oh hey it's the "Stare at your bars and wait for procs" class

Fuck off tank babby, pressing 123 takes no skill

>He plays a DD

It's certainly not MCH.

It is now that they got rid of the casting turrent buillshit in HW.

What the fuck was Yoshi-P thinking

As bad as that was to deal with, Empyreal Arrow being an oGCD casted skill was fucking retarded.

He was thinking "please unsub"

If we had a player base the size of WoW there would be an army of autists up in arms chimping out that they COMPLETELY changed the play style of a job

probably BLM, too bad it's been shit for years

Bards wanted higher dps and they gave it to them but in exchange for taking away their mobility.

I thought no one liked bowmage bard.

I still have never gotten to the top.

Fun is subjective.

I'd comment on how this isn't true for tanks, but I just recalled Stormblood made PLD the preferred tank.

Shit, it wasn't that long ago people entered searches for DRK/WAR only.

This is your bard for the night

No that's NIN

Just marry/recruit-a-friend someone that can. ez

2 years ago maybe

>Alisaie outright wants the WoL's dick/vag
what is it about us that attract elves.

Elves? All I see in that pic is a giraffe

dont be mean, her and Alphy haven't grown into their necks yet.

platforming in a game not designed for platforming is the definition of not fun.

MCH is fun

>do same shit as last expansion
>just a little faster
yeah really lovin all the nothing we got

youtube.com/watch?v=Z7hgJnnEyzw

we do even less, what are you talking about?

its still fun even if HW mch was superior in nearly every way

>we do even less
im being generous. the point is that the basics of our "rotation" didn't really get changed up. just some new animations and a skill you barely use every minute. its fucking boring

I don't see how it 'not being designed for platforming' matters. You memorize it until you get it. So what if the landing detection is off a bit; you adjust. If you jump from the right spot with the right amount of force, it'll always work. It's not like platforms are disappearing due to bugs - you just did it wrong.

Mnk says hi

He didn't say it was not possible. He said it was not fun.

post glamours

Bard feels busy, but incredibly unsatisfying in terms of animations. I'd say even as a 60 MNK, I find it a lot more fun than BRD.

Probably just doesn't like platform games, then.

Or just likes the super easy stuff like Mario where you can adjust your path mid jump and all of the platforms are huge so you have a load of margin for error.

this. everything bard does looks limp, sounds limp and you having to jump between 400 parts of the ui doesn't help
the gameplay sucks as well. just press buttons as they light up

Just remember that the collision box is slightly bigger compared to your character model, probably because it's much easier to have a generic one for each race/gender, and you'll be fine.

the bard song changes were good, but everything else sucks. The job needs more songs honestly

Watching those fat bara roes go tumbling down was the highlight of stormblood,

Every single job in XIV is unfun, static and bloated.

>tfw you actually want more platforming required bosses in XIV beyond T1 & Shinryu

The platforming is shit because jumping has momentum but character acceleration is like 5 frames so it's a super pain to control your speed while keeping your jump off point precise.

Also putting platforms where you need to jump around the corner of a building where the hitboxes are oversized, Jesus Christ fuck you.

I think it really boils down to a buncha kiddies who are used to Mario giving you so much leeway that you can't figure out a game where you actually have to have precise control.

>Bard music coming on Nov 21st

nonononoNONONONO
it's supposed to be next week
delete this

Stop projecting

dumb crippled.

>Leveling BRD on a roe
>tfw most bows for them are the size of a yumi or Anor Londo archer bow
It was cool for like five bows but this is fucking ridiculous

Anyone have a MCH flowchart? Just started with it for the first time since HW (now 64) and I barely know what I'm doing. Like do I only use Cooldown if I'm nearing 100 Heat and Wildfire isn't coming up soon, maybe during an Overheat? Try to time every Overheat with Wildfire? Avoid using ammo until Heated?

>the city of you

why is everyone excited about this? you won't be able to play anything good, it'll be a hotbar full of "notes" not an actual programmable song player.

Objectively the best class is FSH.

High tier - BTN, MIN
Crafter Cuck tier - All crafters
Plays an easy, casual mmo for the combat laughing at your life tier - Everything else

Because they think they're getting something like Mabinogi's MMD or LOTRO's ABC

>cleared o4s
>have the mount
>will likely get the weapon this week if i dont get cucked
>no interest in joining a static for ultimate
what should i do? i'm so bored

Crap, I meant MML.

yoshi already shot down the hopes of .abc's, which is a shame because I have a ton of those already.

Provided the 2.5 GCD isn't on the notes, you can potentially play songs if you have enough notes, and can change the pitch etc. and you aren't so shit that you can't play an instrument. I mean, come on user, surely you know the basics of reading music and playing an instrument?

What is it with the FFXIV community and players who play literal sameface AND EVEN glamor characters (usually catsluts and lizards) who still act like their character is somehow unique?

>Paladin
Pretty good, 4.0 changed enough where they're pretty great and CDs for DAYS
>Warrior
Most fun Tank to play generally. Pairs well with DPS, self-sustaining allowing less stress for healers, and the general go-to off-tank
>Dark Knight
Was really fun. 4.0 changed a lot and simplified things (Better for some, worse for most). Salted Earth is still the best thing DK has and Bloodspiller is a fine addition. Needs work.
>White Mage
I miss Esuna pretty badly. Still though, the big heals is very satisfying.
>Scholar
Only played in 3.X, so I have no idea how it's like in 4.0
>Astrologian
Same as SCH
>Black Mage
Big Dick Damage, but is pretty boring to play and the game actively hates you
>Summoner
They changed so much about Summoner that I left it by the wayside as my Magic Main at SB launch. Haven't touched it since
>Red Mage
More versatile, better balance, pretty much an upgrade from BLM
>Bard
Really cool, the songs change-up was the best thing done for the job. An always busy job as there's always something to do.
>Machinist
Haven't played since 3.0, didn't it get nerfed heavily?
>Ninja
Still great, still fun, always busy, no real downsides unless you don't like the aesthetic.
>Monk
Nothing really changed since 3.0, still sucks. Also the job quest was eh.
>Dragoon
Ruined the job despite simplifying things. FnC/WT still should be one button. Who cares about positionals⸮
>Samurai
What Monk should have been instead of Sanic. Nothing really needs to be changed aside potency of certain skills

>What needs to be added?
-For God's sake, someone to either change how Monk helps the group or add jobs that compliment it.
-Aesthetically: You have Melee Physical DPS, Ranged Physical, & Ranged Magic. Even listed as such in the game. So where is Melee Magic? You also have enemies in the game with certain weapons that can't be done similarly with the WoL.
-Reality is if you want more abilities, the PvP system will be standard in 5.0 because Controller players.

i'd be excited if i could plug my midi keyboard into it and play songs the way they're meant to be played. i don't even mind the lack of presets because everybody and their mother will inevitably recite the same shit copy pasted off of someone else

if you thought the snowflake there was bad you haven't seen what the human race players are like

It's the hair color and certain changes like having ZR stockings with the Shisui chest rather than not wearing any stockings at all.

I swear to god every female AuRa I see has that same downy looking face.

You don't think Mary Jane with her Thavnarian/bunny stockings slutglam is unique? Don't you know she has Heterochromia and a tragic past in her back story! She's even a futa

I have, four times.
One was getting the sightseeing log at the top of it, three were when 4.1 launched and they put the sightseeing log on the top of that lightpole that you have to jump from the tower.

While it'd be great if the game supported it naturally, you could get around that by putting each note in a hotbar slot (of which there are about 240 per character if you factor in shared hotbars, with 120 unique per class and 120 shared between each class), and then mapping your keyboard to the equivalent note on your hotbar.

yeah its fun and all but can be frustrating if you want a good parse
2300 crit and I had a shinryu fight where I had exactly ONE tick on WM, its garbage. Were so reliant on crit procs that its a total gamble whether you do high damage or not. I would much rather it reward quick thinking and proper execution than throw the dice and hope for the best. Some RNG is fine but this can be done better.
Id much rather the steady dps flow of a HW brd

it's the customization options
the default for all faces is downy and most people don't go further than changing the color palettes and slapping led eyes on it

Only RNG shit I hate in the current bard is Refulgent proc.

This one specifically.
I don't know what draws AuRa players to it so much but I think it is the worst possible default face.

Give me the stereotypes of every single job and the players who play them.

>he plays this absolute trash 'mmorpg'

Stay mad, poorfag

I think its the horns. the other horn styles are shit, and since they are tied to the face you are stuck with shitty face if you want those nicer horns.

it's the best if customized properly
people can't do that
thin lips and droopy eyes will always look bad
that's why face 4 looks like shit because no matter what you do that's what you get

It has the smallest horn things. As we all know the ffxiv playerbase consists mostly of horny permavirgin weebs who dont want different, unique and interesting races, they want animesluts to fap to. Yoshi might as well remove that little bit thats supposed to make female AuRa diffrent different to normal humans and no one would care.

I have to ask, being someone who wants to cosplay a dragon maid, are the ifrit horns good for it or are there better horns in the game?

>PLD: Newbie
>WAR: That one guy who centers himself around fflogs
>DRK: Edgelord

>WHM: Beta or woman
>SCH: Obsesses over DPS more than healing
>AST: Woman who gets a lot of attention

>MNK: OBSESSED over Ninja

More like least intrusive horns
Having two baguettes next to a small head on a small framed character is just beyond retarded

>AST: Woman who gets a lot of attention
this is scarily accurate

>>Red Mage
>More versatile, better balance, pretty much an upgrade from BLM

RDM is useful in solo content, DF shit, and fate farming solo but that's it really. Any competent group won't need its spot healing and insta-raises and therefore would be better off with something more powerful

I only have mine at 70 because I main BRD and FUCK doing MSQ duties as BRD

>paladin
im entitled and you are doing things my way

>warrior
im only here for """"""""""damage""""""""

>whm
im the least preferred healer but I pretend everyone loves me

>sam

>ninja
I dont know how to align things with trick attack

>monk
I dont exist and if I do , im here to do sub par damage then leave group

>DRG
Floormops
>SAM
Loud as fuck
>AST
used to be pic related
>MNK
useless to everyone but themselves

>cricket
World first, bitches

So were 7 other jobs.

So, when you use skills as any job, does your toon make any noise?

Yes?

>toon

>SAM
>Loud as fuck
I've had several tanks bitch about the noise in melee range when grouped with multiple SAM's, its hilarious.

what's the difference between the prog and speedkill meta?

MCH is a fucking mess until you get the lvl 66 and 70 skills to properly handle your rotation. That way you can make 100% sure that you're always above 50 heat and can instantly go into overheat as soon as Wildfire comes up again.

is flamethrower outside of the opener good as an ogcd heat adjust to get on track for a overheated wildfire?

prog is entirely for learning the fight, so expect to see "safe" jobs like WHM or RDM (for quick raises)

speedkill groups pick certain jobs to maximize dps and kill the boss as fast as possible once everyone has the fight on farm

>doing neverwhere with two sams
my ears never recovered i was one of them

I can't wait for people to make 8-Mans of SAMs being loud at the same time.

>prog
usually doing safer things, like popping defensive cooldowns earlier, not worrying so much about damage and focusing on mechanics

>speedkill
discussing as a group what to do and when to pop things and plan every single part of the fight for optimal damage. they align all buffs and debuffs together and focus on pure damage which tends to be more risky.

You have to use Flamethrower to overheat for WF rotation.

not even the best horns

The flamethrower is a must to ensure you're going into overheat right as your next Wildfire comes up, it's pretty much part of your rotation. Also it's not bad for dungeon AoE.

>Also it's not bad for dungeon AoE.
>3 aoes pop up as soon as I start channeling Flamethrower
Literally worse experience than BLM

I've been stuck on this for 10 minutes, who the fuck do I pick?
