Only problem Bard has here is that, while they ARE more important than both Machinist and Dancer, both of them kinda beat it in animations. Dancer is beautiful to see [even if the weapons suck so hard that they make Dragoon lances look like katanas by comparison] and Machinist is so speedy without having to depend on RNG [which Dancer also heavily depends on]. Machinist is also stronger by default and Dancer has their 2 dances which deal some ridiculously high damage and are satisfying to pull off.
I love archers in general, all my first characters in any game that allow me to, I make an archer, and I'm not disappointed, even tho I'm just lvl 43, I'm having a blast
Trust me the bard isn't too complicated all classes have many spells and gimmicks but trust me they all flow well bard being one of the easier classes in my opinion :D but if u are still worried start as a healer it's easy mode
I want a discussion about if two stacks Pitch Perfect or three stacks. Due to the possibility of double proc you could loos a lot of stacks. what are your opinions about it? Ever heard about it? Which one is better on, lets say 5 minutes dummy over 5 trys differently played (if anyone ever tested)
Dot - damage over time. Ogcd - off global cooldowns. I assume you know these by know since it's been two months. But bard doesn't have a rotation besides the song order, job just button mash face roll.
Though this video has been there for quite some time, I still would like to say that the foot in the background looks weird... It's like her foot is separated from the calf...
BRD is the worse range in single targets fights at the moment, it's just insane in 2 / 3 target situations: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565175219308855296/646099455342280705/unknown.png
This NOT a beginners guide... there might be a lot of good information but since I have been playing FFXIV less than a month I don't even understand half the jargon
Lul it is The game is just a bit more complex than other mmorpgs I play this game for a week now and I found out out cant expect to understand the jargon if you havent played the class at least a bit So my recommendation is to try out interesting classes/jobs ingame and then watch a game shortly after
Why are FFXIV rotations so complicated. I want to to be a WoW refugee but there doesn't seem to be any "simple" jobs. I don't want to spin plates I just want to smash three or four buttons and pay attention to boss mechanics.
It's probably not your fault, man q_q But whenever any video says "beginners guide" and I finish watching it, I basically always wonder if this is for beginners, what the heck am I supposed to be. How do I always have so much trouble understanding any of them?! *cries in a corner*
I hate archers in mmos, I always have looked down on them. Yet, this video made me want to play Bard so bad and I wasn't expecting it at all :x just watched it cause I love your videos and out of curiosty ! Well, good job man x)...
@@nebula8851 it'd be nice if shadowbite spread it so long as the target it was used on had both dots, but ofc the ability itself would do 0 damage, just used to spread. its got a balanced cd so you cant spam it constantly.
Kyle Mills Shadow Bite should have a flat 120 potency to all enemies w/ the removal of the bonus potency for CB and SB on the target, BUT, it can spread CB and/or SB up to 2 or 3 targets on a 60 sec cd
I am in agreement with several other people, you are talking to your audience as if everyone in a tenured player. I don't understand half of the things you are saying. I love this game, but it does a poor job of explaining things, so does it's community apparently
Honestly bard is a face roll job also the most forgiving job because it has no rotation. This video just goes in too deep to the point of it getting confusing. The only real rotation is the song order. Other than that just button mash your ocd and Refulgent Arrow and of course triple Pitch Perfect stacks.
It's an informative video and I'm sure it will be helpful later in the game, but maybe reconsider calling something a "beginner" video when it presents a lot of skills 50+ or even 70+... ^^;
This guide is very basic, it doesn’t have anything completely wrong (besides the opener), but it lacks a lot of important information. Calling it an "ultimate guide" is a bit of an overstatement in my opinion.
@@TheRileyss the opener, proper snapshoting, the different WM burst phases (depending on gear / comp / comfort), the buff from AP and how it affects it, 2/3 target rotation (which is important for TEA) etc.
There are two kinds of “Beginner”. Completely new to the class as a whole and leveling and recently max level and therefore the guide being basic information for end game content such as raiding. This is the latter
The Grey Aria it has something to do with english as his second language. English is my second languge too, our language doesnt differentiate males from females, we dont have him,her etc. we just have one word for it. And i think many language are like that too, so sometimes, we use ‘he’ when referring to a female or the other way around by accident.

Sir you should pin this
Still very helpful 2 years later. Fantastic video as always!!!
I love bows in all MMOs and especially in XIV, the animations are just so sick. Brd could be doing 6k dps and I would honestly still play it lol

@@AzureRoxe You know, dancer is more useful currently.
@@sachsenlp3698 u know, that comment was from 7 months ago.
@@yuuxing8761 Yeah, but many people would still be using UA-cam, and also 7 months ago DNC would be over bard ^^
TY, TY Desperius for saying about the Skillspeed hardcap, I have looked EVERYWHERE you are the only one with this info
The music sheet display for explaining rotation is a great idea, very thorough guide.
also you get a 100% coolness up buff if you play the Sax pre-pull!
Oh yes 🤣
I'm a simple man. I hear ffix music in the background, i give it a like.
And it's FF9 music, the very best kind of FF music imo ❤️
As a Warrior main, I love Bards. Get along like peanut butter and jelly.
The intro was clean AF and the music was on point!
Thank you !
I love archers in general, all my first characters in any game that allow me to, I make an archer, and I'm not disappointed, even tho I'm just lvl 43, I'm having a blast
I just started the game and though lets look up some guides for the bard that i am planning to max level only to be completly overwhelmed.
Trust me the bard isn't too complicated all classes have many spells and gimmicks but trust me they all flow well bard being one of the easier classes in my opinion :D but if u are still worried start as a healer it's easy mode
here i am in your same situation xD aint understandin shit thats for sho
I'm so sad that bard buffs don't buff ourselves. Our dps might not be so bad otherwise. Even if the party hits harder than if the bard wasn't ghere
Yeah, I mainly play solo, but I love ranged dps so brd is only option unless finish the story
Ik this video was posted a while ago...bit can anyone tell me what glamor he used. His outfit looks so good
I want a discussion about if two stacks Pitch Perfect or three stacks.
Due to the possibility of double proc you could loos a lot of stacks.
what are your opinions about it? Ever heard about it? Which one is better on, lets say 5 minutes dummy over 5 trys differently played (if anyone ever tested)
I haven’t played since the original game and the bard is like totally different now
some1 able to define all the acronyms used in this video please? eg. DoTs, OGCDs so on and so forth. THANK YOU!
Dot - damage over time.
Ogcd - off global cooldowns.
I assume you know these by know since it's been two months. But bard doesn't have a rotation besides the song order, job just button mash face roll.
All the music sheet bots I used for bard don't work anymore so what's the point
nice man thanks. prepull raging i was not gonna end up learning on my own.
Though this video has been there for quite some time, I still would like to say that the foot in the background looks weird... It's like her foot is separated from the calf...
Beginners guide yet I have no idea what this guy's saying
Ich such nach nem guten Bardguide und musste mir erstmal 5 videos zu geheule über low bard dps reinziehen bevor ich das video hier gefunden hab XD
Nächstes mal kommste direkt zu meinem Kanal, da wird nicht geheult 🤣
what does this outfit consists off?
Aparently brd is the most popular class..
I would have never thought o.O
brd may have low dps but the frist ultimate clear this tier had a brd in it so we gucci
Yeah partys love bards ☺️👍
It's because bard does insanely high damage in ultimate since they can double dot the multi-boss phases!
BRD is the worse range in single targets fights at the moment, it's just insane in 2 / 3 target situations: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/565175219308855296/646099455342280705/unknown.png
I feel like all they need is to be affected by their own songs and iron jaws dot spread and they would go up significantly.
@@kenamada5451 that would make dancers almost irrlevent why bring to buff classes when one clss can buff all including itself?
This NOT a beginners guide... there might be a lot of good information but since I have been playing FFXIV less than a month I don't even understand half the jargon

Hey man! weird question. would you happen to remember which eye color you used?
It's probably not your fault, man q_q But whenever any video says "beginners guide" and I finish watching it, I basically always wonder if this is for beginners, what the heck am I supposed to be. How do I always have so much trouble understanding any of them?! *cries in a corner*
I just changed it to "Guide" sorry about that
Marvelous content! Can you do one for samurai :D
I am finishing the Ranged DPS with MCH and DNC first, then do SAM and DRG afterwards 😁👍
Bard is the best!!!!!
I hate archers in mmos, I always have looked down on them. Yet, this video made me want to play Bard so bad and I wasn't expecting it at all :x just watched it cause I love your videos and out of curiosty ! Well, good job man x)...
DRG. Haven't seen one yet.
Coming soon !
What's the overlay you use?
The Advanced combat Tracker
@@DesperiusFFXIV well yeah, what's the skin for it you're using ._.
I don't understand squat. If it's a beginner's guide, don't use abbreviations or explain what they mean.
wait so...bard is a supportive class? i thought its mostly dps and s little support...
Bard: Rain of Arrows is affected by Mage's Ballad
Also Bard: Mage's Ballad is affected by your DoTs and you have no way to spread them.
Kk.
Yeah, I do wish BRD had an oGCD that allowed them to drop their main DOT's on a group...

I am leveling quicker on my bard than on my BLM……because I’ve always loved playing archer.
Although I just got to bard lolol

Astro guide when? 👀
Hopefully somewhere around december, I will give my best !
i haven’t seen an archer/bard in almost a month now lol
why? i wanna get back into the game and thinking of doing Bard
pffft no AoE….where is it?
Archer becomes bard.. Make no sense. Archer should went Ranger or pirate with Bard being something else.
It's because the bow could be played like a harp and so the archers would sing to their allies to bolster them in battle.
It's an informative video and I'm sure it will be helpful later in the game, but maybe reconsider calling something a "beginner" video when it presents a lot of skills 50+ or even 70+... ^^;
Agreed. Also probably shouldn't call anything "beginner" that doesn't explain any acronyms used in this type of game.
I didn’t understand very much in this “beginners” guide lol
This guide is very basic, it doesn’t have anything completely wrong (besides the opener), but it lacks a lot of important information.

yes we get it. you main bard
I actually main SMN now 😅

"Beginners Guide". Talks about end-game abilities. This guide is useless as it is.

Why do you keep using the pronoun "he/him/his" when users characters are both genders? You just end up sounding like an old boomer
English isn't his first language. That likely has something to do with it
He is german. In german it's "der barde". Male pronouns. But if that is something you have to complain about: get your head checked.
The Grey Aria it has something to do with english as his second language. English is my second languge too, our language doesnt differentiate males from females, we dont have him,her etc. we just have one word for it. And i think many language are like that too, so sometimes, we use ‘he’ when referring to a female or the other way around by accident.
Most romance and germanic languages have gendered nouns and verbal conjugations. Don't forget to leave your hometown when becoming woke.
