I always feel so bad for a healer that keeps dying in a dungeon. Not all that long ago, I was PLD in the 97 dungeon, and our poor healer kept dying against the first boss. After two wipes, I mastered my support role, and although the healer's day didn't get any better against the remaining bosses, we did manage to clear without any wipes past the first boss.
Same, even good players it can happen to. I've had a "bad day" as well...laughing about it is the best you can do, especially if the tank can back it up really well
For M4's cannon I just count how many times in a row she shoots from each side, so I'll count out loud 11211 for example, and then just remember it as 1211 for the pattern, each number pertaining to the number of blasts on that side before the next swap.
I just say stay or switch out loud and remember the sequence. Much easier for me to know it's start, laser, switch, laser, switch, laser then to start playing with numbers for example.
Personally I like callouts and solutions that use the least amount of information necessary, both because it's faster to communicate and I find it often reduces confusion, so I use a similar strat to caetsu, just different wording. I think of them as stay and swap rather than double and single, and since the only variability between appearances of the mechanic are when the double/stay shows up and which side it starts from that information just boils down to which shot you stay after. So for that 1211 pattern it would be "stay on 2" for me and my friends. And you just know that you start on the safe side and every other shot is a swap.
Love to see Paladin in the field! And that glitchy cannon when you defeat M4N, it's always funny, seen it many times! I'm going to have to check your upcoming Paladin guide and see if my rotation differs from it. The way I do it right now, is that I try to have Sepulchre within Fight or Flight as often as possible. And I just realized when you publish your guides, you have just before that grinded mentor roulette with the job the guide is for.😊
I've heard some people who were playing when HW was current say that they actually considered Bismarck Extreme *easier* than Bismarck normal despite the changes to extreme just because they had their full kit for the extreme.
I hate M4 because my connection isn't great. Not terrible, but not great all the time. Seeing myself get debuffs and take damage from a laser fired in the opposite direction is downright infuriating.
Something about "All's well that ends well" the only thing that needs to die is the final sprite named "Briaxiao of the wel"l so someone not having aoe is very little, especially since you had a ninja who has trick by that time. Edit woops Ninja has mug not TA
Yeah that makes sense, although I guess it could actually get a bit dangerous to pull it all to the boss if a silence cast is missed or something! 😂 But thanks for the tip!
It feels so bad to die as a healer multiple times in a dungeon, I have to resist the urge to say "guys i promise i know how to play" in chat. Depending on the dungeon it usually doesnt really matter, I just know the dps are thinking "there he goes again :I"
M2n and M4n are my favorite fights of the expansion. I dont know why but i personally do weirdly well at M2n and have yet to get hit by a single unnecessary hits across all of my runs. Then i cry when M3n shows up and makes me look stupid
12212 would be the pattern you showed.... or well something of that nature. what i do is whatever is first on the initial cannon gets 1, the second gets 2, but using BOOBO also would work. would be far clearer too, maybe i should swap to that. lol
Personally I face towards the destroyed area and keep track of which side the attack goes towards, for example LRLLR or RLLRL. That way it corresponds with the direction I have to go.
@@mariolink5283 thats what chai mentioned, but... My brain does not work that way. Just like how oxox in dal is by far a better callout. You tell me to go left I will go right. You tell me to go right I will go left, I will point left say right, and my pointing the the correct direction. So... Left and right strats make no sense to me.
Is piercing/slashing etc damage still a thing? I remember coming across those mob buffs in T2 recently but couldn't find anything recent to say if jobs still had the specific attack type? And if they do, I wonder if they also still add it to new jobs? 🤔
Damage types do exist, but in nearly all cases they don't matter 🤔😊 I am actually not sure if that piercing buff reduced the damage they took since I didn't look at my teams damage numbers! 😅
@SampoPaalanen red mages fleche, contre sixte, corps, engagement and displacement are all physical damage. The enchanted melee combo is magic damage though yes 😊
@@CaetsuChaijiCh Then it's question how much damage would those do in this case as the -piercing damage is not 100% so if majority of the Red Mage's damage is magical already they probably experienced very little drop in their overall damage even if there was a drop. I've not played my RDM in while (or FF14 in general to be honest) so I'm not sure.
I just hit 2000 mentor roulettes and hanging up my crown. They desperately need to change the mentor system. More clear guidelines for what a mentor is and isn’t. More rewards to keep mentors mentoring. Decreasing the amount of guildhests and ARR extremes.
Or just remove the rewards so that only those people mentor who actually want to help people .instead of mentors that are greedy for rewards and don't do shit helping sprouts
@@Maha-gx4zmI think removing the reward would be a good idea. didn’t care about the sprouts at all during my grind I just wanted the mount and glad I finally have it.
It is a difficult balance to strike. Even among the players that become mentors to help, a significant portion initially get motivated from a reward, but the fact a reward always would attract players that also don't care at all makes it hard 😅
14:05 it really bugs me when you have mechanics like this that were quite obviously designed with a Japanese connection in mind. Having snapshots occur when an animation for a previous attack is going off feels really... just mean spirited.
Another fun mentor roulette video! Does this mean a paladin guide is on the way? I am thinking about playing it more and will look forward to it whenever you’re able to get to that one!
God I do not miss paladin's mage phase xD I love the memories of older expansions that your fun facts at the end bring back. Always enjoy your videos ^^
Got Fractal Continuum just yesterday while practicing tanking on duty roulette funnily enough as paladin too, a shame I didnt get to watch this video beforehand it definitely would have helped on how to play this dungeon (Trying to practice wall to wall only to get to that one section where the mobs spawn with their entire family lineage killing me) Your vids have been a godsent for me to learn what to expect in certain dungeons and learning mechanics for bosses so thanks a lot, cant wait for the next mentor roulettes!
PLD mage phase was fun. I remember in o11s, PLD could do some ranged baits with HG. So you stood there in a corner, casting, while everyone else did a hectic mechanic.
5:10 The green/blue debuffs don't affect your damage, they make the same-color add reflect damage back at you! If you look closely, you can you're taking damage from "Reflect" each time you attack. That's why you took such a beating.

That's great at least!
And yes I also feel bad, especially if the healer is actively having a bad time over it 🥺

The coloured debuffs in Bismarck ex are a damage reflect, hence the beating you were suffering 😂
That explains! I only remembered the guide saying to attack the opposite color! 😂🤣
Silly Caetsu, every day is a good day in mentor roulette! You just might not be the one having it!
Hahaha that is a funny way to put it! 🤣

Indeed! 😁
Yeah the fight or flight is a lot about filling with the best you have 😊
I've heard some people who were playing when HW was current say that they actually considered Bismarck Extreme *easier* than Bismarck normal despite the changes to extreme just because they had their full kit for the extreme.
I guess that does make sense in a way! Some jobs got some big stuff between the normal and extreme versions! 😂
I hate M4 because my connection isn't great. Not terrible, but not great all the time. Seeing myself get debuffs and take damage from a laser fired in the opposite direction is downright infuriating.
That makes good sense yeah, and I wonder if there is anything you can even do about it 😰

I am sure you will figure out m3n eventually! 😄

No jump .only floor tanking 🎉
There's far down!
Ngl I kinda miss mage phase paladin
It was a lot more unique indeed!

Think it's mostly physical, magical, and unique until it's like specific mechanics for some alliance raids and BLU
Damage types do exist, but in nearly all cases they don't matter 🤔😊
I am actually not sure if that piercing buff reduced the damage they took since I didn't look at my teams damage numbers! 😅
@@CaetsuChaijiCh I'm pretty sure the empowered melee attacks on Red Mage count as magical and you really shouldn't be doing basic melee anyway.
@SampoPaalanen red mages fleche, contre sixte, corps, engagement and displacement are all physical damage.

you get healers that esuna? i joke, but yeah😂
Yeah sometimes you wonder how they forget such a crucial skill! 😅
I've seen multiple healers in either Fractal Continuum or Syrcus Tower not realize(or not know?) that you can Esuna the Bomb status from players

7:58 I got dohn mheg in roulette recently and was blindsided by the lack of healing on the holy spirit attacks. "Why am I losing HP so fast?!" XD
14:05 it really bugs me when you have mechanics like this that were quite obviously designed with a Japanese connection in mind. Having snapshots occur when an animation for a previous attack is going off feels really... just mean spirited.
I get that yeah, it is weird though, since I still have to move like that on 20ms, so I can't imagine even having 0ms would change much! 😅
Another fun mentor roulette video! Does this mean a paladin guide is on the way? I am thinking about playing it more and will look forward to it whenever you’re able to get to that one!
Yes! 😁 Recently I've been trying to line it up so the mentor set matches the job guide, so it'll be on Wednesday! 😄

In my defense, the rather old guide I found on it I don't think actually explained why! 😂
