[FFXIV] Mentor Breakdown

Disclaimer: Two of the names in this video (Golden Radiance and Gintana Gintama) are friends I've been doing roulettes with recently (Sprout and Returner), and yes some of this isn't strictly Mentor Roulette footage but I kept it in because funny. Everyone else is a stranger, and yes, there are some repeat names across extremes footage because across 2 weekends there was a group of psychopath sprouts just queuing EXs nonstop.

    To add on the party chat defense, I don't think any of the default tabs for party chat are set-up in a way to only show the player's texts alone, meaning if you want that to happen, you'll have to create a custom tab for that which is something I expect new players to not know at all (I started using that myself just before Endwalker's release for a Spoiler free tab).

    I had a smn mentor in rathalos ex who told me I should do this unsynced in PF and that I'm wasting everyone's time. That same mentor proceeded to cart one or two times every pull and failing the duty for us repeatedly. They then declared it was hopeless and that they were going to wait out the timer to leave/abandon. During the final pull before they could leave the duty, we took it down to ~30% health, just the three of us. The mentor just stood in the back of the arena, watching. We had made it further than we did when the mentor was "helping" us. They left without saying a word.... Mentors really left a bad taste in my mouth, after that. I unlocked the mentor crown, myself, a few weeks ago, and I'm prepping to go through the synced ex's to unlock the mentor roulette... I am determined to never be that guy.

    you can do unsynced PF EXs to unlock roulette, the only downside is you won't have the "synced" experience but it's generally better to make PFs for that as well. Personally Mentor Roulette made me "git gud" at a lot of EXs because even if you did them synced back in the day, chances are by the time it rolls around in Mentor you'll have forgotten the mechanics to some degree, so it's about derusting on the fly and honestly no shame looking up a macro or guide quickly to refresh your own memory so you can better teach people Also yeah most mentors are trash and have bad attitude, they see 2k roulettes as a means to an end, instead of the point that it's meant to help newbies. Even if the Crown's reputation is tainted, it's ultimately up to you as a player to decide what it means.

    Had a run of Great Hunt EX at the time of writing this, actually. I joined in late as I'm sure I took the place of someone with less fortitude. Three mentors, one sproutless SMN. We wiped time after time, but we kept going. I'd had plenty of experience doing this before--lead plenty of newcomers to victories before. This wasn't one of those successes sadly. Our SMN was struggling hard. We gave them every bit of advice we could; avoid their front, use Mega Potion duty action when you need healing during the flying phase, you can take the stacks solo as long as you use your Mega Potion, etc. At times, they were so engaged, they'd forget to summon their carbuncle or run right at the boss and pull it instantly between wipes... their damage was low--they hardly found time to cast when they were able. It was clear they weren't ready for this--no tricks or tips could make up for it--they needed more time and practice familiarizing themselves with their kit--let alone the fight. I'm not one to try and explain someone's entire kit to them during duties--that's better suited in front of a training dummy. I keep it to myself and do my best to help out where I can. Regardless, we pressed on--and eventually, without a word, they left. Another mentor is pulled in and we finish the fight fairly quickly. We chatted for a bit before leaving--mostly about feeling bad that we weren't able to help the SMN get their win, but agreed that they didn't seem like they were really ready for it--and hopefully they at least learned something about the mechs. "Look to those who walked before to lead those who walk after." Sometimes people expect a lot more from mentors--and I can't say I blame em. Everybody's just a player at the end of the day. Good mentors can teach you plenty from what they know--maybe not all of it at once in an EX or what-have-you. But like many will say, and they're right, they don't pay your sub; it's up to you to put in the time and effort necessary to improve and accomplish what you set out to do on your journey. I just hope that when failure does happen you'll still be able to have fun, y'know? "Thou must live, die, and know."

    If a lot more people had this understanding, both mentors and sprouts, I believe us mentors that take that crown a little more seriously than most, would be given a lot more respect about what what we actually do. Of course, there’s the bad eggs, but those bad eggs can ruin it for those that are actually willing to help and stick around to do so. I really just hope that the huge amount of newer players we have coming into the game soon, have the chance to meet mentors like us that are willing to try our best to get their clear in older content. Seeing 5+ yellow clear text in the chat log makes my heart smile every single time. I’m certainly not a content genius, but I can say that one of the biggest reasons I still play this damn game is from the feeling I get when someone clears what they consider something difficult. I have a lot of good memories helping sprouts in mentor roulette, very few bad ones. I feed off the excitement… and that’s why I still do this shit.

    Can I just say, as a sprout who has the occasional braindead moment (mostly from panicking in the heat of the moment) I weirdly really appreciate these vids? Like I know mentors have got to be frustrated with me when I wander into an aoe or noticeably fuck up my rotation, or QUEUE INTO AN EX VIA DUTY FINDER WHOOPS but this humor helps me feel like it's more "ah, goddamn sprouts :T" than pure annoyance. Also this is a great What Not To Do guide

    yeah it shouldnt be truly nothing else but helping sprouts the best you can with the mount being the goal too yeah but to achieve it without actually preforming your mentor duty in some positive way is just meh to me. Like the btchn/sighing, emotes, vote abandon etc. Especially with how that roulette works with pulling in fresh people/newer players in. I got mine completed in 2017 so yeah, definitely had the experience with seeing how bad mentors were with the sprouts. so yeah there's mentors out there with the best intentions too. doesnt have to be "goddamn sprouts"

    As a ninja player, been flipping around on Single Target Doton for a while. It's the closest thing to a DoT Ninja has, but yeah, resources could go towards Raitons. Will take this to heart for future Ninja play, thank you Mentor Sensei!

    The issue is that almost all DoTs in FFXIV tick every 3 seconds (with the exception of MCH Flamethrower that ticks every second for some reason), so Doton's single target potency is basically 80 x 6 ticks = 480 potency IF the enemy stands in it the entire duration vs Raiton's 650 upfront potency, so under no single target circumstance is Doton a damage gain especially after they removed prepull Doton + Hide tech. It's a bit of a noob trap because the 3 second tick system isn't explained or intuitive, so I understand why people make the mistake (every other job in the game wants to apply DoTs if they have one), but it's also a good reminder that looking up a text guide for 5 mins can avoid a lot of mistakes when learning a new job

    Yeah, I saw in another video that it apparently WAS a little more potency than Raiton in the past, but yeah, not upfront. It's sort of a unique thing with Ninja's abilities and the Mudra. My DRK brain sort of associated it as similar to Salted Earth, but then as I thought on the Mudra logically, you ALWAYS have a choice for that, but it's a choice. It's a resource using ANY ninjutsu. When you think of that as another "meter" of sorts, you become a bit more self-conscious about that. Which is why despite the complexity of Ninja, it's basically my favorite Melee DPS at the moment.

    Ok so about the doton thing, like sometimes I just miss input and decide to get the extra dot damage. I'm still learning but it's better to do some damage from a miss input than zero for bunny mudra.

    One way to think about it is the number of mudras, there are only 3 x 3 mudra combos - Huton (gcd reduction buff), Doton (aoe dot) and Suiton (every minute to set up trick attack). If you are doing Raiton, Katon or Hyosho, you should only be tapping 2 mudras. I personally set up my Mudras in the Ten-Chi-Jin order, not just because that's the order you get them during levelling, but also because it facilitates remembering the combos for the 3-mudra ninjutsu. Suiton is Ten-Chi-Jin (left to right), Huton is Jin-Chi-Ten (right to left), so that leaves Doton as the only "weird" outlier since it ends on Chi, basically just hit the left and right in any order you prefer then hit Chi in the middle. Hope this helps.

    I remember while levelling Ninja for the first time, i had made a bad habit of using Doton on single targets and in one dungeon i had a healer go: "Will i ever see a Ninja not using Doton on ST" Needless to say i never did it again but i could feel the despair in his tone.

    I wonder if there is a special algorithm that pairs first timers together. On mentor roulette you have so many firsties, while if you queue via trial roulette you rarely havr any. Also how long did it take you to get the mount?

    Unironically, watching your vids has made me go on a journey to get the mentor mount myself (only as healer because I don't trust DF healers). I studied any EXs that are possible to encounter and yet all I ever get are just levelling dungeons. Maybe if I go as tank I'd see more cursed but alas. Someday I'll get the bonafide mentor experience.

    Honestly, yes. Healers get way more dungeon queues than tanks or dps. I usually go in as a summoner because I get more variety, and I can rez if the healers eat shit. Tho usually I am the last dps to be rezzed despite often being the only one that can help rez. It is what it is lol.

    Z, I feel ya, man. It wasn't easy to make life easy for everybody. But where we can, we can and do a little something about it. When I wear the crown, i almost always play dps, coz that way i can skip and loaf a little bit, and do the mentoring. But when I play tank or healer, no can do. Rotation and doing the mechanics above all, or... i die, you die, everybody dies. LMAO. to me, the crown symbolized something more than just getting the awesome mount. It's a testament of your undying love for the game that have captures millions of hearts the world over. Giving it a bad name is like shitting in my cup of hot chocolate and drink it afterward. I got 2K+ days of subscribed time. All the long timers know what that means.

    About the Complain part, no one would need to explain anything from the beginning. Since if they went in unprepared and watched no guide, I assume they gonna blind prog, and if they went in prepared, it’s mostly visible. Only do explaining stuff if they actively ask for advice mechanic wise, Or if hard stuck kinda. Was what I usually been doing while I did the grind. Also GZ on getting the mount fellow mentor maniac x)
