I'm way too used to just respawning normally (especially so in hunt trains. I lost many aetheryte tickets because of this lol), so I forget this and end up losing the xp anyways Maybe some day I'll throw a shout lol
And the elemental XP loss is not limited contrary to Bozja. In Eureka, you can level down. Especially if you are at max elemental level, you are guaranteed to level down if not raised.
I so wish eureka would be updated so that we can help lower levels like we do in bozja. Solo play in eureka, really SUCKS. And I so want to finish it, but no one in my FC wants to go do that and most of my friends finished back in Stormblood. I didn't play during SB so I missed out on it at the time.
@@aajaebeareyouseaeh8015 I can't really speak for the first two zones. I did most of it with the challenge log back when my FC was into it. But for the rest, I went in solo and ended up grinding fates. Lots of LFG shouts involved, but people are pretty open to it there. And then for Baldesion, I went for a dedicated discord group. You can't solo this at all.
Minor thing about the keyboard input for Active Time Maneuvers: please make sure you don't hit the Enter key before button mashing, otherwise you just might end up typing in the address for a random pineapple picture as you try to hit Enter again in your attempt to fill the meter. Source: Savanna did this once during a Shinryu Ex fight for Nest.
When it comes to potency confusion, that's the game in general. It hates plainly stating numbers. Just look at how many Ninjas use Doton on single targets and bosses because the game fails to plainly state the per target damage that would make it clear that at low levels for example double Raiton would be better in a one or two target situation. As for the savage reward misconcpetions, I blame inconsistency. If you're doing a roulette that started before daily reset but finish it after daily reset, it counts towards the new day.
I mena when Shadowbringers first came out I had a bunch of bards single target spamming cause the AoE skill did less damage and they couldn't math it out. So I don't think it's the skills problem.
The Doton problem is more one born out of the game failing to properly communicate that DoT damage is every server tick, roughly every 3 seconds, and not every second. This leads many players to assume that DoTs are per-second damage causing them to think Doton is doing triple that damage it actually does.
About the "fact" that adloquium does not override itself i have to intervene. It does override in one specific case: If your second adlo has a higher value than your first it in fact overrides itself. Else you never could override a normal adlo with a crit adlo. This also works for non-crit adlo. If your first adlo heals less than the second cast even without being a crit adlo, it overrides itself.
I remember when I was new I was terrified of going into a new dungeon without watching a guide video first. Now, I just dive in blind and wish everyone else the best 😅 Great glam, btw!
im so happy every time iget a comment about this because i included the footage solely because i found it hilarious LOL. In the moment, i dont think we fully understood what happened which is why it exists in my shadowplay folder. Looking back though, it's such a meme 🤣
Physick is better for PURE healing if you're out of Lustrates and you've already used your Emergency Tactics. There are times you need to top someone off to remove doom, and doing that with Adlo will take more casts than it would with Physick. So general purpose, yes, Adlo is better, in certain circumstances where pure healing is needed.... Physick is better.
yes because the shields from aldo doesnt stack if you use it more than once in a row. Also if theres another healer thats another sch or sge that already has shields using aldo would be a waste.
You're describing a corner case. It doesn't often happen that you're out of Aetherflow and free heals *and* Emergency Tactics is on cooldown. This situation is almost contrived to make a case where Physick is better.
Dying in Eureka is actually a big deal, you actually lose levels. I have a friend that died in Eureka and lost some of their grind and that was actually enough for them to quit playing Eureka lol.
One other thing to add to your Presence of Mind tip is that you likely don't want to hold your Glare IVs until the end because they could fall outside of raid buffs, which would be a pretty sizeable damage decrease.
So much to say about this one, but don't wanna write a novella 1st off, happy to see this type of video from you! I didn't even know people were confused about Slow. But now that you've mentioned it, it makes sense why people didn't bother to use it
@@cyne122 I'll take your word, but I seem to remember it differently (I didn't play 1.0, only played the beta). And the tutorial used to say that you would lose xp
Your video crafting is outstanding, and you make some solid points here. But I'll never understand why anyone would think it's "unfortunate" that healers are expected to, you know, actually take part in battles in a video game. I've never played any other MMOs, but it sounds like it must be super boring to play a healer if everyone who comes to FFXIV is shocked that they're suddenly supposed to participate in fights.
I want to take part by doing healing, not by doing dps =P FFXIV is like one of the few games that has a dedicated healer role that is required to dps this much. Literally, optimization in this game is all about striving to heal *as little as possible* which is so ass backwards in my opinion. But alas, that's simply the game design. Unfortunately, even the "heal checks" are more about mitigation than actual healing. The only way to make healers feel more like healers would probably be to have so much outgoing dmg that we're hard pressed to dps. In games in the past, ofc i dpsed, but no one ever considered my dps toward the kill. In ffxiv, if you have a gray parse as a healer, some people will literally consider you as dragging the team down even though you're A HEALER. Ofc, not everyone is so sweaty as to care *that* much, but the fact that it's kinda a thing still goes to show that healers in this game are not healers, they are green DPS.
@Aitherea I understand your point, it's just that none of that seems like a negative to me. It feels like solid game design that healers should heal as necessary. But we'll just agree to disagree.
Some people are just bad at multitasking so they like to focus on only one thing. A lot of mobile/cozy gamers I know are similar, while the ones who usually play fighting/ARPG enjoy more complexity in gameplay
@@Darkerously No, im okay with multitasking. Im a savage raider, im perfectly capable, and so are many others who agree with my position. We want to see more healer mechanics. More raidwides, autoattacks hitting harder requiring more attention placed on tanks, more opportunities to use esuna, more charybdis/doom cures (or again, doom esuna mechanics). Im not asking to just sit around. Im asking for MORE COMPLEXITY but in a way that makes sense for a HEALER, a SUPPORT class. Im asking for the complexity to be about support type mechanics, NOT dpsing. If i wanted to play a dps, ive got literal dozens to choose from.
@@Aitherea I'm an advocate of Abyssos DoTs so I understand your blight, but it'll **never** reach a point where all you do is healing. Not a single one of the MMOs I've played expected 0 dmg output from healers, unless you're thinking of 2009 or earlier. Especially in this gaming climate with a lot of competition from other less time-consuming genres, designing healbot classes is digging your grave. It's basic, bare-bones, and boring. Eden's Verse, Promise, and Abyssos were all fantastic tiers for healers with insane healing AND dps checks. If tanks are required to double/triple weave their mits during burst windows, reposition boss, aggro swap, and use their shorts frequently, the least healers should do is keep up your DoTs and spam a single dmg spell.
Physick is also a shorter cast time, and costs less MP. Which happens to make it perfect for follow-up heals to Adlo in lower level content, since you can only apply one shield at a time. When it comes to spamming heals, the cast time difference means that in 2 casts of Physick, you've healed 900 potency in 3 seconds, vs the 960 in 4 (and no unspent shield being wasted)
This is not exactly true. Even if physick has a shorter cast time, the global recast for it and Adloquium is the same, which is 2.5 seconds. The second physick would go off in 4 seconds (2.5 recast + 1.5 cast), while for adlo it would be 4.5 (2.5 + 2) and the total cooldown time would be equal at 5 seconds.
If the tank is taking damage fast enough to warrant a follow up heal or spam healing, they are likely eating more shield between casts than Physick will heal for. Casting another Adlo is still the correct move in that case, even if the shield from the first one isn't fully broken.
@MatsuzoSF Except that like Aetheria said, the shields won't overwrite. It only overwrites if the shield you'd apply is stronger than the original one. So no, two adlos in that case would still likely leave you 600 mp shorter and less potency healed.
@@vexten6425 You would just use Emergency tactics into adloquiuim, or Broil into Adloquium. After level 58, which is when you unlock ET, there is almost no situation in which Physick is better than Adlo
@@Roralotl I'm specifically talking in lower level content, where all you have is Adlo, Physick, and Whispering Dawn. The sweet spot in leveling roulettes between 20 and 45. Once you get Lustrate and your other tools, it's a no brainer.
The Glare 4 under PoM misconceptions sounds very similar to how people have different ways of pouring a bowl of cereal. Either you pour the flakes first and then the milk. Or, pour the milk first and then the flakes. This is just that but with some WHM players arguing what's better at the kitchen table. Meanwhile the SCH is busy eating some Honey B Lovely Cheerios.
TL;DR dealing damage as a healer isn't something you should hate or count as an 'unfortunate mechanic' its something that breathes a bit of life into the four classes that basically just spam big heal buttons and throw up occasional DR circles. The rotations are already extremely simplistic, and only add, they don't take away. ~ A 3-year player who adores healer despite the boredom it sometimes brings :( Only one big comment i'll make, the rest of the video is wonderful written and performed: the negative connotation you placed around dealing damage as a healer/support class. The game is incredibly boring if you dont do any damage as a healer. Tanks have so much mitigation that if you don't deal any damage as healer, you practically stand still and do nothing for more than half the time. Certain tanks don't even NEED healing (looking at you 5th Healer), making you literally worthless and useless if you don't do damage and throw up your utilities such as damage reduction or sprint speed or HOTs, etc. I totally understand this is a beginner-facing video, but I've always lacked an understanding of why someone WOULDN'T want to deal BIG DEEPS, even as a healer. I DO understand the healxiety for sure, and in the beginning, not dealing damage as a healer is not super detrimental, might make the pulls a bit slower though, but it's INCREDIBLY boring, and frankly, with how boring low-level content is already for everyone, healers especially, not dealing damage would just make that worse.
I'll also add, as an addendum, that while the point about DPS with PoM is the exact same, the utility of Glare IV is that it allows for movement DPS. The priority is absolutely to get it in with raid buffs, but there are also niche situations in high level content where the ability to DPS while you move is better than the boost you get from raid buffs for those hits. In general content, raid buffs ain't really happening for shit anyway, because half the playerbase doesnt even know those 5% buttons even exist, and it is significantly better for your DPS to use those buttons for movement during mechanics.
The current game design requires you to dps as there is far too much downtime otherwise, as you've stated. That doesnt mean that I have to like that aspect of the game, though. The reason I got into endgame content is because it allowed me to actually press healing buttons. Outside of ex, savage, and ultimate, i basically spend the entire time pressing glare and hardly ever touching healing buttons. Not to mention in raids or trials, if the other healer isnt a glarebot, then theres literally no reason for me to even be there as the majority of it is tragically easy to solo heal. Tanks., especially Warrior can often solo dungeon mobs and if they can't, its basically the only time i get to actually do some healing. I dont particularly enjoy dpsing, in fact, i prefer the simplistic style of dps on WHM and find the majority of dps jobs in the game boring. Like literally, you will never catch me as a dps main because I abhor it. Thats not to say it's objectively bad, but it's something I dont find any fulfillment or enjoyment in doing. You and i like different things, and there's nothing wrong with that. But at the end of the day the video is from my perspective, it would be impossible to withhold my opinions completely, and frankly, I dont want to. So yeah, having to do so much dps as a healer fucking sucks. Healers wanna heal!
Not all healers wanna be healbots. Main reason I became SCH/SGE main in ffxiv is that I like the blend of support styled gameplay where I m not forced to spam gcd heals all the time but can AND should contribute to party dps in sort of meaningful way. I m not paying your subscription. You do you. But both for me and lot of my healer friends... #GreenDpsMatters
@@Aitherea In recent weeks I have started to add PLD to that list. They don't even need to use their self heal. A PLD that knows how and when to press their mits will just not take damage, and what little they receive is restored through knights benediction. Am a WHM main, but went into an expert as PLD myself, collected about 4 vun stacks, and with a mit or two still took ZERO damage from a TB.
Something to note about using Glare 4 under PoM, the reason I have always understood and use for not casting Glare 4 until after the PoM reduced casting time buff is gone is mobility. Yes we are going to do the same dps, but if you think about it in the sense of potentially having to avoid mechanics at the same time, you will have 8 Glare 3s with a faster cast time, rather than only 5 Glare 3s, 3 Glare 4s and then 3 more Glare 3s at your normal cast speed...it may not be much...but 20% faster cast with slide casting is still much faster than your normal spell casting speed, just something to consider
Another common misconception is that tanking is difficult. Many people avoid trying it due to anxiety they might have, but in reality it's very simple. It's not really a stretch to say that tanking is just melee but easier and more forgiving.
I learned the hard way that you lose elemental EXP if you die and not accept a raise in eureka. I was max level, died, thought i was safe and went from 60 back to 59 😢
When you get adlo that is your major "healing" spell. Bec sch is a "shield healer" If you end up spamming gcd heals, then you may adlo physick adlo physick. But adlo> physick
The thing with Glare III and Glare IV mathematics is, that you also have to consider the raidbuff windows, which most of them last only 10 secs, while POM lasts 15. So you rather wanna boost your stronger skills in percentage so Glare IV and Afflatus Misery than Glare III and then using Glare IV unbuffed. If you would do the calculations that way, you would see a much bigger difference in potency and DPS
The Story was exactly why I stopped. It was always to much. I wanted to enjoy the game and lvl up my classes, dressing up my little lala and decorate my house and all. And skipping cutscenes didn't really help. Because they just keep coming and coming. And they added always more storycomponents and it's mandatory that you sit there and read through tons of textboxes. Might be a great story but after a while I just didn't really care anymore. If you are one who keeps skipping cutscenes then don't worry, you are not doing anything wrong. Sorry if I offended someone.
As much as I love the story, i understand that it isnt everyone's cup of tea. FFXIV has a lot of elements like what you mentioned that can make it a really cozy game. I think everyone should give the story a *chance* (preferably past arr cuz yeah arr isnt great >.
It's okay to not like the story, and it's okay to skip if you'd rather not do it. I personally only have issues with people who skip and then turn around and say "story bad". Sir/madam, how do you know it's bad?
Theres a plugin that speeds up the skipping textboxes and cutscenes and makes it faster a bit, sadly the NPCs still emote after every line tho, so its still a pain in the ass if you want to get through fast but at least its something.
This is a very long comment. I was on the trial until not all that long ago, and I was going through Shadowbringers for the first time a few months back. I SOMEHOW made it to Seat of Sacrifice without ever thinking to use multiple inputs for quick time events since they were never hard to do using only one input up to that point. Luckily, the one in that trial is 10 times harder than every one before it, and literally feels like it lasts a week when you're only using the A button. My poor controller, man. If you weren't aware, that one is PAINFULLY HARD using only one face button. We wiped on the QTE THREE TIMES, but the funniest part is that I wasn't the one failing it. Every time we wiped, that just meant I would have to do it AGAIN. One of the tanks was NOT happy (so much so that he/she insisted the one missing it was just griefing), and it seemed the other people weren't either, as everyone but me and the tank left after the third wipe. Can't say I blame them, honestly. We filled back up relatively quickly, with the replacements basically all asking what had happened. The tank responded, "Yeah, we had someone trolling on the QTE and everyone else left. The Reaper and I were the only ones who stayed... Unless it was the Reaper." I was the Reaper, and I was in fact *not* the one trolling. My hands have never flown to my keyboard faster to type a message. Anyway, I had a dilemma. I'm not dim, so I had guessed at some point that I had to be able to use multiple buttons, but I didn't exactly want to try it and have it somehow not be the case and ACTUALLY be the one to miss it, especially in front of the unhappy tank (who kindly stayed, and I was sure was staring daggers at me now, even after I assured them all that I was not the one failing it). On this attempt, I was a bit nervous, and seemingly came pretty close to really missing it. Thankfully, I and everyone else hit it that attempt, we cleared, and my A button and arm were both in shambles. I thanked the tank for staying, because I probably would've followed suit and left otherwise. The next time I saw a QTE, I bit the bullet and pressed all four face buttons, relieved - though not surprised - that it worked. Lesson learned.
I'm afraid that I must to reveal to you that you have fallen for the game's visual trickery! While the bar that you need to keep from going to zero in that fight increases by the tiniest amount for every button press when it is near full, the closer it gets to empty the more it increases per button press. You can easily beat that QTE by pressing a button about twice per second. Just don't panic because it LOOKS like you're failing.
Off topic but Of all the sexy witch glams I've seen over the years this was one of the more classier ones the flowing gown is really cute good work! :)
I do tend to watch guides for normal content because I don’t like going in blind but I don’t expect anyone I party with to have watched a guide, it does come in handy though when a sprout asks about a mechanic and I’m able to give them a quick explanation, I’ll always help my fellow sprouts but only if they ask so if they wish to figure it out for themselves then they still can 😊
Minor correction on shields, the shield won't overwrite itself UNLESS the shield would be larger than what is already on the target. Just, as usual, be careful when running both sage and scholar. Basic shields don't stack, but different skills can overwrite each other even if it's a smaller shield. Crit shields are separate here, so it's possible to have a crit from the sage and a large spread shield from the scholar.
Clicking during ATM actually can be faster... IF you combine it with keyboard. Yes you can do both and it's actually faster than just one or the other. The reason people say don't use Glare 4 under POM, isn't because it doesn't affect it, it's because it's an instant cast skill. Yes you can recast faster, but I think most would rather fit the glares in since the G4s can be used as a semi-weave afterwards. I don't know anyone who just uses the G4s back to back after POM but I guess there would be some who would? I alternate them between Glare or Heals just to stretch out their usefulness.
The issue there is that if you were to save your Glare IVs for after PoM wears off, you are directly wasting damage assuming you are properly aligning the skill's CD with 2 minute party buffs (as you should always be); you will consistently miss at *least* one use of Glare IV in that window, which is a considerable DPS loss. So the reality of the situation is that once you use PoM, you then have a 20 second window in which you should be using all 3 of your Glare IVs (ideally that happens during a mechanic in which you can make good use of the afforded movement).
The story is so good in fact, that people can't stand it when the story finishes one story and has to start a new one in Dawntrail. The 'badness' of the story in Dawntrail has been overly exaggerated and is still worth knowing.
The whole Adlo vs Physic argument has always given me a bit of a chuckle because everyone knows that I don’t heal, that’s Selene’s job. I just cast Broil. 😁 Also 10/10 Halloween glam! I love the purple/black aesthetic for the season!
I was scared she was gonna say the opposite for a second. I have physick on my hotbar, but I couldn't even tell you where it is. Things are going really bad if I'm down to that spell
i used to watch guides all the time as a sprout cuz i thought that's what was expected of me. glad that's not the case. granted i don't and never will do harder content, so i don't have to worry about that anymore lol
Great video Ath. Love your editing, and how you explain things. Glam is cute and on point as always ^^ Spaced out during PoM shpeal, but I trust you implicitly, and will take you at your word
It was indeed a long explanation, but it was meant for the people who need to see the math to understand/believe me. It's def not a section for everyone and I totally expect those who dont care about that sort of thing to skip ahead xD
Also, to add to mobs in the world attacking or not: mobs have senses, meaning that most mobs use their sight so if you can pass them by staying out of their sight even if you're too close, they will not aggro on you. Note that this does not work with every mobs, since some of them don't have eyes and use hearing instead and so on (for example, Eureka's sleeping dragons). In which case either moving carefully or simply staying at a distance will help. Some mobs of course don't care about any of it and will always attack as soon as you're within their aggro range, like instance bosses, etc.
I actually didnt know that! I did notice while getting this clip that i had to stand in front of the damn tiger's face to get it to aggro, but i didnt realize it was like this all over the game. That's kind of cool!
@@Aitherea It is indeed, personally I like that the devs have taken this extra step (instead of just "check if in aggro range, if yes then get angry and attack" single option) and added this element to the game. Shows that they do want to make a great game and make it as immersive as possible (for MMO).
The thing about arm's length I make sure to tell any new tank. Also there so many meches you can cheese with it. Theres a mech on the final boss of Babil you can just ignore using it its not needed but its a nice flex to do it
The Active Time Manouvers one is amazing, you can use 8 fingers, use any keys and button mash all of them. Also, Physick over adlo is only prefered if there's a shield, it hasn't been spent and you still don't have emergency tactics. If so just use emergency tactics, then adlo. (Assuming no lustrate) Otherwise it's good to fish crit shields, usually the shield gets broken while you're casting your next adlo. Note: Your character looks so pretty, I'm so glad we get 2 glam slots per piece, I can notice how it got combined here ♪
I really appreciate that tip about Presence of Mind and Glare IV, because I was making that exact mistake myself. Never considered the recast time. This healer will adjust his tactics from now on!
The only one I really didn't know back in the day was the Timed Maneuver. I knew about the mechanic, but I didn't know you could use the keyboard. I am a clicker, so I clicked. When I was farming Shinryu for the mount, even unsynced, I was struggling the the timed maneuver and finally someone told me about being able to use the keyboard. I basically became a god in that fight after that lol. Even though I am still a clicker for abilities ect, I use keyboard for Maneuvers.
Resurrecting in Eureka is even more punishing then Bozja, you lose experience and can go down a level. You won't lose anything though if you have another play resurrect you instead of doing it your self.
@@idno4856 You do still lose ranks if you die too many times. Doesn't matter once you reach rank 25 though. All you do then is accumulate to get medals.
I didn't know you could press a key instead of clicking the mouse for active time maneuvers. Will have to try that and see if it's faster than my Lightning Mouse Technique!
Also, about Adlo.... Emergency Tactics is a thing. It is extremely powerful when paired with Adlo (an adlo crit with ET is basically Benediction with 1000MP cost and no cooldown). ET also has a rather short cooldown so you should be reaching for that way before you reach for Physick. Once you get ET, you almost never should be casting Physick, it's a spell you should 99% graduate away from using.
Im glad you went deeper into the aldo vs physick differences, its annoying when people look at which one is better "on paper" and act like you should just delete the other from the bar. If that was the case, then sqex would have just made physick be replaced by aldo at level 30 instead of keeping both. Its more enjoyable for me as a healer to think about when i should use one vs the other and actually use both in combat (even if one is used more than the other) and of course ive done extreme / savage as healer so its not like "its just because im doing easy content" or something
This isn't just a SCH problem, it's a healer problem. Heal 1 (Cure/Physick/etc) stays on the bar straight till level 100 on all healers, yet in all cases they basically become useless at level 30 because MP efficiency doesn't matter. Even with Physick/Diagnosis, you would have to contrive a situation where they would be useful vs doing something else, even against Adlo/EDiag.
Dying doesn't make you lose anything...Lies it makes me lose my dignity and a little bit of gil as I teleport myself back to wherever I was stupid. small Edit: White mages Free Cure on Cure 1 is a trap just use Cure 2 it's better, please just use Cure 2 if you have it, don't use Cure 1...like ever.
I clicked with my mouse on action time mannouvers till the end of SHB and died horribly on seat of sacrifice since i did not click fast enough, then later i learned about the keyboard thing and i was mad as hell
Fun fact that this stupid game never tells you: Temperance does not give mitigation directly, it applies a healing percentage buff on yourself that will ripple another buff that is the 10% mitigation throughout you and 7 other party members. Whenever temperance ends, that 10% mitigation will linger for 4ish seconds, making it last 24s instead of 20s like it says in the tooltip. This is the exact system used for sacred soil, which in reality unlike the tooltip saying is 15s it's actually 19s of mitigation uptime. This lingering effect will also extend throughout a plethera of other jobs skills and sage has none of them surprisingly enough. Those skills that come to my mind are: Collective Unconscious(astro blue gumball), Paladin wings which I forgot the name, Temperance and Sacred soil as mentioned and I think there's more. As a bonus, there is the 2nd boss of the last stormblood alliance raid, which you pick up the special shield ability, and you use it as a lingering effect to not waste gcd uptime, but been a lot since I've been there I don't fully remember that one. When you have a decade year old game that never really went out of its way to educate people on these factors that sometimes can save wipes from raids, it's pretty clear to me they don't really give 2 shits about making the player interface better to teach players of the nuances of this game.
as was mentioned below, you do loose exp in eureka, like bozja. but raises are plentiful generally. thanks, learned a few things, despite playing 4+ years
5:15 - Actually, you do lose 'something' when your character dies. They lose durability on their armor. Most of the time, this is hardly a noticeable fact, and fairly negligible. However, there are certain instances where it can cause an annoyance, like when you're progressing through Savage, Extreme, or Ultimate content. When you die to content enough times, it can become somewhat costly. And yes, I can confirm that if you die enough times in Eureka, you can lose Elemental Levels (which is Eureka's leveling system). 6:20 - There are still plenty of reasons to create other characters, even having a second account. However, those reasons are more tuned to doing certain activities in the game more efficientky, or more frequently, like gathering more resources that have a limited window for when you can gather them, or having additional retainers for gathering items and having more storage space. A second account can be helpful simply to have a way of moving those resources between your characters and utilizing that additional retainer space. I will admit, however, these reasons are niche, and really only reasons for much more dedicated players to FFXIV, but they are still certainly valid. 7:50 - While it's true that you don't have to send a 'traditional party' out on all missions, and can literally send all DPS if you want, you DO still need tanks and healers, particularly to fill in the gaps for Command Missions in particular, which are essential for increasing your Grand Company rank to 1st LT and Captain. One thing you ALSO don't need is diversified DPS. You can literally have 2 Marauders, 2 Conjurers, and 4 Archers. This will diversify your squadron enough that you can send members out on a mission AND do Command Missions at the same time without needing to worry about filling in specific roles.
Another misconception ive seen is that you need to have completed a duty to *create* a party with status set to [Duty Complete]. You can create a duty complete party at any time, but to join an existing one you must have completed it prior. Hope i didnt just nuke PF lol. Unless this got patched out for DT but I didnt see anything about it.
a note about the adlo shields they will replace but only if they are stronger than the ORIGINAL cast it won't read how much has already been used up but will replace a weaker cast with a stronger cast technically this is true not just for adlo but all shield heals wither from Sage or Scholar edit noted you talked about using physick for the direct effect but this is where emergency tactics comes in as it will convert the shield into a direct heal note that Sage has similar but theirs works AFTER the cast while Scholar is BEFORE the cast
Honestly, the info is only relevant for really low levels anyway. Once you get skills like lustrate, the "physick or adlo" question goes out the window... just use lustrate! xD At higher levels its basically adlo is great for mob pulls, and it can still have some decent uses, but youll be prioritizing ogcds. But that's a great tip about the shield -- i didnt realize it because it wont overwrite itself if it's full, and in the dungeons i ran while preparing this video, there wasnt really enough outgoing dmg to notice something like that.
@@Aitherea not entirely it is a tool I see people forget for recovery in prog even at max level as you don't always have enough stacks for the situation and as you noted you don't gain anything from shielding a nontank you rezzed that won't take damage in 30s but they do need to be topped for incoming mechanics
the only way you dont need to play more than 1 character is if your playing a lala or you dont like lalas. i started as cat girl because i had a plan for playing ninja back in the day and i had a character concept of a cat burgler who was a black cat so misfortune always follows her ( i promise noting to do with cat woman, i used to write fantasy stories based on my fav books as a kid and i had a rogue that fit perfectly with the character). i didnt like how lalas looked in the character creater. playing the rogue story there is a fun cute lala and when i made a retainer i made a super cute lala and couldnt resist playing her as a character. so now i play 2 chars so i can enjoy the story as a serious fighter trying to save the universe and also as a super adorable sarcastic halfling that carries around weapons 5 times her size while riding her trusty steed, a dodo named glen (named after sheldons ostritch from big bang theory because a dodo is the right sized ostrich for her lol)
Actually, you do lose something by dying: Some of the durability on all equipped items. Also, you do get the Weakness / Brink of Death debuff if you do get rezzed.
not to mention the rez curse of dying to a mechanic that goes off after you rez and your first instinct is to run causing you to lose rez invulnerability lol
@@Kwstr42 running will not cause you to lose rez invul, I'm assuming you meant sprint. But if you know the mechs sufficiently in-depth, you can cheese A LOT of stuff with rez invul.
It seems odd that you can only get riding Maps in the post game, but they’re not really useful at that point. If you could get them for GP or side quests before you get all the currents they would be worthwhile now they just seem like a minor speed adjustment so it’s almost flying
That's certainly true of older expansions but SE stopped that as of Shadowbringers with the Gemstones you get from FATES. You have to do at least 5 FATES in a zone to unlock it for purchase from the Gemstone Trader which allows you to enjoy riding at increased speeds BEFORE you're able to fly. Then it's useless again lol
Well there are a few reasons to have alts, but definitely not the same as say WoW, but if you really are into the story you may want to have at least 3 characters in order to see the stories in each of the 3 city states. The important differences end after the level 15 envoy quest.
I am surprised about the Raid Loot thing. I am pretty sure if you do a Roulette while the next day 'begins' it counts for that one. I expected weekly stuff to be similar but good to know it isn't
10:00 I love when I'm playing DPS and the tank dies to a group so I become a mini tank using any healing moves and shield I have along with arm's length.
I myself usually use the 3 insta casts after 15secs of PoM, if I know there is some aoes or mechs incoming, since the insta casts are free movement lol
I may be a sprout, but I wouldn't dream of walking into group content without reading a guide first. I also run it in a DPS first before I'd ever try it on a tank, even though I love tanking. I hate not knowing what's going on, and I don't want to let everyone down
For a lot of people, the fun *is* figuring out the mechanics on their own. I cant lie, when new dungeons and raids drop, going in on day 1 when theres no one to follow and no one knows what theyre doing is SUPER fun. So, it's completely up to you whether you prefer to use guides or if you want to enjoy the fun of figuring out the mechs yourself. No one will hold it against you c:
@@Aitherea If I'm comfortable in my role and I have a good group, there's nothing better than going in blind day 1. I'm an endgame raider in another game and it's one of my favorite things. At the same time, I'm doing old content in FFXIV and I'm often the only new person. That's when I look at a guide so I can pull my weight. Even then I'm still a potato
@@Nilandia ahaha well, it's up to you at the end of the day, but i promise the majority of people absolutely dont care and those that do are assholes worthy of a block ;)
I have never in the history of ever had a single person tell me or anyone else I know that the story isn't worth playing. I mean, the one exception being recently with the first portion of the Dawntrail story.
Saying Adlo or physick is stronger than the other are both kinda wrong because the situation matters. If youre REALLY hard up for heals to get someone topped back up, spamming adlo is worse, the shield doesnt stack, and the heal potency is lower, plus adlo spam would be a big waste of mp. If youre in a situation where the shield is being depleted every second, then yes the adlo spam is better option, but if youre trying to get someone back to full and the shield is still on them, then you use physick. BUT if you're in a situation where physick spam is necessary, then the run of whatever youre doing is probably already over lol. Also emergency tactics is your friend to of course.
they technically had stories, but yeah they were so poorly written/disjointed no one actually paid attention to them. any time there was a cut scene people would just skip. The most recent MMO i played with shit story was lost ark xD but id already been an xiv player at that point lol.
The way I use physick is when I need to get the tank healthy while he is taking a serious beating. I cast aedeloqium first, then follow with Physicks, which heals the HP while the shield is baring the brunt of the assault. It is mana consuming, but I find it better than spamming adeloquium and overriding thz shield before it depletes.
You really don't need to do that. Your tank is already getting healed by your fairy + natural HP regen. If you need a follow up heal, you're better off waiting till the shield (almost) falls off and casting Adlo again.
@@MatsuzoSF I will try it, but it doesn't seem like a good idea. Not only does it require an excellent estimation of when the shield will cave in, which is not a given, but it goes against the "Always Be Casting" mentality.
@@Contevent Just cast a damage spell. Also it doesn't matter if the shield fully breaks. If it absorbed more damage than a Physick would have healed for, it's still better to cast the Adlo.
@@MatsuzoSF Well I don't know how to explain it, I just know that in practice, it works. In emergency adlo+physiks saves the tank while spamming adlo doesn't or waste shielding.
@@Contevent Mathematically that makes no sense. It's adjacent to the whole "wait and use Cure 2 instead of using Cure" thing, but just slightly complicated by part of the "heal" being a shield. I said it to someone else here, but if a tank is taking damage fast enough to require an immediate follow up heal spell (or heal spamming), they are probably taking more damage between GCDs than Physick will heal for. In that case Adlo is still the correct choice because even if you overwrite part of the shield you still got more mileage out of it than Physick.
Adloquium becomes better than Physick as a pure heal with Emergency Tactics, as it converts the shield potency into healing. You really shouldn't use Physick much after level 58
"Healers don't have to DPS." Technically nobody except one person has to DPS in most content. It's just way way way faster if everybody contributes, and we're all in this together, so please contribute.
I have had nothing but a bad time running a full group of real people when I'm doing dungeons blind. I don't know it, they do because they're getting it on roulette, that's fine, but trying to hunt monsters for my Grand Company ranks and just not knowing the layout of the place or mechanics yet, at least one person per is harassing me to hurry up and showing clear consternation for my not knowing it yet. I absolutely do not believe more experienced players want newer players to have a good time, at least not in the dungeons. I'm a better raider than dungeon runner anyway.
14:00 Please be more informed on Adloquium shields before spreading false information. Adloquium does in fact overwrite weaker versions of the same shield, so you can go ahead and put up another shield before the old one is completely destroyed if the new shield is stronger (from the 3% variance, crit rng, the old shield being damaged, etc.). Additionally, using Physick as the primary heal on revived players is always one of the worst options you can possibly do, don't take her advice, NEVER do this. There are an extremely low amount of enemy attacks that ignore shields and directly attack hp, so always use Adloquium as your primary gcd heal. If you need the pure hp heal and you have Emergency Tactics, that will automatically convert the shield into a pure heal. Physick at high levels heals non-tanks for about 14-16% hp and tanks for barely 11% hp, it is so not worth it. Adlo spam can understandably become expensive for mp, so use ogcd heals above everything else unless an incoming attack hits so hard you need the shield padding from Adlo/Succor/Concitation. All SCH ogcd heals cost 0mp, and using Aetherflow to grant yourself 3 stacks of the resource actually RESTORES 2000mp, so you are actually ENCOURAGED to dump the stacks on ogcd heals.
Thanks for the info about the shield -- I wasnt able to figure this out in my own testing, and sometimes you just plain dont know things. How can you even know to ask about or research something that you have no concept of its existence? That said, the physick vs adlo argument is one that really only applies to lower levels. I wasnt considering stuff like emergency tactics because I was thinking about this from a low level perspective where you dont *have* better skills available to you. Sorry if that wasn't made entirely clear in the video :)
Gets a like for the flower shower lama 👍 P.s. end of video learnt about not having to have 1 tank 1 dps etc leveled for the grandcompany ( so much time wasted but thank you) P.s.s learnt my white mage maths skills suck use glare 4 is what I got out of it then spam the rest👍
ahaha the simple version for the people who dont need me to prove it is that you can use glare 4 whenever you want, and it's okay to use it while under the effect of presence of mind (theres no loss or gain in doing so). xD just be sure to use it before raid buffs run out IF there are any!
Riding Maps is such an outdated mechanic, they might as well remove it and normalize the mount speed to 2-star. Misconception: Direct Hit does not affect healing. Reality: It's true that DH doesn't affect healing, however it's still quite good to meld it on your healer for some extra oomph when you deal damage. Also, on the topic of Adloquium is always going to be better than Physick since you need to apply Adloquium to use Deployment Tactics, or if used with Emergency Tactics it'll convert the barrier to HP, or in case you use Recitation then Adloquium will always critically heal. The only time you'd ever use Physick is if you're below level 30, but for the most part Embrace from your fairy will be more than enough in the early levels. SCH players should treat Physick the same way BLM players treat Scathe and pretend it doesn't exist.
Unfortunately they sell a mount people explicitly buy for the base two star speed so they don't have to FATE grind immediately in a new area, especially with how slow and competitive it can be at expac launch. If they sunset riding maps, they've basically scammed all the people who bought the mount for actual dollars. Granted I do already find it absolutely egregious that they sell a QoL mount for real money.
@@Necrofitz I have the SDS Fenrir, not because it's a 2-star mount, but because I like the bike. I don't think anyone who actually bought it did it for the QoL, they bought it because it's a nice mount, the perk is just a bonus slapped on top. Nobody buys a mogstation store mount for "convenience", people buy it because they like it. Besides when you unlock flying in the zones the mount speed is the same for everyone, so the fact that you're upset about it means that you either don't have the mount, or you're the type of player who doesn't pick up the Aether Currents.
@@astrealove2247 I've literally had several people tell me they bought the mount for the speed. I had people in shout chat at the beginning of DT just telling me to buy it for the movement speed. Pretty sure you're in the minority here just loving the bike design that much. Also getting so weirdly defensive over what is objectively selling QoL is weird to me. You aren't SE. It's okay.
YOu do get a lot of crap for not liking FF14 story, it's like people HAVE to force you love the story because it's the best story they ever played. I been a gamer for 30 years, I seen every trope and story out there. FF14 is nothing unique in it's story, and you are fine to not like it. I hate every story expansion expect EW, Endwalker just had a lot what I liked, and also of course disliked, is doesn't mean I hate the game, there is always something for everything as FF14 is a game with Massive Content. I also hate how people go out of their way of "You need to watch the guide and spoil yourself" while screaming how they themselves hate spoilers.
You dont know about Eureka its lenient compared to Bozja even after the devs nerfed the place with echo but to quell suspicion you lose exp the higher your lvl is the more you lose you lose no exp if/when raised and its a big if two bc you cant change jobs after you leave camp and the first two areas you cant use logos actions.
15:29 Um, actually, it's referred to as "global cool down", not "general cool down" 🤓
Uhm, Ahkchuilly it is just called "GCD" no one says the full thing. 🤓🤭
@NightHawkmanO nah. You don't hear it fully stated much in casual pve games like ff. But it is global
@@coryp6868
He knows it's global he was just making a joke about GCD not standing for anything.
Eureka you lose elemental exp if you die & return, however if someone raises, you don’t :) It’s encouraged to ask for a raise in shout for this reason
I'm way too used to just respawning normally (especially so in hunt trains. I lost many aetheryte tickets because of this lol), so I forget this and end up losing the xp anyways
Maybe some day I'll throw a shout lol
And the elemental XP loss is not limited contrary to Bozja. In Eureka, you can level down. Especially if you are at max elemental level, you are guaranteed to level down if not raised.
I so wish eureka would be updated so that we can help lower levels like we do in bozja. Solo play in eureka, really SUCKS. And I so want to finish it, but no one in my FC wants to go do that and most of my friends finished back in Stormblood. I didn't play during SB so I missed out on it at the time.
@@aajaebeareyouseaeh8015 I can't really speak for the first two zones. I did most of it with the challenge log back when my FC was into it. But for the rest, I went in solo and ended up grinding fates. Lots of LFG shouts involved, but people are pretty open to it there. And then for Baldesion, I went for a dedicated discord group. You can't solo this at all.
And that alone take the right away to call both eureka and bozja casual content.

I miss that goober. Rip 😢
When it comes to potency confusion, that's the game in general. It hates plainly stating numbers. Just look at how many Ninjas use Doton on single targets and bosses because the game fails to plainly state the per target damage that would make it clear that at low levels for example double Raiton would be better in a one or two target situation.
As for the savage reward misconcpetions, I blame inconsistency. If you're doing a roulette that started before daily reset but finish it after daily reset, it counts towards the new day.
I mena when Shadowbringers first came out I had a bunch of bards single target spamming cause the AoE skill did less damage and they couldn't math it out. So I don't think it's the skills problem.
The Doton problem is more one born out of the game failing to properly communicate that DoT damage is every server tick, roughly every 3 seconds, and not every second. This leads many players to assume that DoTs are per-second damage causing them to think Doton is doing triple that damage it actually does.
About the "fact" that adloquium does not override itself i have to intervene.
It does override in one specific case: If your second adlo has a higher value than your first it in fact overrides itself. Else you never could override a normal adlo with a crit adlo. This also works for non-crit adlo. If your first adlo heals less than the second cast even without being a crit adlo, it overrides itself.
I remember when I was new I was terrified of going into a new dungeon without watching a guide video first. Now, I just dive in blind and wish everyone else the best 😅
Great glam, btw!

im so happy every time iget a comment about this because i included the footage solely because i found it hilarious LOL. In the moment, i dont think we fully understood what happened which is why it exists in my shadowplay folder. Looking back though, it's such a meme 🤣
Physick is better for PURE healing if you're out of Lustrates and you've already used your Emergency Tactics. There are times you need to top someone off to remove doom, and doing that with Adlo will take more casts than it would with Physick. So general purpose, yes, Adlo is better, in certain circumstances where pure healing is needed.... Physick is better.
yes because the shields from aldo doesnt stack if you use it more than once in a row. Also if theres another healer thats another sch or sge that already has shields using aldo would be a waste.
You're describing a corner case. It doesn't often happen that you're out of Aetherflow and free heals *and* Emergency Tactics is on cooldown. This situation is almost contrived to make a case where Physick is better.
Dying in Eureka is actually a big deal, you actually lose levels. I have a friend that died in Eureka and lost some of their grind and that was actually enough for them to quit playing Eureka lol.
One other thing to add to your Presence of Mind tip is that you likely don't want to hold your Glare IVs until the end because they could fall outside of raid buffs, which would be a pretty sizeable damage decrease.
Almost nothing is lost on KO. Your gear takes a durability hit :3

1st off, happy to see this type of video from you!
I didn't even know people were confused about Slow. But now that you've mentioned it, it makes sense why people didn't bother to use it
It's a reference to FF11. And even in FFXIV1.0, you didn't lose EXP when you died. You just lost equipment durability.
@@cyne122 I'll take your word, but I seem to remember it differently (I didn't play 1.0, only played the beta). And the tutorial used to say that you would lose xp
@@idno4856 You can still research it now \o/ There are older forum posts talking about the topic.
Your video crafting is outstanding, and you make some solid points here. But I'll never understand why anyone would think it's "unfortunate" that healers are expected to, you know, actually take part in battles in a video game. I've never played any other MMOs, but it sounds like it must be super boring to play a healer if everyone who comes to FFXIV is shocked that they're suddenly supposed to participate in fights.
I want to take part by doing healing, not by doing dps =P FFXIV is like one of the few games that has a dedicated healer role that is required to dps this much. Literally, optimization in this game is all about striving to heal *as little as possible* which is so ass backwards in my opinion. But alas, that's simply the game design. Unfortunately, even the "heal checks" are more about mitigation than actual healing. The only way to make healers feel more like healers would probably be to have so much outgoing dmg that we're hard pressed to dps. In games in the past, ofc i dpsed, but no one ever considered my dps toward the kill. In ffxiv, if you have a gray parse as a healer, some people will literally consider you as dragging the team down even though you're A HEALER. Ofc, not everyone is so sweaty as to care *that* much, but the fact that it's kinda a thing still goes to show that healers in this game are not healers, they are green DPS.
@Aitherea I understand your point, it's just that none of that seems like a negative to me. It feels like solid game design that healers should heal as necessary. But we'll just agree to disagree.
Some people are just bad at multitasking so they like to focus on only one thing. A lot of mobile/cozy gamers I know are similar, while the ones who usually play fighting/ARPG enjoy more complexity in gameplay
@@Darkerously No, im okay with multitasking. Im a savage raider, im perfectly capable, and so are many others who agree with my position. We want to see more healer mechanics. More raidwides, autoattacks hitting harder requiring more attention placed on tanks, more opportunities to use esuna, more charybdis/doom cures (or again, doom esuna mechanics). Im not asking to just sit around. Im asking for MORE COMPLEXITY but in a way that makes sense for a HEALER, a SUPPORT class. Im asking for the complexity to be about support type mechanics, NOT dpsing. If i wanted to play a dps, ive got literal dozens to choose from.
@@Aitherea I'm an advocate of Abyssos DoTs so I understand your blight, but it'll **never** reach a point where all you do is healing. Not a single one of the MMOs I've played expected 0 dmg output from healers, unless you're thinking of 2009 or earlier. Especially in this gaming climate with a lot of competition from other less time-consuming genres, designing healbot classes is digging your grave. It's basic, bare-bones, and boring. Eden's Verse, Promise, and Abyssos were all fantastic tiers for healers with insane healing AND dps checks. If tanks are required to double/triple weave their mits during burst windows, reposition boss, aggro swap, and use their shorts frequently, the least healers should do is keep up your DoTs and spam a single dmg spell.
Physick is also a shorter cast time, and costs less MP. Which happens to make it perfect for follow-up heals to Adlo in lower level content, since you can only apply one shield at a time. When it comes to spamming heals, the cast time difference means that in 2 casts of Physick, you've healed 900 potency in 3 seconds, vs the 960 in 4 (and no unspent shield being wasted)
This is not exactly true. Even if physick has a shorter cast time, the global recast for it and Adloquium is the same, which is 2.5 seconds.
The second physick would go off in 4 seconds (2.5 recast + 1.5 cast), while for adlo it would be 4.5 (2.5 + 2) and the total cooldown time would be equal at 5 seconds.
If the tank is taking damage fast enough to warrant a follow up heal or spam healing, they are likely eating more shield between casts than Physick will heal for. Casting another Adlo is still the correct move in that case, even if the shield from the first one isn't fully broken.
@MatsuzoSF Except that like Aetheria said, the shields won't overwrite. It only overwrites if the shield you'd apply is stronger than the original one. So no, two adlos in that case would still likely leave you 600 mp shorter and less potency healed.
@@vexten6425 You would just use Emergency tactics into adloquiuim, or Broil into Adloquium. After level 58, which is when you unlock ET, there is almost no situation in which Physick is better than Adlo
@@Roralotl I'm specifically talking in lower level content, where all you have is Adlo, Physick, and Whispering Dawn. The sweet spot in leveling roulettes between 20 and 45. Once you get Lustrate and your other tools, it's a no brainer.
The Glare 4 under PoM misconceptions sounds very similar to how people have different ways of pouring a bowl of cereal.
Either you pour the flakes first and then the milk. Or, pour the milk first and then the flakes. This is just that but with some WHM players arguing what's better at the kitchen table.
Meanwhile the SCH is busy eating some Honey B Lovely Cheerios.
Once numbers started happening my brain went derp
i feel like i shouldve given a better tldr... this is the one con of not scripting my videos xD
Why is it bad that healers can dps? What else are you doing if there's nobody to heal?
TL;DR dealing damage as a healer isn't something you should hate or count as an 'unfortunate mechanic' its something that breathes a bit of life into the four classes that basically just spam big heal buttons and throw up occasional DR circles. The rotations are already extremely simplistic, and only add, they don't take away. ~ A 3-year player who adores healer despite the boredom it sometimes brings :(
Only one big comment i'll make, the rest of the video is wonderful written and performed: the negative connotation you placed around dealing damage as a healer/support class. The game is incredibly boring if you dont do any damage as a healer. Tanks have so much mitigation that if you don't deal any damage as healer, you practically stand still and do nothing for more than half the time. Certain tanks don't even NEED healing (looking at you 5th Healer), making you literally worthless and useless if you don't do damage and throw up your utilities such as damage reduction or sprint speed or HOTs, etc. I totally understand this is a beginner-facing video, but I've always lacked an understanding of why someone WOULDN'T want to deal BIG DEEPS, even as a healer. I DO understand the healxiety for sure, and in the beginning, not dealing damage as a healer is not super detrimental, might make the pulls a bit slower though, but it's INCREDIBLY boring, and frankly, with how boring low-level content is already for everyone, healers especially, not dealing damage would just make that worse.
I'll also add, as an addendum, that while the point about DPS with PoM is the exact same, the utility of Glare IV is that it allows for movement DPS. The priority is absolutely to get it in with raid buffs, but there are also niche situations in high level content where the ability to DPS while you move is better than the boost you get from raid buffs for those hits. In general content, raid buffs ain't really happening for shit anyway, because half the playerbase doesnt even know those 5% buttons even exist, and it is significantly better for your DPS to use those buttons for movement during mechanics.
The current game design requires you to dps as there is far too much downtime otherwise, as you've stated. That doesnt mean that I have to like that aspect of the game, though. The reason I got into endgame content is because it allowed me to actually press healing buttons. Outside of ex, savage, and ultimate, i basically spend the entire time pressing glare and hardly ever touching healing buttons. Not to mention in raids or trials, if the other healer isnt a glarebot, then theres literally no reason for me to even be there as the majority of it is tragically easy to solo heal. Tanks., especially Warrior can often solo dungeon mobs and if they can't, its basically the only time i get to actually do some healing. I dont particularly enjoy dpsing, in fact, i prefer the simplistic style of dps on WHM and find the majority of dps jobs in the game boring. Like literally, you will never catch me as a dps main because I abhor it. Thats not to say it's objectively bad, but it's something I dont find any fulfillment or enjoyment in doing. You and i like different things, and there's nothing wrong with that. But at the end of the day the video is from my perspective, it would be impossible to withhold my opinions completely, and frankly, I dont want to. So yeah, having to do so much dps as a healer fucking sucks. Healers wanna heal!
Not all healers wanna be healbots. Main reason I became SCH/SGE main in ffxiv is that I like the blend of support styled gameplay where I m not forced to spam gcd heals all the time but can AND should contribute to party dps in sort of meaningful way.
I m not paying your subscription. You do you. But both for me and lot of my healer friends...

Can confirm, you lose EXP for dying in Eureka, and EXP is very important in Eureka.
Something to note about using Glare 4 under PoM, the reason I have always understood and use for not casting Glare 4 until after the PoM reduced casting time buff is gone is mobility.
Yes we are going to do the same dps, but if you think about it in the sense of potentially having to avoid mechanics at the same time, you will have 8 Glare 3s with a faster cast time, rather than only 5 Glare 3s, 3 Glare 4s and then 3 more Glare 3s at your normal cast speed...it may not be much...but 20% faster cast with slide casting is still much faster than your normal spell casting speed, just something to consider
Wouldnt it make more sense to just use the glare iv while youre moving?
Another common misconception is that tanking is difficult. Many people avoid trying it due to anxiety they might have, but in reality it's very simple.
It's not really a stretch to say that tanking is just melee but easier and more forgiving.
I learned the hard way that you lose elemental EXP if you die and not accept a raise in eureka. I was max level, died, thought i was safe and went from 60 back to 59 😢
When you get adlo that is your major "healing" spell. Bec sch is a "shield healer"
If you end up spamming gcd heals, then you may adlo physick adlo physick.
But adlo> physick
The thing with Glare III and Glare IV mathematics is, that you also have to consider the raidbuff windows, which most of them last only 10 secs, while POM lasts 15. So you rather wanna boost your stronger skills in percentage so Glare IV and Afflatus Misery than Glare III and then using Glare IV unbuffed. If you would do the calculations that way, you would see a much bigger difference in potency and DPS

The Story was exactly why I stopped. It was always to much. I wanted to enjoy the game and lvl up my classes, dressing up my little lala and decorate my house and all. And skipping cutscenes didn't really help. Because they just keep coming and coming. And they added always more storycomponents and it's mandatory that you sit there and read through tons of textboxes. Might be a great story but after a while I just didn't really care anymore. If you are one who keeps skipping cutscenes then don't worry, you are not doing anything wrong. Sorry if I offended someone.
As much as I love the story, i understand that it isnt everyone's cup of tea. FFXIV has a lot of elements like what you mentioned that can make it a really cozy game. I think everyone should give the story a *chance* (preferably past arr cuz yeah arr isnt great >.
It's okay to not like the story, and it's okay to skip if you'd rather not do it. I personally only have issues with people who skip and then turn around and say "story bad". Sir/madam, how do you know it's bad?
Theres a plugin that speeds up the skipping textboxes and cutscenes and makes it faster a bit, sadly the NPCs still emote after every line tho, so its still a pain in the ass if you want to get through fast but at least its something.

@@makikuma91Ah big yikes then
you can die and lose exp in eureka, however only after the first 11 levels, but there's no exp loss if revived.
Making it so you lose nothing upon death was the selling point for me to try the free trial back in 2020. I’ve been subscribed ever since.
This is a very long comment.
I was on the trial until not all that long ago, and I was going through Shadowbringers for the first time a few months back. I SOMEHOW made it to Seat of Sacrifice without ever thinking to use multiple inputs for quick time events since they were never hard to do using only one input up to that point. Luckily, the one in that trial is 10 times harder than every one before it, and literally feels like it lasts a week when you're only using the A button. My poor controller, man. If you weren't aware, that one is PAINFULLY HARD using only one face button. We wiped on the QTE THREE TIMES, but the funniest part is that I wasn't the one failing it. Every time we wiped, that just meant I would have to do it AGAIN. One of the tanks was NOT happy (so much so that he/she insisted the one missing it was just griefing), and it seemed the other people weren't either, as everyone but me and the tank left after the third wipe. Can't say I blame them, honestly. We filled back up relatively quickly, with the replacements basically all asking what had happened. The tank responded, "Yeah, we had someone trolling on the QTE and everyone else left. The Reaper and I were the only ones who stayed... Unless it was the Reaper." I was the Reaper, and I was in fact *not* the one trolling. My hands have never flown to my keyboard faster to type a message. Anyway, I had a dilemma. I'm not dim, so I had guessed at some point that I had to be able to use multiple buttons, but I didn't exactly want to try it and have it somehow not be the case and ACTUALLY be the one to miss it, especially in front of the unhappy tank (who kindly stayed, and I was sure was staring daggers at me now, even after I assured them all that I was not the one failing it). On this attempt, I was a bit nervous, and seemingly came pretty close to really missing it. Thankfully, I and everyone else hit it that attempt, we cleared, and my A button and arm were both in shambles. I thanked the tank for staying, because I probably would've followed suit and left otherwise. The next time I saw a QTE, I bit the bullet and pressed all four face buttons, relieved - though not surprised - that it worked. Lesson learned.
I'm afraid that I must to reveal to you that you have fallen for the game's visual trickery! While the bar that you need to keep from going to zero in that fight increases by the tiniest amount for every button press when it is near full, the closer it gets to empty the more it increases per button press.
You can easily beat that QTE by pressing a button about twice per second. Just don't panic because it LOOKS like you're failing.
The bumper buttons for xbox and ps controllers work for them too
Off topic but Of all the sexy witch glams I've seen over the years this was one of the more classier ones the flowing gown is really cute good work! :)
I do tend to watch guides for normal content because I don’t like going in blind but I don’t expect anyone I party with to have watched a guide, it does come in handy though when a sprout asks about a mechanic and I’m able to give them a quick explanation, I’ll always help my fellow sprouts but only if they ask so if they wish to figure it out for themselves then they still can 😊
Minor correction on shields, the shield won't overwrite itself UNLESS the shield would be larger than what is already on the target. Just, as usual, be careful when running both sage and scholar. Basic shields don't stack, but different skills can overwrite each other even if it's a smaller shield. Crit shields are separate here, so it's possible to have a crit from the sage and a large spread shield from the scholar.
Clicking during ATM actually can be faster... IF you combine it with keyboard. Yes you can do both and it's actually faster than just one or the other.
The reason people say don't use Glare 4 under POM, isn't because it doesn't affect it, it's because it's an instant cast skill. Yes you can recast faster, but I think most would rather fit the glares in since the G4s can be used as a semi-weave afterwards. I don't know anyone who just uses the G4s back to back after POM but I guess there would be some who would? I alternate them between Glare or Heals just to stretch out their usefulness.
The issue there is that if you were to save your Glare IVs for after PoM wears off, you are directly wasting damage assuming you are properly aligning the skill's CD with 2 minute party buffs (as you should always be); you will consistently miss at *least* one use of Glare IV in that window, which is a considerable DPS loss. So the reality of the situation is that once you use PoM, you then have a 20 second window in which you should be using all 3 of your Glare IVs (ideally that happens during a mechanic in which you can make good use of the afforded movement).
The story is so good in fact, that people can't stand it when the story finishes one story and has to start a new one in Dawntrail. The 'badness' of the story in Dawntrail has been overly exaggerated and is still worth knowing.
The whole Adlo vs Physic argument has always given me a bit of a chuckle because everyone knows that I don’t heal, that’s Selene’s job. I just cast Broil. 😁
Also 10/10 Halloween glam! I love the purple/black aesthetic for the season!
the physick vs adlo thing is due to the mana more than anything. but yeah adlo is much better in almost all scenarios
I was scared she was gonna say the opposite for a second.
I have physick on my hotbar, but I couldn't even tell you where it is. Things are going really bad if I'm down to that spell
i used to watch guides all the time as a sprout cuz i thought that's what was expected of me. glad that's not the case. granted i don't and never will do harder content, so i don't have to worry about that anymore lol
Great video Ath. Love your editing, and how you explain things. Glam is cute and on point as always ^^
Spaced out during PoM shpeal, but I trust you implicitly, and will take you at your word
It was indeed a long explanation, but it was meant for the people who need to see the math to understand/believe me. It's def not a section for everyone and I totally expect those who dont care about that sort of thing to skip ahead xD
Arms length prevents knock backs. Can work on some bosses.
This has helped with some of the things I was anxious about...
Thx!
Also, to add to mobs in the world attacking or not: mobs have senses, meaning that most mobs use their sight so if you can pass them by staying out of their sight even if you're too close, they will not aggro on you. Note that this does not work with every mobs, since some of them don't have eyes and use hearing instead and so on (for example, Eureka's sleeping dragons). In which case either moving carefully or simply staying at a distance will help. Some mobs of course don't care about any of it and will always attack as soon as you're within their aggro range, like instance bosses, etc.
I actually didnt know that! I did notice while getting this clip that i had to stand in front of the damn tiger's face to get it to aggro, but i didnt realize it was like this all over the game. That's kind of cool!
@@Aitherea It is indeed, personally I like that the devs have taken this extra step (instead of just "check if in aggro range, if yes then get angry and attack" single option) and added this element to the game. Shows that they do want to make a great game and make it as immersive as possible (for MMO).
the PoM thing also applies to BLM's leylines, even instant cast spells still benefit from it
The thing about arm's length I make sure to tell any new tank. Also there so many meches you can cheese with it. Theres a mech on the final boss of Babil you can just ignore using it its not needed but its a nice flex to do it
The Active Time Manouvers one is amazing, you can use 8 fingers, use any keys and button mash all of them.
Also, Physick over adlo is only prefered if there's a shield, it hasn't been spent and you still don't have emergency tactics. If so just use emergency tactics, then adlo. (Assuming no lustrate)
Otherwise it's good to fish crit shields, usually the shield gets broken while you're casting your next adlo.
Note: Your character looks so pretty, I'm so glad we get 2 glam slots per piece, I can notice how it got combined here ♪
I really appreciate that tip about Presence of Mind and Glare IV, because I was making that exact mistake myself. Never considered the recast time. This healer will adjust his tactics from now on!
The only one I really didn't know back in the day was the Timed Maneuver. I knew about the mechanic, but I didn't know you could use the keyboard. I am a clicker, so I clicked. When I was farming Shinryu for the mount, even unsynced, I was struggling the the timed maneuver and finally someone told me about being able to use the keyboard. I basically became a god in that fight after that lol. Even though I am still a clicker for abilities ect, I use keyboard for Maneuvers.
Resurrecting in Eureka is even more punishing then Bozja, you lose experience and can go down a level. You won't lose anything though if you have another play resurrect you instead of doing it your self.
@@MagicFanatics-l8b don't you lose ranks in Bozja also? Honest question cause I haven't done Bozja since the 1st week after it launched
@@idno4856 You do still lose ranks if you die too many times. Doesn't matter once you reach rank 25 though. All you do then is accumulate to get medals.
@@CetteSara thx for the confirmation!
It's one of the reasons I stopped doing it.
Gotta love the sprite island runs after a failed BA attempt to relevel
For active time just hit L1, L2, R1 and R2 with index and middle fingers. Or left bumper and trigger and right bumper and trigger.
I didn't know you could press a key instead of clicking the mouse for active time maneuvers. Will have to try that and see if it's faster than my Lightning Mouse Technique!
So I can actually level my other members of my Squadron? YES!!
Also, about Adlo.... Emergency Tactics is a thing. It is extremely powerful when paired with Adlo (an adlo crit with ET is basically Benediction with 1000MP cost and no cooldown). ET also has a rather short cooldown so you should be reaching for that way before you reach for Physick. Once you get ET, you almost never should be casting Physick, it's a spell you should 99% graduate away from using.
Im glad you went deeper into the aldo vs physick differences, its annoying when people look at which one is better "on paper" and act like you should just delete the other from the bar. If that was the case, then sqex would have just made physick be replaced by aldo at level 30 instead of keeping both. Its more enjoyable for me as a healer to think about when i should use one vs the other and actually use both in combat (even if one is used more than the other)
and of course ive done extreme / savage as healer so its not like "its just because im doing easy content" or something
This isn't just a SCH problem, it's a healer problem. Heal 1 (Cure/Physick/etc) stays on the bar straight till level 100 on all healers, yet in all cases they basically become useless at level 30 because MP efficiency doesn't matter. Even with Physick/Diagnosis, you would have to contrive a situation where they would be useful vs doing something else, even against Adlo/EDiag.
Wait, dying does cost me something. ;w; My self-esteem and confidence.
Dying doesn't make you lose anything...Lies it makes me lose my dignity and a little bit of gil as I teleport myself back to wherever I was stupid.
small Edit: White mages Free Cure on Cure 1 is a trap just use Cure 2 it's better, please just use Cure 2 if you have it, don't use Cure 1...like ever.
oooh that's a good misconception! def seen freecure fishers cuz the fact that it exists would make players think it's worth going for.
I clicked with my mouse on action time mannouvers till the end of SHB and died horribly on seat of sacrifice since i did not click fast enough, then later i learned about the keyboard thing and i was mad as hell
small correction, when you die, your gear looses 2% condition, if it goes to 0% your gear will have no effect, as if you were not wearing it at all!
You lose some durability on your gear for dying, do you not? Not a lot, but it's something.
Yes, you loose a bit of durability by dying.
that's true! i guess it feels so inconsequential that i kind of forgot
(meanwhile, my gear after savage raiding: ☠)
Fun fact that this stupid game never tells you: Temperance does not give mitigation directly, it applies a healing percentage buff on yourself that will ripple another buff that is the 10% mitigation throughout you and 7 other party members. Whenever temperance ends, that 10% mitigation will linger for 4ish seconds, making it last 24s instead of 20s like it says in the tooltip. This is the exact system used for sacred soil, which in reality unlike the tooltip saying is 15s it's actually 19s of mitigation uptime. This lingering effect will also extend throughout a plethera of other jobs skills and sage has none of them surprisingly enough. Those skills that come to my mind are: Collective Unconscious(astro blue gumball), Paladin wings which I forgot the name, Temperance and Sacred soil as mentioned and I think there's more. As a bonus, there is the 2nd boss of the last stormblood alliance raid, which you pick up the special shield ability, and you use it as a lingering effect to not waste gcd uptime, but been a lot since I've been there I don't fully remember that one. When you have a decade year old game that never really went out of its way to educate people on these factors that sometimes can save wipes from raids, it's pretty clear to me they don't really give 2 shits about making the player interface better to teach players of the nuances of this game.
as was mentioned below, you do loose exp in eureka, like bozja. but raises are plentiful generally. thanks, learned a few things, despite playing 4+ years
5:15 - Actually, you do lose 'something' when your character dies. They lose durability on their armor. Most of the time, this is hardly a noticeable fact, and fairly negligible. However, there are certain instances where it can cause an annoyance, like when you're progressing through Savage, Extreme, or Ultimate content. When you die to content enough times, it can become somewhat costly. And yes, I can confirm that if you die enough times in Eureka, you can lose Elemental Levels (which is Eureka's leveling system).
6:20 - There are still plenty of reasons to create other characters, even having a second account. However, those reasons are more tuned to doing certain activities in the game more efficientky, or more frequently, like gathering more resources that have a limited window for when you can gather them, or having additional retainers for gathering items and having more storage space. A second account can be helpful simply to have a way of moving those resources between your characters and utilizing that additional retainer space. I will admit, however, these reasons are niche, and really only reasons for much more dedicated players to FFXIV, but they are still certainly valid.
7:50 - While it's true that you don't have to send a 'traditional party' out on all missions, and can literally send all DPS if you want, you DO still need tanks and healers, particularly to fill in the gaps for Command Missions in particular, which are essential for increasing your Grand Company rank to 1st LT and Captain. One thing you ALSO don't need is diversified DPS. You can literally have 2 Marauders, 2 Conjurers, and 4 Archers. This will diversify your squadron enough that you can send members out on a mission AND do Command Missions at the same time without needing to worry about filling in specific roles.
Another misconception ive seen is that you need to have completed a duty to *create* a party with status set to [Duty Complete]. You can create a duty complete party at any time, but to join an existing one you must have completed it prior. Hope i didnt just nuke PF lol. Unless this got patched out for DT but I didnt see anything about it.
a note about the adlo shields they will replace but only if they are stronger than the ORIGINAL cast it won't read how much has already been used up but will replace a weaker cast with a stronger cast technically this is true not just for adlo but all shield heals wither from Sage or Scholar
edit noted you talked about using physick for the direct effect but this is where emergency tactics comes in as it will convert the shield into a direct heal note that Sage has similar but theirs works AFTER the cast while Scholar is BEFORE the cast
Honestly, the info is only relevant for really low levels anyway. Once you get skills like lustrate, the "physick or adlo" question goes out the window... just use lustrate! xD At higher levels its basically adlo is great for mob pulls, and it can still have some decent uses, but youll be prioritizing ogcds. But that's a great tip about the shield -- i didnt realize it because it wont overwrite itself if it's full, and in the dungeons i ran while preparing this video, there wasnt really enough outgoing dmg to notice something like that.
@@Aitherea not entirely it is a tool I see people forget for recovery in prog even at max level as you don't always have enough stacks for the situation and as you noted you don't gain anything from shielding a nontank you rezzed that won't take damage in 30s but they do need to be topped for incoming mechanics
the only way you dont need to play more than 1 character is if your playing a lala or you dont like lalas.
i started as cat girl because i had a plan for playing ninja back in the day and i had a character concept of a cat burgler who was a black cat so misfortune always follows her ( i promise noting to do with cat woman, i used to write fantasy stories based on my fav books as a kid and i had a rogue that fit perfectly with the character). i didnt like how lalas looked in the character creater. playing the rogue story there is a fun cute lala and when i made a retainer i made a super cute lala and couldnt resist playing her as a character.
so now i play 2 chars so i can enjoy the story as a serious fighter trying to save the universe and also as a super adorable sarcastic halfling that carries around weapons 5 times her size while riding her trusty steed, a dodo named glen (named after sheldons ostritch from big bang theory because a dodo is the right sized ostrich for her lol)
Actually, you do lose something by dying: Some of the durability on all equipped items. Also, you do get the Weakness / Brink of Death debuff if you do get rezzed.
not to mention the rez curse of dying to a mechanic that goes off after you rez and your first instinct is to run causing you to lose rez invulnerability lol
@@Kwstr42 running will not cause you to lose rez invul, I'm assuming you meant sprint. But if you know the mechs sufficiently in-depth, you can cheese A LOT of stuff with rez invul.
It seems odd that you can only get riding Maps in the post game, but they’re not really useful at that point. If you could get them for GP or side quests before you get all the currents they would be worthwhile now they just seem like a minor speed adjustment so it’s almost flying
That's certainly true of older expansions but SE stopped that as of Shadowbringers with the Gemstones you get from FATES. You have to do at least 5 FATES in a zone to unlock it for purchase from the Gemstone Trader which allows you to enjoy riding at increased speeds BEFORE you're able to fly. Then it's useless again lol
Well there are a few reasons to have alts, but definitely not the same as say WoW, but if you really are into the story you may want to have at least 3 characters in order to see the stories in each of the 3 city states. The important differences end after the level 15 envoy quest.
I am surprised about the Raid Loot thing. I am pretty sure if you do a Roulette while the next day 'begins' it counts for that one. I expected weekly stuff to be similar but good to know it isn't
Yeah the game has different timers for different stuff which can be kinda confusing xD
Gonna need the deets on that glam.

I love when I'm playing DPS and the tank dies to a group so I become a mini tank using any healing moves and shield I have along with arm's length.
If you want anime game that focuses on stories and lore, try Bandai Namcos Tales-series. I personally enjoy Tales of Berseria a lot.
I myself usually use the 3 insta casts after 15secs of PoM, if I know there is some aoes or mechs incoming, since the insta casts are free movement lol
This is one of the best MMOs I have ever played. It's actually an addiction really. I can't stay away from it.
:> Really helpful! Hearing you pronounce the 'J' the hard way in Bozjan hurts hard though LMAOOO
I may be a sprout, but I wouldn't dream of walking into group content without reading a guide first. I also run it in a DPS first before I'd ever try it on a tank, even though I love tanking. I hate not knowing what's going on, and I don't want to let everyone down
For a lot of people, the fun *is* figuring out the mechanics on their own. I cant lie, when new dungeons and raids drop, going in on day 1 when theres no one to follow and no one knows what theyre doing is SUPER fun. So, it's completely up to you whether you prefer to use guides or if you want to enjoy the fun of figuring out the mechs yourself. No one will hold it against you c:
@@Aitherea If I'm comfortable in my role and I have a good group, there's nothing better than going in blind day 1. I'm an endgame raider in another game and it's one of my favorite things. At the same time, I'm doing old content in FFXIV and I'm often the only new person. That's when I look at a guide so I can pull my weight. Even then I'm still a potato
@@Nilandia ahaha well, it's up to you at the end of the day, but i promise the majority of people absolutely dont care and those that do are assholes worthy of a block ;)
When you die you do lose gils as you lose item condition on all your equipement equiped.
Dying actually does consume durablity on your equipment. Tho i could be wrong.
Very nice Video- and i must say- very soothiing voice too! nice to listen to :)
I have never in the history of ever had a single person tell me or anyone else I know that the story isn't worth playing. I mean, the one exception being recently with the first portion of the Dawntrail story.
Hard disagree. None of Dawntrail is worth experiencing. Fuck Wuk Lamat.
Saying Adlo or physick is stronger than the other are both kinda wrong because the situation matters. If youre REALLY hard up for heals to get someone topped back up, spamming adlo is worse, the shield doesnt stack, and the heal potency is lower, plus adlo spam would be a big waste of mp. If youre in a situation where the shield is being depleted every second, then yes the adlo spam is better option, but if youre trying to get someone back to full and the shield is still on them, then you use physick. BUT if you're in a situation where physick spam is necessary, then the run of whatever youre doing is probably already over lol. Also emergency tactics is your friend to of course.
What MMOs did you play that have no stories? All of the ones that I've played have had stories that carry the players to endgame.
I think she means good stories
they technically had stories, but yeah they were so poorly written/disjointed no one actually paid attention to them. any time there was a cut scene people would just skip. The most recent MMO i played with shit story was lost ark xD but id already been an xiv player at that point lol.
The way I use physick is when I need to get the tank healthy while he is taking a serious beating.
I cast aedeloqium first, then follow with Physicks, which heals the HP while the shield is baring the brunt of the assault.
It is mana consuming, but I find it better than spamming adeloquium and overriding thz shield before it depletes.
You really don't need to do that. Your tank is already getting healed by your fairy + natural HP regen. If you need a follow up heal, you're better off waiting till the shield (almost) falls off and casting Adlo again.
@@MatsuzoSF I will try it, but it doesn't seem like a good idea.
Not only does it require an excellent estimation of when the shield will cave in, which is not a given, but it goes against the "Always Be Casting" mentality.
@@Contevent Just cast a damage spell. Also it doesn't matter if the shield fully breaks. If it absorbed more damage than a Physick would have healed for, it's still better to cast the Adlo.
@@MatsuzoSF Well I don't know how to explain it, I just know that in practice, it works.
In emergency adlo+physiks saves the tank while spamming adlo doesn't or waste shielding.
@@Contevent Mathematically that makes no sense. It's adjacent to the whole "wait and use Cure 2 instead of using Cure" thing, but just slightly complicated by part of the "heal" being a shield.
I said it to someone else here, but if a tank is taking damage fast enough to require an immediate follow up heal spell (or heal spamming), they are probably taking more damage between GCDs than Physick will heal for. In that case Adlo is still the correct choice because even if you overwrite part of the shield you still got more mileage out of it than Physick.
Adloquium becomes better than Physick as a pure heal with Emergency Tactics, as it converts the shield potency into healing. You really shouldn't use Physick much after level 58
"Healers don't have to DPS." Technically nobody except one person has to DPS in most content. It's just way way way faster if everybody contributes, and we're all in this together, so please contribute.
I have had nothing but a bad time running a full group of real people when I'm doing dungeons blind. I don't know it, they do because they're getting it on roulette, that's fine, but trying to hunt monsters for my Grand Company ranks and just not knowing the layout of the place or mechanics yet, at least one person per is harassing me to hurry up and showing clear consternation for my not knowing it yet. I absolutely do not believe more experienced players want newer players to have a good time, at least not in the dungeons. I'm a better raider than dungeon runner anyway.
Eureka you can level down from death as you losea chunk of elemental EXP
Huh. I had no idea people just clicked their mouse during active time maneuvers I feel like I'd get too into it and break my mouse eventually.
omg when i first started the game i clicked the mouse and i think i only found out i could use my keyboard on accident LOL
14:00 Please be more informed on Adloquium shields before spreading false information. Adloquium does in fact overwrite weaker versions of the same shield, so you can go ahead and put up another shield before the old one is completely destroyed if the new shield is stronger (from the 3% variance, crit rng, the old shield being damaged, etc.).
Additionally, using Physick as the primary heal on revived players is always one of the worst options you can possibly do, don't take her advice, NEVER do this. There are an extremely low amount of enemy attacks that ignore shields and directly attack hp, so always use Adloquium as your primary gcd heal. If you need the pure hp heal and you have Emergency Tactics, that will automatically convert the shield into a pure heal.
Physick at high levels heals non-tanks for about 14-16% hp and tanks for barely 11% hp, it is so not worth it. Adlo spam can understandably become expensive for mp, so use ogcd heals above everything else unless an incoming attack hits so hard you need the shield padding from Adlo/Succor/Concitation. All SCH ogcd heals cost 0mp, and using Aetherflow to grant yourself 3 stacks of the resource actually RESTORES 2000mp, so you are actually ENCOURAGED to dump the stacks on ogcd heals.
Thanks for the info about the shield -- I wasnt able to figure this out in my own testing, and sometimes you just plain dont know things. How can you even know to ask about or research something that you have no concept of its existence?
That said, the physick vs adlo argument is one that really only applies to lower levels. I wasnt considering stuff like emergency tactics because I was thinking about this from a low level perspective where you dont *have* better skills available to you. Sorry if that wasn't made entirely clear in the video :)
true, i dont lose anything on death but i get really embarrassed
Gets a like for the flower shower lama 👍
P.s. end of video learnt about not having to have 1 tank 1 dps etc leveled for the grandcompany ( so much time wasted but thank you)
P.s.s learnt my white mage maths skills suck use glare 4 is what I got out of it then spam the rest👍
ahaha the simple version for the people who dont need me to prove it is that you can use glare 4 whenever you want, and it's okay to use it while under the effect of presence of mind (theres no loss or gain in doing so). xD just be sure to use it before raid buffs run out IF there are any!
Riding Maps is such an outdated mechanic, they might as well remove it and normalize the mount speed to 2-star.
Misconception: Direct Hit does not affect healing.
Reality: It's true that DH doesn't affect healing, however it's still quite good to meld it on your healer for some extra oomph when you deal damage.
Also, on the topic of Adloquium is always going to be better than Physick since you need to apply Adloquium to use Deployment Tactics, or if used with Emergency Tactics it'll convert the barrier to HP, or in case you use Recitation then Adloquium will always critically heal. The only time you'd ever use Physick is if you're below level 30, but for the most part Embrace from your fairy will be more than enough in the early levels. SCH players should treat Physick the same way BLM players treat Scathe and pretend it doesn't exist.
Unfortunately they sell a mount people explicitly buy for the base two star speed so they don't have to FATE grind immediately in a new area, especially with how slow and competitive it can be at expac launch. If they sunset riding maps, they've basically scammed all the people who bought the mount for actual dollars. Granted I do already find it absolutely egregious that they sell a QoL mount for real money.
@@Necrofitz I have the SDS Fenrir, not because it's a 2-star mount, but because I like the bike. I don't think anyone who actually bought it did it for the QoL, they bought it because it's a nice mount, the perk is just a bonus slapped on top. Nobody buys a mogstation store mount for "convenience", people buy it because they like it.
Besides when you unlock flying in the zones the mount speed is the same for everyone, so the fact that you're upset about it means that you either don't have the mount, or you're the type of player who doesn't pick up the Aether Currents.
@@astrealove2247 I've literally had several people tell me they bought the mount for the speed. I had people in shout chat at the beginning of DT just telling me to buy it for the movement speed.
Pretty sure you're in the minority here just loving the bike design that much.
Also getting so weirdly defensive over what is objectively selling QoL is weird to me. You aren't SE. It's okay.
YOu do get a lot of crap for not liking FF14 story, it's like people HAVE to force you love the story because it's the best story they ever played. I been a gamer for 30 years, I seen every trope and story out there. FF14 is nothing unique in it's story, and you are fine to not like it. I hate every story expansion expect EW, Endwalker just had a lot what I liked, and also of course disliked, is doesn't mean I hate the game, there is always something for everything as FF14 is a game with Massive Content. I also hate how people go out of their way of "You need to watch the guide and spoil yourself" while screaming how they themselves hate spoilers.
You dont know about Eureka its lenient compared to Bozja even after the devs nerfed the place with echo but to quell suspicion you lose exp the higher your lvl is the more you lose you lose no exp if/when raised and its a big if two bc you cant change jobs after you leave camp and the first two areas you cant use logos actions.
Sadly I had bad experience with randoms. Sometimes got XXXXX words. Im now in FC but as new player never will do again any dugeon with randoms.
