Video

really like how you show and explain the rotation and how it builds up step by step. honestly couldn't tell if i was playing it right so far because the fury didn't make sense to me until the new update.

removing +10% damage buff from twin snakes makes the class so much nicer to play lol

Nice video, i think im going to roll an easier class HAHAHAHAH. i love monk, but as a starting player i guess im not prepared.

No crit on Communion? Sad

Why delaying the usage Drill charges at 1 minute burst tho?

2:38 mark. 6 years? That would of been back at end of stormblood start of shadow bringer, not Endwalker. Lol man just debunked himself for starting in Endwalker

Potency is stored in the balls. Also quick aside: Solar Lunar is used as the opener for most ultimates (with the notable exclusion of TOP), mostly due to some nonstandard kill times that let you do some wacky stuff. For example in TEA for Living Liquid you actually get 2 blitzes in your 2nd RoF if you delay using RoF until you almost have 2 stacks of Perfect Balance, as even with delaying RoF this much it will still be up in time for the BJCC reopener meaning you don't lose a use. You'd never ever do this in full uptime fights, but it's one of the wacky things we can do with nonstandard kill times.

What do you think of Monk when compared to the other dps? Also im disappointed they didn't fix six sided star, pretty sure it's the only lv 80 skill that is straight up unusable lol.

Did that player not listen to a single thing Mother Hydaelyn has been preaching for forever? You're gonna struggle, stumble and fall. But each time, you'll learn something new and become stronger for it.

I dont mind normal being lil bit harder but the savage and ulti players will still consider it casual content so they do have a point.

"I spend slightly more money than these PEASANTS and suck actual shit at this game!!! CATER TO MY NEEEEEDS ONLY YOSHIII!!!" Man I hate the FFXIV forum and reddit

let's be real, people are using that post as a pass to say terrible things about players they view as beneath them. It's the grossest I've seen the 14 community in a while.

do you mind sharing what you use to make your hud/hotbar look like that? looks super clean

Thanks to this video I was able to drain my balls very efficiently! Thanks!

Its honestly strange to see and hear about dungeon difficulties when I really only feel the dungeons getting noticably tighter in execution and difficulty with the 95 and 97 dungeons when the 660 Poetic gear starts to noticably falls off and tanks wanna Wall to Wall with no thoughts. They have also been pushing a lot of mechanics requiring you to be observant of not only the physical environment but also what exactly the boss is casting too. I find all of this pretty damn fun tbh, Boss 2 in the 97 is a great feeling boss to push players movement comprehension while also keeping up with DPS. EX-1 is also heavily entertaining at least for Tanks, rhe various mechanics including the multi-stage Tankbuster everyone needs to engage with, they just did a pretty wonderf job with a lot of thinga content wise, though I'd like to state the Normal Raids, as much as I love the theme and the designs, some of the fights kind of feel dry with how long it takes for mechanics to happen but Savage can always help that.

I was wondering what is the best materia to put in reaper and does it matter new to reaper and love it please and thank you

This video started as a guide, but quickly became a life lesson: “Fill balls when needed, drain balls when possible”.

I have said this before that some of the bosses in some of the leveling Dungeons have annoyning AOE SPAMS, now while it annoyed me i was able to over come it, but i have played Wow since Wriath and i did play alittle in FFXI and i started FFXIV in stormblood. I had some bad lag spikes in some of the Dungeons when i was going through early Access and i die quickly. Now if there are players with net that not as good and bad luck they will die alot with some of the bosses in the Leveling Dungeons. I also see people say this might get them to do harder content, hate to break it to people for the most part most people that do not do anything harder do not do them no matter what you might get a few to go to savage and harder but not that many. Overall yes the dungeons are harder for me not so much but just some of the AOE spams annoyed me that was about it, even the post level 100 where not to bad only one fight was alittle annoying but it was not that bad. B ut there are people who might play on a PS or Xbox and they could have more lag for any reason and throw in people who are on pcs that might not have the best net and those people might not enjoy DT that much, and to be fair i am one of the players that did not enjoy the story for the most part in DT, i like the second half more then the first half.

watched this guide, parsed ridiculous numbers got all the ladies with my huge pumps.

In 1 min burst window you can use FireRep. more wise, not like you showed it

I'll be honest - I'm a superbad player :P I completed the MSQ and haven't moved forward with unlocking the rest of the dungeons. I've been blissfully leveling my crafters, mostly so I can craft better gear for myself so I can perform better once I DO unlock the dungeons. I am so happy no one witnessed my terrible performance in the duty support :P lol As a bad player myself, I love the harder content because it forces me to improve, be it my gear, looking up strats, etc. I think the vocal minority is just afraid casual content is shrinking and they'll be stuck playing duty-supported dungeons with npcs, which can get boring.

The problem I have with all of this is the dishonesty. Some of these posts are just bait/trolls and you can tell. Some truly mean it and I think some people truly cant be helped, but it's a very little minority. People overall would benefrit from more difficulty options, it would help disabled people, people with psychological conditions & old people here as well (mind you this group of people doesn't whine about their plight here in the slightest btw compared to the folks I will talk about now). The main problem however are the people that could do better, but dont want to (due to laziness or entitlement) and instead complain and whine, aslong it they need to and eventually SE could listen to their garbage opinion. That's the problem. It's a vocal minority, but still a minority that doesn't benefit anyone but themselves and not even then. I hope SE doesn't listen, and given the overall positive feedback so far in Dawntrail I am pretty optimistic. Yoshi P also said that when people think content is "too hard" they make it more "accessible", when they think it's too easy they bump up the difficulty (as seen in Dawntrail), this has happened through the various expansions over and over again - then Yoshi P also said that he will not listen to the complaining anymore (in a laughing, maybe ironic maner), but even the very patient Yoshi P has said it. It's also important to note that the complainers are not your average casuals, but turbo casuals. I think it's important to make that distinction as many casual players are also fed up with the whiny threads. Overall a difficulty setting would solve the problems for everyone, but people could also just actually play the game. Shocking right? They can play other games, so what's the big deal?

They NEED to up the cast distance for Starcross 3y is PAINFULL

I keep clipping my damn Drakesbane and forgetting to use Dragonfire Dive, but DRG just feels so good this expac I'm trying to relearn it after dropping it in Endwalker for RPR.

Its called getting good

This expansion has revived my love for this game. My party has wiped in almost all of the new dungeons. It's been trial and error. Most importantly, it feels great to finally win. A game shouldn't be so easy, you never have to worry about dying or having a party wide wipe. Definitely strawman. We shouldn't be attacking people who struggle with the game. We should be working together with them to help them improve.

These are the kinds of people that ruin the game for everyone.

*laughs in 2.0 Aurum Vale, Cutters Cry, etc*

"The game doesn't teach you" Yes it does. The only thing I had to go to outside sources for was my optimal rotations and strats for high end content which has been true for every tab targeting mmo I've ever played. Every thing else I learned from the game teaching me. The first time you see a mechanic that is the game teaching you. It just doesn't hold your hand while doing so. It doesn't have a text box or a disembodied voice telling how to do things. It presents the problem in an easy to understand format and says figure it out. Then iterates upon it later on. That IS teaching in a hands off manner. Fromsoft games do the exact same thing and people love them for it. Otherwise great video and I agree with everything else you said.

I think the main reason that this has become a discussion is because the complaints about how boring normal content has been and even playing healer in general above that were listened too. For me seeing that post on the official forums made me wonder if there haven't been similar posts on the Japanese forums which may have fed into why normal content was kept so casual. There is a need to counter act the post because if it picked up steam or didn't have people speaking against it we could end up back where we were next patch. Everyone talking about it on CZcams has almost explicitly been positive about the changes, I do think dumping on people who feel overwhelmed isn't ideal. The game does need to smooth out the curve through it's content and expectations for players in the endgame overall though so holding them to the standard of at least being able to keep aggro, keep the party alive or do a bare minimum of damage whilst completing mechanics is essential. Part of why there are people who are level 100 and can't get through a dungeon with a slight increase in difficulty is how much you are babied through the rest of the game. I get your point that there are only a few people in that thread but just like the opinions against them are going to be held by more people than are in the thread it's the same with people thinking the game is too hard. There are people who might've just stopped playing with no fanfare or post on the forums who are also being represented by their posts and I don't want these forum posts combined with details SE gets behind the scenes to impact a change for the worse.

I voiced my opinion on the matter without thrashing in fear that the team would dumb down the game.

Skill issue ☝🏻🤓

Trash players complaining about difficulty

Its not even funny how they managed to start having combat go into a totally new, fun direction from the previous path, but in the same breadth, drop the ball with the story straight off a cliff. God i hope they get their shit together for the patch stories and 8.0 story or the game willm have to be carried by combat alone and i dont see that happening.

Stunning to me how a lot of people clearly have not watched past the 3 minute mark on the video continuing to shit on people that claim the game is too hard where as my whole point of the video is that there are barely any people who feel this way and that it's mostly strawmanning. Be better.

The only complaint I have is the lord Lennogg fight. His little doll army having a phantom grab range of 3 player width. Other than that it has been a blast. Also all these people complaining are probably black mages.

As a melee dps, of course, you can't earn much combat materias, if you do only AOEs...so far, I enjoy the raids in DT so far.

These are the same people that probably have panic attacks when their food delivery driver knocks on their door.

"I am bad at the game and refuse to get better so I want the devs to ruin the game for everybody to cater to ME."

these people on the forums dont even play the game, like this tard that claimed he even struggled in endwalker and fucking tried to "threaten" to quit the game like just leave dude nothing of value is lost when you're gone

Yup just like no one actually thinks there are problems with healers lol, outside a few hundred very loud whiners.

People wouldn’t care if they voiced their opinions, that’s not the issue, it’s the fact that square listens to these 3 to 4 people and changes content for the worse based on ridiculous demands of these 3 to 4 people and the vociferous minority, it’s happened in the past and people are paranoid that it’s gonna happen again. You can say it’s a troll but the devs cannot discern whether or not it’s a troll based on a superficial glance and they could end up taking it seriously that’s why it has to be treated as if it were serious. So this time the silent majority has been awoken and they’re out for blood, I’m sorry it has to be like this but you can only take so much abuse until you have to fight back 😅, ignoring them doesn’t work so I think engaging them and their nonsense is the correct approach, to ensure that the devs see that hey, a lot of us over here don’t agree with these 3 to 4 people and that the changes are actually good, to ensure that the feedback isn’t unilateral.

1:50 You for got to mention she is stuck on a Dungeon with TRUST, since she get apparently to scared to play with other People. Either that is a big fat troll post or she is serious

Sounds like a lot of skill issue talk in the forums. The dungeons in DT are the most fun in a along time.

i don't think that dawntrail is to difficult but i feel like it has to many 2 shot mechanics that fire off in less than 2 seconds between one another. the casual content went from "you're alowed one misstake per minute" to, "you're allowed one misstake if you have a healer that pays attention" wich the npc healer do not. the wierd part is that those are in random dungeon midbosses, the trials are actually alot more generos in comparison and only the 4th raid has a simmilar mechanic that requires the healer to pay extra close attention. This is the point of view of a person that plays DPS in the singleplayer content (msq and trusts) and healer/dps in multiplayer (roulletes trials raids).

How is it a hard decision for a grown ass man/woman to find new games & move on?? No one forcin you to pay and youre welcome to come back whenever ?

Im a relative new player (lost just yesterday my newbie leaf xD) i liked the normal End*content. As a Scholar Main in Dungeons i was bored as hell up to mid-end Endwalker. Just then where there parts where i had to actually do something as a healer. In Dawntrail it was even more. But i liked it. The MSQ and sidequest are braindead enough. At least in the dungeons it was kinda fun. And normal Raid. In my mindset over the past years of MMO, Raids should never be braindead 1-shotable. No matter if its Normal or Hard. I think even Zoraalja Extreme was to easy. Vali is just about right.

thank you for going and reading everything for the rest of us and tell everyone that its all bull shit like always they love attention but now its bad attention

this is as far as I can get "perfectly". after this I always miss up the other burst windows for some reason lol.

talking about the game too hard i was really hoping fox had started with his scuffed nin opener on ex 1 :D
