As a longtime Dancer Main looking to soon be Warrior Main after finally getting over tank anxiety, I can confirm that there is nothing going on in my head
As a warrior main you slip into a trance when you enter a dungeon blacking out….skipping over mechanics as you are possessed by the unholy spirit known as the ungga bungga, no think only kill
@@ragnargrimnar I won’t lie. I said the same thing. I have all tanks maxed, and war is def the most op in terms of survivability, so many ppl consider it “easiest” but tbh, gnb is easy cuz like half of its attacks share the same handful of buttons, and u just spam them. If u can click 2-3 buttons over and over semi fast, you can play GNB. Mch is kinda the same way too. It’s just button spam, not rly “hard”
Yeah, as someone who mains SMN, DNC, RPR and WHM, I can concur with all of his comments. I'm an old lady with shaky hands, so if I can play those classes, anyone can play those classes.
As someone who mained DRG this last expack I feel greatly undervalued. Do you ever get attacked by the floor? EXACTLY! It’s because us DRG mains tank the floor for you!
i dont know what everyone is on about RDMs looking stupid/weird. they're fancy as fuck duelists. inigo montoya vibes. i love the aesthetics of the job but really only play it to help with rezing in harder content because im hot garbage at handling both mechanics and a rotation.
Basically it is generally understood that if you are tanking as a Warrior past a certain level in a dungeon, it is on you if you die. Raids and lower level content is a different matter, the former due to insta-kill mechanics and the latter due to your self-sustain being not as prevalent.
@@sovest555 you should be using it prepull every time tho, similar to how healers and casters prepull a spell as you don't lose anything from doing it and it's free damage
It’s is hilarious and painfully slow to solo bosses as warrior after everyone else dies in a dungeon. I could wipe to beat it faster but do it just cause I can.
I like au ra because of Azim steppe lol the tribes there are notorious they are strong enough to give the empire a headache and they aren't even an army they have given garleans more trouble than the entire Eorzean alliance and I love it.
@@Tog4Real debatable. The class fantasy of new summoner is generrally considered much better and coherient, but i do miss the old summoner play style a lot.
@@hellfrozenphoenix13 Honestly, I remember when I hated Monk, and loved Summoner. Boy, did current expansion make me 180 on both. Summoner was fun because in dungeons, your Egi were swapped based on situations, managed dots, many burst, could emergency heal. It just felt Rewarding. Now I feel like I'm just playing a Boring Power Fantasy, if I wanted a brain dead auto pilot job, I'd have played RDM. MNK, before EW? "Why the hell would I use this? Minus a few things, Samurai is more consistent and even has ranged options when I need to back off. Greased Lightning before wasn't great." People complained, saying it had too many positions, when that was never the same. It had too many gimmicks thrown onto it, and the "Fist of" skills, could have been turned into different GDCs, or combos. And some skills were just meh. Now they feel amazing to play, lose none of the complicity when it comes to move input, and overall great. Minus not having a universal projectile, it had the best 180, without losing it's skill ceiling. It's amazing now. I used to love Summoner, now I feel insulted playing as one. "It's like Black Mage, but for people who hate Black Mage. Where Red Mage, is Human Resources Managers in Raids." No, I will not elaborate.
As a dancer main and now having leveled up summoner and played it’s rotation I have to say summoner is basically the easier version of dancer 😂 there’s no rng and the only time you ever have to stand still is for ifrit. It’s essentially a magic dancer :p
@@timonthyfox6099 since the cast and recasttime for the Ifritspells are both 3 secs you want to hardcast both and use Swift-Cast on Slipstream during Garuda. You'll also have like 1-2 filler Ruin III to not drift Bahamut and Searing Light so you have usually 3 casttimes/per min. Yeah SMN is basically a physical range with better damage.
Dancer main - you get to play a fun game of “can I get top dps even though I’m not supposed to” in regular content. And the claim 50% of the top dps’ dps in hard content. It’s all mine I swear.
It's nice to see someone like Auri women T^T And fully agree as a healer main, personally started as a scholar, then to astro, then sage. White Mage was my last one to level
I don’t know how to feel about Kou confidently stating that DNC is the easiest job of all time and then directly proceeding to show footage of using an aoe skill not even in range on a single target boss (･_･;
Honestly dnc is quite busy in endwalker, feel like a lot of ppl who say it's the easiest just think of its shadowbringers iteration. Currently I think smn is the easiest job atm
From what I hear (as a dnc main) it’s basically the ranged equivalent to NIN: a lot of no brain filler but you need to shove EVERY BUTTON EVER into the 20 second burst.
As a WHM main.... agree. I love my THICC GCDs. I love Holy. I love my wings. I REALLY love my Bell. Mana and cast times are pretty much the only thing between me and brute-forcing a party recovery, and neither of these are much of an issue if the right cooldowns are available. Other healers may be better, but this is the one for me and my smooth brain.
As one the runs WHM as a second main. Mana is never a problem. In the content that allows it, DoT+Regen+Medica II = never ending supply of lillies. Add in four shield abilities, a heal increase, and a heal increase with damage reduction. Most of the time presence of mind, lucid dreaming, swiftcast, and the two charges of no manna cost just sit on my bar. If my mana is low, things have gone completely sideways, or I've just spammed glare that much. If that's the case, like RDM, I try to use Lucid at 6k mana. So 90% of the time, I have like 8k mana, 2 charges of free cast, and swiftcast just sitting there waiting for someone to die.
Another plus for dancer is if you’re positioned in a dangerous zone you just ✨dash✨ out of it. And at lvl 90 you can do it 3 times. The number of times I saved my ass just by gracefully moving through the battlefield while screaming in my head, and ending up completely unharmed it’s too big to count 😌
I changed to Warrior main for the new raid tier and honestly.....It's just beautiful. Sure the dps isn't good right now, even after the recent patch it sucks a little, but it hasn't been so bad that I felt like my party couldn't clear because of it or anything. The upside is just how much sustain you get for it. With healers having to actually heal this tier it is just super comfortable knowing you have Bloodwhetting, Thrill, Equilibrium, Shake available to get through close calls for you or raidwides for the party. And yeah.....you are almost unkillable outside of savage, ex and ultimates. If your party sucks, just solo the higher lvl dungeon bosses. There are not many things more satisfying in ff than solo killing the boss while the rest of the party is cheering for you in chat. :D
End of the video Kougaon is absolutely right. As I've told people before, "anyone can play RPR, its easy. Playing one right though is like trying to understand lament configurations with consequences almost as dire."
Healer wise, I honestly feel Sage might be easier. None of your healing kit is tied to dps, you’ve got a billion oGCDs, almost all of your relevant healing skills can be used while moving, you don’t have any dps complexity whatsoever outside of keep up dot and phlegma in buffs. It feels to me like the healer that has to plan the least and can play it by ear easiest without needing to sacrifice dps.
You've also got all the tools of a scholar except expedient & chain, but your tools are better, not tied to the fairy, and you can trivialise the DPS check on Barbariccia extreme with a couple of oGCDs while the scholar cannot hope to solo heal it if the fight didn't go exactly according to plan! Sage is easy to learn, easy to master and just a better scholar, but scholar is more rewarding for a player & a static who know what they're doing & are able to plan and execute strategies perfectly.
@@symphicat I feel like your last paragraph perfectly sums up what it means to play Scholar! Their job fantasy is all about being calculated and battle plans. It makes total sense for their job to profit off of good execution, as annoying as it can be. 🥲
sge is so incredibly powerful once you get the hang of it, but i dont think id ever recommend it to a new player. maybe its because i dont come from an mmo background, but the concept and playstyle of shield healers runs so contrary to like, all other healers in other videogames ive ever played that its just really hard at first.
@@thesabotagedandovershadowe8423 What do you feel is contrary about them? I feel like Sage has a very straightforward and easy to conceptualize playstyle and it's healing throughput outside of mitigation and shielding is more than enough to cover any mistakes in those departments. A new player is highly unlikely to be doing content where shielding or optimal mitigation is necessary, so I feel like you can kind of stumble through and explore those aspects of the kit. I think the only real hurdle is just having someone tell you how good Keracole is and to basically keep it on CD, but I feel like the remainder of the kit is very obvious in its usage and power level just from the tooltip.
I'm the contrary. I have it harder with shield healers. Specially when bad things are happening (really bad ones XD) I think it has to be due tje mind set. Shield = prevent damage. Regen healer -ok damage coming let it happen, mitigation and refill. Nevertheless I love cohealing as whm with a good SCH. It makes runs be a breeze.
Me too, i think it because the shields lets our panic brain at ease so that people doesn't drop low all the time Meanwhile, playing WHM just suddenly "Why are you all taking soo much damage ;_; "
I started with WHM then went to SGE, AST and SCH, and I know why you feel that way, WHM is so clunky with the long cast times!! Personally, I prefer.. Slapping That Ground
@Kougaon You'd be surprised by the polarocity of FFXIV. I've run dungeons/trials/raids with so-called "geared end-game savage raiders," who I see constantly messing up on simple mechanics or who perform terribly in regular easy/beginner content. I've also run with newbie/beginner casual players who I swear were pro raiders who created an alt account (sure, they messed up a mechanic initially, but they learned it the second time around and owned their job/class). The same is true for the "easy" Jobs/Classes in FFXIV. I've heard many players who bash these "easy" or "mindless/braindead" Jobs/Classes in FFXIV, but yet they can't seem to play them effectively at all (Tanks: PLD and WAR; Healers: WHM and SGE; Melee DPS: RPR and SAM; Ranged PDPS: MCH; Casters: SMN and RDM). Inversely, just because a Job/Class is "difficult" or "complex" doesn't automatically make it "better" or "stronger" than the rest. ** Think of it this way -- The fewer spells/abilities you have to decide on, the fewer buttons you need to press, and the less you need to worry about positional; means less personal processing power and more time, focus, and energy can be spent on "getting into the zone" and simply doing what you do best. Inversely, the more spells/abilities you have which you need to decide on when, where, and how to utilize them best (let alone where to find them and use them on your hotbars), the more buttons you need to press and more frequently, and the more you need to worry about exact positions; means more personal processing power and less time, focus, and energy can be spent on "getting into the zone." Meaning, the chances of you messing up increase, and the chance of you performing optimally decreases. Probably, the single best advice anyone will give you in FFXIV, is to simply play whatever Job/Class YOU enjoy. Whichever one suits your playstyle best and whichever one you know inside and out and will inevitably play optimally at. You wouldn't believe the insane lengths game developers go through to try and make every single job/class viable and as balanced as possible. Ideally, they try to make it so regardless of whatever job/class a skilled player chooses, they should be pulling/performing roughly the same numbers (Enmity and Mitigation; Healing and Shielding; AoE and ST Attacks and DoT Damage).
As a French miqo'te maining machinist idk what to think about all the attacks but.. great video! I'm actually learning how to tank with warrior right now because I'm afraid of messing up so at least with that job I should still survive!
You get Reaper the moment you have a class on level 70. I have Reaper since Realm Reborn, lmao Edit: Of course you need the Endwalker DLC. But you don't need to reach the content of Endwalker.
I find that the Ninja's mudras are pretty easy to get a hang of if you play with an MMO mouse (which I get not everyone has, I had to buy my Logitech one second-hand). One of the reasons it became my main job is because I find it fun to do the inputs!
Learning black mage is easy... if it's the job you start with. And almost none of the skills transfer to any other job so leveling a new one is terrifying. That said, it's my favorite job and I'm super glad I played nothing _but_ black mage for over a year. The mobility at 90 is just as good as the other casters when you need it, and if you know the mechanics for a given fight you might not need it too often. The rotation isn't strict in the sense that a melee DPS has to hit 1,2,3 for max damage, so it's open to change a bit depending on the fight and you're not completely screwed out of your damage if something goes wrong. Just don't drop enochian. Ever. Even if it means you take a vuln stack. Yes, that means using Umbral Heart every 10 seconds between pulls.
@@gaijingai drg gcd loop is easy, but it also has the most positionals and doing those during your 2min burst with limited mobilit during jump spam makes it quite a bit harder than rpr. But if you dont care about drifting your shit etc then its pretty simple to play ye
It's kinda braindead on non-threatening levels such as dungeons but rather tricky on endgame boss raids where you have to get as much hits in, mind the formations/patterns and avoid triggering a wipe due to one mistake.
Started tanking recently because I was scared to do it before, but as a noob tank, I can already feel the difference between tanking as a PLD and tanking as a DRK. While both are cool and fun in their own way, PLD has a lot more buffs compared to DRK, so it makes it more challenging to tank as a DRK-but also more fun. Plus, you look badass with all the dark magic and gear. But as a SAM main, it was challenging to learn at first but once you play it for a while, you get it down.
Started bard, went gun breaker, tried dark knight, went back to bard. Why? I like bows and I'm a musician. Easy to start until song rotation becomes a thing. That action economy though.
apparently unpopular opinion: dancer has a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling. its rotation is extremely simple in concept, but using all your defensive cooldowns as much as possible (without clipping gcd in the case of improv) on top of fan management and ensuring you press all the buttons correctly during your tech/devilment window makes it a very proactive job--even more so than bard imo. I think optimizing dancer is harder than optimizing redmage, and I've played both in savage (tho i do be a shield heal main).
no offense, but that's not really unpopular, that's genuinely what most people know this video's purpose was more or less to showcase what jobs a newbie could pick if they want an accessible/"easy" job without learning 200 openers
This is true tho. This video cqn be looked at "low skill floor classes fkr eqch role". And Dancer is by far thw lowest skill floor in game. Now refining and fine tuning it can be harder, because it manages a few vital buffs at once. The same can be said for WHM. It can be trickier to manage its mana compared to most othwr healers and optimizing it can be hard in some cases, but it is the easiest of the healers to get into. Basically, i agree but the point of the video was for entry level is all im sayin.
The unpopular opinion would be to say the same about SAM. Since most people see SAM as HURR DURR ME WATCH STORMBLOOD MEMES and have no idea how the job plays now and how much skill expression there is.
@@azazamat i would agree. Sam can feel somewhat easy to get into on a baseline level. However, it has a lot of smaller things it must do to be optimized, and not all of it being clear. Such as skill speed determining when to convert Sen into Kenki to maximize damage output, having a cast time melee to worry about in fights (mechanics can sometimes force a fast change of plans), among the typical melee worries. The only "easy" melee imho is Reaper. Dragoon may not be complicated rotation wise, but its execution is tight which means a slip up in timing can cause a lot of trouble. Reaper has much less to track in my experience, so its execution is overall easier.
As a RPR main, that's why I love it. I struggle a lot remembering openers and positionals but RPR keeps it simple, while still letting me deal big damage.
People only say BLM is hard because its not dirt easy but in reality BLM is not hard, its just not easy. It’s actually kinda annoying how hard ppl try to go out of their way to say how “difficult “ it is when its not.
@@TheSpicyLeg i dont see how this contradicts their statement? Do yiu mean one cannot have 2 mains? Because you certainly can gear 2 roles to be BiS and play them close to the same amount of time. Not trying to sound abrassive if i am, genuine questioning here.
For those watching this and wondering what tank to play, give paladin a try if it looks good to you. I promise you it's fun. And take it from someone who plays all 4 in high end content, it can perform very well in high end content if you take the time to learn it and is very fun and a game changer for your party.
Miqo'te is best race for both genders, FIGHT ME!! As for best job for each role, Warrior (Paladin for 2nd), Scholar (White Mage for 2nd), Monk (Dragoo For 2nd), Bard (rest is trash), Red Mage because REZ MAGE!!!
When I started savage as DRK, I learned how tough it actually is and became quite the learning curve. I don't play it exactly the way the balance would want me too because I'm so used to the SHB opener that I mixed the new and old together for my comfort. Still have improvement with it, but I thought PLD was hard... HA. I could do PLD in my sleep. DRK I am not as masterful at it, but it's my main and I will get better.
I personally prefer cat girls and I am a cat girl because I absolutely love all cats but Au'ra are adorable and must be treasured and headpat a lot too
I still laugh that coming from WoW i was always ranged or healer because i hated melee, so ofcourse what is the one and only job i have at lvl 90...... fucking ninja.... why why did i do this to myself
TBF Ninja is ranged for like 90% of its burst window which is also the only thing that really matters on ninja. I swear Ninja is more of a spellsword than RDM is.
dancer is not there to do big damage, dancer is there to look GOOD and that’s all that matters (also remember to do your aoe combo in melee range otherwise it’ll be useless 🫡)
I main GNB -- a class I took on mostly because it's modeled after my favorite FF character, lol. But it's so much fun, and practically a DPS masquerading as Tank given its immense amount of melee attacks. WAR is most efficient Tank, but GNB is the most fun, if you ask me.
As a warrior main, we only exist to wake up and choose hatred. And I guess keep the party sustained when the healer is lacking (or DPS decides to face pull).
White mage progression is weaving attacks between heals to weaving heals between attacks and letting your tank go dangerously close to dying so you maximize your DPS. Also spam holy
Dancer main, and yes, i agree on some points, but you WILL have a lot of plates spinning at once with GCDs so there is a little to workwith in their kit. Very versatile.

Idk, from experience anything that is dps is easier than healing, since with healing you have to focus on healthbars on top of your position related to other team members while not forgetting your own hp... and react quickly to low HP, while also putting some damage. If you are not focused on everything at the same time this can lead your whole team to failure, especially with harder bosses. My experience with DPS is that once you get used to your macro skills it is pretty chill, you just avoid damage and deal damage, you have no responsibilities. Healer in FFXIV is the only role in all MMOs I have played that actually made me sweat a little bit. However I read that endgame healer makes people sleep.
Concerning white mage a wise man once said "what do you do when the partys full health, what do you do when the partys full health or even half way up and standing, DPS the bad guy"
Catgirls are genuinely the more attractive race because even if they look like famboys, they're still even slightly attractive. Whereas Au Ra girls have a wide variety of ways they can look: They can look older, younger, trans, femboy, or even male. There are quite a few min height fem au ra who look like they are 16...15...14...and even as young as 13 years old... And you think sexualizing Lalas are bad...yet there are a lot of Lalas who look OLDER than some min height fem au ras. It's precisely why I chose to be max height fem au ra so that I at least look 21. Any other races, you'd have to work harder to make them look young, besides Lalas. But again, there are still Lalas who look older than some min height fem au ras.
me a dancer main: surprised pikachu face anyways, I love the class I started off as a black mage and switched to this.. so u can see why I really love it after the hell that was black mage lmao. Also I love au'ra they are literally the best female race in the entire game ngl, my au'ra is adorable af and I love her uwu
My Favorite Thing for no thoughts head empty Warrior is that Raw Intuition reads like heal on weaponskill cast, but it actually heals whenever a weaponskill hits an enemy. So the AoE abilities can full heal you if you slap a full crowd once.
Everyone in Balmung agrees with you. Cat girl in nothing but underwear=nah I'm good Dragon girl fully clothed= hey do you do erp? Hey do you do erp? Hey do you do erp? Yeah it gets old fast
Sadly I don't have dancer yet, but I hear dancer's theme and... Knowing that once you're rhythm your spinnies will kill them then!- DANCE IN THE WIND LIKE THAVNARIAN RHYTHMS AND KICKING AND FLIPPING THEIR CARRIANS INTO YOUR ALLIES SO THEY CAN A ANNIHILATE ALL THAT'S LEFT YAY NOW THEY'RE DEAD! 🎶
The funny thing about you saying anything but PLD is that Paladin was the first tank I played, and my experience going into Warrior can be sumarized as "where are my mitigations?"
I play all smol brain stuff! Its honestly mostly cuz Im a super casual player and dont want to worry toooo much about rotations but still be useful and not a burden to my team
Personally, I feel like Red Mage is a better job to get someone used to the idea of being a "caster" in the traditional sense because current Summoner actually doesn't even feel like a caster by comparison as so much of their kit is insta-cast. When I first picked up Red Mage when Stormblood launched I just marveled at the fact that I felt like I was right in between a Black Mage and a White Mage with better mobility (at the time) than Black Mage at the cost of less damage. Of course, since you can't START on Red Mage I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner but you are able to get it incredibly early as the MSQ gives you so much bloody XP that if you don't start splitting it between multiple jobs then your main job will hit level 60 before you even get to Heavensward. The last time I rolled a new character I played a Summoner/Scholar for the efficacy of leveling both a DPS and a healer at the same time and then switched to Red Mage/Scholar after Summoner hit 50 so that I wasn't wasting XP and instead funneling it into multiple jobs. I then grabbed Gunbreaker and Dancer at level 60 and Sage/Reaper at level 70 and pretty much had jobs to cover all of my bases for an alt character that I really only made to run through the story again fresh to see all the changes that have been made to the game.
FF14 is a memorization of dances game. All bosses do the same dance over and over. They don't adapt. Thus not a fight. A fight would require the enemy to adapt. You are only as good as the time you first enter a dungeon BLIND. No video, no guide. And If you wipe, then you lost that dance. Doesn't matter if you later clear it using the groundhog days powers of the WoL. Is a pity there is no ironman mode for the game. Or at least a "done in the first day" flag.
You had me at, "Scholar, if you want to RP a angry librarian and hit things with books" ...but the lost me at, "Red Mage...they look goofy. I don't like their outfits." I mean, excuse me??
I think the Summoner is easier than the dancer personally. With my summoner I just focus on dmg instead of making sure my buffs are constantly up while also doing damage.
6:42 this gets an award for making samurai look ridiculously complex. I tried Reaper and found it clunky and difficult, went right back to samurai. Some of the actions require a little thought, but honestly not much, and people aren't going to screech at you for not earning sen gauge in the most optimal manner, or for overcapping ur kenki, or for not using hagakure to use some ideal iaijutsu for an aoe... nobody cares about that!

@@hellfrozenphoenix13 Honestly, I remember when I hated Monk, and loved Summoner. Boy, did current expansion make me 180 on both.
Summoner was fun because in dungeons, your Egi were swapped based on situations, managed dots, many burst, could emergency heal. It just felt Rewarding. Now I feel like I'm just playing a Boring Power Fantasy, if I wanted a brain dead auto pilot job, I'd have played RDM.
MNK, before EW? "Why the hell would I use this? Minus a few things, Samurai is more consistent and even has ranged options when I need to back off. Greased Lightning before wasn't great." People complained, saying it had too many positions, when that was never the same. It had too many gimmicks thrown onto it, and the "Fist of" skills, could have been turned into different GDCs, or combos. And some skills were just meh. Now they feel amazing to play, lose none of the complicity when it comes to move input, and overall great. Minus not having a universal projectile, it had the best 180, without losing it's skill ceiling. It's amazing now.
I used to love Summoner, now I feel insulted playing as one. "It's like Black Mage, but for people who hate Black Mage. Where Red Mage, is Human Resources Managers in Raids." No, I will not elaborate.
dont forget early SHB SMN is playing piano lol
And looks cool.
I wanted to play Dragoon... thank the twelve I bumped into this video and saved myself from playing a class made by the french
Thank you so much
What is the problem with dragoon made by french?
Dragooons take clear Japanese inspiration tho
How else would you explain dragoon jumps and ww2 kamikaze tactics
@@OfficialDjTalksick this is the best drg related comment I've ever saw in my life so far 🤣 🤣
The Dragoons are what ?
This man starts talking about summoner and he stops being little sun and turns into little larryzaur
As a dancer main and now having leveled up summoner and played it’s rotation I have to say summoner is basically the easier version of dancer 😂 there’s no rng and the only time you ever have to stand still is for ifrit. It’s essentially a magic dancer :p
first cast hard cast, second cast swiftcast? whole job can cleanly be macro'ed into one button almost >.>
@@timonthyfox6099 since the cast and recasttime for the Ifritspells are both 3 secs you want to hardcast both and use Swift-Cast on Slipstream during Garuda.
You'll also have like 1-2 filler Ruin III to not drift Bahamut and Searing Light so you have usually 3 casttimes/per min.
Yeah SMN is basically a physical range with better damage.
100% got dancer right. Assign dance partner at the start, then push the buttons that light up. It's so easy and you look good doing it.
Dancer main - you get to play a fun game of “can I get top dps even though I’m not supposed to” in regular content. And the claim 50% of the top dps’ dps in hard content. It’s all mine I swear.
How simple are warriors? The main class questgiver is named Curious Gorge.
They knew what they were doing.
It's nice to see someone like Auri women T^T And fully agree as a healer main, personally started as a scholar, then to astro, then sage. White Mage was my last one to level
I don’t know how to feel about Kou confidently stating that DNC is the easiest job of all time and then directly proceeding to show footage of using an aoe skill not even in range on a single target boss (･_･;
Honestly dnc is quite busy in endwalker, feel like a lot of ppl who say it's the easiest just think of its shadowbringers iteration. Currently I think smn is the easiest job atm
@@anthony26812 bro ima summoner main and damn your right. Its kinda nice tho after dot hell.
@@anthony26812 ever since edw dropped im playing piano on my keyboard during every burst (help me)
From what I hear (as a dnc main) it’s basically the ranged equivalent to NIN: a lot of no brain filler but you need to shove EVERY BUTTON EVER into the 20 second burst.
i see glowing button, i press it
As a WHM main.... agree. I love my THICC GCDs. I love Holy. I love my wings. I REALLY love my Bell. Mana and cast times are pretty much the only thing between me and brute-forcing a party recovery, and neither of these are much of an issue if the right cooldowns are available. Other healers may be better, but this is the one for me and my smooth brain.
As one the runs WHM as a second main. Mana is never a problem. In the content that allows it, DoT+Regen+Medica II = never ending supply of lillies. Add in four shield abilities, a heal increase, and a heal increase with damage reduction. Most of the time presence of mind, lucid dreaming, swiftcast, and the two charges of no manna cost just sit on my bar. If my mana is low, things have gone completely sideways, or I've just spammed glare that much. If that's the case, like RDM, I try to use Lucid at 6k mana. So 90% of the time, I have like 8k mana, 2 charges of free cast, and swiftcast just sitting there waiting for someone to die.
Another plus for dancer is if you’re positioned in a dangerous zone you just ✨dash✨ out of it. And at lvl 90 you can do it 3 times. The number of times I saved my ass just by gracefully moving through the battlefield while screaming in my head, and ending up completely unharmed it’s too big to count 😌
I changed to Warrior main for the new raid tier and honestly.....It's just beautiful. Sure the dps isn't good right now, even after the recent patch it sucks
a little, but it hasn't been so bad that I felt like my party couldn't clear because of it or anything. The upside is just how much sustain you get for it.
With healers having to actually heal this tier it is just super comfortable knowing you have Bloodwhetting, Thrill, Equilibrium, Shake available to get through
close calls for you or raidwides for the party. And yeah.....you are almost unkillable outside of savage, ex and ultimates. If your party sucks, just solo the higher lvl dungeon bosses.
There are not many things more satisfying in ff than solo killing the boss while the rest of the party is cheering for you in chat. :D
Dragoon is my melee DPS class and I am also a bit of a Ouiaboo, so I am feeling pretty insulted right now by you Kou.
End of the video Kougaon is absolutely right. As I've told people before, "anyone can play RPR, its easy. Playing one right though is like trying to understand lament configurations with consequences almost as dire."
Healer wise, I honestly feel Sage might be easier. None of your healing kit is tied to dps, you’ve got a billion oGCDs, almost all of your relevant healing skills can be used while moving, you don’t have any dps complexity whatsoever outside of keep up dot and phlegma in buffs. It feels to me like the healer that has to plan the least and can play it by ear easiest without needing to sacrifice dps.
You've also got all the tools of a scholar except expedient & chain, but your tools are better, not tied to the fairy, and you can trivialise the DPS check on Barbariccia extreme with a couple of oGCDs while the scholar cannot hope to solo heal it if the fight didn't go exactly according to plan!
Sage is easy to learn, easy to master and just a better scholar, but scholar is more rewarding for a player & a static who know what they're doing & are able to plan and execute strategies perfectly.
Problem is juggling oGCD's is kinda annoying cause you gotta constantly click on and off the boss.
@@symphicat I feel like your last paragraph perfectly sums up what it means to play Scholar! Their job fantasy is all about being calculated and battle plans. It makes total sense for their job to profit off of good execution, as annoying as it can be. 🥲
sge is so incredibly powerful once you get the hang of it, but i dont think id ever recommend it to a new player. maybe its because i dont come from an mmo background, but the concept and playstyle of shield healers runs so contrary to like, all other healers in other videogames ive ever played that its just really hard at first.
@@thesabotagedandovershadowe8423 What do you feel is contrary about them? I feel like Sage has a very straightforward and easy to conceptualize playstyle and it's healing throughput outside of mitigation and shielding is more than enough to cover any mistakes in those departments. A new player is highly unlikely to be doing content where shielding or optimal mitigation is necessary, so I feel like you can kind of stumble through and explore those aspects of the kit. I think the only real hurdle is just having someone tell you how good Keracole is and to basically keep it on CD, but I feel like the remainder of the kit is very obvious in its usage and power level just from the tooltip.
For some reason I had a harder time playing white mage than playing my now-main-class scholar owo''' Other than that i agree with everything else!
I'm the contrary. I have it harder with shield healers. Specially when bad things are happening (really bad ones XD) I think it has to be due tje mind set. Shield = prevent damage. Regen healer -ok damage coming let it happen, mitigation and refill.
Nevertheless I love cohealing as whm with a good SCH. It makes runs be a breeze.
Me too, i think it because the shields lets our panic brain at ease so that people doesn't drop low all the time
Meanwhile, playing WHM just suddenly "Why are you all taking soo much damage ;_; "
@@ronnymahendra9035 OMG you guys are big brain- I have GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and now everything makes sense for me-
I started with WHM then went to SGE, AST and SCH, and I know why you feel that way, WHM is so clunky with the long cast times!!
Personally, I prefer..

@Kougaon You'd be surprised by the polarocity of FFXIV. I've run dungeons/trials/raids with so-called "geared end-game savage raiders," who I see constantly messing up on simple mechanics or who perform terribly in regular easy/beginner content. I've also run with newbie/beginner casual players who I swear were pro raiders who created an alt account (sure, they messed up a mechanic initially, but they learned it the second time around and owned their job/class). The same is true for the "easy" Jobs/Classes in FFXIV. I've heard many players who bash these "easy" or "mindless/braindead" Jobs/Classes in FFXIV, but yet they can't seem to play them effectively at all (Tanks: PLD and WAR; Healers: WHM and SGE; Melee DPS: RPR and SAM; Ranged PDPS: MCH; Casters: SMN and RDM). Inversely, just because a Job/Class is "difficult" or "complex" doesn't automatically make it "better" or "stronger" than the rest. ** Think of it this way -- The fewer spells/abilities you have to decide on, the fewer buttons you need to press, and the less you need to worry about positional; means less personal processing power and more time, focus, and energy can be spent on "getting into the zone" and simply doing what you do best. Inversely, the more spells/abilities you have which you need to decide on when, where, and how to utilize them best (let alone where to find them and use them on your hotbars), the more buttons you need to press and more frequently, and the more you need to worry about exact positions; means more personal processing power and less time, focus, and energy can be spent on "getting into the zone." Meaning, the chances of you messing up increase, and the chance of you performing optimally decreases.
Probably, the single best advice anyone will give you in FFXIV, is to simply play whatever Job/Class YOU enjoy. Whichever one suits your playstyle best and whichever one you know inside and out and will inevitably play optimally at. You wouldn't believe the insane lengths game developers go through to try and make every single job/class viable and as balanced as possible. Ideally, they try to make it so regardless of whatever job/class a skilled player chooses, they should be pulling/performing roughly the same numbers (Enmity and Mitigation; Healing and Shielding; AoE and ST Attacks and DoT Damage).
As a French miqo'te maining machinist idk what to think about all the attacks but.. great video! I'm actually learning how to tank with warrior right now because I'm afraid of messing up so at least with that job I should still survive!
Also thak ya so much for this video! Rlly do helps a lot :3
And gives me more reasons to play sumonner and dancer xd they do rlly look cool as hell
Played both SMN and DNC in Savage. Gotta say SMN is the easiest job in the game. It's almost impossible to mess up.
Smn is satisfying too when u default to carbuncles
@@Tailionis I actually enjoy SMN because they actually nailed the class fantasy.
True. DnC may be easy, but has multiple buffs to manage. SMN has a low skill floor still and retains a low skill ceiling along with it.
I savage SMN, the main ways you can mess up the job is by using ifrit at the wrong time. That is literally all you can mess up.
@@MrBii03 yeah that's pretty much it.
Viera best race by leaps and bounds... Get it?
I like how he is recommending reaper to new players despite the fact that it's a dlc job that you only get access to after getting to endwalker
Wells this tailored for people getting into High-End, if you’re doing casual you don’t even need to know what all your buttons do.
like half of the jobs are tied to an expansion so by that logic you should remove ast, drk, mch, sam, rdm, gnb, dnc, and sge from the list as well.
You get Reaper the moment you have a class on level 70. I have Reaper since Realm Reborn, lmao
Edit: Of course you need the Endwalker DLC. But you don't need to reach the content of Endwalker.
#1 should be FFXIV Streamer/UA-camr, calling it
i should've done that damn
Do play Paladin if you love the Holy Spam in dungeons! Yes WAR is easier. Can't get used to DRK and GNB weave spam. Really like PLD range.
Plus PLD gets a shield in every expansion, 0w0
GNB was my main tank class through ShB and early Endwalker. Decided to swap to DRK for a change. Was not expecting to have MORE OGCD weaves than GNB.
Summoner is the only job I play when I'm half-asleep.
I find that the Ninja's mudras are pretty easy to get a hang of if you play with an MMO mouse (which I get not everyone has, I had to buy my Logitech one second-hand). One of the reasons it became my main job is because I find it fun to do the inputs!
As a French Studies major with a brother who loves dragoon more than any fantasy/rpg classes in any games, I can't wait to show him this video
Learning black mage is easy... if it's the job you start with. And almost none of the skills transfer to any other job so leveling a new one is terrifying.
That said, it's my favorite job and I'm super glad I played nothing _but_ black mage for over a year. The mobility at 90 is just as good as the other casters when you need it, and if you know the mechanics for a given fight you might not need it too often. The rotation isn't strict in the sense that a melee DPS has to hit 1,2,3 for max damage, so it's open to change a bit depending on the fight and you're not completely screwed out of your damage if something goes wrong. Just don't drop enochian. Ever. Even if it means you take a vuln stack. Yes, that means using Umbral Heart every 10 seconds between pulls.
As a SAM main I've gotten used to being called braindead but with this video it was a nice surprise to see SAM get missed for Reaper XD
lol I thought it was gonna be sam too, or drg. tbh I think all the melee jobs are braindead once you get the rotation down
@@gaijingai drg gcd loop is easy, but it also has the most positionals and doing those during your 2min burst with limited mobilit during jump spam makes it quite a bit harder than rpr. But if you dont care about drifting your shit etc then its pretty simple to play ye
It's kinda braindead on non-threatening levels such as dungeons but rather tricky on endgame boss raids where you have to get as much hits in, mind the formations/patterns and avoid triggering a wipe due to one mistake.
Started tanking recently because I was scared to do it before, but as a noob tank, I can already feel the difference between tanking as a PLD and tanking as a DRK. While both are cool and fun in their own way, PLD has a lot more buffs compared to DRK, so it makes it more challenging to tank as a DRK-but also more fun. Plus, you look badass with all the dark magic and gear. But as a SAM main, it was challenging to learn at first but once you play it for a while, you get it down.
Started bard, went gun breaker, tried dark knight, went back to bard.
Why?
I like bows and I'm a musician.
Easy to start until song rotation becomes a thing.
That action economy though.
apparently unpopular opinion: dancer has a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling.
its rotation is extremely simple in concept, but using all your defensive cooldowns as much as possible (without clipping gcd in the case of improv) on top of fan management and ensuring you press all the buttons correctly during your tech/devilment window makes it a very proactive job--even more so than bard imo.
I think optimizing dancer is harder than optimizing redmage, and I've played both in savage (tho i do be a shield heal main).
no offense, but that's not really unpopular, that's genuinely what most people know
this video's purpose was more or less to showcase what jobs a newbie could pick if they want an accessible/"easy" job without learning 200 openers
This is true tho. This video cqn be looked at "low skill floor classes fkr eqch role". And Dancer is by far thw lowest skill floor in game. Now refining and fine tuning it can be harder, because it manages a few vital buffs at once.
The same can be said for WHM. It can be trickier to manage its mana compared to most othwr healers and optimizing it can be hard in some cases, but it is the easiest of the healers to get into.
Basically, i agree but the point of the video was for entry level is all im sayin.
@@hellfrozenphoenix13 you know wassup, I gotchu
The unpopular opinion would be to say the same about SAM. Since most people see SAM as HURR DURR ME WATCH STORMBLOOD MEMES and have no idea how the job plays now and how much skill expression there is.
@@azazamat i would agree. Sam can feel somewhat easy to get into on a baseline level. However, it has a lot of smaller things it must do to be optimized, and not all of it being clear. Such as skill speed determining when to convert Sen into Kenki to maximize damage output, having a cast time melee to worry about in fights (mechanics can sometimes force a fast change of plans), among the typical melee worries.
The only "easy" melee imho is Reaper. Dragoon may not be complicated rotation wise, but its execution is tight which means a slip up in timing can cause a lot of trouble. Reaper has much less to track in my experience, so its execution is overall easier.
As a RPR main, that's why I love it. I struggle a lot remembering openers and positionals but RPR keeps it simple, while still letting me deal big damage.
Dragoon created by the french? Oh well, time to ditch the favorite floor tank.
"For people lacking brains" I'm like yep,I better watch this.😂
It’s ok I do too
People only say BLM is hard because its not dirt easy but in reality BLM is not hard, its just not easy. It’s actually kinda annoying how hard ppl try to go out of their way to say how “difficult “ it is when its not.
Counterpoint: femroe
as a WAR and DNC main it is always funny when someone says to me that they are easy jobs
I mean yea that is why I play them
You do know what “main” means, right? Your primary job.
I swear, some people always be trying to ice skate uphill.
@@TheSpicyLeg i dont see how this contradicts their statement? Do yiu mean one cannot have 2 mains? Because you certainly can gear 2 roles to be BiS and play them close to the same amount of time.
Not trying to sound abrassive if i am, genuine questioning here.
SAME
Primary tank job and primary DPS. It IS possible to do two things for an equal amount of time.
@@hellfrozenphoenix13 In that case, I main WAR, GNB, DRK, PLD, WHM, SGE, AST, and SCH. I gear them to BiS and all play them equally.
For those watching this and wondering what tank to play, give paladin a try if it looks good to you. I promise you it's fun. And take it from someone who plays all 4 in high end content, it can perform very well in high end content if you take the time to learn it and is very fun and a game changer for your party.
Big true
Warrior gives me happy chemicals. Drk and gnb is when I want damage to go brr.
So gun breaker makes my happy chemicals go off I love being able to spam shit like a dodge tank
White mage doesn't teach you how to weave dps between heals. It teaches you how to weave heals between dps.
Miqo'te is best race for both genders, FIGHT ME!! As for best job for each role, Warrior (Paladin for 2nd), Scholar (White Mage for 2nd), Monk (Dragoo For 2nd), Bard (rest is trash), Red Mage because REZ MAGE!!!
When I started savage as DRK, I learned how tough it actually is and became quite the learning curve. I don't play it exactly the way the balance would want me too because I'm so used to the SHB opener that I mixed the new and old together for my comfort. Still have improvement with it, but I thought PLD was hard... HA. I could do PLD in my sleep. DRK I am not as masterful at it, but it's my main and I will get better.
I personally prefer cat girls and I am a cat girl because I absolutely love all cats but Au'ra are adorable and must be treasured and headpat a lot too
I still laugh that coming from WoW i was always ranged or healer because i hated melee, so ofcourse what is the one and only job i have at lvl 90...... fucking ninja.... why why did i do this to myself
TBF Ninja is ranged for like 90% of its burst window which is also the only thing that really matters on ninja. I swear Ninja is more of a spellsword than RDM is.
As a warrior when I need to solo a dungeon boss I'm like: I ain't heard no bell
machinist is my favorite class. used to hate it, but now I love the speed and rhythm of it
dancer is not there to do big damage, dancer is there to look GOOD and that’s all that matters
(also remember to do your aoe combo in melee range otherwise it’ll be useless 🫡)
I'm currently working my way through 60-70 and at time of writing the only job left is WAR. MCH 4 lyfe tho
I main GNB -- a class I took on mostly because it's modeled after my favorite FF character, lol. But it's so much fun, and practically a DPS masquerading as Tank given its immense amount of melee attacks. WAR is most efficient Tank, but GNB is the most fun, if you ask me.
As a warrior main, we only exist to wake up and choose hatred. And I guess keep the party sustained when the healer is lacking (or DPS decides to face pull).
You dare to call summoners lacking in brains? _Pulls out book and summons an entire classroom_ Prepare to get schooled. 🐍
White mage progression is weaving attacks between heals to weaving heals between attacks and letting your tank go dangerously close to dying so you maximize your DPS.
Also spam holy
Dancer main, and yes, i agree on some points, but you WILL have a lot of plates spinning at once with GCDs so there is a little to workwith in their kit. Very versatile.

Idk, from experience anything that is dps is easier than healing, since with healing you have to focus on healthbars on top of your position related to other team members while not forgetting your own hp... and react quickly to low HP, while also putting some damage. If you are not focused on everything at the same time this can lead your whole team to failure, especially with harder bosses. My experience with DPS is that once you get used to your macro skills it is pretty chill, you just avoid damage and deal damage, you have no responsibilities. Healer in FFXIV is the only role in all MMOs I have played that actually made me sweat a little bit. However I read that endgame healer makes people sleep.
Concerning white mage a wise man once said "what do you do when the partys full health, what do you do when the partys full health or even half way up and standing, DPS the bad guy"
Catgirls are genuinely the more attractive race because even if they look like famboys, they're still even slightly attractive.
Whereas Au Ra girls have a wide variety of ways they can look: They can look older, younger, trans, femboy, or even male. There are quite a few min height fem au ra who look like they are 16...15...14...and even as young as 13 years old... And you think sexualizing Lalas are bad...yet there are a lot of Lalas who look OLDER than some min height fem au ras.
It's precisely why I chose to be max height fem au ra so that I at least look 21.
Any other races, you'd have to work harder to make them look young, besides Lalas.
But again, there are still Lalas who look older than some min height fem au ras.
me a dancer main: surprised pikachu face
anyways, I love the class I started off as a black mage and switched to this.. so u can see why I really love it after the hell that was black mage lmao.
Also I love au'ra they are literally the best female race in the entire game ngl, my au'ra is adorable af and I love her uwu
Who lack Keyboard and mouse clicking targets". Who cycles targets Like it was guitar hero inputs.
My Favorite Thing for no thoughts head empty Warrior is that Raw Intuition reads like heal on weaponskill cast, but it actually heals whenever a weaponskill hits an enemy. So the AoE abilities can full heal you if you slap a full crowd once.
Another fun fact about positionals; you can completely ignore them and nobody well ever know :)
Your glam is so ON POINT!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
WARRIOR for sure is so easy that it walked me through tank anxiety into loving being a tank.
Yes... head empty now

The funny thing about you saying anything but PLD is that Paladin was the first tank I played, and my experience going into Warrior can be sumarized as "where are my mitigations?"
"Red mages look goofy." You actually mean fabulous.
I play all smol brain stuff! Its honestly mostly cuz Im a super casual player and dont want to worry toooo much about rotations but still be useful and not a burden to my team
Monk may be monkeys, that much is true, but PUNCHES AND KICKES GO BRRRRR LUNAR NADI SOLAR NADI PHANTOM RUSHHHHH
Personally, I feel like Red Mage is a better job to get someone used to the idea of being a "caster" in the traditional sense because current Summoner actually doesn't even feel like a caster by comparison as so much of their kit is insta-cast. When I first picked up Red Mage when Stormblood launched I just marveled at the fact that I felt like I was right in between a Black Mage and a White Mage with better mobility (at the time) than Black Mage at the cost of less damage. Of course, since you can't START on Red Mage I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner but you are able to get it incredibly early as the MSQ gives you so much bloody XP that if you don't start splitting it between multiple jobs then your main job will hit level 60 before you even get to Heavensward. The last time I rolled a new character I played a Summoner/Scholar for the efficacy of leveling both a DPS and a healer at the same time and then switched to Red Mage/Scholar after Summoner hit 50 so that I wasn't wasting XP and instead funneling it into multiple jobs. I then grabbed Gunbreaker and Dancer at level 60 and Sage/Reaper at level 70 and pretty much had jobs to cover all of my bases for an alt character that I really only made to run through the story again fresh to see all the changes that have been made to the game.
FF14 is a memorization of dances game.
All bosses do the same dance over and over. They don't adapt. Thus not a fight. A fight would require the enemy to adapt.
You are only as good as the time you first enter a dungeon BLIND. No video, no guide. And If you wipe, then you lost that dance. Doesn't matter if you later clear it using the groundhog days powers of the WoL.
Is a pity there is no ironman mode for the game. Or at least a "done in the first day" flag.
You know what Kou, I’m gonna main PLD even harder.
*slaps white mage* this bad boy can fit so many heals in it
As a Summoner main. Yeah. It's Spellcasting For Dummies. I don't think there is a job easier out there.
As a dancer main, we really are more support than just focused on damage, BUT at least I look fancy when I kill you.
You had me at, "Scholar, if you want to RP a angry librarian and hit things with books" ...but the lost me at, "Red Mage...they look goofy. I don't like their outfits." I mean, excuse me??
I play a Scholar along side my Warrior friend. He is a tank, I am a dps, my fairy is the healer. It works out. ;)
Ngl didnt know if I wanted to watch the video, BUT he had me in the first few seconds with the "Aura girls are better then Catgirls" LOL
I think the Summoner is easier than the dancer personally. With my summoner I just focus on dmg instead of making sure my buffs are constantly up while also doing damage.
6:42 this gets an award for making samurai look ridiculously complex. I tried Reaper and found it clunky and difficult, went right back to samurai.
Some of the actions require a little thought, but honestly not much, and people aren't going to screech at you for not earning sen gauge in the most optimal manner, or for overcapping ur kenki, or for not using hagakure to use some ideal iaijutsu for an aoe... nobody cares about that!
Am I just in the cult of the weeb or what?
I love easy jobs, no stress and easy to focus on boss mechanics
