Fun fact: In most content vuln stacks cap at 8. Learned this when our FC did a contest to see who could get the most vuln stacks in the Nier bullet hell hallway.
The most I survived was an EW alliance raid tankbuster at 6 vuln stacks. That was using just about everything with my two healers. I died right after to a normal.
Let's be honest, Sprouts are the only way to make roulettes fun. ... that, and watching Hansel & Gretel mow down an entire alliance with their charge. That also never gets old.
The Behemoth disguised as an Ice Wolf in Snowcloak for me. It's beautiful to me how the community always comes together to collectively emote in front of the one person who gets clipped by the freeze aoe.
Play tank, have healer friend. Que leveling and get 2 sprouts. proceed to show the sprout dps an absolute acid trip level of random bullshit. Yes, I am a lala...you knew that already though. We are crazy goblins after all here for the luls.
never ruin a sprouts first time in any dungeon, let them walk around and look, not like you need to rush back to limsa to emote and wait for your next queue you only get 1 first.
Yeah, we had two dungeons yesterday with a friend where the healers were pushing forward while our tank was getting a lay of the land. They didn't appreciate being called out to slow down, either.
I ignored all of Shiva's mechanics while I was tanking her for the first time. I just stayed in the circles and was even frozen solid at the end. I sure hope the healers are recovering well from the PTSD I must've given them.
See, this is why I love FF over any other MMO. The community recognizes (usually) that new people just need time to grow. They encourage that growth actively, and I love that.
Absolutely agreed, I've started a few months ago and got to Heavensward and all I've seen is good things and nice comments from people, no judgement, just a good community that keeps growing.
I always cant help but drop a tear of happiness when I get told "Enjoy the story! sprout :)" it always warms my heart especially after putting my healer through PTSD by running ahead into every mob I see and they still treat me so nice :)
Sprout tank here, my first dungeon was unforgettable. Mostly bc the Ranged (who WASN'T a sprout) pulled a second pack of mobs while i was trying to Provoke and AoE the first one. That healer probably cried a tear of joy that i know where my mit buttons are
That healer is going to look back at that dungeon and appreciate you a lot And he's also going to remember the ranged guy having to make his job harder since he needs to look away from you for a few seconds
Had a sprout call me out on not knowing a mechanic in a dungeon ( something about the restraining collar) and said I had no right to be a mentor if I didn't even know about that mechanic. I just started playing again last week. They thought the return flower was a crown.
They were just saying your play style was.... *Ahem* *Sloppeh* All jokes aside, I myself find it a tad tilting when someone makes it a point to call another player out on not knowing a mechanic in that fashion. Would it kill them to be polite about it?
You don't help somebody grow by letting them do whatever they want. If you really wanted to help them, you'd say to their face how they're fucking up and need to improve.
@@trustytrest i already said this before in a different reply, but I really think that the Hall of Novice should be redone to teach new players about mechanics that they're going to come across later in the game especially if they're not playing a DPS class, since Tanks and Healers have a much higher priority to keep everyone alive as opposed to doing as much damage as possible
@@rysingdragoon8735 The hall of novice does have a tank and healer specific "duties", I did it just the other day as a tank with an alt character for the exp ring. I think the issue is, that sprouts don't know about the hall of novice to begin with. Even though the game does try to push you towards it, I imagine they are overwhelmed by all the information in a new game.
i'm more shocked that he was able to tank anything with that many vulns, my healing wasn't all that great here (i had no idea what assize did prior to this video lmao) i might consider switching to scholar and start spamming galvanizes on tanks from now on
I remember when i was a sprout a dungeon lv50 where a ninja died 21 times, i kept ressing him but i wasnt a great healer and he was even worse at dodging anything. In retrospect he was maybe testing my resolve to see how many times would i rez him
The worst thing you can do to a new healer...is have them pair with a War. the War makes healers kinda...not have to do a lot really. It is best to pair them with a Drk as a true litmus test on how well they heal.
Came in expecting this to be a crap take compilation of "Sprout Moments" Happy I stayed to the end to see that message. Preach brother, we're all on the same journey just at different points :)
I'm not gonna lie, I only realized after posting that I looked like I was slandering the sprout tank lmao We still made it as a team though, and really that's the most important thing in FFXIV
Yeah, great message. I can go into any dungeon as a tank and not use mitigations and spin the boss whatever direction I feel like, and that makes me a great player because I showed up.
@trustytrest twelve grant me strength. It's not that bad, dude. I didn't learn how to play SCH until halfway through StB, even then, it wasn't optimal, I still completed those dungeons. The only way to learn is to do, make those mistakes and learn from it. Once you do it right the first time, you want to do it right every time.
@rysingdragoon8735 you looked like you were slandering them? Lmao my guy it was a great vid with a touching ending, but it didn't look like that, it was that. You were directly slandering them.
When I started I was on a very sh!tty pc, took me a while to realise that the lagging was making me see obvious AoEs so late that I couldn't dodge many of them (I remember that even Porta Decumana felt pretty hard to me, I have no idea how I've been able to go thro BA like that xD died 3 times of course). Eventually I've been able to get a PS5, and o m g, everything was suddently so easy. I don't know if this might be the case, but everytime I see someone not able to dodge basic AoEs, first thought is that maybe they're playing on a sh!tty machine like I was. Gosh, I must've been healers' nightmare for like 6 months x)
Honestly though, if a tank can pretty much stand in all the mechanics and live, the content needs to hit harder. Letting them know they don't need to try enables bad habits, and makes a bad player in the long run, and then we have PF memes later on. I wish, sometimes, the community wasn't so "D'awww, you get a trophy anyway."
I can see that point, but a majority of FFXIV instances come from the MSQ, and those take it pretty easy since it's part of the story i do think something like the hall of novice could use a lot more work though, all they really teach sprouts are how to avoid slow AOEs, and they don't tell them anything on what to do when a stack marker appears over their head
@@trustytrest That was me...I was that War that had to handle a healer that did that! I know for a fact I healed the DPS more than that healer did. That was not a fun ride.
I love being a tank cuz people always wait for me to finish cutscenes... Cant say the same about healer or dps, but I do get a satisfaction when the party dies cuz they started while I was in a cutscene
If I am on scholar I just go "Pull what you want, I'll tell you to stop if you reach the capacity of this level's capability to handle" Most sprouts pull small even when told that. Some pull big and are shocked I never say stop. I tank main and remember which dungeons experience a damage jump that limits pull sizes (I don't remember the names, I remember them visually heh).
Ngl, I love situations like this. It ups the difficulty level, and makes me feel more engaged. When I'm a healer and the tank is newbie, or dies a lot, or when I'm tank and healer dies and I have to heal/mit the whole party to down the boss... Man what a rush.
i had a lot of fun playing this dungeon, it actually gave me a bit of a skill check trying to keep the tank alive (i never used assize once because i didn't know what it did at the time) being the healer is tough if you don't know how to manage your party or heals, hence the beginning clip
Oh that dungeon.... Where I traumatised a first time healer bc I currently only have 15fps and aoes show up with a delay, so it's very hard to evade them. I'm very sorry little one.
whenever you see a sprout doing something weird or wrong, give them one piece of advice. if you say nothing they may never learn anything, and if you drown them in tutorials none of it will stick and they'll feel patronised.
I usually, if I notice problems, ask the sprout if they mind advice, making sure to then clarify I am genuinely asking and mean no ill intent usually, they are more than happy to hear (and take) said advice. I usually keep it fairly simply based on class, and they're usually very happy to implement it. (when I say simple, I even mean stuff like 'remember to AOE, turn boss away from enemeis while tanking, don't feel obligated to spam heal/your job is keep me alive not at 100%' kinda advice. For that last one, I do also make sure to clarify that the game later on is balanced around healers also DPSing, and that usually helps them understand. always such a good feeling watching someone learn and happily take advice. makes me smile cuz I remember my friend taking me through the entire game for the first time. I remember how nice it was getting advice and finding friendly players :3
As sprout I want to thank the community for their kindness and patience, I never liked mmos because people have always been aggressive or mean when I tried to make content, go from lost ark where everyone is selfish and they filter you to make content and They insult you and even if it is your first time they expect you to know all the mechanics, to go through ffXIV where people are kind and willing to teach you and forgive your mistakes is something comforting, it is the first mmo in which I am willing to invest time and money because it is a place where I really feel welcome. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I'm a sprout healer... I walked off a platform last night and then everyone else died... everyone was nice about it. I was shocked and had to heal myself from the shock.
I lol'ed at the thumbnail just because way back when I first started playing, I thought Marauder was DPS. I didn't know about the class colors and I never imagined a tank using a 2h axe, lol. Quickly switched to Monk once I figured it out and that has been my main since ARR.
@@Nempo13 yeah, but I've enjoyed all the changes so far, and it hasn't been too difficult to learn the changes. I've got most of the classes at 90 by now and Monk is still my favorite to play so far.
We were all sprouts once, I know I made silly mistakes when I was new back in the HW era. I make sure to be as patient as possible with them, and always chat with them to make sure they're having a good time.
Sprout tank here. Can says sometime I do have overthink minds if I might let down my party when its on my first time dungeon / trials, afraid if I make mistakes and disturb the flow of the others if I did something wrong without my realization. Yet its some nice experience to see others does guide me on the map when I felt loss the way or teach me to Wall to wall pulls.
I proudly was able to keep a party alive as an AST with a sprout tank in Aurum Vale. Tbh it's a good challenge to get spicy runs as a healer nowadays instead of just spamming my single damage button. Having legit sprouts really is a fun time for me. It also reminds me how much I have grown when I notice the rookie mistakes hehe
I wish I was joking, the one mechanic I never got was 'the stage turn'. Danger shoots in a ray. I ran over to where I thought the table would turn. Spun around, saw everyone else on the other side. Me: "...okay, only once." 3 times later, "OH COME ON!!! How can I get NONE of these but LITERALLY DODGE EVERYTHING ELSE!?" After a while, the raid felt bad for me. I just can't get that mechanic.
This guy is famous, he is doing thaleia now days, but I really think he is some kind of proffessional troll, he always go for the telegraphs and make sure to dont dodge anything. Also, aways when possible, he stack his tankbuster aoe on party healers.
0:22 ngl dude your scared the shit out of me with the zoom in the tanks healthbar cause i was cause i was expecting that the sprout tank takes his stance of 😱😓
When I first played ff 14 back on ps3 release I had never played an mmo before and I didn’t realise I was playing a tank class as gladiator till like level 40. I was like, why is everyone in the dungeon always waiting for me?
This tank is actually playing old school coz you didn't do dungeons with defiance due to the dps loss, i know i did, like maybe for the initial pull but then deliverance, bloodbath and aoe those mobs. Fun times that i miss
"What do they mean when they say stance? w/e its not my problem. I dont know what mitigations are and I don't care. I should be allowed to play however i want and you can deal with it lol"
"We were all sprouts" definitely, and these days people are super cool about it. Back when i started it was so different. Ill never forget the first time i was in tamtara the tank cussed me out then rage quit because i was single targetting the mobs. Got cussed out quite a bit (learning healer and tank mostly) before things started to click. Was kicked out of my first ex trial, and ended up leaving a T5 prog group after being singled out the whole run. Hated going through that so i learned the nuances of the job, combat in general (server tick, rotations, etc.), gearing, studying fights and ended up clearing t9, t13, and the original savage fights before echo. Anyways, old man stories aside its really nice seeing how this communities mindset around new player's has changed.
The dungeon thing sucks, but in a raid I think it's appropriate to an extent (given that you didn't know your job or mechanics well and it wasn't just them pointing fingers at you while fucking up themselves). Still happens today. But imo, if you don't call it out, they never learn so it's just about being civil and fair with criticism.
To be fair, even some pro tanks forget about stance, since when you are at max level and go to a lower leveled dungeon, the game automatically switches it off for some odd reason. Though part of my Tank experience was screaming out for the guy to use Mits. 😂
I main Paladin & Warrior and now I've started to learn White Mage too. Regen paired with Asylum is my best friend. Bonus: If I fire off a Medica 2 they'll get another regen-bonus as well. If the tank die after that? Then it's honestly on them. x'D
@@th0rne_999 it’s dps neutral 3 GCDs is the same dps as blood lily. But regardless, WHM has the easiest healing and most never heal. Which is why I never rank WHM as a brain dead healer. Because some people and by some I mean most, find a way to make something brain dead difficult.
being new to a game is such a whimsical experience that you get to go through only once, since you're learning a lot, but you're also having fun regardless if you know the mechanics or not
Me seeing a Sprout doing Mistakes: "Dont worry.. we all had to learn it once :) " Me seeing a "Mentor" doing really bad mistakes: "You are a fucking disappointment!"
i am very fortunate to not come across the "mentors" that only signed up for the crown and nothing else, and also not know how to play their game there's a reason why they're on the bottom of the ffxiv hierarchy
@@rysingdragoon8735 Its a rare case, and tbh also Mentor are allowed to make mistakes because we are all humans in the end, but i meet some mentors how Show really bad gameplay and absolutly not a example for other players.. like letting Player die as Healer because doing damage is more importent (i know healer must also to damage but when player dies just because you want to push your logs, you are bad in your job) or Tanks how playing aggro pingpong for no reason.. or a party in a dungeon with me (Tank with Mentor Status but dont show the crown because of the bad reputation) one crafting mentor dps.. one crafting and pve mentor dps.. and also a healer sprout.. in the end im explaining the healer sprout how the Tank invulvs work while the mentors just like "i dont get paid for this shit!" (The healer was scared because i drop to 1 out of "nowhere" because Gunbreaker Invulv)
the fact that he's a Paladin proves that he should know better. if he was a DRK, I'd be a bit more forgiving, since "DRK is my first Tank" sprouts tend to not be as familiar with tanking as MRD/GLD Sprouts.
as a tank i love to give my healer ptsd by rushing mass pull mobs😂. but dont worry. no one died yet.(thanks to my tank ocd and potions) and my healers seems quite adaptive and pro with it 😝
My character will forever have the sprout over her tiny head it seems. Im into shadowbringers now and she still has it. I will say i am a veteran MMO player but new to FF14. Always wonder how folks felt to have a tank with the sprout over their heads. As for ke tanking...think ive only died twice so far during the games content. Im sure that will change as i go farther i to the storylines though hehe.
Sprite here. Only been playing for about 2 months now and I’m nearly ready to begin playing with others. Once I get paladin ready. I usually always play medic whenever I play online games so this will be interesting. I joined a free company a week ago and once I’m ready they’ll more than happy allow me to join routlettes. Then I can ask them to critique the crap out of me. Like make it your goal to make me cry.

As sprout I want to thank the community for their kindness and patience, I never liked mmos because people have always been aggressive or mean when I tried to make content, go from lost ark where everyone is selfish and they filter you to make content and They insult you and even if it is your first time they expect you to know all the mechanics, to go through ffXIV where people are kind and willing to teach you and forgive your mistakes is something comforting, it is the first mmo in which I am willing to invest time and money because it is a place where I really feel welcome.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I felt the same way when I joined!
Yeah I would of hated to be that tank. The healer never used assize, a free heal and damage button
You ever just look at a button and think "there's literally no reason not to push this as often as possible?"
@@Gloomdraketrue
Only tonight did I start using it more, right in-between DPS focused holy spam
I used to tank in DPS stance as Warrior and stance dance as needed, the good ole days when tanking required skill.
Me, a paladin tank sprout with naught but a single braincell: "I'm learnding!"
I'm a sprout healer... I walked off a platform last night and then everyone else died... everyone was nice about it. I was shocked and had to heal myself from the shock.
Leaving and returning to the game is like being a sprout all over again. I’m eternally baby ❤
How can be this an mmo community? As someone that almost only played wow its astonishing.
Now you made me want to try the game again.
God speed you fresh tank.
I lol'ed at the thumbnail just because way back when I first started playing, I thought Marauder was DPS. I didn't know about the class colors and I never imagined a tank using a 2h axe, lol. Quickly switched to Monk once I figured it out and that has been my main since ARR.
You main Monk? Oh you poor masochist. Monk and Bard gets a rework every single expansion.
@@Nempo13 yeah, but I've enjoyed all the changes so far, and it hasn't been too difficult to learn the changes. I've got most of the classes at 90 by now and Monk is still my favorite to play so far.
We were all sprouts once, I know I made silly mistakes when I was new back in the HW era. I make sure to be as patient as possible with them, and always chat with them to make sure they're having a good time.
Sprout tank here.
Can says sometime I do have overthink minds if I might let down my party when its on my first time dungeon / trials, afraid if I make mistakes and disturb the flow of the others if I did something wrong without my realization.
Yet its some nice experience to see others does guide me on the map when I felt loss the way or teach me to Wall to wall pulls.
I play healer because I’m a stress addict. A tank like this would satisfy my addiction for a whole week.
I mean this in the best way possible.
I am a fresh sprout, honest wow exile, and moderately clueless! Hooray! :D
I proudly was able to keep a party alive as an AST with a sprout tank in Aurum Vale. Tbh it's a good challenge to get spicy runs as a healer nowadays instead of just spamming my single damage button. Having legit sprouts really is a fun time for me. It also reminds me how much I have grown when I notice the rookie mistakes hehe
I wish I was joking, the one mechanic I never got was 'the stage turn'.
Danger shoots in a ray. I ran over to where I thought the table would turn. Spun around, saw everyone else on the other side.
Me: "...okay, only once."
3 times later, "OH COME ON!!! How can I get NONE of these but LITERALLY DODGE EVERYTHING ELSE!?"
After a while, the raid felt bad for me. I just can't get that mechanic.
The other day i was healing and witnessed a mellee redmage
Bless ‘em, they’re trying. Nobody actively wants to be bad or to waste their and everybody else’s time.
This guy is famous, he is doing thaleia now days, but I really think he is some kind of proffessional troll, he always go for the telegraphs and make sure to dont dodge anything. Also, aways when possible, he stack his tankbuster aoe on party healers.
0:22 ngl dude your scared the shit out of me with the zoom in the tanks healthbar cause i was cause i was expecting that the sprout tank takes his stance of 😱😓
When I first played ff 14 back on ps3 release I had never played an mmo before and I didn’t realise I was playing a tank class as gladiator till like level 40. I was like, why is everyone in the dungeon always waiting for me?
This tank is actually playing old school coz you didn't do dungeons with defiance due to the dps loss, i know i did, like maybe for the initial pull but then deliverance, bloodbath and aoe those mobs. Fun times that i miss
Exactly why I'll never not play healer. Players are too unpredictable. They either know a fight well or they pretend to have no legs at all
I take pleasure in helping them learn
And that is why I only play solo as a sprout.
1:01
-tank is dying
-healer stone spams
Accurate WHM gameplay right there.
tbh, I'm happy when a tank does my job harder, I would fall asleep if it weren't for them
It's all fun and games until you get a sprout tank and healer. In Aurum Vale.
We’re doing our best
I don't play XIV but this community makes me wanna play it so bad
it does have a good story tbf, i highly recommend giving the free trial a spin and see what you think about it
You've got nothing to lose, except hundreds of hours.
The free trial goes all the way to stormblood, lvl 70 and all that fun stuff. (As of patch 6.5)
I didn't even know stacks went past 5 xD
Some sprouts... grow faster than others.
"What do they mean when they say stance? w/e its not my problem. I dont know what mitigations are and I don't care. I should be allowed to play however i want and you can deal with it lol"
"We were all sprouts" definitely, and these days people are super cool about it. Back when i started it was so different. Ill never forget the first time i was in tamtara the tank cussed me out then rage quit because i was single targetting the mobs. Got cussed out quite a bit (learning healer and tank mostly) before things started to click. Was kicked out of my first ex trial, and ended up leaving a T5 prog group after being singled out the whole run. Hated going through that so i learned the nuances of the job, combat in general (server tick, rotations, etc.), gearing, studying fights and ended up clearing t9, t13, and the original savage fights before echo.
Anyways, old man stories aside its really nice seeing how this communities mindset around new player's has changed.
The dungeon thing sucks, but in a raid I think it's appropriate to an extent (given that you didn't know your job or mechanics well and it wasn't just them pointing fingers at you while fucking up themselves). Still happens today.
But imo, if you don't call it out, they never learn so it's just about being civil and fair with criticism.
To be fair, even some pro tanks forget about stance, since when you are at max level and go to a lower leveled dungeon, the game automatically switches it off for some odd reason.
Though part of my Tank experience was screaming out for the guy to use Mits. 😂
I main Paladin & Warrior and now I've started to learn White Mage too. Regen paired with Asylum is my best friend.
Bonus: If I fire off a Medica 2 they'll get another regen-bonus as well. If the tank die after that? Then it's honestly on them. x'D
King did try to press mitigation button
Bruh, this one reason I don't heal. I tank as paladin and I do my best to be more aware.
It was amazing to see a white mage actually heal as well
It always baffles me when they don't, since using the lilies is straight-up a damage boost.
Chaotic stupid fr.
@@th0rne_999 it’s dps neutral 3 GCDs is the same dps as blood lily. But regardless, WHM has the easiest healing and most never heal. Which is why I never rank WHM as a brain dead healer. Because some people and by some I mean most, find a way to make something brain dead difficult.
Christ, I would of hated to be that sprout getting ragged about
the prominence spam on nidhogg broke me, man i wish i was a sprout again LOL
being new to a game is such a whimsical experience that you get to go through only once, since you're learning a lot, but you're also having fun regardless if you know the mechanics or not
Can relate even with non sprouts sometimes, being a healer main and clearing every ultimate...
Me seeing a Sprout doing Mistakes: "Dont worry.. we all had to learn it once :) "
Me seeing a "Mentor" doing really bad mistakes: "You are a fucking disappointment!"
i am very fortunate to not come across the "mentors" that only signed up for the crown and nothing else, and also not know how to play their game
there's a reason why they're on the bottom of the ffxiv hierarchy
@@rysingdragoon8735 Its a rare case, and tbh also Mentor are allowed to make mistakes because we are all humans in the end, but i meet some mentors how Show really bad gameplay and absolutly not a example for other players.. like letting Player die as Healer because doing damage is more importent (i know healer must also to damage but when player dies just because you want to push your logs, you are bad in your job) or Tanks how playing aggro pingpong for no reason.. or a party in a dungeon with me (Tank with Mentor Status but dont show the crown because of the bad reputation) one crafting mentor dps.. one crafting and pve mentor dps.. and also a healer sprout.. in the end im explaining the healer sprout how the Tank invulvs work while the mentors just like "i dont get paid for this shit!" (The healer was scared because i drop to 1 out of "nowhere" because Gunbreaker Invulv)
the fact that he's a Paladin proves that he should know better. if he was a DRK, I'd be a bit more forgiving, since "DRK is my first Tank" sprouts tend to not be as familiar with tanking as MRD/GLD Sprouts.
How does one even evolve from being a sprout having a bunch of classes leveling them up and being able to play any role don't do it?
Benediction exists to make your life easier, use it.
nice
as a tank i love to give my healer ptsd by rushing mass pull mobs😂.
but dont worry. no one died yet.(thanks to my tank ocd and potions) and my healers seems quite adaptive and pro with it 😝
i used to be a sprout.
I am definitely that one sprout that gives healers a massive headache XD
And then you have the sprout healers….. My friend complains I play to much on warrior and there is a reason why I do.
Please tell me I didn’t see that guy using his aoe combo on nidhogg…👀
My character will forever have the sprout over her tiny head it seems. Im into shadowbringers now and she still has it. I will say i am a veteran MMO player but new to FF14. Always wonder how folks felt to have a tank with the sprout over their heads. As for ke tanking...think ive only died twice so far during the games content. Im sure that will change as i go farther i to the storylines though hehe.
Sprite here. Only been playing for about 2 months now and I’m nearly ready to begin playing with others. Once I get paladin ready. I usually always play medic whenever I play online games so this will be interesting. I joined a free company a week ago and once I’m ready they’ll more than happy allow me to join routlettes. Then I can ask them to critique the crap out of me. Like make it your goal to make me cry.
I rolled healer as a sprout because I'm a masochist and I hate myself (:
