Another great guide, Wesk - thank you very much for all your effort and hard work, these guides are gold. Looking forward to the DRK. Thanks again, mate.

Minor thing also that can be useful for boss tanking: Primal rend and Inner chaos/Chaotic cyclone force a crit heal with bloodwhetting which can mean that instead of healing 1600 potency over 4 gcd is more like 2320 potency if you crit heal 3 gcds (with current best in slot crit modifiers is around 60% more damage/heal with crits)

I don't nearly play every class in this game but your guides are so good and detailed I can come check out a specific ability of a class and know exactly what it does. For example, I can check out the invulnerabilities of the tanks so I know how to play around them when I'm playing healer. These guides are so incredibly helpful, thank you so much!

Juz wanna say yr guide is by far the best. Detailed, clear and nicely done. Thx

Really appreciate this, never got far enough in an MMO to really have to worry about these sort of things so jumping back into 14 after years, I find this sort of from the ground up explanation really useful.

Of all the guides on KZread your series has helped me understand classes i had no clue how to start

me, who beat current savage tier on WAR: "ah, perfect"

Thank you for these well-presented class guides. I came back to FFXIV about three months ago. In 2018 WAR was my main. Upon returning, I was literally afraid to tank. This due to my prolonged absence. I had forgotten much regarding various dungeon mechanics and the WAR has evolved since 2018. So, you taught me to play SMN, currently wrapping up MSQ. I really missed tanking and now I have your guide to help me get my tank legs back. 👍

(I love The Balance, don't get me wrong, but the way they word things confuses me so much)

Quite literally just started Maurader a couple minutes ago. What great timing

I use your guides all the time. Thank you for the time you spent on them.

Little tip: If you won't need vengence later, pop it after heavy swing during the opener, it gets potion+raid buffs. It is even back up for 3 min buffs Wait, wrong expansion. Anyways, its a nice little 285 potency on average. It's usually the best moment to use it for damage as the bosses like to cast (so no attack to counter) at 10s interavals (talking about the current door boss in the last fight of the tier specificially), however you have about 20s during the start where they just auto, so counter hits go brrrrt.

Not sure how many times I've commented on this vid but just a quick comment to to say that the thumbnail is hilarious, literally cheers me up every time I see it 🤣

Not wrong about overpower. Weeks on and I'm still using it malms away from the targets I intended to hit...

great guide

Thanks!

Inner release as anti knockback works great for unsynced e4s but yeah its really niche and it felt cursed af doing that

I wanna point out a trick nobody seems to notice: Your heals on Raw Intuition/Bloodwhetting are autocrits too when you use your Infuriate special attacks

I don't know if this makes much difference above level 70, but at least at level 70, I've noticed that I can use Inner Release quite early and still hold on to Fell Cleave stacks until after Storm's Eye. This is unlike Berserk where the next three gcds spend the three stacks. The only reason I would see Inner Release be delayed a little is if I expect an incoming debuff just beyond the first 15-16s of combat.

So what do you do after the opener? Does it loop or do you just spam combos until you generate enough to fell cleave while you wait for your cooldowns to come back?

15:38 Is no one going to mention the fact Arm's Length doesn't work with Vengeance active? Warrior is the third tank I'm leveling to 90 and felt something was off about it for a while before noticing my arm's length was straight up not applying the slow to enemies. I never had this problem with other tanks using the 30% DR cooldown plus arm's length together, but since I guess Vengeance has the added effect of causing spike damage, it doesn't apply the slow from arm's length? Even Google searching this bug I literally only found one thread talking about it.

My theory is Vengeance is coded at higher priority, because some engine limitation means there's only one possible Reflect up at a time. Order of pressing them does not seem to matter. It's definitely something to do purely with the reflect, as you can still ignore Knockbacks with Arm's.

I have been black mage since i started 5 weeks ago but I figured I'd let another class and it's marauder and I really enjoy it... berserk plus damage reduction is up my alley. I prefer solo with tanks cuz black mages is not fun when your out numbered

I dunno if I'd agree with conal AoE being superior to circular AoE for Overwhelm. Of course I got used to it as I leveled, but I much preferred the other tanks' circular AoE attacks more than the cone, and never thought it synergized well with Mythril Tempest, since Tempest is a circular combo action. I understand if you prefer The Dreaded Cone™ instead, there is something to be said about always being ahead of a pack rather than dead set in the middle of it.

@WeskAlber

2 жыл бұрын

Turn Tempest into a cone then. Due to how geometry tends to work out, a wide cone often ends up being effectively bigger even if the area is smaller. The range of overpower made it amazing for hit and run in wall to wall pulls. Instead of having to tomahawk because enemies were spread apart too far for a circle, you'd just Overpower and keep running. Picking the furthest enemy, you'd hit all of them. It makes sense for all your aoe to be the same shape, but as a DRG main I've become extremely proficient at aiming lines and cones. And also as you say, it is good when you are NOT in the middle of enemies for safety. On top of: Its better tanking. Even with PLD/etc needing to be in the middle of enemies to maximize AoE, you want you group up the enemies first do they're a tight pack. This is a key step a LOT of players miss with tunneling into "I want enemies all around me." So not only could cones hit more enemies, you and your entire party would hit more enemies because of better corralling.

@manadrivexl

2 жыл бұрын

@@WeskAlber I hadn't even thought of changing Tempest, that would have been a great idea. If OP & MT were both conal, there would be such less confusion about AoE; all you'd have to do is ask yourself if you were playing as WAR, and always know to position yourself ahead of a pack if the answer was yes. Only times to break that new rule would be for the AoE gauge spenders, which generally have a long enough radius to hit most mobs you already covered with your normal cones. As it is, Square have already thrown themselves in with the Circle gang, so c'est la vie. Remember when Rockbiter was a cone? I don't remember the day it changed, but I was so relieved to see it become a circle to synergize better with Arm of the Destroyer and Fourfold Fury. This was closer to the days when One-Ilm Punch existed, which I now must remember One-Ilm Punch existed. Monk AoE was interesting back then. Anyway, thank you for the new guide. I'll be sure to take it to heart when I pick Warrior back up, after I'm done leveling other jobs or just feel like going ape.

Lol. That gorilla thing was pretty funny

I feel like the intro is getting more memey with every video and I'm OK with this.

Well, some people whining about overpower being a cone shape aoe ..it was about to happen.

I came back to FFXIV after like 4 years and was pretty upset with how overpowered directional was changed. I got so used to the cone now it's a circle 😭

I feel shake it off could have gotten a better explanation by mentioning that you can line up all 3 buffs like you would ogc'ds in an opener to all expire at the same second, and then consume them all for an extra 6% shield for trash pulls, which also enourages using your tank cd's

@WeskAlber

9 ай бұрын

Encourages to use them poorly. Raw Intuition in trash should almost never be paired with any other CDs besides Holmgang, in the method I lay out. Using anything more than RI by itself is over-mitigating due to it being several seconds of infinite healing. And you're also likely too busy trying to dodge enemy attacks to keep track of timers to the second. It is very hard to have such a precise level of planning in trash, especially due to time to kill. Boss fights usually have the same rotations no matter how good your team is. It very much is an effect made for boss CD planning, especially in the high end.

I also miss the Cone AoE of Warrior. I personally wish they changed all their AoE attacks into cones so they all matched. Plus, it would give Warrior a bit more identity amongst the Tanks.

37:28 Exactly how I felt once I hit that level 😂

Study hard people, test is on Friday...
