they Changed that with 4.01
RiverNeo wrong they changed it in 4.05
Brian Guest the video was made a month ago
beast skills
Everyone is shitting on the WAR but as a healer main, I'm mortified that the healer died so early on to something you can dodge so easily. Absolute garbage lmao
Yo everybody released and he's alone and he killed a boss.. yo hell yea, a pld could have done better and faster but he used all the tools to keep himself alive as WAR.

it seems like I haven't really played the game enough. I already got all my tanks to 70 already and I enjoyed them all xD
I mean everything would've been cool if the guy didn't directly call out the other 2 tanking classes... the main point which you expressly left out of your comment..
"oh my" if this isn't me idk what is
don't listen to the haters I've been a WAR since the beginning and you did awesome all these people jumping on the PLD bandwagon is funny. PLD does deserve what it's got for a kit now but all these stormblood PLDs out of nowhere don't even know
Clutch reminds me of my dungeon clears as a ninja with no tank
Paladin can definitely do that though, they are over stacked with that new passive that lets them clemency for days
that was great, wp
Well if you actually used storm's eye every 30 sec you would have killed it 10 mins ago
DRK shall rise again
Great job. Dont sleep on paladins tho they wouldve had way less trouble
I remember when I duo'd Ifrit HM as a lv 50 PLD with a lv 50 WHM down from over 80% health to a win. That was with cure1 pre-Heavensward.
that guy said pld couldnt do it, lol pld self healing is super cheat. prob woulda had full hp the whole fight.
they should give wars bloodbath back to match up with clemency lol
John Wu As a PLD I've soloed yojimbo in kugane castle... PLD can't solo this my ass.
there's so much wasted screen space on the corners and edges of your ui
it makes me die a little inside
I'm more trigger by visible unusued spots on the bar 7 and the fact that he didn't even bother to try and line it up with his job gauge in symmetrical level.
It looks like a PS4 version, and judging from the spaces on the edges, he's using a TV.
ウィーアブー I play on PS4 and have all my HUD pushed to the edges to have my visible space.
Most videos I see of ps4 players use default HUD and I always wonder why this is. There is a LOT of customization that can be done.
ウィーアブー I play on ps4 and a TV and by ui doesn't look nearly this horrible lol. I minimized everything pushed it all to the corners to maximize space.

you know a guy is a weeb when is name is weebo written in Japanese...
Warrior was way way way OP in heavensward and deserved to be nerfed badly. Stormblood 4.0 may have gone slightly too far but the fact is it was previously way too good.
It's still good now. I'm actually switching tank mains from PLD to WAR because I got bored.
wdym a pally wouldn't be able to do that lol a pally would prob replace the healer for 3 dps and keep all of them alive even if they eat all the aoe lol
i actually did this fight yesterday with my paladin. Also healing a dps while doing it. Was fun :D
That bard...
Why are people complaining about random shit. He beat it gg
This boss requires no tank healing at all though.
I remember doing this on PLD same amount of % and even faster
that was cool as fuck
Died 2002 I think he did fine tbh
Died 2002 dude... will it kill you to be nice 😧
A novice that solod the second half of the boss while everyone else was dead. Could it have been cleaner and done faster. Maybe. But it's funny how he did that and no one is harping on the rest of the party that couldn't avoid slow and simple mechanics and failed
bloodbath woulda been a lot easier lol
Drk can do that too 😮
Lol same thing happened to me on DRK
gets nerfed to high hell, still fucking man mode job. XD
Please don't talk about the PLD if you don't know what the PLD is .. because PLD can do more than this
buh isnt wars self sustainability worse than plds now fcking sb ;-;
Not to be a dick, but not try shaving down the last 30% off Ivon solo.
Clemency, Blackest Night, bam
1. it's a boss that barely attacks you, 2. a paladin would have done it faster and kept his teammate alive. now come t omorow that might change with the nerfs and buffs
You couldve swap back and forth between defiance and deliverance remember no penalty !
Yea there was, this was posted a week after the actual release so there was the 50% penalty at the time.
LoL, this is the first boss from Final fantasy 7, fun how they reuses the bosses :)
Swordkiller Yes, it is fun. That's part of the appeal; I'm glad you agree(?)
They use alot of the old bosses and enemies.I honestly think its a great thing to do in this game so you don't have to turn on your older ff games to see the old bosses,you can fight them here.can't say the same for WoW especially its story that is the equivalent of the game "Destinys" story
you realize a pally can heal right? not just himself, but others.
Gg
lol nice try, but pallys are best tanks now
No no no, your doing it all wrong. You're supposed to give up immediately and run to the forums, complaining that SE ruined the class by taking away it's top damage and sustain, making it unplayable. So when I see any more warriors complaining, I'll forward them to this video.
But you're wrong about Paladin not being able to do that, lol. We get spammable Clemency. As awesome as IB/Equilibrium is, Clemency>>>>>>>>IB/Equilibrium. Solo the final 20% of Zenos and then you may be better than a PLD in solo content! But I'll admit, your damage is far better during solo than a PLD cause your heals are built right into your DPS.
Joshua W delete inner release. need a trait that halves all beast gage costs. pld got that trait for mp at 64. course the world's not fair.
Noone who complains ever said that Warrior isn't solid if you stay in defiance mate. It still shits on the other tanks when it comes to cooldown synergy as long as you don't go into deliverance and, personally, i believe it is the most fun and challenging to play in Stormblood, but even so it still has issues from the min/max and hardcore perspectives. Or even in large dungeon pulls(not bosses) the lack of AoE HP sustain lowers survival rates due to the way defiance works, but that's mostly an issue healers have to deal with.
Not to mention Pally's "requiescat" insta-attack that increases healing + Divine Veil. Throw in a cover for the sam and that lb would've gone off, defense buff + intervention and this would've been an easy win.
And you know what a Pally would've said? "Phew, looks like *we* managed to get through that one, good job guys!"
Still, kudos on solo-ing a boss. No kudos for shitting on other tanks because you pulled a win out of your ass.
Pld can most definitely do that. Clemency is ridiculous
What’s special about this? I could make Ramen while doing this on my PLD. Would never come that close to dying.
eh id still chose pld or drk over this stinky ass axe dude, swords ftw even if it was the weakest job
Boss would have been dead already if you were in dps stance and not wasting 36 GCDs baiting those AOEs....
People who know how to tank and want to hold aggro against actually competent dps use something called tank stance, or Defiance.
One day you won't be bad, today's not that day.
ZeeHero lol keep telling yourself that. You have an enmity combo for a reason, you have a tank stance for a reason.... Get a lot of aggro, then start dpsing... If a DPS has 99% of the aggro when a boss dies, you still did your job as a tank.
This is the 1st thing I noticed. I always just sidestep that shit
Benjamin Ciervo nah he would have been dead if he was ...
Posts video soloing the easiest boss to solo in the whole game. Grats. A dps could solo this boss.
Try doing that on raids xD
no deliverance ??? this video should named "this is why i am a fail warrior"
x_ChRoMeZz_- not just that, he let his eye fell off for most of the time, result in lower dps and less self healing
incorrect.
Less dmg, maybe, id have to do the math of how much innerbeast would be doing with eye up, and how much longer it would take to build up to innerbeast.
But more self healing? nope.
You get to innerbeast quicker w/o going into eye, and path heals you.
Essentially 2 paths heals more than 1 path with eye on them.
200% vs 110% (more accurately 4 paths = 400% vs 3 paths and an eye for 330%, so a difference of 70% less healed)
Though people arguing if deliverance would have been better, when they cant use the potent healing of inner beast is questionable at best.
if anything, his lack of using CDs to lower dmg was more noticeable imo.
Had reprisal up the whole fight. Would have been better used on some auto attack than never used at all.
dude he soloed the boss isn't that enough? this is why people don't want to tank in ffxiv. it's never good enough
this video should be named "why you shouldn't play war in stormblood". and honestly I think it would have been faster to let it kill you and come back with full party. I clicked this video expecting 6 fell cleaves and I get this?!?!
Killer Kash I was honestly waiting for 6 fel cleaves the whole video but I kinda lost hope when I noticed tank stance still on and him baiting those aoes to the wall
a good drk and pld can do the same thing warrior is just easy mode op job not player.
Hate to burst your bubble, but both Pld and Drk could have done that. Pld would have done it easily, and probably have kept at least the samurai alive way longer. Drk would have more difficulty, but would have been able to survive as well.
Paladin could have soloed it and, even better, kept the other dps alive. :)
Took you 3 minutes to use your first infuriate, you also forgot to unchained and all the times you went to the edges to bait the aoe u could have done a full storm's path combo on the boss, but yeah, WAR is so weak now, square pls buff, and nerf PLD too [+sarcasm]
your opener gave me cancer. ive had this exact scenario happen to me with my war. You should rly drop that defiance more.
all that running around wasting gcds is what killed you guys. if you would have been in deliverance FC the shit out of it that thing wouldve died b4 your sam did.
even more impressive before Raw Intuition gained on hit heals
