That's only if you don't play tank. If you do, then the others will provoke the boss off you and cleave everyone. And if you leave it to them they'll immediately die somehow.
I was always tanking in 24 mans but i slowly but surely got bored of someone trying to wrestle aggro away from me. So now my mantra is: You want it,all yours mate. I now only provoke if someone other than a tank pulls and no one takes it. But the moment someone provokes,i switch stance and watch from the sidelines until adds phase.
Fun fact, as you pick up gunbreaker you'll have 10 fingers, the longer you keep playing the more fingers you'll start to grow, im up to 14 fingers already!
I had such a hard time getting a feel for Gunbreaker until I realized that I simply don't have enough hotkeys for the continuation combo. So I moved it to a hotbar with no keys and I click through it. Fun factor increased by 200% and now I don't feel like I need more fingers!
Yep. "This healer is not going to top me up for the next aoe after this unavoidable dmg I took from having to do some target player mechanic. Time to tank my dps for a shield"
Correct me if Im wrong but doesn't blue mage take enemies abilities and use it for their own? That's what they did in the older final fantasies as far as I know anyway. Edit: I also haven't had the chance to play final fantasy 14 yet so I have no idea what's going on in half the videos I watch lmao. I just see pretty colors and click.
@@youfailed3089 Yeah, that's what Blue Mage does here too... the big issue is that their level cap is lower than everyone else (20 whole levels lower!) and they can't sign up for the dungeon matchmaking service. Part of the reason they work like this is due to that main gimmick you mentioned, and how it doesn't mesh with the way other classes work. All level 50 Monks/Samurai/Scholar/etc. have the same spells and abilities each level, so it all comes down to player skill. BLU doesn't, as they don't get anything from their levels, you have to get all their abilities from enemies. So a level 10 Blue Mage can have 40 spells, and a level 60 one can have 10. It fundamentally breaks the games balancing... which takes us to why Blue Mage isn't talked about at all. Their skill sets don't synergize with each other and therefore your "rotation" is very basic, doesn't have any meters or stacks to keep up with, it's just buff up, shoot your shot, and don't get hit. Combine that with a fairly low damage ceiling and it's just a lot of work for not much payoff.
Its not optimal im sure, but i tend to use its shield ability whenever i have to switch targets so i can get some damage resistance and then switch back to one of the other two.
I use titan during in between when a boss about to cinematic me into oblivion For some reason I had moment when I actually survive thanks to the tiny puny shield
also, Living Dead is fixed by healing FOR your full hp amount, not TO your full hp. means you don't have to worry about healing the damage taken on top of the health already lost, you know?

Maybe just my take, but monk doesn’t really have two separate combos; you can use either of the two abilities available at that particular form (ignoring the AoE skills). You determine which to pick based on consuming/building the Leaden Fist buff, Twin Snakes damage buff uptime, and Demolish DoT; the last two are on different timers so there’s not a set combo order.

This video is so underrated. Equally well made to entertain and give a very quick and concise overview on what a new player can expect from their class.

Thank you very much for making this updated version -- it'll be a boon to players old and new, I'm sure.
I mean one of the funnest parts of playing melees is optimizing around boss mechanics. It’s definitely a great expression of improvement and skill and I don’t understand why people would want to make the game have a smaller skill ceiling.
"Blue Mage! They have the ability to copy monster moves! They're capped at level 50! The only ability you'll use is Self-Destruct to play dead in towns."
"We've got Cure 1 and Cure 2 for single target heals" Sssshhhh! Don't remind people Cure 1 exists!! We all know WHM is actually a DPS Job first and a healing Job every OGCD.
I once had a scholar yell at me during a 24 man raid for casting the level appropriate stone variant. Though that was the only spell I was hard casting most of the time because my OGCD and instant cast heals were enough to keep the party healthy. Honestly, did they think they would be able to stand around and do nothing with a full mana bar most of the time if I wasn't helping? And where did they think those regen buffs on everyone came from?
@@duskblade1119 I meet a lot of weird people like that. Like I'm a SCH main and I'd tell tanks ahead of time that if they get low, don't panic because I can just Lustrate and get them back up np but nope, how dare the SCH prioritize making the run go faster instead of filling a steady health bar on trash mobs. If we had official DPS/HPS meters, it'd clear out a lot of confusion.
Yeah MCH with high ping back when all your damage came with wildfire made the job pretty much unplayable at a high level if you couldn’t get two abilities off between your GCD consistently.
You missed the most crucial part of Dark Knight and Warrior: they always argue over Inner Release+Fell Cleave and Delerium+Bloodspiller, and they always argue that theirs is better.
I remember one quest where they need to hurry to get someone to a healer, and I'm just like *whistles, puts hands in pocket and casually starts to walk away*
Shadowbringers did streamline a lot of jobs. I still remember logging for the first time and half of my skill bar was grey. Goodbye cleric stance ;( never forget
I mean they kind of have to. Since they can't just add 10 levels and 5 new buttons each expansion. Since people only have 5 fingers and one hand on the mouse.
"You might have to devote an extra brain cell to remember what ninjutsu does what." Seriously. I love playing as a ninja, but if I play another class for too long, I need to practice each ninjutsu before I dare to into the duty finder.
Lol this kind of feels like when you have an assignment due for class and you’re just trying to get through it as fast as possible, and I loved every second of it!
With all the intricate knowledge you have on each job, you should come out with a tier list on how complicated each job is to use so players can have an informed jumping off point from the start and work up to the more difficult ones to play. Thanks for all your work on these videos!
Everytime someone asks me about "which jobs should I use?" I first tell them to watch this video, and then proceeds to tell them to try them all and have fun with it. That is how I started to love tanking btw
For all my life, I’ve been Paladin-the big daddy of the party keepin my kids safe. But now... i want a shooty boom-boom class too. Here I come Gunbreaker.
I've actually just started to learn Paladin because I wanted to finish the 4 Cardinal Virtues and honestly I am terrified of being a tank but it hasn't been so bad so far.
Good stuff, Larry. Your previous video really helped me getting into the game back around the ShB launch. I'm glad that I have a new beginner's video to use in trying to drag my friends into the game.
Its funny because statistically SCH has the worst DPS of all the healers under the current balance. AST has the overall highest DPS even before you take the damage buff from the cards in to effect.
it makes me so happy you did an update 😭 i watched the first one a little too late but it still managed to give me a basic idea of the jobs so thank you
Nice video and a good summary of each individual job. Two things to correct though. 1: The Paladins heavy hitting attack than you can use 3 times in a row is Atonement, not Royal Authority. Royal Authority is the regular combo finisher that allows you to use Atonement three times. 2: While the Red Mage has close range Melee attacks, they still actually deal Magical damage, not Physical.
Lol I used to watch my mom play and say the same thing. Eventually she got me to play it and now we play together as DPS. We even got a house together but it got destroyed. So now I'm saving up to get a new one. So far I have 1.3 mil
OMG LARRY TY FOR THIS VIDEO! This is what helped me pick a job when I was thinking of playing FFXIV, and was part of what convinced me to get back into the game.
2:01 Not sure if it was changed after this video but it's not heal you up to full health as of 5.5, it's heal you up to the equivalent of your full health i.e. healer has to send the same amount of hit points as the tank's full HP, in this case 123,720hp. It's so if the tank keeps taking damage they don't need to reach full hp, just sent that many points
A Larryzaur video!! :o Extra advice: If you're a WHM, please remember your regens. I dunno what's going on lately, but at least on the Aether data server, there have been a slew of WHMs not using regen spells on the party...and some not using them on the tank. In Ex roulette. Level 80, as one WHM to another (though my main is RDM now and secondary WHM)...please use your regens. PLEASE. Was in one dungeon (in the lv.80 ex roulette) where the WHM went the entire dungeon without using a single regen spell. As RDM, I was put through the paces raising the other dps and tossing out heals on the tank (and not even a single comm...boo). Also, I totally might have gotten distracted at 13:50 by the ffxiv remix of Weight of the World. I loved that song in the raid before I learned about what Nier Automata was all about...and now I like it more. XD (still not sure how to pronounce "automata", though)
Meanwhile, blue mage: Amazing when equipped with the full array of skills - able to be a medic, tank, or DPS.... but you can't use it for anything helpful unless you start a cult of blue mages or a pyramid scheme to draw in noobs.
@@alanhegewisch4486 Quoting the official site: A so-called mage of rather questionable character claims to have mastered an outlandish form of spellcasting that resembles neither black nor white magic during his voyage to the New World. Allegedly, anyone who purchases one of his soul crystals can learn to mimic the aetherial magicks of wild creatures. But can he be trusted, or is he merely a con artist looking to make a quick gil?
Damn Larry, beat me to it. I wanted to make a video on the jobs as a basic introduction, and you've already made a better one than your last one you did. Always love your style of comedy, even if it's also informative.
I'm still a new player (less than a year) and I was terrified of tanking until picking up GNB. I love it so much, it was one of the first jobs I got to 80. It really is the tank that plays like a dps!
As a blue mage, i'm just going to sit in a corner and hope one day i'll be a proper job that can play with the rest of the class, instead of just the special needs kids.
Jesus Christ your first vid got send to me by a friend which got me into ff 14 and now I'm watching this updated version and know like 3/4 of the classes mechanics at the top of my head. Great vid. Keep it up Dragon storm.

I played as WHM for the msq, so of course whenever anyone was injured or dying my character just blinks at them like wtf do you want me to do.
I remember one quest where they need to hurry to get someone to a healer, and I'm just like *whistles, puts hands in pocket and casually starts to walk away*
@@BrightNeonBrilliancy
NPC: _dies_
WHM Player: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?!
"And Titan for ehhhh...?"
Finally someone said it
This almost gave me the push I need to go back and finish the post-ARR grind and get into Heavensward for the extra classes.
Hugs from WoW community.
I’ll hug you back
Actually a lot of people are leaving from WoW and coming to FF. Hope that Blizzard will get its shit together sometime...
We need an endwalker version Larry
wow i got lucky with the timing on this one, nice
“He uses a big sword. Use this class if you wanna use a big ass sword” hmm, informative LMAO
MCH: haha hypercharge go BRRRRRRRRR
Shadowbringers did streamline a lot of jobs. I still remember logging for the first time and half of my skill bar was grey. Goodbye cleric stance ;( never forget
Did they compensate somehow to still do deeps?
I mean they kind of have to. Since they can't just add 10 levels and 5 new buttons each expansion. Since people only have 5 fingers and one hand on the mouse.
@@MeldinX2 But Cleric stance!!!!!
I'm a white mage main. And with the streamline, sure I can heal more, but I feel that I have fewer things to do now.
I’m gonna play Dark Knight because I love berserk
Are you gonna do this for jobs in Endwalker.
One of the most important ff14 videos of all time. So fun to watch.
are we gonna get one of these for Endwalker any time soon?
I've been gone for over a year and this is EXACTLY what I needed to watch THANK YOU
"You might have to devote an extra brain cell to remember what ninjutsu does what."
Seriously. I love playing as a ninja, but if I play another class for too long, I need to practice each ninjutsu before I dare to into the duty finder.
I literally never moved my mudra binds since lvl50, cuz if I do, it's always rabbit time.
I always like watching these videos because i learn about jobs I haven’t played before and seeing what other rotations is like is interesting
Lol this kind of feels like when you have an assignment due for class and you’re just trying to get through it as fast as possible, and I loved every second of it!
With all the intricate knowledge you have on each job, you should come out with a tier list on how complicated each job is to use so players can have an informed jumping off point from the start and work up to the more difficult ones to play. Thanks for all your work on these videos!
ok but where the ENDWALKER edition?
Super happy you did an updated one! I like sharing these with my friends when they get into the game!
Everytime someone asks me about "which jobs should I use?" I first tell them to watch this video, and then proceeds to tell them to try them all and have fun with it. That is how I started to love tanking btw
This is more helpful than any of the ‘serious’ videos I’ve seen. Your Basically series is just perfect!!
For all my life, I’ve been Paladin-the big daddy of the party keepin my kids safe. But now... i want a shooty boom-boom class too.
Here I come Gunbreaker.
This is a very well produced video. Your knowledge of the game is vast to know all the skills for each class. Wow. Nicely done. Very informative.
I've actually just started to learn Paladin because I wanted to finish the 4 Cardinal Virtues and honestly I am terrified of being a tank but it hasn't been so bad so far.
Tanking is only terrifying when your healer is dead and/or bad
@@FrostiOrca I''ll keep that in mind since I'm a healer main lol
@Justin B Well it'll be awhile before I reach any of the high end content so hopefully I'll become a great tank by then.
A tank that knows they can trust their healer can feel nearly invincible, because they are. Having that trust is another thing.
I'm terrified as healer. Tank is ok-ish
I don’t even play this game but yet I still watched the whole video simply because the narrative was so good.
oh hi im one of those ranged ones that doesnt really like the new guy
Good stuff, Larry. Your previous video really helped me getting into the game back around the ShB launch. I'm glad that I have a new beginner's video to use in trying to drag my friends into the game.
Larry, you made a mistake. The only roles in the game are Blue DPS, Red DPS, and Green DPS. Shameful. :
Everytime I hear dark knight attacks I need to check my wrist to see if they haven't cut themselves.
... Is their initials on your friends account on specifically so it reads as PeePee?
no that's mine 8D
I shoulda guessed that lol...
Your videos actually helped me make sense of so many jobs in this game, I love how you explain things!
To Red mage: Thank you, handstand hedgehog head white mage.
This is my first time getting into the ff series, amazing informative content, thanks for the humorous addition to everything!
SCH: I'm gonna ignore my healer role and get max DPS
SCH moments later: dead
Its funny because statistically SCH has the worst DPS of all the healers under the current balance. AST has the overall highest DPS even before you take the damage buff from the cards in to effect.
4 years later and this video still desribes the jobs perfectly.
" Hit me Hit me I can take it " I swear this makes me think of kevin Hart saying this to The Rock one day 😂
it makes me so happy you did an update 😭 i watched the first one a little too late but it still managed to give me a basic idea of the jobs so thank you
ACTUALLY Monk gets a 3rd "I don't need to do positional's" Move :D Riddle of Earth FTW.
Positional? What the dark fuck is that? *spamming edge of shadow*
Nice video and a good summary of each individual job. Two things to correct though. 1: The Paladins heavy hitting attack than you can use 3 times in a row is Atonement, not Royal Authority. Royal Authority is the regular combo finisher that allows you to use Atonement three times. 2: While the Red Mage has close range Melee attacks, they still actually deal Magical damage, not Physical.
My mom was watching this with me and she thinks I'm a goddamn genius for playing this game she says it sounds so complex and confusing
haha
Lol I used to watch my mom play and say the same thing. Eventually she got me to play it and now we play together as DPS. We even got a house together but it got destroyed. So now I'm saving up to get a new one. So far I have 1.3 mil
Thank you for showing what the classes actually look like when played
Does it count if I already beat shb with smn?
yes and also good choice
OMG LARRY TY FOR THIS VIDEO! This is what helped me pick a job when I was thinking of playing FFXIV, and was part of what convinced me to get back into the game.
please dont just casually play the amarot dungeon theme in the background of the video im having flashbacks
2:01 Not sure if it was changed after this video but it's not heal you up to full health as of 5.5, it's heal you up to the equivalent of your full health i.e. healer has to send the same amount of hit points as the tank's full HP, in this case 123,720hp. It's so if the tank keeps taking damage they don't need to reach full hp, just sent that many points
You forgot to mention whm's benediction. Probably one of the best reasons to play whm
Also holy stun is op as well
I love how you used the amaurot dungeon theme, literally my favorite theme in the game
God, I'm worried about the next expansion. They did Shadowbringers so well, that I don't think they can do any better.
A Larryzaur video!! :o
Extra advice: If you're a WHM, please remember your regens. I dunno what's going on lately, but at least on the Aether data server, there have been a slew of WHMs not using regen spells on the party...and some not using them on the tank. In Ex roulette. Level 80, as one WHM to another (though my main is RDM now and secondary WHM)...please use your regens. PLEASE.
Was in one dungeon (in the lv.80 ex roulette) where the WHM went the entire dungeon without using a single regen spell. As RDM, I was put through the paces raising the other dps and tossing out heals on the tank (and not even a single comm...boo).
Also, I totally might have gotten distracted at 13:50 by the ffxiv remix of Weight of the World. I loved that song in the raid before I learned about what Nier Automata was all about...and now I like it more. XD
(still not sure how to pronounce "automata", though)
Meanwhile, blue mage: Amazing when equipped with the full array of skills - able to be a medic, tank, or DPS.... but you can't use it for anything helpful unless you start a cult of blue mages or a pyramid scheme to draw in noobs.
The BLU storyline makes so much sense now!
@@alanhegewisch4486
Quoting the official site:
A so-called mage of rather questionable character claims to have mastered an outlandish form of spellcasting that resembles neither black nor white magic during his voyage to the New World. Allegedly, anyone who purchases one of his soul crystals can learn to mimic the aetherial magicks of wild creatures. But can he be trusted, or is he merely a con artist looking to make a quick gil?
Damn Larry, beat me to it. I wanted to make a video on the jobs as a basic introduction, and you've already made a better one than your last one you did. Always love your style of comedy, even if it's also informative.
"be nice to healers or else" *YOINK*
I'm still a new player (less than a year) and I was terrified of tanking until picking up GNB. I love it so much, it was one of the first jobs I got to 80. It really is the tank that plays like a dps!
Fastest time I clicked on something
Same!
So to this day the original video is one of my top 10 favorites videos on RUclips. And now there is an updated video sooo I'm hype.
As a blue mage, i'm just going to sit in a corner and hope one day i'll be a proper job that can play with the rest of the class, instead of just the special needs kids.
That will never happen.
Don't worry and have hope
@@noddlefoodle5691 Why try to give him hope? It's never going to happen.
I really enjoy blue mage but like since I can't queue for dungeons with it, leveling is hell and i have to run them solo to get the abilities :(
that’s really not funny. :/
Jesus Christ your first vid got send to me by a friend which got me into ff 14 and now I'm watching this updated version and know like 3/4 of the classes mechanics at the top of my head. Great vid. Keep it up Dragon storm.
