Really wanted to say thanks. Just downloaded the game, trying to learn about the classes and understand the changes. Your vids are SO informative and concise and digestible. It made this process exponentially easier foe me.
I’m so excited to play Dancer I have been waiting sooooo long and to see its partially how so new it would is really a proud moment. Oh it’s time to Dance 💃
Thank you for releasing all the videos at once and putting them in a convenient playlist. I'm having trouble finding them on my feed and I don't even see them listed in your "Videos" tab on your page. If I hadn't thought to check for a playlist I would have been screwed.
Random Fan: "So how did you like dancer?" MrHappy1227: "Eh it was 50, 50.........50, 50, 50, 50...." Disturbed Fan: "Uh is he alright." MrHappy1227: "50, fifty, Fifty, FIFTY, FEFTEEEEEEEEE"
While I'm definitely going to play dancer, and will be super happy being a class that is a "must have" in every raiding party, I am more and more worried...that it will be a "must have" in every raiding party. x_x Seeing the breakdown continues to tell me that they created a class that is the only buff class you will ever want, while also dealing some big numbers.
The amount of stuff going on with DNC is intimidating, honestly, and I'm reminded of my fumbling attempts to get NIN right, only to constantly fall short, feeling as if the job were designed exclusively for gamepads (which I don't use). Yet at the same time, OHHH, the sheer STYLE of DNC moves, the flow it's got, the potency, the incredible party benefit, the animations which definitely evokes ultra-elaborate martial arts in addition to the showmanship element (just THAT ART DIRECTION seriously), and the fact that if it uses BRD/MCH stuff, there are some utterly amazing glam possibilities.
@@Leticro Though it does make perfect sense for them to share with the other Ranged DPS, part of me was really hoping they were going to share with ROG and NIN instead, glamour-wise seemed more fitting
rigsta they gave all the support abilities to a dps. Healers don’t support almost at all now. Whoever thought that up should never touch an rpg ever again.
They pretty much said “let’s take away everything that makes AST what it is and give it to DNC and make AST the most boring and god awful healing class because you know fuck healers”
Dancer was the job I was looking forward to playing most in ShB, and this only made me want to play it more. It looks like so much fun. My only concern is with so many procs on your combos, is it going to feel like its too heavily based on RNG. That is my main complaint with Bard in 4.x (though it looks like that was changed) and I'm really hoping Dancer doesn't follow suit.
Your opener and the raid buff windows wont be affected because of flourish, so the rng will only really come into play in the time between those windows, and from what I see, it hasn't been too bad. It won't be like 4.X bard never getting a refulgent proc in your opener.
@@Eorzat I'm sorry about the changes to healers. It seems like they wanted to push healers to heal instead of being green-dps'ers. But we'll see how things evolve over time. Maybe the changes to the healing classes will improve their dps as they have more healing tools available while the dps "rotation" is simplified. We'll see.
Sean O'Neil I don’t really mind any changes to healers. It’s just how much they’re changing the card system for AST in particular that’s worrying. A lot of the class identity is getting removed and/or altered, so it’s going to be interesting to see how it all plays out.
I mean I really like the control I feel while healing but I may just have to be a Dancer now. If nothing else I really like it's visual style so I can't see how I won't have fun with it.
After getting my dancer to 70 I could say most of the time I was lucky with the procs but sometimes it feels bad to just spam two buttons, the most fun skill is the dash it feels good to use and the reason I picked the class
>"We're removing all the RNG from machinist because it was part of why the class sucked." >"Dancer is heavily reliant on RNG, please look forward to it."
Hey there :) First of all, thanks to Mr Happy for all your videos and support to the community you are just great! Question really random, will the DNC share gear with BRD/MCH right?
The only thing that seems really weird to me is Windmill and Rising Windmill. While Windmill is only 150 potency it doesn't have any aoe falloff whereas Rising Windmill might do more damage to your primary target but actually less damage than normal Windmill to all other targets.
Now imagine two dancers, an AST, and a WAR together in a dungeon. I am very excited for this class, though I do hope they smooth some things out a little.
Espree, indeed, I was coming to say that. Other thing, but "En Avant" is pronounced like the "an" sound in Urianger, so it sounds like "An Navan" and it roughly translates to "go forwards"
DNC sounds SOOO fun. I was so worried about it after seeing the Job Trailer and Yoshida playing it thinking it was just going to spend the whole fight buffing. So glad that it sounds like it's more than that.
Is Esprit generation determined by damage or attack speed. If it's determined by attack speed, which I'm expecting, I imagine the Monk and Ninja will be the most popular dance partners. If it's damage, maybe that'll encourage people to bring a Samurai to the raid.
@@slrkthnslkrtnhlskrthlrskrlt Because languages work differently, and when you put letters together they form particular sounds in different dialects; hence phlegm isn't pronounced puh-ha-leg-em, and knee isn't pronounced kuh-nee, and laugh isn't pronounced lah-ug-uh. If all languages followed the same grammatical rules, it would be a lot easier to learn other languages.
I know SE said they're trying to get rid of the meta, but I can't help but feel with how things stand now, DNC and NIN (which still has TA) are going to be required by a lot of groups. Hopefully I'm wrong.
I keep seeing people comment on dancer and saber dance being OP?... I guess... but I have to ask what about battle litany? It’s on a 3 minute cd albeit but it adds 15% aoe crit and if we total the percentage points equates to 120% points every 3mins where as dancer gives 90 over a 3 minute time period. I could be wrong but when I consider this truth it doesn’t seem so “OP” imo. What does everyone else think? Edit: actually it would be 180 since it targets 2 ppl. Which still doesn’t seem all that bad seeing as it’s only the 2 players.
@MrHappy1227 Do you have any idea what the main stat is going to be of the DNC? I imagined it would be DEX, but I wanted to level a character to park at 60 and wanted to know what gear I should be aiming for.
so the 50% proc moved off from machinist to dancer,my question in why? so they can make chemist or puppet master and move 50% to them? its confusing to keep it at all
Does Technical Step damage buff stack on you and your partner with your current Standard Step buff? On the UI, it only shows the Standard Step buff duration? What happens on the UI if you do a Technical Step?
I was super scared about dancer as it will be the first time I've mained a dps in an MMO (putting down healing). So i was so worried about not being able to do its rotation but seeing how it plays out seems super fun and reactive!!! I'm excited now!!!!!!!!!
So, im very hyped for dancer, but it seems that while MCH got completly reworked, DNC got uts playstyle.. almost every skill is based off of a 50% proc? Thats what made me hate MCH so much. Oh well, guess i need to play it first before i judge
On the bright side, you can still combo from 1 to 2 even if it doesn't proc and each one has their own chance to proc something better. With mch, if you didn't have ammo, it was just pressing 1, 1, 1, 1 while praying for a proc. I think it'll work better here because of how dnc flows, but we'll see.
From looking at other videos, I think it overwrites each other. Though I haven't seen anyone test a two dancer team, but I'd be surprised if they stacked. If anything it would just be 2 dance partners and you back and forth technical step.. very similar to taking turns on foe w/ a multi bard team.
It looks incredibly fast paced with a high skill ceiling, absolutely loving the looks of it! thanks for the hard work on this video happy!
I did MCH in 3.0 and RDM in 4.0....SE has been training me on Procs...This is the culmination of all my hard work..Bring it!
Your training is incomplete without BRD in 4.0
Same.
Maybe there's hope for us yet.
I'm just shook that Minfillia is actually doing something.
I legit had to go back and double check because I honestly thought I read it wrong or it was one of the other guys trolling lol
by doing something you mean dps ? anyone who's not doing dps is not doing anything.
She is a rogue as well. She picked up a few things apparently while being in the first
she can successfully proc trick attack
in one 5.0 dungeon Minfillia has managed to accomplish more than she ever did in the entirety of 2.0-4.5

I am happy as I play on PC but with a controller so yeah this pretty much perfect for me.
the visuals reminds me of Sun Shang Xiang from Dynasty Warriors.
Faccttss
Heck thats why i was initially interested in the job, but it sounds overly complicated. Like Ninja.
I see it coming.....Sun Shang Xiang glamour style soon...

Looks like MCH gave all their RNG to dancer 😅
Eh. I mean Drg used to have that same rng of 50% on certain skills. Think it works for dance because of how many skills you will be pumping out anyway
@@Jamestismyname Yeah it could work out for them in the end. Just have to wait and see! I'm still looking forward to trying it out 😁
Good, Dnc can have it, lol
@@markhettenbach3141 right? Lol
It'll probably work out better for them anyway. That RNG killed MCH.
I’m so excited to play Dancer I have been waiting sooooo long and to see its partially how so new it would is really a proud moment. Oh it’s time to Dance 💃
Here's the new and improved monk from heavenward
utility monk. sides positionals are changed to range positionals.

The fact that you mentioned Stepmania makes me happy. Haven't heard that name in years.
I'm sold for Dancer. This looks super fun

A nice nice video. I like the dps/support roles and im 100% on dancer. I cant wait!!!
Dancer sounds like a lot of fun, I analyzed this video thoroughly to understand the job. Can't wait to try it.
I didn't get this confused since i tried ninja for the first time. Great video thanks.

Those potencies seem insane to me on those dances and all their other skills and that support is amazing. No really R.I.P bard /s'

Mr. Happy, are you Todd Howard now?
Thanks for the quick and easy explanation video on DNC moves.
Lot of this was changed
"unless you really want to play stepmania on your keyboard" welp time to map them to Z, X, Up arrow, and Right arrow.
Wow. Looks amazing. Meanwhile, AST.

Minfillia is a freakin' ROGUE?!?!??!! I have so many questions right now lmao xD
CalCrazy
Thancred probably taught her to be a Rogue as he takes up Gunbreaking.
I don't know what to think looking at all this. Hopefully it feels intuitive once I get it in game.
Now to go look for a revealing aura male outfit...
The level 44 dungeon has what you need.
I think I am in love with a job for the first time since 2004! Thank you Mr. Happy for showing this! You're awesome!
Sean O'Neil That’s how I felt with AST, and, well, it’s not looking too good...

Dancer new range dps jobs. That stands in melee dps range.
I mean RDM did it, so why not DNC
@@mikeypon768 rdm is a magic dps
Lune I was talking about RDM’s melee combo...Also it still fights from range, so
Omg looks like I have a lot to learn thanks for the vids happy :)
Holy shit, dancer is proc mania. Gonna be fun to try to optimize with. I definitely will be leveling this on release :)
I just realized I was not subscribed to you. Even though on my homepage I find all of your videos. Thanks UA-cam
Me a few days ago: I hate the rng of mch, hopefully dnc will be good.
Me currently: i hate the rng of dnc, hopefully mch will be good.
I mean I really like the control I feel while healing but I may just have to be a Dancer now. If nothing else I really like it's visual style so I can't see how I won't have fun with it.

Oh man. Dancer really does look good.
Before Video; Didn't pay too much mind to dancer
After Video: I fucking need this!!!!!
I hope Dancer will be good because I’m thinking of playing this job in the expansion
good job on all the videos
Damn, this looks like a class that has a lot of buttons to press. Loving it already
Wow. They weren't kidding that DNC was going to be OP at release...and that was an understatement...
This video is making me want a play dancer that much more. Good video Mr. Happy. Also can't wait till shadowbringers 28 days is taking forever.
>"We're removing all the RNG from machinist because it was part of why the class sucked."
>"Dancer is heavily reliant on RNG, please look forward to it."
Dancer is the new Machinist
Yikes SE
DNC has more party utility than MCH did to compensate for the RNG tho
@@CulturedDegenerate more like more party utility than all dps combined in ShB^^
played dancers on ff11... hoped for a dancer release with the preorder of arr.. cant wait until next month to try this out!
im so excited for shadowbringers!
Hey there :) First of all, thanks to Mr Happy for all your videos and support to the community you are just great! Question really random, will the DNC share gear with BRD/MCH right?
I like the dance partner additional effect because you can sort of be a melee healer by making the melee dps proc aoe heal XD. lol
Dancer looks good and I'm gonna most probably main it.
O_O something tells me dancer is gonna be best dps class for raids and dungeons
The new dps meta is here.
@@pantherman8719 probs gonna enjoy it after bard
Can't wait for 6.0 to be a male viera dancer
The only thing that seems really weird to me is Windmill and Rising Windmill. While Windmill is only 150 potency it doesn't have any aoe falloff whereas Rising Windmill might do more damage to your primary target but actually less damage than normal Windmill to all other targets.
I now know what my F1-F4 keys will be on dancer.
Dancer seems to be exactly what I wanted. Now where the hell is my WAR video so I can really be conflicted over what to level first?!
Level Dancer first for easy exp from MQS and spam dungeons with warrior until 80 with insta queues !! :)
Level them all simultaneously!!!
Now imagine two dancers, an AST, and a WAR together in a dungeon. I am very excited for this class, though I do hope they smooth some things out a little.
This sounds so cool.
wait.. so they moved the rng from machinist to dancer... haha
I love dancer sooo much !!!
At least it seems like they got one of their performance based classes to feel like it should.
It‘s pronounced ‚espri‘
Im pleasantly surprised. This looks so much fun!!! this is my dps main for sure!!
Rdm and machinist hve the same proc values in 4.0 but...RDM worked i will never understand it. I pray dancer has the rdm luck
"It just works"
Ok so Liquid Drum and Bass + Raid + Dancer Class ! YES the only other music dancing class in any other game is Octavia from Warframe
Is it esprit or "espree" like the lotus esprit?
seeing as how Dancer seems to be a France-inspired job like RDM, it's the french word for Spirit and yeah, it'd be pronounced like you wrote
Espree, indeed, I was coming to say that. Other thing, but "En Avant" is pronounced like the "an" sound in Urianger, so it sounds like "An Navan" and it roughly translates to "go forwards"
DNC sounds SOOO fun. I was so worried about it after seeing the Job Trailer and Yoshida playing it thinking it was just going to spend the whole fight buffing. So glad that it sounds like it's more than that.
That’s one nimble muscle male lion.
Torn between summoner and dancer...might flip a coin.
Why not both?
*carrying heavy load for all my classes*
Oh I'll do both but gonna level one to 80 first. Depends on if I can't wait to jump into shadowbringers story lol.
DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION “TECHNO MUSIC”
I'm curious as to the fact that, how do you play dancer doing stone sea sky?
Summon a chocobo and make it your dance partner. Put the chocobo on follow mode (passive) so it doesn't attack the dummy.
Is Esprit generation determined by damage or attack speed. If it's determined by attack speed, which I'm expecting, I imagine the Monk and Ninja will be the most popular dance partners. If it's damage, maybe that'll encourage people to bring a Samurai to the raid.
main has been decided
So...do you actually have to stand in melee range for most of your abilities like you seem to be in the video, or do they have decent range on them?
he said the aoe is point blank/melee, you can see the single target attacks are 25y (including fan dance 1 & 3)
The single target abilities have a 27yalm range, at least in this video, which is the same distance as bard.
The dances are 15y RADIUS so no you don’t have to be point blank unless you are AOEing just like brd/mch.
Wait.... 1500 potency?
I wasn't excites until I realize theres probably 70-80's themed glamour
I will dance for all, no tips needed.
esprit is pronounced with a silent t (uh·spree).

Do Technical Finish and Standard finish stack? Or can only one be up at a time? Tried to keep an eye on the buff bar but I couldn't tell.
I was hoping the dancer would be a debuffer like in FF Tactics. Still, this looks fun.
Saber dance and war inner release plus super felcleave and glint. Bruh.
So dancer we thinking scouting or aiming for gear
Hey so looked a misc video on mtqcapture shows they will have aiming
I keep seeing people comment on dancer and saber dance being OP?... I guess... but I have to ask what about battle litany?
