I assumed it just used Death Power on Players' Damage. Like "I will KILL your wounds, to bring back your Health!" "But Reaper-san that's not how healing works! That's not how ANY of this works!!"
@@TheAyanamiRei My headcanon is that they steal time from the universe with their Crest of Time and that allows regeneration through temporal reversion.
Healers -- "This is the perfect roll for you if the idea of trying a Carolina Reaper fills you with ecstasy or if your main goal in life is to solve everyone elses problems but never your own." I have never felt so personally attacked in a video before.
The speeded up jump animations have changed the feel of playing Dragoon from sleepwalking to having ADHD. Before when I pressed the jump button I could go make myself a cup of tea and come back by the time the animation sequence was over. Now my every other attack is a jump since you can just throw one in while your next combo attack is still in gcd.
Really? Last I checked the few jumps we have all have more cooldiwn than using combos takes. Unless there's a new post-60 Jump skill that doesn't have much cooldown that I don't know about.
For those coming from WoW or other games where there are "wrong job" Fear not, FF14 balance is overall very good and, especially with the last change from this patch which solved a few "annoying quirk" a few jobs had. Every content, can be cleared with any mix of job provided you have one of each role, tank, heal, melee, range, caster. Even healer can actually go as double shield or double pure and clear everything, beside, maybe, ultimate. The only thing that should be relevant in your choosing of a job is your enjoyement. If you play well, you will never be a burden to your team. Similarly no job will compensate your lack of skill. Every jobs are within a few % of each others, and while it is true that a "meta comp" would perform better than one with all the "worst" of each role. That would actually end up being a difference of only a few percent. That can be a deal breaker if you aim for week 1 clear (like world race basically), but in general, a few pieces of gear will offset that easily. Follow your dream, listen to your heart, and do your best. Source: myself, triple legend with almost every weird comp you could dream off because I value the enjoyement of my team.
I have all of the jobs outside the healers at least level 80 at this point (healing really just doesn't interest me so I have no idea when or if I'll level them) and I always return to my Red Mage. All of the classes have fantastic animations, but none are nearly as stylish as Red Mage. I get to flip flop in and out of danger like a melee DPS (specifically Dragoon), I get to cast spells that aren't just really big ass explosions again and again and again (looking at you, Black Mage, who has 85% of their casts some form of explosion), and I also bring quite a bit of party utility. Even when Red Mage was lower on the damage totem, that's the sole job I always gravitate back to.
Machinist is considered the worst class and as a MCH I can say I've actually been top of the enmity list quite a bit. The only place you'd have trouble is high end content and that's more due to the community gatekeeping any MCH players from the raids because of it's lower DPS (it's not actually that much lower and within an understandable statistical range at worst it'll be a little more difficult for High End)
I was going through an identity crisis after leveling half my jobs to 90 and I wasn't sure what to play. Thank you so much for this video! I'm even more conflicted now.
I was like you and tbh I think my issue was moreso that I just don't like how the pve in this game is set up all that much. I ended up really liking the new 6.1 pvp though, and play it a ton. So what I've ended up doing is just picking my favorite class in pvp and then carrying that over to pve. Not sure if that's applicable at all to you but it's helped me.
Tanking in this game is incredibly easy. If you're just starting to tank, give it a month or two and you'll start ignoring mechanics in dungeons to get vuln ups so you can *feel something.*
Tanking used to be bigger challenge, when you had to pay attention to hate list. Not just for tanks. It still posible to steal tank agro, if hes undergeared and not utilizing his AoE, but its uncommon.
I heard kaiten mentioned and I blacked out, only coming to realizing my room was torn apart. Posters on the floor, keyboard smashed, bed torn to shreds. Tears covered every inch of the scene, and, as I gained consciousness, the depression that square enix envoked upon me came rushing back, only to leave me sobbing quietly on the ground. A broken, empty husk. So yeah, great video as always Lucy!
For those new or who might want to know what the deal with that "last class" is at 21:17. It's Blue Mage(BLU)! A Caster DPS that can't do content that exceeds lvl70 (At current that's any content from Shadowbringers and Endwalker) or is designated as a "roulette", can only sign up for content with a pre-made party or solo, doesn't learn it's skills through leveling, and is a master class at old content it has access to and content in the open world(they also can't access PVP and a few other things like deep dungeons, basically, if it would require match making, it's a no go for BLU). It's rotation is simple and has quite a bit of DPS when it's rotation is needed. It involves using many stacking buffs and oGCDs at once as well as debuffs on the enemy to maximize damage and then entering a burst phase of high damage moves, and then entering a lower damage "cool down" phase until you can do it again. I say when it's needed for the rotation because the biggest draw of BLU as a class it's ability to insta kill trash enemies with little difficulty. Legitimately it's two button presses maybe one and an entire pack of enemies dies. But beware! These cheap tactics don't work on mightier foes such as some bosses and mid tier enemies. If you want the powerful skills such foes can provide you then your best come prepared! All this how ever is something you will have to work for, as BLU learns it's spells from killing the enemies that have recently used them (and a few unlocked freebies that are gotten for unlocking the class and acquiring a certain amount of achievements like learning a few skills ECT.). Which enemies? Well you gotta kill em and find out!(or look up a list of what gives what on the internet and go through it like a check list, that's okay too!) It's also has it's own set of mini-game repeatable solo instances called "The Masked Carnivale" that add new twists and challenges to the combat system and gives tomestones and other goodies as well al a leader board of the weekly top scores by other player to try and beat. They are the only class that can replace the Healer and tank rolls fully for prolonged periods of time, even whole dungeons and trials(IF you have the right skills learned)! Their aesthetic is best described as "masked stage magician who does daring tricks". Which is appropriate as their biggest tricks are clearing old dungeons on their own and making FATES disappear! It becomes unlock-able after the MSQ for the base game has been completed (you will have seen the credits or bought a skip to an expansion) if you have a class at LVL50, and starts at LVL1. I suggest looking for leveling guides, but all the normal methods of leveling (save those that require you be randomly matched with other people through duty finder) are available. They also get a BOOST to EXP from normal (no fate or guild leves) enemies. I recommend picking it up and unlocking everything on it (it will take you about in afternoon or two in my experience) if you ever need to grind something from the stormsblood expansions or older and want a fresher (and maybe shorter) time of it. ESPECIALLY if you have 4-8 friends willing to help you out with leveling and skill gets. Also if you really like the games solo instance but wished they were more complicated mechanically or re-playable. Tips from an old BLU: if you have the maximum people in your party for an instance, you can "sync" (lowering your level to the dungeons) it and it greatly ups the chance of getting the skill. Also if you have many BLUs in your party trying to get a spell, if one BLU gets it, they ALL get it provided they were alive when the enemy died, were on BLU, and they had attacked the enemy a decent amount of times (4-10).
I prefer ammonia smelling salts with my GNB sessions but yeah. It's like snorting Gfuel and everything is a michael bay movie. We're actually just a black mage a machinist and a samurai all stacked together in one of our dozens of semi-edgy blue trenchcoats.
"Your main goal in life is to solve everyone else's problems, but never your own." ... Yea... you know, I might just be a healer main... well, at least I'll finally start getting commends in roulettes
Patpat little sprout, the party and tank do commend, when you whip them hard instead. Go for the most massive pulls and your kit will carry you through. And just one small piece of advice, scholar in Endwalker can win without a tank. Heal without a care, cause nobody would dare cross you. Use a chain if you have to! And finally for your best tool, don't forget to rescue the fools.
I keep hearing "It has a nacho progression of ramping up the difficulty bit by bit" in regards to Dragoon as a starting job And I still think it makes sense because nachos start easy to eat and slowly get messier.
I love the DRK changes. makes tanking fun again and living dead feels so good with that fat 2000 cure potency. heres my own personal tip for ppl choosing jobs. be a black mage bc nothing as stupid as the kaiten removal will happen to the job bc yoshi p plays it. it may be a bit difficult in certain content but its worth the job stability you wouldnt find in 2020 america
I started the game dual BLM/WHM and honestly, Black Mage spoiled me. Every time I try another class, I’m like “nice appetizers, so where’s the entrée? oh that… was the entrée? ah”
Also black mage is pretty fun to level up. So far mine is level 60, but your rotation updates pretty often on the way Other jobs usually add things on top of it, but black mage adds things *and* changes the rotation. Black mage is cool.
@@Rytom it’s like a remodel every 10 levels. You’re not just getting new marble countertops, you’re getting the whole kitchen expanded by knocking out the back wall
I love my fellow sprouts. Whenever I see one attuning to the aetheryte in Limsa or Gridana I always throw flowers at them and cheer. Welcome to FFXIV! We have fun here! Nothing is mandatory and everything is encouraged.
Your defense of DRG's unfair reputation as a floor tank was a Stardiver into my Dragoon Main heart. I've tried to be strong and laugh it off all this time, but at last... Someone speaks up against this injustice. Bless you, Lucy.
To be fair, I think DRG's 'tanking' reputation really stems back from very early FFXI, where SE wasted it's 2 hour ability on its Wyvern summon, which was fixed later, but it and a case of armor not being hard enough for heavy damage mitigation, and not enough evasion to avoid taking the hits in the first place, and the rep carried over.
I did the MSQ as a Dancer, and now that I am just tooling around, I think in might be time to go summoner. Simple gameplay makes my little brain happy. :3
They truly did SAM dirty. Here's hoping the open revolt on the OF forces a reversion. Tenka didn't even get the auto-crit treatment; the JP community memes that Tenka "comes out of the butt" because of the animation, but I think it's appropriate for it's damage too, since it hits about as hard as a wet fart now.
@@jelle_tendon I mean nowadays Black Mage has a _lot_ of movement options. Haha double Triplecast and double Sharpcast -> Thundercloud/Fire III go brrt.
I didnt notice it at first, but watching that sprout sit down to watch your Sage rotation reminded me so much of why i got into Ninja. Just some random guy practicing his rotations on a training dummy. My nooby conjurer self took one look at all the cool stuff and said "That's rad! I wanna do that!"
Phew. I'm glad to learn that my choice of dragoon when I first started playing wasn't cringe. Thanks Lucy! Bonus of dragoon is that the ishgard storyline is really awesome when you've done the job quests leading up to it!
I went the crazy route of leveling everything from the start on my main, thus it's always fun that I can switch to a class I feel suits the story better at the time. I loved that I felt like Bros with Estein as the two Azure Dragoons and made the fights with Nidhogg all that much more enjoyable. With Stormblood I'm leaning more for Monk which would probably be my main class as it's my favorite so far, but also ding Sam and Ninja during the story, plus I like having ninja for when I don't wanna deal with trash mobs in my way, just sneak pass annoying stuff XD
So i just downloaded the trial on my PS5 as I've been looking for a good MMORPG that actually works on console for a while. This led me to go down the RUclips rabbit hole, which (inevitably) led me to you. You're explanation is amazing and really helps! However! I struggle to pay attention to the actual content because of a few things: 1. You're comments have me cracking up! 2. You go through so much so fast 3. You're voice mixed with the language you use surprises the hell out of me! (Not complaining, it just throws me off guard lol)
I just started today and this is the second video I’ve watched from you all I’d like to say is thanks for making me laugh and for your funny teaching method’s
Fun breakdown of the classes. I just started the gane this month and am looking for a tank class to learn next. The gunbreaker looks like a lot of fun!
WHM: Glare III/Holy III, Dia, Assize, Afflatus Misery SCH: Broil IV/Art Of War, Biolysis, Energy Drain, Ruin II AST: Fall Malefic/Gravity II, Combust, Lord of Crowns, Earthly Star SGE: Dosis III/Dyskrasia, Eukrasian Dosis III, Phlegma III, Toxikon II Sage doesn't have "More DPS options" . It's the same as the rest. Each healer has 1 Nuke, 1 DoT, 1 AoE Nuke and some few and between abilities with long CDs that they can use for a very slim DPS gain under very convoluted situations (Like boss phase changes). Calling the 1 button nuke spam of healers a "rotation" is a bit of a stretch.
unless you have vulnerability stacks or are hit with a damage down debuff during walking dead, in which case you are screwed or have to pray that your healer can do something about it
@@cap9753 vulnerability stacks would be fine as you need to heal the amount of your maximum hp, not up to full hp. though yes, damage down would be detrimental. at least the dark knight can help the healers this time
@@cap9753 Does damage down affect your healing potency? Because Living Dead gives flat cure potency, not lifesteal, and isn't based on damage you deal to foes.
@@ArcVaranus All you have to do is deal some damage to get a flat heal, so how much damage you actually dealt doesn't really matter, at least in terms of how much you get healed by it.
I love this Channel. I feel like if there was a big booth or stage for FF14 at E3... Lucy could probably do an hour of standup comedy just about about FF14 and have the crowd cracking up.
Thanks for this informative video, I'm finally going to try to lvl other classes and pick one out of every roll to main incase I ever need to switch to a certain roll.
@@x0xAdrianx0x I can only encourage you in the Red Mage way, doing damage and party support is great and all, but doing damage and party support with Style is better and RDM is the best in this regard xD
The whole thing about tanks is highly dependant on which tank you use. Basically, Warrior is broken OP, Gunbreaker is an undercover DPS, and PLD is only good past level 50. Low-level dungeons/trials with PLD feel so oddly unforgiving, you feel more like a DPS that just happens to have tank skills and a strand of spaghetti for a weapon. This changes instantly in the level 50+ dungeons where your sense of strength seems to ramp up very fast. All they would need to do to improve it is let us use Clemency earlier, since PLD is supposed to be a HEALING TANK...
@@wingnutmcspazatron3957 Dark is the odd one of the bunch. I've actually never touched DRK so I can only speak from the videos and posts I've seen, but it seems more situational than a normal tank.
As someone who played all the jobs to 80 in ShB for the amaro mount and then to 90 in EW because why the fsck not I already did most of the work, this is a fairly accurate overview. But I main Machinist because dakka so I might be trying to lull sprouts into false complacency.
I started CNJ and have always stuck to WHM as much as I can, but as Lucy's class video from a while back called from a mile away, RDM and the allure of real DPS and spammable heals to save myself or others from the healers allergic to cast time heals called to me too much. Kinda the same reason I have PLD as my main tank.
Glad I stumbled upon this video because I am about to play FF14 today.. I primarily play the Archer class on all games and since I like a bit of support role too, Bard it is..
That timing is way to good, i just started playing FF o.o I only really know that i want to be a healer buuuut... why does everyone and their catgirl have healing abilities, i thought we had healers for that >.
As a white mage, I came to increase my self loathing by 10%, but you didn’t point this out so I had a 5% decrease. My therapist appreciates this but I don’t. 😂 Anyway, I was wondering how you’d treat blue mage in this video. I was not disappointed. 😏
I always love seeing these types of videos. Seeing how veterans compare and contrast the jobs to each other never gets old. Thanks for this, your videos are great!
"aetherflow keeps their MP stable" Me, who has to keep galvanizing the tank because his pull was too large: *-1000 MP* *-1000 MP* *-1000 MP* *-1000 MP* edit: yes, I know there's more than using Adlo but for some reason, not having a barrier active ticks me off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
for this scenario i usually suggest using a combination of whisperin down+ fey tether (level 70 skill) + a sacred soil for 10% mit, and an excog for more wiggle room , it s a lot of passive healing and can give you some time to breathe if the tank is going auto pilot and not doing his job correctly
@@arcticjedimaster because in ShB the Fairy was realistically Only good for her skill at max level , yes embrace numerically might heal a lot but all of those heal could not make a difference if a tank survives or not , especially in ShB where a tank had 150k hp and embrace healed 3.8 k or 4k at best, in EW Is Better for the number squish
If GNB mains are the caffeine junkies, you guys are the heroine addicts. The only reason I haven't tried MCH is because I have lag issues specifically with FFXIV, and that rotation does NOT look forgiving of lag...
@@Gibby34340 It's does not...our bursts are the weakest of all classes, we only have one raid wide defense skill. And worst of all our Wildfire does less damage then Bard's regular combo. Oh and the level 90 ability isn't good.
@@andyplum4422 I've heard that MCH is the eldest sibling that got kicked to the curb while RPR is the spoiled brat who gets literally everything. Seems that MCH is getting the WHM treatment...
Thanks for making this clip. It's hard to find simple explanations of what all the jobs are about but this one does so better than any others that I have found. Your rapid fire Meme turrets made me feel like a verbal goal keeper while trying to keep up but I was laughing for most of the clip and your voice is very pleasant to listen too. Like a soothing massage to the brain :-) Did you really say that Samurai "Have the kinky gauge" ?? I must have miss heard that. Right?
Amazing video, Lucy! You put out a video that I would recommend wholeheartedly to newcomers and not keep in my backpocket once they've drunk the degenerate Kool Aid! Great change of pace and still amazing work! You've outdone yourself!
It's sad that as a SMN main I was so excited for the SMN changes, and now it's literally the least interesting class to play... New players don't let this put you off though, but as someone who loved to play summoner when it was a complicated job, its quite sad to see
11:36 I am ver-y glad you made this ver-y good guide. Also, once I get the full game and level Gunbreaker to 90 (or whatever the level cap is by the time I have a stable, constant source of income), I plan to play Red Mage because it seems ver-y ver-sitile. Ver.
Can't wait to see asmongold react to this. Wink wink wink. Thanks for the amazing content can wait to see what the amazing lucy poochy has brought us today
For NIN controller players, there is a macro you can set up for Shunkuchi that makes it so you can use your recital to aim an teleport with 1 button press. recommended for PC users as well cause it's just that quick and precise enough for the trade off
You know, You Tube recommend me Lucy around October of last year, and I've been following her since, and from day 1 I knew these were jokes and humor, a different way to approach the classic, What class should you play, it saddens me that there has to be a disclaimer. You keep doing this Lucy, don't let bitter and no fun people tell you otherwise.
I pray this game still keeps on going... So many classes to still add. Like the colored wizard upgrades and stuff, or even bring new classes in. Kinda still surprised we never got brand new classes from the crossover events... it would've been cool to have an actual Monster Hunter class that can switch up its role depending on what weapon and armor types from the MH series it has equipped.
Lucy, talk about Blue Mage! I can't wait to see what you have to say. I enjoyed unlocking the skills. Minus the primal lv 50 ones on BLU launch... 174 runs of Shiva EX...
I absolutely love your humor and love how blatantly savage yet honest you are about everything. I won't lie, I do wish that you mentioned how obnoxiously strong TBN is for DRK, and how absolutely ridiculous SGE's raidwide damage mitigations are. I feel like those two things alone are great motivations to play the classes. That being said, you are totally right about RPR being the favorited baby of the melee's. I'd say maybe 1/50 raids I get put into with a dancer do I NOT get the dance partner buff as RPR. :3 Great video, Lucy!!
The thing that helped me memorize mudras was realizing that only two factors mattered in the result: The amount of symbols, and the final symbol pressed.
Lol I remember picking THM when I first started in 2019 and it was madness since I was mainly playing solo-story or BR games. Then I got into HW as Black Mage and then stopped for a while. Got back in this year and got my character maxed to 90
Brand new to the game and thought the video was lit, went to make my character and everything was full on Crystal so I guess I have to find out how to wait in line to join a server. I'll just watch this like 5 more times to keep juices flowing, thanks!
Yes, the beginning of this video hit home. I am an "OG / Veteren" AND still know about the same amount as a sprout. This is one of the many reasons I love the new profile thingy. I can alert others that just becaise you may not see one on my name tag, I AM A SPROUT! Ty Y.P.
Sprout-ish here...I first chose the archer when I started playing this game a couple of months ago...just went through the motions of rushing to the required level to get it's next job which I assumed would be a Ranger like most fantasy based MMORPG's I've played from experience...and there's always a Ranger class from my history of playing other Final Fantasy games...and then I finally found out what the Archer turns into...let's just say being disappointed is a downright understatement... No offense meant to all you awesome bards out there and your equally awesome musical compositions and free concerts in every public area in the game...it's just that it's not what I expected...and I'm really not a fan of the playstyle...Now I've created a new account and am now happy with my Machinist rocking that red riding hood look and I now have a mantra that I say to myself to get ''in the zone'' on every dungeon run: Split Shot... Slug Shot... Clean Shot... Yes I need to say it out...lest I forget...like my name... tl;dr-before choosing a job newbies, please check out guides for a class and what they turn into and what they bring to the table and it fits your playstyle...like this video guide for instance!
So what if I enjoy having 2-3 cast bars full of abilities for each and every situation during a fight. Ast is a great class if you enjoy pure healing and want more of a challenge than flinging Glare and Dia. Rdm is all about the flair. Part of the reason I love it. The other part is I could care less for doing dps compared to having utility. Great vid Lucy.
Hahaha they all are fun. I am just going level them together but still need to decide on one to push the MSQ. For now I am just maining a FSH. So relaxing.
4:50 "Gunbreaker is great for either rabid squirrels or caffeiene addicts." rofl 9:40 Watching the cat just walk up and sit to watch the sage animations like it's a Fourth of July fireworks show is so wholesome. 17:30 I was gonna be very disappointed if you didn't bring up the dragoon backflipping meme.

Damn, those 4 seconds from 5:50-5:54 is the harshest (and most accurate) call out of my life until now. Like...that is me to a "T". Also, seeing as it took them...I think 7 years (god I hope that's a right guess) to finally fix Blood Weapon and Living Dead, I get the feeling that by like 9.2 the class will finally have actual inner synergy.

For those new or who might want to know what the deal with that "last class" is at 21:17. It's Blue Mage(BLU)! A Caster DPS that can't do content that exceeds lvl70 (At current that's any content from Shadowbringers and Endwalker) or is designated as a "roulette", can only sign up for content with a pre-made party or solo, doesn't learn it's skills through leveling, and is a master class at old content it has access to and content in the open world(they also can't access PVP and a few other things like deep dungeons, basically, if it would require match making, it's a no go for BLU). It's rotation is simple and has quite a bit of DPS when it's rotation is needed. It involves using many stacking buffs and oGCDs at once as well as debuffs on the enemy to maximize damage and then entering a burst phase of high damage moves, and then entering a lower damage "cool down" phase until you can do it again. I say when it's needed for the rotation because the biggest draw of BLU as a class it's ability to insta kill trash enemies with little difficulty. Legitimately it's two button presses maybe one and an entire pack of enemies dies. But beware! These cheap tactics don't work on mightier foes such as some bosses and mid tier enemies. If you want the powerful skills such foes can provide you then your best come prepared! All this how ever is something you will have to work for, as BLU learns it's spells from killing the enemies that have recently used them (and a few unlocked freebies that are gotten for unlocking the class and acquiring a certain amount of achievements like learning a few skills ECT.). Which enemies? Well you gotta kill em and find out!(or look up a list of what gives what on the internet and go through it like a check list, that's okay too!) It's also has it's own set of mini-game repeatable solo instances called "The Masked Carnivale" that add new twists and challenges to the combat system and gives tomestones and other goodies as well al a leader board of the weekly top scores by other player to try and beat. They are the only class that can replace the Healer and tank rolls fully for prolonged periods of time, even whole dungeons and trials(IF you have the right skills learned)! Their aesthetic is best described as "masked stage magician who does daring tricks". Which is appropriate as their biggest tricks are clearing old dungeons on their own and making FATES disappear!
It becomes unlock-able after the MSQ for the base game has been completed (you will have seen the credits or bought a skip to an expansion) if you have a class at LVL50, and starts at LVL1. I suggest looking for leveling guides, but all the normal methods of leveling (save those that require you be randomly matched with other people through duty finder) are available. They also get a BOOST to EXP from normal (no fate or guild leves) enemies.
I recommend picking it up and unlocking everything on it (it will take you about in afternoon or two in my experience) if you ever need to grind something from the stormsblood expansions or older and want a fresher (and maybe shorter) time of it. ESPECIALLY if you have 4-8 friends willing to help you out with leveling and skill gets. Also if you really like the games solo instance but wished they were more complicated mechanically or re-playable.
Tips from an old BLU: if you have the maximum people in your party for an instance, you can "sync" (lowering your level to the dungeons) it and it greatly ups the chance of getting the skill. Also if you have many BLUs in your party trying to get a spell, if one BLU gets it, they ALL get it provided they were alive when the enemy died, were on BLU, and they had attacked the enemy a decent amount of times (4-10).
Good stuff, thanks 👍
... w-why did they make a class that can't use half the pve stuff...?
As a warrior main, i was offended at you claiming we are too powerful. We are not. We need more dmg. More Heal. MORE AXE.
You're powered by healer salt. You will probably only gain power through the course of the xpac.

I love the DRK changes. makes tanking fun again and living dead feels so good with that fat 2000 cure potency. heres my own personal tip for ppl choosing jobs. be a black mage bc nothing as stupid as the kaiten removal will happen to the job bc yoshi p plays it. it may be a bit difficult in certain content but its worth the job stability you wouldnt find in 2020 america
I started the game dual BLM/WHM and honestly, Black Mage spoiled me. Every time I try another class, I’m like “nice appetizers, so where’s the entrée? oh that… was the entrée? ah”
Black Mage main. Job security for lyfe. And it slaps on PvP so much
Also black mage is pretty fun to level up. So far mine is level 60, but your rotation updates pretty often on the way
Other jobs usually add things on top of it, but black mage adds things *and* changes the rotation.
Black mage is cool.

I love my fellow sprouts. Whenever I see one attuning to the aetheryte in Limsa or Gridana I always throw flowers at them and cheer. Welcome to FFXIV! We have fun here! Nothing is mandatory and everything is encouraged.
So sad Lucy has to put a disclaimer. Your humor is genius keep it up. Great show with Mr happy also
Where can I find that show? I wanna watch it!
Ah yes what humanity has become
The "I got abused as a child" voice is fucking annoying tho.
Your defense of DRG's unfair reputation as a floor tank was a Stardiver into my Dragoon Main heart. I've tried to be strong and laugh it off all this time, but at last... Someone speaks up against this injustice. Bless you, Lucy.
To be fair, I think DRG's 'tanking' reputation really stems back from very early FFXI, where SE wasted it's 2 hour ability on its Wyvern summon, which was fixed later, but it and a case of armor not being hard enough for heavy damage mitigation, and not enough evasion to avoid taking the hits in the first place, and the rep carried over.
surprisingly informative but still has Lucy's signature humor
I don't care what job I play, I just enjoyed listening to your voice for 22 mins. Thanks for the video
This vid was great I just started playing this game and I really couldn’t find another video explains the jobs/classes this well. Thanks!!!
I did the MSQ as a Dancer, and now that I am just tooling around, I think in might be time to go summoner. Simple gameplay makes my little brain happy. :3
You're a phenomenal writer. Your dry delivery and witty jokes had me laughing the whole way through. Great job!
thank you so much!!! ;w; i'm glad you think so and that you took the time to tell me, it means a lot!
@@LucyPyre well I HATE it >:(
They truly did SAM dirty. Here's hoping the open revolt on the OF forces a reversion. Tenka didn't even get the auto-crit treatment; the JP community memes that Tenka "comes out of the butt" because of the animation, but I think it's appropriate for it's damage too, since it hits about as hard as a wet fart now.
Casters: The obvious benefit is that they dont have to be in melee range!

I main a RDM. Honestly, it really reminds me of playing a Demo Warlock during Cata back in my WoW days. Just faster paced.
Honestly this is a pretty awesome starter guide with solid high-level suggestions for what jobs people might like. Good stuff Lucy!
I didnt notice it at first, but watching that sprout sit down to watch your Sage rotation reminded me so much of why i got into Ninja. Just some random guy practicing his rotations on a training dummy. My nooby conjurer self took one look at all the cool stuff and said "That's rad! I wanna do that!"
Phew. I'm glad to learn that my choice of dragoon when I first started playing wasn't cringe. Thanks Lucy! Bonus of dragoon is that the ishgard storyline is really awesome when you've done the job quests leading up to it!
I went the crazy route of leveling everything from the start on my main, thus it's always fun that I can switch to a class I feel suits the story better at the time. I loved that I felt like Bros with Estein as the two Azure Dragoons and made the fights with Nidhogg all that much more enjoyable. With Stormblood I'm leaning more for Monk which would probably be my main class as it's my favorite so far, but also ding Sam and Ninja during the story, plus I like having ninja for when I don't wanna deal with trash mobs in my way, just sneak pass annoying stuff XD
Oh, it was 100% cringe. We've jus gotten so used to it, we don't even notice it anymore...

as someone waiting for more Endwalker content, this vid is just what i needed thank you my beloved demon
So i just downloaded the trial on my PS5 as I've been looking for a good MMORPG that actually works on console for a while. This led me to go down the RUclips rabbit hole, which (inevitably) led me to you. You're explanation is amazing and really helps! However! I struggle to pay attention to the actual content because of a few things:
1. You're comments have me cracking up!
2. You go through so much so fast
3. You're voice mixed with the language you use surprises the hell out of me! (Not complaining, it just throws me off guard lol)

I just started today and this is the second video I’ve watched from you all I’d like to say is thanks for making me laugh and for your funny teaching method’s
Fun breakdown of the classes. I just started the gane this month and am looking for a tank class to learn next. The gunbreaker looks like a lot of fun!
WHM: Glare III/Holy III, Dia, Assize, Afflatus Misery
SCH: Broil IV/Art Of War, Biolysis, Energy Drain, Ruin II
AST: Fall Malefic/Gravity II, Combust, Lord of Crowns, Earthly Star
SGE: Dosis III/Dyskrasia, Eukrasian Dosis III, Phlegma III, Toxikon II
Sage doesn't have "More DPS options" . It's the same as the rest. Each healer has 1 Nuke, 1 DoT, 1 AoE Nuke and some few and between abilities with long CDs that they can use for a very slim DPS gain under very convoluted situations (Like boss phase changes).
Calling the 1 button nuke spam of healers a "rotation" is a bit of a stretch.
DRK's invuln is actually broken now and i absolutely love it
Good. They had to endure Living Dead for years, so they deserve a big win.
unless you have vulnerability stacks or are hit with a damage down debuff during walking dead, in which case you are screwed or have to pray that your healer can do something about it
@@cap9753 vulnerability stacks would be fine as you need to heal the amount of your maximum hp, not up to full hp. though yes, damage down would be detrimental. at least the dark knight can help the healers this time
@@cap9753 Does damage down affect your healing potency? Because Living Dead gives flat cure potency, not lifesteal, and isn't based on damage you deal to foes.
@@ArcVaranus All you have to do is deal some damage to get a flat heal, so how much damage you actually dealt doesn't really matter, at least in terms of how much you get healed by it.
my first video of yours, and just wanted to say I really enjoy your flow :D Also useful info for a newbie like me :P Thanks!
I love this Channel. I feel like if there was a big booth or stage for FF14 at E3... Lucy could probably do an hour of standup comedy just about about FF14 and have the crowd cracking up.
Great video. Very entertaining while learning which job suits me best.
As a healer main who also grows Carolina Reapers, I can confirm your description is accurate
Thanks for this informative video, I'm finally going to try to lvl other classes and pick one out of every roll to main incase I ever need to switch to a certain roll.
Hmm ... after this video i think i'll level blue mage . Thank you Lucy
NOOOO
@@LucyPyre oh i meant red mage ! Sorry :D
@@x0xAdrianx0x I can only encourage you in the Red Mage way, doing damage and party support is great and all, but doing damage and party support with Style is better and RDM is the best in this regard xD
Woah! This is super good video to watch. Funny jokes and delivery. I love this kind of content and helps me think of which one I want to use.
Good video! Nice to see a more "serious" guide, I can send it to a few friends who are on the fence about the game lmao
So happy i found you freakin hilarius and awesome vid ❤❤❤❤😊
The whole thing about tanks is highly dependant on which tank you use. Basically, Warrior is broken OP, Gunbreaker is an undercover DPS, and PLD is only good past level 50. Low-level dungeons/trials with PLD feel so oddly unforgiving, you feel more like a DPS that just happens to have tank skills and a strand of spaghetti for a weapon. This changes instantly in the level 50+ dungeons where your sense of strength seems to ramp up very fast. All they would need to do to improve it is let us use Clemency earlier, since PLD is supposed to be a HEALING TANK...
What about dark knight?
@@wingnutmcspazatron3957 Dark is the odd one of the bunch. I've actually never touched DRK so I can only speak from the videos and posts I've seen, but it seems more situational than a normal tank.
This was a wonderful guide, and so inviting and fun for new and returning newbies! Thank youuuu
Not only did you help me choose a job, you helped me decide to play this game
I was browsing for FFXIV guides and you really are funny, and informative. Instant Suscribe 😍

As someone who played all the jobs to 80 in ShB for the amaro mount and then to 90 in EW because why the fsck not I already did most of the work, this is a fairly accurate overview. But I main Machinist because dakka so I might be trying to lull sprouts into false complacency.
I miss classic Summoner :( Back when your pet could, and would die. I died a few times because Topaz Carbuncle failed me. The memories. . .
I do miss when having one pet stay out than swapping to another one every few seconds. Also at least Titan being targetable for solo tanking.
I miss when your pet could DO something instead of just standing there. x3x
I miss actually doing something as summoner rather than playing this 3 button, 3 attack class it is now 😔
Great writing, awesome video 👍
I'm a white mage so let me see. I'll pick......white mage. Still gonna watched the whole video though
I started CNJ and have always stuck to WHM as much as I can, but as Lucy's class video from a while back called from a mile away, RDM and the allure of real DPS and spammable heals to save myself or others from the healers allergic to cast time heals called to me too much. Kinda the same reason I have PLD as my main tank.
Glad I stumbled upon this video because I am about to play FF14 today.. I primarily play the Archer class on all games and since I like a bit of support role too, Bard it is..
That timing is way to good, i just started playing FF o.o
I only really know that i want to be a healer buuuut... why does everyone and their catgirl have healing abilities, i thought we had healers for that >.
Amazing video. Thank you very much.
As a white mage, I came to increase my self loathing by 10%, but you didn’t point this out so I had a 5% decrease. My therapist appreciates this but I don’t. 😂
Anyway, I was wondering how you’d treat blue mage in this video. I was not disappointed. 😏
Lucy we need swag! I didn’t know where to post this. But you’re by far my fave vtuber.

"aetherflow keeps their MP stable"
Me, who has to keep galvanizing the tank because his pull was too large:
*-1000 MP*
*-1000 MP*
*-1000 MP*
*-1000 MP*
edit: yes, I know there's more than using Adlo but for some reason, not having a barrier active ticks me off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
for this scenario i usually suggest using a combination of whisperin down+ fey tether (level 70 skill) + a sacred soil for 10% mit, and an excog for more wiggle room , it s a lot of passive healing and can give you some time to breathe if the tank is going auto pilot and not doing his job correctly
@@sharinx3389 i agree, the OGCD faerie is very helpful, i don't understand why people bash the faerie so much :(
@@arcticjedimaster Before EW, the fairy used to be unresponsive and finicky at times. EW fixed a lot of that.
@@arcticjedimaster Basically, the fairy AI was crap. Apparently they improved it in EW.
@@arcticjedimaster because in ShB the Fairy was realistically Only good for her skill at max level , yes embrace numerically might heal a lot but all of those heal could not make a difference if a tank survives or not , especially in ShB where a tank had 150k hp and embrace healed 3.8 k or 4k at best, in EW Is Better for the number squish
New to the game and new to your channel. Thank you very much for making this. It's exactly the kind of video I was looking for and you're hilarious.
I will live and die as a MCH main, I may get clowned on in Savages for the worst class in the game. But I will prove to the world I am not irrelevant!
If GNB mains are the caffeine junkies, you guys are the heroine addicts. The only reason I haven't tried MCH is because I have lag issues specifically with FFXIV, and that rotation does NOT look forgiving of lag...
@@Gibby34340 It's does not...our bursts are the weakest of all classes, we only have one raid wide defense skill. And worst of all our Wildfire does less damage then Bard's regular combo. Oh and the level 90 ability isn't good.

The only thing rolling was my eyes. Even I cringed at that one. xD
It's sad that as a SMN main I was so excited for the SMN changes, and now it's literally the least interesting class to play...
New players don't let this put you off though, but as someone who loved to play summoner when it was a complicated job, its quite sad to see
It's kind of weird, considering you can LITERALLY make a god your bitch.
11:36 I am ver-y glad you made this ver-y good guide. Also, once I get the full game and level Gunbreaker to 90 (or whatever the level cap is by the time I have a stable, constant source of income), I plan to play Red Mage because it seems ver-y ver-sitile. Ver.
Gunbreaker still the sigma choice
Such an amazing video! Thank you Lucy for always making such awesome content!!

For NIN controller players, there is a macro you can set up for Shunkuchi that makes it so you can use your recital to aim an teleport with 1 button press. recommended for PC users as well cause it's just that quick and precise enough for the trade off
You know, You Tube recommend me Lucy around October of last year, and I've been following her since, and from day 1 I knew these were jokes and humor, a different way to approach the classic, What class should you play, it saddens me that there has to be a disclaimer.
You keep doing this Lucy, don't let bitter and no fun people tell you otherwise.
I pray this game still keeps on going...
So many classes to still add.
Like the colored wizard upgrades and stuff, or even bring new classes in.
Kinda still surprised we never got brand new classes from the crossover events... it would've been cool to have an actual Monster Hunter class that can switch up its role depending on what weapon and armor types from the MH series it has equipped.
Made me lol multiple times. Wish I could like it more than once. Awesome job.
Lucy, talk about Blue Mage! I can't wait to see what you have to say. I enjoyed unlocking the skills. Minus the primal lv 50 ones on BLU launch... 174 runs of Shiva EX...
I absolutely love your humor and love how blatantly savage yet honest you are about everything. I won't lie, I do wish that you mentioned how obnoxiously strong TBN is for DRK, and how absolutely ridiculous SGE's raidwide damage mitigations are. I feel like those two things alone are great motivations to play the classes. That being said, you are totally right about RPR being the favorited baby of the melee's. I'd say maybe 1/50 raids I get put into with a dancer do I NOT get the dance partner buff as RPR. :3 Great video, Lucy!!
The thing that helped me memorize mudras was realizing that only two factors mattered in the result: The amount of symbols, and the final symbol pressed.

Lol I remember picking THM when I first started in 2019 and it was madness since I was mainly playing solo-story or BR games. Then I got into HW as Black Mage and then stopped for a while. Got back in this year and got my character maxed to 90
100% following. Lol I love the “side note” commentary.

That was amusing and informative. I liked this video :)
Yes, the beginning of this video hit home. I am an "OG / Veteren" AND still know about the same amount as a sprout. This is one of the many reasons I love the new profile thingy. I can alert others that just becaise you may not see one on my name tag, I AM A SPROUT! Ty Y.P.
Sprout-ish here...I first chose the archer when I started playing this game a couple of months ago...just went through the motions of rushing to the required level to get it's next job which I assumed would be a Ranger like most fantasy based MMORPG's I've played from experience...and there's always a Ranger class from my history of playing other Final Fantasy games...and then I finally found out what the Archer turns into...let's just say being disappointed is a downright understatement...
No offense meant to all you awesome bards out there and your equally awesome musical compositions and free concerts in every public area in the game...it's just that it's not what I expected...and I'm really not a fan of the playstyle...Now I've created a new account and am now happy with my Machinist rocking that red riding hood look and I now have a mantra that I say to myself to get ''in the zone'' on every dungeon run: Split Shot... Slug Shot... Clean Shot...
Yes I need to say it out...lest I forget...like my name...
tl;dr-before choosing a job newbies, please check out guides for a class and what they turn into and what they bring to the table and it fits your playstyle...like this video guide for instance!
Behind all the memes, it's amazing the amount of effort you put into the video. And it shows. Legit impressed, have my like and sub.
Blown away by your editing skills
So what if I enjoy having 2-3 cast bars full of abilities for each and every situation during a fight. Ast is a great class if you enjoy pure healing and want more of a challenge than flinging Glare and Dia.
Rdm is all about the flair. Part of the reason I love it. The other part is I could care less for doing dps compared to having utility.
Great vid Lucy.
Hahaha they all are fun. I am just going level them together but still need to decide on one to push the MSQ. For now I am just maining a FSH. So relaxing.
4:50 "Gunbreaker is great for either rabid squirrels or caffeiene addicts." rofl

Damn, those 4 seconds from 5:50-5:54 is the harshest (and most accurate) call out of my life until now. Like...that is me to a "T".
Also, seeing as it took them...I think 7 years (god I hope that's a right guess) to finally fix Blood Weapon and Living Dead, I get the feeling that by like 9.2 the class will finally have actual inner synergy.
Im quite too busy for another Game, on Top for a MMO, but GLHF.
As you know i played mainly Druid in WoW, with Shaman 2. so you guess right if you would bet on a natural, elementarist Fighter for me nearly everywhere.
Take a Bet who i main in LoL.
