i hate the saying that oh rpr is really good in this phase because you can pool resources and thats the pro of the job i swapped to sam for fru this ult i cleared dsr and top as rpr and it was miserable af i dont give a shit that i pump like a motherfucker in the last phase when the rest of the fight i have to plan out my gauge to prep it for the next phase its just not fun playing non gauge reliant jobs that just works no matter the phase is just so much more relaxing and flexible for me

Summoner still after 3+ years feels unfinished, i wish that Summoner would get more utility and being able to actually combine the Primals to get certain mixed - up skills out of it. But instead Summoner got Solar Bahamut which you have inbetween the regular Bahamut and Phoenix which makes the order of summons even weirder. I think these 3 major summons should always be open and you should be able to choose which one you activate right now, that would help. I said it once and i said it again, Machinist's Flamethrower should be changed to a auto - turrent that attacks bosses and adds on it's own with fire, maybe overclock it to a laser or something for extra dps. The biggest issue that i see with Reaper is that you have two extra skill to apply Death's Design that are outside of applying this debuff completely useless and it doesn't feel great to use these skills and delaying your combo for them. Deaths Design should be either a reward for doing your positional or part of the Gibbet, Gallows and Guillotine combo. I think positionals should be rewarded with actual debuff and buff than with a little bit of extra damage.

The issue with Summoner is that downtime in the fight is atrocious for one minute bursts The first mechanic already drifts your Bahamut so far that you may not even be able to get it realigned for p2-3 transition. I brought it in for one lockout and now would rather play literally any other caster.

You shouldn’t be comparing MCH to picto or other selfish dps. Thats a common mistake ppl make. You compare it to brd and dnc because the 1% buff you get from having 1 phys range offsets that difference anyways. Its picked less because in organized team play bard and dnc are always better where MCH shines over bard when you have dps dying and shines over dnc w/e their dance partner dies. Since that rarely happens in pulls that matter they are always considered bad unless they flat out do more rdps than dnc/brd. As far as your downtime argument you are pretty much spot on with MCH and the other DPS but i am just added extra context ontop of that. Also absolutely no phys range should be beating any caster otherwise theres a balance issue.

Whoops..my group as all three.

lol no reaper slander best class in the game

Oh no poor summoners

No nerfs only buffs

Hi, RPR player currently progging FRU. And I think you're close with your analysis but it's not Viper that RPR's are playing, it's DRG. DRG has a significantly better time in this fight due to the fact that it has no real problem with downtime since 1 min and 2 min bursts are basically priority systems of which oGCD to press. The only thing that's a negative for it is having to adjust to applying the DoT every time the boss appears again, but that should come with a short amount of practice. The gauge building issues are also rather indepth as well. Because you have to hold 50 gauge to get into the next window, your damage on phase 1 tends to be quite low. There might be a line where you get to spend that gauge and get 50, but you likely need to kill p1 early meaning the rest of the group doesn't get the time they need to set up properly. It's actually been quite a fun puzzle setting up damage through lines for this fight as a RPR. But because of that extra chunk of work some players might not enjoy that and want something a little easier, which DRG, NIN, and MNK all provide. VPR also suffers from these problems, but has the extra issue of having it's GCD speed tied to a buff that needs uptime, which is why I think if any RPR player was looking at a different melee to have in their back pocket, DRG was pretty much the only choice, especially if you struggled to get gear.

as MCH, cause you can't stack ressources on down time, you hold it on uptime. part of the optimisation is to loose dps, not using drills to instead comboing/ aoeing to stack ressources you will spend where you grp have struggle (sometimes overcaping is better for your grp). it makes it look worse than he is. going P5 with 100 on both ressources makes it not too bad for the only dps check that maters.

Approaching p3+ oftentimes I would do extra prog with static members in pf. We had a really hard time filling our pfs just because one of our members was a SMN. Additionally, there were multiple instances where I would join a pf to prog and it would never seem to fill - simply because there was a SMN in the group... In terms of actual dps, we were fine so long as there were 0 deaths and we made small adjustments depending on comp(e.g. as a SCH I would sometimes Chain a tank crystal). If someone wasn't pulling their weight in intermission, we would need to LB the big crystal. This wasn't a big problem as the p3 check is a joke anyways. All that said, we cleared shortly after Christmas without a picto. 😁

Its honestly so frustrating trying to pf fru on summoner I gave up and swapped to picto. I literally can't join half the parties because everyone locks the one caster spot to picto

> Join 7.0 EX3 for mount farm in PF last month > That PF has D3 & D4 as machinist & summoner comp > We try 5 times but not a single run can't pass phase 1 enrage check. Always leaving with 1-3% HP (or 3-5% if melees get rekt) > Leader ask D3 & D4 to change job if their can politely. Machinist has only 1 lv.100 job & Summoner refuse to change to picto cuz he doesn't want to play meta > Vote abandon initiate and party immediately disband > 10 min later after I pick coffee cup, found PF with same leader name. With D3 set to BRD, DNC and D4 set to BLM, PCT, RDM Btw, I agree with your clip 😂

Honestly I don't think they need to change the fact that picto benefits from downtime, but I think it needs a nerf so it also isn't the best in full uptime either to bring it more in line. It should do more damage than Red Mage, but still a good bit less than Black Mage in full uptime in my opinion. Machinist needs radical buffs to bring its damage up to be at least on par with Red Mage, though I feel like they deserve the most to be right behind melee. I also feel like they should make it so you can use flamethrower to generate heat and potentially even battery gauge so they can deal with downtime scenarios better. It would also make Flamethrower an actually useful button. Outside of that, I feel like the balance is mostly fine in terms of damage.

they design and appertize adps jobs and rdps jobs but in reality, the game is all about rdps, cause adps always naturally sit at the bottom of the ladder. then, there's these adps jobs with raidbuffs...they really need to re-define the difference of "selfish jobs" and buff jobs

It's good to note the most important dps check, in p5, highly favors jobs like rpr, while also widening the gap between jobs like mch and bard. It'd be good to show how you're filtering fflogs statistics, and consider the context of padding when comparing peaks.

It isn't that Summoners have the lowest "clear rate" per se. All the good summoners who've been playing since 3.x are just clearing on other jobs waiting in vain for SE to unbork their favorite job. You heard right.

I feel like on day 1 the biggest reason our Summoner swapped off, and understandably so, was how horrible it felt to play with the desync of 1 minutes.. thats of course a problem on other jobs too, but Summoner pressing searing light without even having a proper primal up, and THEN being forced to use Phoenix on every single next burst window? that just feels horrible on many levels And delaying that 1 min in p1 just doesnt feel right either, youre just stuck using the worst spell in your kit..

Also have to consider not everyone picks what jobs they want to play based on balance or fflogs or what would be meta for dps checks in fights but rather their personal enjoyment and fun. Some jobs had their gameplay loop gutted and job fantasy wasn't enough to keep people on the job. I can't speak for mch as I dislike playing phys ranged in generall for different reasons that are difficult to explain other than playing them feels bad imo. If the draw to playing smn/rpr was ease/job coolness, why stay on smn if theres another just as easy and cooler caster. Rpr and vip are basically the same job, vip is just faster and has more ogcds and is the newer job. At the end of the day its just a big case of "I don't want to play with you anymore".

Im not sure when the dps jobs were so unbalanced with damage ..well I cant remember how long it has been with the differences on dps.

I find it strange how much stock you put in selfish DPS’s rdps-ADPS is a more important factor with them

I wish rpr had vpr resouce generation. Vpr can easily generate enough gauge to odd minute reawaken, and even minute double reawaken. Every time. Rpr at 2.49 will eventually lose its odd minute enshroud and if you get 1 gcd of downtime it happens a minute sooner. Makes it feel like shit in ultimates imo. There could be simple fixes like make the enhanced gibet/gallows give 20 gauge and the new big button tied to arcane circle should give 10.

Phase 6 TOP Of anyone dies before enrage its over plus the butt clenching from cannons I fear for phys range mostly

Wish I could put it all on the first hotbar set playing on ps5

Thanks so much for this guide and for using both voice and text as it helps me really absorb the information. It's hard to read just text guides or watch rotation videos without it being broken down an explained clearly.

Now can you do one for PvP:3

Would the top 10 hardest fights in the game be ranked like this? 1. TOP 2. DSR 3. FRU 4. UCOB 5. TEA 6. T7S MINE 7. UWU 8. P8S MINE 9. A8S MINE 10. E8S MINE

BJCC is dirt easy

TOP was my very first ultimate that i cleared. The amount of hours i put into studying p5 was insane. Never knew a boss phase could be this technical. And after many hours of studying, simming and farming I'm still reliant on a teammate to solve p5 omega lol

Clearly this list is wrong, Final Word is the hardest mechanic in the whole game. Getting a FFXIV player to do literally nothing for 5 seconds is truly impossible content. :3c

the exas r the hardest

Towers in UCOB was probably the hardest for my group. For TEA it had to be wormhole until I made a macro for my static. Don’t think we’ll ever do top

Depending on your role, split BJCC is insanely easy xD

Great video but ill be honest dsr p2 and p3 are harder than 2-5 The whole list could be dsr 😂. Would love to see a big list

Honorable Mentions: - P2 UCoB - P2 TOP - P5 DSR

Haven't watched the vid yet but tbh this whole list could be just top phases lol.

Great list! Agree with all of it as a melee dps!

My operner is quite a lil altered what the balance say i usually do high jump then grie and starcrossed before i weave my lifesurge to do heavensthrust what i notice drg is the only dps is the easiest to look at their burst window since the 2min burst rotation looks like your opener and pretty much that its just rinse and repeat but thats just how i see it.

what language does your static speak? trying my hardest to figure it out

Subtitle colors are based on each job's color on fflogs (if you're wondering who's talking) ie - light pink is our DNC (primary shot caller), red is our WAR (secondary shot caller)

Congrats 🎉🎉

Congratz Ayla! very cool translation subs :D!

Congrats!

I just started ffxiv like 4 months ago, and this is gonna be my next goal😜😭

I can't even pass the Sage tutorial :(

You a Viera so I follow (I’m Viera)

5:47 Is it me, or is the math there wrong? For example, Confiteor does 1k potency, but you have it listed as 2k potency already, and then have it say that the cleave makes it do 50% less damage... Which somehow brings the potency up to 3000 instead of making it 1500 potency which it should be. Also Circle of Scorn and Blade of Honour aren't included even though they also do AoE or cleave damage respectively. The point you make is valid despite this, since the errors are fairly consistent, but this bothered me a bit so I had to say something. Was this done to account for raid buffs or was this just a mistake?

Thats a very interesting outlook, haven't gotten that far progging in PF, but thats awesome knowing that the cleave will work there lol. I think a large playerbase is also locked based on what class people geared from savage ofc since its on-content ultimate. Else I would've been flexing all tanks

I like the quote that FRU isn't an Ultimate unless you don't have a PCT in your party XD, you really feel it when P1 enrages with 0.2% left even though your team played almost perfectly (have VPR as well as one of our melee which I heard is pretty struggle bus in Ultimate so far). Progging on DRK cause it's my fave job in the game, in a "semi-midcore" static raiding 3 times a week for 3 hours, with our prog point of P2 Mirror Mirror. I have to say figuring out DRK optimization has been really fun both in terms of opener/rotation and mit as FRU is probably the first Ultimate I will clear (have gotten to Mario Kart in TEA and P3 Enrage of DSR), so I haven't had a lot of overall experience with Ultimates and even less as my main role of tank (only did the first phase of TEA as PLD in the last 2 weeks of ShB, progged DSR on DNC until static disbanded). But yeah, it's fun, hoping to clear before 7.2 with the static but will go into PF if it doesn't seem like that will happen. I would like to see how GNB optimizes in FRU as DT first tier was my first time maining GNB with my new static and learning how to optimize rotation, as my main co-tank at the time in ShB and EW was a GNB main.But yeah, looking to clear Soon™and have fun while doing it XD.

DRK AoE is a gain on 3 now above level 96 :)
