Been waiting for this to come to Xbox since it came out, and I started it with WAR for the story. Finally unlocked DRK, haven't looked back lol. So much more flashier and fun to play imo.
Warrior was so much fun as a gateway to other tank roles and can afford someone new to the game (and tanking) the survivability to get comfortable with the concepts that come with the role.
@@GoatOfWar Funny way not to notice it's explaining how and why it's easier for someone new. As for the "better", that depends on who you ask and their preferences.
Starting as a tank is definitely the best way! I made the mistake of starting as a Scholar… EXCEPT you’re the DPS Arcanist until you reach the full job. Those queues were painful.
Dark Knight is actually so much fun and easy to play once you understand the simplicity of it's rotations. DRK has just a single target and AoE Rotation with a Burst filler plus a ton of Migitations.
Warrior is just the most complete tank. You have good mits, shortest cooldown invuln, self sustain, and good damage. Every other tank is just missing something that makes them harder to play. Dark knight and gunblade worse mits and no real sustain but get damage. Paladin you get tons of mits with an ok heal for emergencies but worse damage.
As soon as PLD gets their heal they are the easiest tank to play for anyone. The GNB needs a certain level but is the most fun to play due to the DPS playstyle.
i'm still thinking if i should play dark knight or warrior both are cool but for end game warri is probably easier i looked at the end game rotation and the one for dark knight holy
Real shit? Its kinda infuriating how often Healers will get mad and just refuse to heal you as PLD if you touch Clemency. Its part of my kit, let me use it.
leg piece is from Eastern Faire-goer's Attire set and top is called "moonfire happi". both are from a previous seasonal events and available on the mogstation store for money
few things.. "you direct the speed and flow" no, that's false because you still have assholes that run ahead and pull making it annoying to deal with so that's not entirely true. "there's a dire shortage for tanks" yes because SE doesn't want to make more tank or healer classes to help with the load of queue times, they'd rather make more and more DPS increase the times because brain dead. "raid grps will hire you much more frequently" Not true either, you have to do all kinds of BS video watching to know the fights ahead of time instead of playing the game, so that's a flaw of the game, the community and not true to an extent.
Me, someone who only plays Tanks clicking on this video: Now I'm curious
The insurgence of one pack pullers and non tank stance tanks in dungeons will be insane after this
Simple answer warrior. However, most fun imo gunbreaker if you want a fast dps style tank.
Drk is super close second. There's triple weaves you can do without clipping your gcd. But that's not something a new player needs to worry about lol.

Triple weaves give me life
Darkness forever

Funny way to say it's just easier and better.

@@gaiali453thank u, I’m now starting this game n tryna decide, tank or healer.

Great video! Super helpful I may need to try a tank. I picked up a summoner and have been playing with NPCs in dungeons

how do you stop the impatient dps from pulling?
That’s the neat part, you don’t!
"If they die... they die."
You can easily regain enmity, if you really want to
Pull faster

'GNB has worse mits and no real sustain' You clearly haven't played the job on high end contents
Started playing early last year and just lost my sprout, Gunbreaker is easily my favorite class!
Tank in 2 words.....
LEROOOOOY JENKINS 😊.
Fellow Gunbreakers rise up!
what is that reshade from the video?
i don’t play ffxiv at all, but i’ll watch this video :3
I feel like Warrior might be overtuned lol. IMO since DRK has the least healing, it should have highest dps.
As soon as PLD gets their heal they are the easiest tank to play for anyone.
The GNB needs a certain level but is the most fun to play due to the DPS playstyle.
just sucks you get your heals so late. holy sheltron at 82 and your spell damage healing at like 84 afaik
two words: gun mode
the warrior definitely feels like the "main character". Your nickname is literally the "warrior of warriors".
i'm still thinking if i should play dark knight or warrior both are cool but for end game warri is probably easier i looked at the end game rotation and the one for dark knight holy

What's the glamour at 3:42 though?

Me a main tank : yes please tell me why I should play tank :)
*Tanking is perfect for Beginners,*
*and Warrior is the most braindead of the braindeads.* 🤣
Paladin squad!
difinitely warrior, least amount of OGCD and less intensive rotation
Fast queues. That's it.
War is tanking on easy mode. Go Guns
I didn’t see the video yet but if it not WAR we have a problem 😡
Sounds like healer propaganda to me.
