For what it's worth, every second you spend painting is another second of damage that gets to go into your other abilities to make them bigger. As titania taught us, bigger is better.

The primary/secondary colors lining up with the 6 elements in FFXIV is pretty clever.

@jiggerblayne

The fact that they also line up with color theory is cool to me. They could have just gone with the more commonly known red blue yellow that makes green orange and purple that you learn in high school but they went with two primaries one that is adding light to a black canvas like on a computer or television and subtractive taking away the white of a canvas with color, these two primaries can mix together to make each other, though they could later add a stronger spell “key” to subtractive pallet to make an ultimate black since cym doesn’t really make a true black.

@jiggerblayne

21 күн бұрын

also the red green blue colour pallet is about mixing light like in your tv and your computer, adding light too a dark canvas and cyan magenta and yellow is about filling a white page with colour and in a way subtracting from the white. normally cym comes with "key" to get a true black so that could be another kill they could add to get a stronger black.

They did have to break it slightly. Since there are 3 elements associated with Astral and 3 with Umbral but that doesn't match up fully with RBG and CMY since each has 2 of one and 1 of the other. It matching colors is better overall but it's slightly less satisfying as someone who really enjoyed Eureka.

I've watched a lot of pictomancer videos, and yours is actually the one that "painted" the best picture of it 😂 The only one that made me understand more or less what comes after what

I've found the BEST way to learn a brand new job is to take it through PotD starting at level 1-50, then moving on to HoH later. You get your skills 1 by 1 as you level up. You read one tooltip at a time, learn what it does and how to use it. Then you get the next skill, read the tooltip, learn what it does, then learn to fit it into your 'rotation' and slowly by floor 50 the job starts to come together in your brain. No text dumps of trying to figure out 30 skills at once and how they play together, it just shows you. You learn any new job JUST the same way you would be learning a level 1 class at the start of the game. But a lot faster. I find it gives you a better fundamental understanding of the building blocks of the job. Doing it this way(for me) has the added benefit of your lower level skills being far more accessible so content is less confusing when you scale down for roulettes and the like. You've already played the job from level 1 so you know exactly how it will scale down, and already know what will and won't be available to you and are still able to play the job fluidly with no 'scale shock' of suddenly losing everything and having no idea what's actually left or where it is.

You're meant to go in solo to do this, not with a group, the only reason you should be exiting combat on the individual floors is if you're going too slow. If you go in a normal dungeon your choices are: *Synced down with other people* - where you may be too rushed to read properly *Unsynced on your own* - where everything dies too fast and you STILL don't have time for a full rotation. *Synced on your own* - Uhh, yeah, no thank you.

I feel like this is what summoner could have been with the mpg and maddeen summoning and all the different things that could make you gather Aether for the big summons . Would be nicer.

12:20 Quazii made an excellent video that includes a potential opener/2 min rotation that I think is going to be very close to what will be typical on release. He does manage to get the three hammer strikes into the burst phase along with all of the meaty spells and abilities, so I think it's good to check out, even if it gets slightly changed upon release If ppl can't be bothered to check his vid on the burst phase, it essentially goes: **Parenthesis denotes ogcds raidbuff--Star(subtractive)--Comet combo 1-4(mog muse), rainbow(mog/madeen blast), Hammer 1-3 In a 20 second window you usually can only get 8 gcds in, but he's squeezing 9 in because of the instant cast hammers at the end.

Woop! Was waiting for your picto vid! :D So hyped!

I can’t wait for Pictomancer! I loved Okami and the Artist in Lost Ark. It seems complex/strategic enough so I won’t get bored but not overwhelmed either. I love classes that make me feel like I have options and answers for any situation.

This breakdown was the easiest for me to understand, thank you.

Thank you so much for explaining this! Really made me understand the class a little more and I can't wait to try it!

Thank you for the recap Zep ! ♥

Omg… I deeply appreciate you took the time to do your hot bar and skill in the mmo mouse style… I understand it so much better than everyone else’s blah of a hot bar and can start piecing together what it looks like

After I've watched so many people explaining Pictomancer, your explanations were the ones where I actually got it :D

The thing I'm so bad at with Reaper is remembering to use Soul Sow in between packs in a dungeon. Glad I'll be able to fail at that as Pictomancer too.

@RichterfanReborn89

I mean I am too with Reaper but I think that's because such a forgettable part of the Reaper kit, it has no relationship or interaction with the rest of the kit , it's just there , a single solitary button you can press for free extra damage. But I suspect that pictomancer would be an entirely different story given it's motifs are two thirds of the entire kit , not a single button standing in the corner of the hotbar , after practice I suspect most will get into the habit of pre-drawing motifs between packs

Thanks for scouting ahead for us!

Honestly, your explanation helped me a LOT! It seemed so daunting before to the point where I questioned if I wanted to pick up the job, but now I’m definitely giving it a shot when the expansion launches. Thank you!

I've watched several videos about how Pictomancer works, but this is the first time I feel like I actually understand anything. Thank you!

Now i am even more hyped about picto. And your video helps to understand it more. Thank you Zep!

I guess it takes someone who was confused to explain the job to a fellow confused person because this is the only video so far I've been able to easily follow lol

I think we may use swift cast on the rainbow before downtime to get one last big potency attack out since the recast won't matter.

shift to "dark" aetherhue to use CMYK printer ink

this sounds like it will be right up my alley, can't wait to learn this chaotically colourful job! :D

Picto looks awesome, great showcase as always Zep

after playing it today it actually feels super intuitive! It doesn’t feel punishing at all (at least at 80/81) hard casting the motif’s in battle and the brush flick when you cast is SOO SATISFYING

Pictomancer seems so cool and interesting, can’t wait to play it!

I actually love that you're not the kind of person who isnt as "pro" about how classes/attacks are optimized. (no shade to Mr. Happy) but when he talks about this ability does this and that so you're going to want to do it at the 5.32 second mark and then weave this with that and stick your wand up your bum... My brain just turns off. So hearing you talk about it is much more relaxing.

Excited to try and fill my smooth brain with colors

One of the earliest I’ve ever been to a vid lol

The expectation setting is appreciated.

Can't wait to play painter!

Madeen is from ff9. I think one of if not the only ff game its in. You also dont see it im pretty sure. The moogle with eiko gives his life to give her the madeen summon and moogles ribbon i think. Its her most powerful damage wise and does holy damage.

Definitely going to need to get a feel for the cooldowns of the abilities. But I like that non-standard rotation feel, like older blackmage. That said I love the newer streamlined blackmage very much as well. I imagine the optimization will be in learning when to paint during boss phase changes, but otherwise there will be a "default" rotation. Kinda like how optimizing with Summoner right now is just about knowing when in the fight the boss will stand still (for garuda phase) and when you can stand still (for ifirit phase). For painter, it'll be about knowing when the boss is untargatable (for painting), and knowing when you'll have to move (for the insta-cast hammer).

I think my eyes 👀 are trying to do something watching Zepla in this video while my mind is playing tricks on me at the same time trying to focus my eyes.

So excited for picto!!!!

I can't wait to mess around with this job when I level it up, because I will be leveling it along with Viper before I properly start msq.

9:00 you're painting a Drop Bear Moogle!

I personally love having skills to use in between packs in dungeons. Having motifs to draw during downtime bumps this job from 8/10 to 10/10 for me. I'm really looking forward to playing this.

Madeen is an Eidolon from FF9. She is Eiko's final Summon ability. Appropriately enough, she initially took the form of a timid Moogle companion of Eiko's, named Mog. I'm guessing these Motifs will be similar to how Demi-Bahamut and Phoenix worked for Summoner; like how Phoenix replaced every other Demi-Bahamut and was more powerful, I'm guessing that initially only Pom and Wing motifs are available at lower levels, and at level 96 every other Pom and Wing motif is replaced with Claw and Maw motifs.

I am excited for the challenge! I am thinking Picto will be my new main BUT only time will tell!

was keen on the Viper but now is hyped for Picto

This is like watching a lecture on astrophysics... I have no idea what's going at all, but it looks fun and interesting.

Why on an alt? Is it armoury space issue? Once it’s leveled you can share the gear with your same level casting gear so I guess I’m just confused why you wouldn’t try it on your main. Genuine curiosity not trying to toll or grief

What's wrong with the brightness/exposure? It feels like a game with the bloom settings on max, especially on her skin. It feels like she has floodlights or something focused on her. I think the old setup was better, it's been a long time since I watched Zepla, glad to be back.

I kept hearing you say Palette that way and I went “Wait, when did they start involving chickens?”

excellent explanation 10/10

I believe motif painting will be exclusive for downtime phases and out of combat. Some people can argue that you can swiftcast it to make it a little quicker but the rainbow spell is a way better option to use swiftcast on. It is a 900 pot 4 sec cast spell so I presume you will swiftcast that every time.
