I'm a Paladin main and if the aesthetic of the job isn't your vibe then its never going to be. I love the sword and shield hero thing so Its perfect for me. BUT I will say in its defense that once you level it up its skills get really satisfying and its way less boring to play at higher levels. (the skill Icons start to look a lot better as well.)
exactly this, I love Paladin because I love sword and shield, and for the only shield class in the game I don't think it disappoints. And the post Stormblood "Mage Knight" play style is right up my alley.
As a tank main in MANY games (or "tanky dps" too sometimes) although I like the idea of both Paladin and Dark Knight (am a simp for Cecil what can I say), the heavy reliance both seem to have on magic phases and such are part of the reason I main GNB... that said, what does Paladin magic phase look like? Does it hurt dps a lot if you mess that up?
@@tcut95 drk has no magic phase and for paladin it's your burst. if you fuck up magic phase you lose a lot of dmg. Burst means basically twice to triple your normal dps. it's satisfying to do though
I don't get why Scholar has such a bad reputation. It maybe needs some time to get your head wrapped around it but once you learned it, it really is the epitome of an easy healer. The fairy automatically heals the party constantly, you have a lot of spells without cast time, and a lot of over-time group heals. And if you know the bosses a bit and learn to time your shields to the incoming attacks, no one even gets any damage. The only downside is that you don't really have any strong burst heals. But maybe that's exactly the reason why people don't like it. For me, it's my favourite job in the game and makes for a chill healing experience if you know how to play it.
the reason people don`t like SCH is threefold: it still has that bad pet-management stain from pre-EW, Expediant is a meme to people with half a braincell and your oh-shit-button Excog is bound to your Aetherstack. Only upside imo SGE has over SCH is Pepsis to turn shields into heal where SCH needs to decide if you get either or.
as the first healer I learned to play Scholar has been great fun. I chose which one I wanted to try based on aesthetics so I maybe biased but I really enjoyed learning and playing it. As long as you aren't trigger happy with your fester I feel like for light party content you have great healing tools to either not let someone's HP drop low in the first place or keep them safe until their hp recovers. For harder full party content you are paired with another healer anyway so I don't really mind the lack of burst, I have my job and WHM has theirs.
SCH was my first and continues to be my main, and I don’t get all the comments about how bad and janky it is. The fairy kinda just follows you and passively heals, there’s very little maintenance you need to do for it outside of like savage and other super hard content (and even then it’s just placing the fairy in the middle, usually). It also feels very intuitive to me at least - the class is about making sure people don’t get low, not pulling them back once they do *SGE* is the healer I find weird and janky, though I’m always in the minority when I say that. Maybe I’m too used to SCH…I got SGE to 90 and am okay on it but it just feels worse than SCH in every way to me
@@Ededdeddy97 I love both Scholar and Sage, shield healers being my preference. Rather put up a shield, than panic when the health drops lowwhile playing White Mage. Scholar for when I wanna be sure I can keep everyone alive, and Sage when I wanna feel cool with an awesome light show. Definitely took me a LONG time to get the hang of Sage, especially when it first came out and I was failing the tutorial dungeon over and over. xD
I'm a main dancer, it's my comfiest job, I play it all the time, from casual content to ultimate. I love the aesthetic, the dances minigames, the movement freedom, the support side of the job buffing the whole team.. I'm sadge. (nice video tho !!)
Machinist was my main in SHB and EW, and the fact it’s not just a pure gunner job is one of the complaints I heard about it. I, personally, really like the fact that it’s canonically a job our WoL is developing themselves. All the gadgets are our own.
As a GNB tank that has mained it since I started Shadowbringers, I would most totally agree it is the best tank in the group, due to the fact that not only is GNB's invuln super broken, but also the rotation is simple enough once you get the hang of it. Trust me, I got my Saber mount just a few weeks back finally.
@@nothisispatrick5691 I would agree, but GNB not only has Regen, but they also have Heart of Co and a built-in combo heal with the base combo you use. Three different healing factors, bigger Chad moment. 😎
@@nothisispatrick5691 Not taking any damage over that duration means less for healers to heal up, if healers heal you during your Holmgang is active they are wasting their MP but otherwise they are risking your death. Overall I'd say it's much harder to use than PLD or GNB. In fights where you don't take any lethal damage Holmgang doesn't do anything (in terms of preventing incoming damage). Both PLD and GNB has an extra mitigation button, for example.
Personally I would put Dancer at A or S tier, with Dance Partner, AoE Heals I can drop now and again, and just being able to dance around the enemies literally and figuratively, I really quite enjoyed the class, even finished the Story as one, also sexy glams, but anyway lol, it does look way better as a female to me though, also they do have some pretty strong AoE abilities. Also totally agree with you on the monk thing, it's probably the DPS I have the least interest in.
I'm a Summoner main, but I've played Scholar quite a bit and it's still quite much a shield healer but that's not all they do, they're pretty much something you cast preventively and then you have your little fairy that heals automatically and you have regular healing spells for when you actually need them. I have to say I find it super fun, because i'ts more challenging than playing a DPS class
I completely understand not having touched red mage yet due to playing other things. Though as a RDM main working his way through ultimates, watching you use your melee combo unenchanted took *years* off my life. :P
I personally was expecting gunbreaker to be my least favorite job but then I tried it and played it for a while and it just feels the best for me, it goes so smooth and its fun so now it's my favorite lol. I'm mostly a tank main tho.
white mage main here !! as some super scatter brained, i often forgot to hit my lucid dreaming. lucid dreaming is only important (to me) in level 65 and below content, because i got lilies :) and mp free heals (tetragram, and then thin air :3) but it got so bad i had to make a macro explaining how small brained i was
age of conan dark templar will always be my favorite class in mmos. Because life taps/leech/bloodforaid. basically the more damage you do the more you heal yourself so whenever i play a game i look for the class most like that and hope it's a tank
I just started playing this game this past XMas 2023. I figured I’d give it a shot after over 20 years spent on FFXI. I would say 90% of my MMORPGing experience is with Dps. As of the day of this comment, I’m: 55SAM, 56WAR, 55DRG, 52MNK, 31DRK. As listed above is probably the order of my favourite. Not much to say but I would say our opinions on DRG & MNK are very similar. Though mostly I wanted to comment about Warrior. I’ve never really tanked before, and after seeing the memes on how low brow warrior tanking is, I decided to give it a try… And I unironically love it. I especially love that despite being a “tank”, the offense is still pretty entertaining. Just got Fell Cleave and my 1st? 2nd? Self healing spell not counting the combo. Sorry for typing a book. Nonetheless thank you for this video!
Cries in dancer main! lmao. I am an idol irl and so i role play that in the game and dancing is my life irl so in game i love it. I get to throw things at bosses and run away then do a little dance. It is so much fun I hope you do give it a chance one day.
Bro. I died as your rating got to the healers xDDDD Beside the fact u helped a lot in finding my class and race to start with. You make hilarious content
Reaper and Gunbreaker for me even though tank anxiety still gets me. Sage if I ever healed in this game lol. Cuz lazers and tech sounds. A mage I guess would be Red Mage cuz it's fun.
I was astro because before it was a shield healer, since they changed it, as healer i use sage, and its FLASHY, like a red mage which is my main dps class, and warrior god lord i agree with you, the barbarian feeling with it. mouahhh perfect
"I really gave it my strongest...shot" Ah yes, the return of accidental puns. Also, as a MCH main I am obliged to tell you there is a mech on its way to destroy you.
As a summoner main, The only thing I dont like about the class are the egi. Them not doing anything is annoying. They should give all summons auto attack. That includes the level 90 pets.
As a resident dark knight main, please play dark knight. First off, the storyline is incredible. They liked the writing so much that she (the writer for drks quest) got promoted to writing for endwalker. So if you like story then play it for that, at least. Saying its the best one storywise isn't saying anything but it's actually really good so give it a chance for at least that. Second, you gotta level it up more to become really fun. At around level 70, i think its 72 to be exact you get this ability called the blackest night. Its my favorite ability in the whole game. I also call it the kill button. Its used during pulls and tankbusters. So what it does is that its a sheild and once it breaks after you get hit enough you get a free use of one of your damage spells. Then it also has the best tank invulnerability, imo. The best one is definitely paladins but i like drks a lot. I mean, you HAVE to die in order for it to work but you get back to full health its great. I also like how you have to sweat a bit to survive. At higher levels its easier cause you get a lot of mitigations. I cant remember what level you have all of them by but at a certain point you have 5 (one of them has 2 charges). I personally find it a really satisfying and fun tank, but man you have to give it a try. At least take it to 80 for the story its very good.
Levelling the monk up rn so I can play it through the rest of stormblood (still very early in the expansions lolol) ! The combos are a lot of fun but I find they can be a little overwhelming to get used to 😅 this is why I could never be a healer I am terrible at making quick decisions LOL Aside from that I agree the monk aesthetic is not rlly my thing, especially not for the personality I imagine my character to have. But the idea of him simply punching things to death fits him SO much I can look past it 😂
I've played a total of 3 classes and 2 of them I only just unlocked lol. I started with Dragoon and have levelled it to 55 so far, and I just unlocked Red Mage and Samurai. Not sure which of them I'm going to continue into Heavensward with yet. I'm probably going to use the end of A Realm Reborn to play around with the two new classes. I'm also very interested in trying out Reaper, Ninja, Bard, Dancer, Gunbreaker and Sage, maybe Blue Mage too. I'll probably unlock and try all of them out to see what feels right to me.
Too late, already subscribed. XD I love bard, it is my main class, but I'm actually kind of surprised you said it was easy. Haha. A lot of people tend to complain that it requires paying too much attention to your rotation and your dot upkeep and the fact that the songs actually change in subtle ways how you should use your rotation to maximize cut offs.
and there are ppl like me: starting with paladin. When HW came out I played mch only during hw and swapped to monk when SB came out... and i'm playing monk since then with a few exceptions xD
As a player that's leveled every job to max and will occasionally play even the jobs I like the least, here's my take. Tanks - Paladin is my favorite, having used it as one of my co-mains when leveling. Dark Knight and Gunbreaker are fun but feel squishy to me in comparison. Warrior is my least favorite, although I'm not sure I can articulate why. Healers - I love playing healers and mained one back in WoW. Sage is my favorite as it basically lets me dps while healing the tank and has the most complex play style. White Mage is the runner up. Scholar is okay. Astrologian is my least favorite due to the card mechanic which feels like superfluous distraction from healing and dpsing duties. Casters - Black Mage is my favorite simply for how differently it plays from pretty much any other job. Physical Ranged DPS - Dancer is my favorite as I try to maintain the dps chain. Bard and Machinist both feel like I'm hitting targets with wet noodles, and there seems little rhyme or reason to what order I use their skills in beyond "use whatever is off cooldown". Melee DPS - I actually like most of them. My least favorite among them are Monk and Ninja for the same reason Bard and Machinist are; their attacks don't feel all that impactful or damaging. Blue Mage - I like the concept and the spell collecting and the occasional OP abilities, but it feels like most of the spells are useless due to most combos relying on inflicting debuffs that bosses are immune to. Also, NEW BLU CONTENT COMING THIS TUESDAY!
As a DNC main that’s trying really, really hard to main DRG, the rotation’s so good. Like it’s REALLY good. I don’t know how they managed to make an RNG-based rotation feel so good but I genuinely find it difficult to justify bringing anything else if I’m not really trying that hard. The burst phase is just mashing your oGCDs frantically and trying desperately not to overcap any of your meters. :V But no seriously, it feels great and I’d be interested to hear what you think after you get to 90.
i think the fact we level Scolar and Sumoner together at the same time is actually terrible.. I leveled all jobs and yet because of this.. i know absolutely nothing about Scolar, and it doesnt help that i completely lost all interest in healers in EW either. MNK is my favorite DPS job :P
Could have changed but last I checked SAM was second highest aDPS right behind BLM but honestly that kinda checks out since BLM is far harder to play imo.
I haven't tried any casters/magic users (except for BLU) but my favorite classes that I do have in order is Reaper, Dark Knight, Paladin, Ninja, Dragoon, Samurai, and Monk.
I live how funny and true this is. Also the best part is the music of animal crossing behind it Loving this honesty funny type of videos 🎉 Also your glamour are awesome!
my main is astro/rpr, and love smn, rdm, dnc, and blm lol not a big fan of melee, nor moving around a lot lol, so rpr is great gnb is pretty cool, too, easy to learn imo
Your comment about the "gigaweapon" look is exactly why I dislike Reaper. I know, I know, it's a silly reason, but does the scythe have to be so damn huge??
My ears are bleeding. Dancer is so good ;-; I promise if you tried it you would definitely put it like minimum B tier or higher. It's such a great job to play! I switched to it from Bard once it was unlocked and basically mained it all the way to endgame.
So I'm really new to the game, and I have a question. Do I have to level up multiple classes on the same character, or can a make multiple characters and have them all be a different class like in other MMO's.
you say we're going to rank every class, and then you show us all the jobs. where is Arcanist? Gladiator? Conjurer? not a single class was shown off smh
I know that, but by the time we got to Summoner, I was irritated, not entertained. This had potential as a "wrong answers only" format. There was no roasting to be had here. You don't have to care about my critique at all, I only thought about sharing my thoughts as someone who's engaging with your content.
I appreciate your honesty but I really feel like a tier list isn't the best idea if you have to keep falling back on "I don't use this class", could have probably just made a video talking about your favourite classes instead of trying to include the ones you can't speak about.
I’m SO offended by this whole list, I would NEVER subscribe to you… because I’m already subscribed :3 Honestly these opinions were funny af, keep up the good work I really love your videos they make my day so much better ❤
7:37 The thing flying next to your head is a Red Mage's Focus and it is placed on the pommel of the hilt whenever you cast spells to turn the rapier into a staff (a good example of this is shown by Alisae during the opening cinematic of Endwalker). Also, Astrologian is my favourite Healing class almost entirely because of it's aesthetic. Not only does it have the most interesting weapon type, but also SPACE DUST!
As a casual healer, I can tell you that all of the healers have a use in savage; White Mage and Scholar/Sage are always my go-to when learning a fight because of their flexibility and ease of use, and once I know the flow of a fight I become more confident and use Astrologian to buff people so the fight goes a little faster. Kinda sad that none of the casters made it to S tier, but you still get props from me because you put Dragoon at S tier!
So,as an omni class player. Smn gets more insta cast by 90 and you get to summon the primals,bahamut and Phoenix. Mch rotation stays the same after 70,only adds one more tool and charges, plus a robot. Dark is tanky versus magic and tends to do very well in savage. War is better for dungeons. Dancer is honestly like playing ddr xd, it has a rhythm to it and it depends on what skill proc. Paladin gets to go full magic combo starting 70, especially by 90. Shield healers mostly focus on reducing damage instead of raw healing, so they require planning to get them working. Ast and whm focus on raw healing,though ast requires a lot of planning. For mnk,it gets fast and ends up feeling like a fighting game with combos.
Paladin is way more fun at higher levels with all the ranged skills, party protecc options and a bit of extra mobility. Also he sparkly af. But level 50 and below is big boring.
amazing tier list gonna say as a caster main yeah black mage is weird (i only level'd it to 90 to prove to myself i could) summoner is my main and like ppl say the rotation is just crayon eating but hey i'm fine with some classes being simple. red mage i leveled cause as a kid i loved zoro and fencing so i asked my red mage GF to teach me (and now i have a complex with beating healers to rez first). Scholar i thought i'd hate cause of how ppl say sage out classes it but after maxing both, i actually think sage is worse. don't get me wrong sage is fun cause of certain spells but the feels and crits from Scholar are way more fun. AST (i'm not gonna type the full name) is fun cause my adhd gets to prep alot of heals cause its more of a set and forget healer. but the cards are fun and its my main healer. white mage i thought i hate cause i think thin air is dumb but it grew on me tho benediction has made me a think "if tank has 100 hp its fine cause insta all" and last monk i thought would have tot many buttons but id say its rotation is kinda like dragoons to the point its my go to melee dps. all and all amazing video
Scholar isn't in a bad spot by any means. It just works better the more you know a fight and what you can get away with. Plus, the ability to give someone twice their health bar in shields is neat. Having a party-wide crit buff and party-wide sprint (that also mitigates damage) is also nice.
Machinist doesn't have a lot of guns Also Machinist: Rifle, Pistol, Crossbow, Flamethrower, Gasspreader, Shotgun, BOMBS, A LITERAL DRILL SHOOTER, probably some other ones that I don't know cause I haven't played Machinist in a while, but yeah they got a lot of guns once you think about it xD
to be honest, my greatest take away was oh... my hroth can wear that... (headgear wise) I love your honesty, I hope you do get to play some of the jobs you haven't really played much and an update :D and it's ok to not the ones that are so not your thing :) have a blessed day :D
Gunbreaker all the way, it's the only class i played other than dragoon to unlock gunbreaker, I'm by far not the best player to ever use it, but I have a blast playing it (pun intended).
Loved the video and your rationale behind most of it, because aesthetics matter as much as mechanics. Sometimes people forget that. XD If you don't mind, I'm gonna share my own opinions on a few of the jobs because you inspired me to share. :) SCH was actually my healer of choice from the start (I'm a filthy healer main. XD) I knew I liked shield healing cuz I like seeing bubbles on people and damage never happening. The addition of lots of OGCD healing spells and Emergency Tactics (makes your next shielding spell into a pure healing spell) for those moments of hard-hitting raidwides/tankbusters helps smooth out spikes in damage. Plus having your faerie friend to help heal everyone's booboos is just precious. :D I get what you mean about MNK, it felt so awful at early levels, so much that I was actually gonna stop leveling it. But I'd say give it a shot. As I leveled it and got more abilities I learned how it's meant to feel. With the stances the job uses, your combos can free-flow between two different sets of single target, or back-and-forth from single-target to AoE without needing to start combos over, so you're never locked into a combo string. It's flashy and powerful sounding too when you hit things, so for me, it's a very satisfying job to play. :) DNC's story quests were also some of the better ones imo. That and its utility and how dynamic it feels means it's my ranged DPS I can fall back on. That and seeing my big fluffy cat-man dancing to the beat as he slices enemies up with his chakrams makes me smile. :D Agreed on PLD. It's my last tank to level and it's mostly due to how bland it feels. Maybe as I get into the 70s with it things will change. Time will tell. I had thought DRK would end up being the same, but I did the story and fell in love with the lore. And I feel the same, a big sword just looks awesome. It's also actually surprisingly tanky, but I suppose that could be said about any of the tanks once you learn the ropes well enough. I'd share more, but I'd end up rambling for several pages. XD Thanks again for the awesome video, it was very entertaining! :D
Roasting, wholesome edition
SMN base-gameplay is unlocked at 26, MNK on 30. If you don't like the Gameplay at that point you won't Like it at all
Basically stating that you never played DNC and yet you saying you might try it sometime soon anyways is truly wholesome. Mad respect. :D

Bro. I died as your rating got to the healers xDDDD
Beside the fact u helped a lot in finding my class and race to start with. You make hilarious content
Reaper and Gunbreaker for me even though tank anxiety still gets me. Sage if I ever healed in this game lol. Cuz lazers and tech sounds. A mage I guess would be Red Mage cuz it's fun.
I was astro because before it was a shield healer, since they changed it, as healer i use sage, and its FLASHY, like a red mage which is my main dps class, and warrior god lord i agree with you, the barbarian feeling with it. mouahhh perfect
"I really gave it my strongest...shot"
Ah yes, the return of accidental puns.
Also, as a MCH main I am obliged to tell you there is a mech on its way to destroy you.
As a MNK main I'm just happy to not be at the bottom of the list for a change lol
As a summoner main, The only thing I dont like about the class are the egi. Them not doing anything is annoying. They should give all summons auto attack. That includes the level 90 pets.
As a resident dark knight main, please play dark knight.
First off, the storyline is incredible. They liked the writing so much that she (the writer for drks quest) got promoted to writing for endwalker. So if you like story then play it for that, at least. Saying its the best one storywise isn't saying anything but it's actually really good so give it a chance for at least that.
Second, you gotta level it up more to become really fun. At around level 70, i think its 72 to be exact you get this ability called the blackest night. Its my favorite ability in the whole game. I also call it the kill button. Its used during pulls and tankbusters. So what it does is that its a sheild and once it breaks after you get hit enough you get a free use of one of your damage spells. Then it also has the best tank invulnerability, imo. The best one is definitely paladins but i like drks a lot. I mean, you HAVE to die in order for it to work but you get back to full health its great. I also like how you have to sweat a bit to survive. At higher levels its easier cause you get a lot of mitigations. I cant remember what level you have all of them by but at a certain point you have 5 (one of them has 2 charges).
I personally find it a really satisfying and fun tank, but man you have to give it a try. At least take it to 80 for the story its very good.
Levelling the monk up rn so I can play it through the rest of stormblood (still very early in the expansions lolol) ! The combos are a lot of fun but I find they can be a little overwhelming to get used to 😅 this is why I could never be a healer I am terrible at making quick decisions LOL
Aside from that I agree the monk aesthetic is not rlly my thing, especially not for the personality I imagine my character to have. But the idea of him simply punching things to death fits him SO much I can look past it 😂
I've played a total of 3 classes and 2 of them I only just unlocked lol. I started with Dragoon and have levelled it to 55 so far, and I just unlocked Red Mage and Samurai. Not sure which of them I'm going to continue into Heavensward with yet. I'm probably going to use the end of A Realm Reborn to play around with the two new classes. I'm also very interested in trying out Reaper, Ninja, Bard, Dancer, Gunbreaker and Sage, maybe Blue Mage too. I'll probably unlock and try all of them out to see what feels right to me.
Too late, already subscribed. XD
I love bard, it is my main class, but I'm actually kind of surprised you said it was easy. Haha. A lot of people tend to complain that it requires paying too much attention to your rotation and your dot upkeep and the fact that the songs actually change in subtle ways how you should use your rotation to maximize cut offs.
Machinist isn't my favorite job, but I did really like the jobs quests and story around that.
You should do one focused on the crafting jobs. (y'know for reasons.)
and there are ppl like me: starting with paladin. When HW came out I played mch only during hw and swapped to monk when SB came out... and i'm playing monk since then with a few exceptions xD
As a player that's leveled every job to max and will occasionally play even the jobs I like the least, here's my take.
Tanks - Paladin is my favorite, having used it as one of my co-mains when leveling. Dark Knight and Gunbreaker are fun but feel squishy to me in comparison. Warrior is my least favorite, although I'm not sure I can articulate why.
Healers - I love playing healers and mained one back in WoW. Sage is my favorite as it basically lets me dps while healing the tank and has the most complex play style. White Mage is the runner up. Scholar is okay. Astrologian is my least favorite due to the card mechanic which feels like superfluous distraction from healing and dpsing duties.
Casters - Black Mage is my favorite simply for how differently it plays from pretty much any other job.
Physical Ranged DPS - Dancer is my favorite as I try to maintain the dps chain. Bard and Machinist both feel like I'm hitting targets with wet noodles, and there seems little rhyme or reason to what order I use their skills in beyond "use whatever is off cooldown".
Melee DPS - I actually like most of them. My least favorite among them are Monk and Ninja for the same reason Bard and Machinist are; their attacks don't feel all that impactful or damaging.
Blue Mage - I like the concept and the spell collecting and the occasional OP abilities, but it feels like most of the spells are useless due to most combos relying on inflicting debuffs that bosses are immune to. Also, NEW BLU CONTENT COMING THIS TUESDAY!
i play all of them and i feel very attacked from all sides
Just made me happy as a fellow Dragoon main, and it is funny but devastating when you leap to your doom
As a DNC main that’s trying really, really hard to main DRG, the rotation’s so good. Like it’s REALLY good. I don’t know how they managed to make an RNG-based rotation feel so good but I genuinely find it difficult to justify bringing anything else if I’m not really trying that hard. The burst phase is just mashing your oGCDs frantically and trying desperately not to overcap any of your meters. :V
But no seriously, it feels great and I’d be interested to hear what you think after you get to 90.
my 2 mains (dancer and red mage) were the ones you knew least about, i guess we’re opposites..
i think the fact we level Scolar and Sumoner together at the same time is actually terrible..
I leveled all jobs and yet because of this.. i know absolutely nothing about Scolar, and it doesnt help that i completely lost all interest in healers in EW either.
MNK is my favorite DPS job :P
i love how he literally has the smallest reaper weapon and still calls it huge
Could have changed but last I checked SAM was second highest aDPS right behind BLM but honestly that kinda checks out since BLM is far harder to play imo.
Favors Bard and Dragoon. A man after my own heart.
I haven't tried any casters/magic users (except for BLU) but my favorite classes that I do have in order is Reaper, Dark Knight, Paladin, Ninja, Dragoon, Samurai, and Monk.
As a bard main when I play a song: I'm helping :)
my mans said he doesnt like the aesthetic of big weapons then proceeds to say his favorite aesthetic is warrior....who wields a big weapon jesus lmfao
samurai's really cool, idc if people think it's easy and selfish i just love being a weeb, slash animations and sounds and dealing massive damage
I only recently started the game. I'm teying to level up to get the Paladin job.
I live how funny and true this is. Also the best part is the music of animal crossing behind it
Loving this honesty funny type of videos 🎉
Also your glamour are awesome!
Sage heals the party by doing damage to enemies its also more of a shield healer negating damage before it comes oh and it has like 3 aoe attacks
my main is astro/rpr, and love smn, rdm, dnc, and blm lol
not a big fan of melee, nor moving around a lot lol, so rpr is great
gnb is pretty cool, too, easy to learn imo
How did you get those claws for your Hrothgar? 👀
Your comment about the "gigaweapon" look is exactly why I dislike Reaper. I know, I know, it's a silly reason, but does the scythe have to be so damn huge??
finally subscribed because i've watched so dang many vids but never realized i wasn't subbed. Sorry for the delay - your videos are glorious!
Wonderful video but letter rankings for tier videos are sooooo boring! I like tier ranking vids that have fun tier list titles
With NIN you walk and run 10% faster than other classes.
"Let me do job tier list" btw I only have two classes at max level as a FFXIV youtuber.
I just post on this channel for fun lol
your hrothgar ninja is like the burly older brother to my miqo'te ninja
my lightning shooting mashine is in S. im fine with that
My ears are bleeding. Dancer is so good ;-; I promise if you tried it you would definitely put it like minimum B tier or higher. It's such a great job to play! I switched to it from Bard once it was unlocked and basically mained it all the way to endgame.
So I'm really new to the game, and I have a question. Do I have to level up multiple classes on the same character, or can a make multiple characters and have them all be a different class like in other MMO's.
You can do either!
@@Swiftbeorn Thanks.
bro u can't rate smn without hitting 90. the class at 86-90 is when it's peak
you say we're going to rank every class, and then you show us all the jobs. where is Arcanist? Gladiator? Conjurer?
not a single class was shown off smh
Appreciate the effort, but I'm not sure you're in the right place to make it when so many jobs start off with "haven't really played it."
The main point of this video is entertainment not accuracy :p
I know that, but by the time we got to Summoner, I was irritated, not entertained. This had potential as a "wrong answers only" format. There was no roasting to be had here. You don't have to care about my critique at all, I only thought about sharing my thoughts as someone who's engaging with your content.
If you really want to roast Paladin, play and try to make sense of its Heavensward job quest story 😈
Black Mage is the best because EX0LOOOOOOOOOOOSION!!!!!!! :3
I appreciate your honesty but I really feel like a tier list isn't the best idea if you have to keep falling back on "I don't use this class", could have probably just made a video talking about your favourite classes instead of trying to include the ones you can't speak about.
Warrior is the 5th healer change my mind (spoilers you cant)
its been 5 months. i hope you have played red mage since this. because its worth it for the limit break ability alone! pls play ;-;
As a dnc main feelsbad. (Still like the vid tho)
You think I'm unsubscribed? Well that's just your opinion.
I’m SO offended by this whole list, I would NEVER subscribe to you… because I’m already subscribed :3
Honestly these opinions were funny af, keep up the good work I really love your videos they make my day so much better ❤
Let him cook
Bard king
Monk???
wholesome vid !!
Damn, it was a bit disappointing to zee my favorite DPS be ranked so low. I absolutely love Dancer, i find it be extremely fun to utilize.
I’m sure it’s actually fun but the concept doesn’t really fit my character haha
no monk, im unsubing
D:
7:37 The thing flying next to your head is a Red Mage's Focus and it is placed on the pommel of the hilt whenever you cast spells to turn the rapier into a staff (a good example of this is shown by Alisae during the opening cinematic of Endwalker).
Also, Astrologian is my favourite Healing class almost entirely because of it's aesthetic. Not only does it have the most interesting weapon type, but also SPACE DUST!
as an Astro main. I beg you to please remove undraw from your hotbar. You will never in your life and your children's lives ever use that button
Thank you xD
As a casual healer, I can tell you that all of the healers have a use in savage; White Mage and Scholar/Sage are always my go-to when learning a fight because of their flexibility and ease of use, and once I know the flow of a fight I become more confident and use Astrologian to buff people so the fight goes a little faster. Kinda sad that none of the casters made it to S tier, but you still get props from me because you put Dragoon at S tier!
Hesken: Hello! This video is about my personal opinion on things I like or don't like.
The internet: You have made a grave mistake.
'Woah, fuck, why am I jumping' you've done it, you've summarized Red Mage in one sentence xD
Said as someone who's fav caster is Red Mage...
you're not jumping you're casting *sword* , _with style_
So,as an omni class player. Smn gets more insta cast by 90 and you get to summon the primals,bahamut and Phoenix. Mch rotation stays the same after 70,only adds one more tool and charges, plus a robot. Dark is tanky versus magic and tends to do very well in savage. War is better for dungeons. Dancer is honestly like playing ddr xd, it has a rhythm to it and it depends on what skill proc. Paladin gets to go full magic combo starting 70, especially by 90. Shield healers mostly focus on reducing damage instead of raw healing, so they require planning to get them working. Ast and whm focus on raw healing,though ast requires a lot of planning. For mnk,it gets fast and ends up feeling like a fighting game with combos.
Ah, yes. Opinions. So much internal screaming. Fun video, though. I'd love to see another one when you get them all to max level
Paladin is way more fun at higher levels with all the ranged skills, party protecc options and a bit of extra mobility. Also he sparkly af. But level 50 and below is big boring.
The job identity of FFXIV has been watered down so much. If I had to assign a spice to all of the jobs, they would all be flour.
amazing tier list gonna say as a caster main yeah black mage is weird (i only level'd it to 90 to prove to myself i could) summoner is my main and like ppl say the rotation is just crayon eating but hey i'm fine with some classes being simple. red mage i leveled cause as a kid i loved zoro and fencing so i asked my red mage GF to teach me (and now i have a complex with beating healers to rez first). Scholar i thought i'd hate cause of how ppl say sage out classes it but after maxing both, i actually think sage is worse. don't get me wrong sage is fun cause of certain spells but the feels and crits from Scholar are way more fun. AST (i'm not gonna type the full name) is fun cause my adhd gets to prep alot of heals cause its more of a set and forget healer. but the cards are fun and its my main healer. white mage i thought i hate cause i think thin air is dumb but it grew on me tho benediction has made me a think "if tank has 100 hp its fine cause insta all" and last monk i thought would have tot many buttons but id say its rotation is kinda like dragoons to the point its my go to melee dps. all and all amazing video
Scholar isn't in a bad spot by any means. It just works better the more you know a fight and what you can get away with. Plus, the ability to give someone twice their health bar in shields is neat.
Having a party-wide crit buff and party-wide sprint (that also mitigates damage) is also nice.
Dragoon is best class! Amazing video as always Hesken 🤧✨
Machinist doesn't have a lot of guns
Also Machinist: Rifle, Pistol, Crossbow, Flamethrower, Gasspreader, Shotgun, BOMBS, A LITERAL DRILL SHOOTER, probably some other ones that I don't know cause I haven't played Machinist in a while, but yeah they got a lot of guns once you think about it xD
to be honest, my greatest take away was oh... my hroth can wear that... (headgear wise) I love your honesty, I hope you do get to play some of the jobs you haven't really played much and an update :D and it's ok to not the ones that are so not your thing :) have a blessed day :D
Gunbreaker all the way, it's the only class i played other than dragoon to unlock gunbreaker, I'm by far not the best player to ever use it, but I have a blast playing it (pun intended).
Haven't seen the video yet. But If i hear you smack talk Dragoons, me and my boi Estinien are gonna be knocking on your door.
Update: Your good fam.
Get classes to 90 then remake this video please. I need a follow up lol samurai especially becomes fun at 90. Low level its biring af.
What about a datacenter world slander now
so,,, basically, you just dislike the aesthetic of every job besides summoner and gnb
Loved the video and your rationale behind most of it, because aesthetics matter as much as mechanics. Sometimes people forget that. XD
If you don't mind, I'm gonna share my own opinions on a few of the jobs because you inspired me to share. :)
SCH was actually my healer of choice from the start (I'm a filthy healer main. XD) I knew I liked shield healing cuz I like seeing bubbles on people and damage never happening. The addition of lots of OGCD healing spells and Emergency Tactics (makes your next shielding spell into a pure healing spell) for those moments of hard-hitting raidwides/tankbusters helps smooth out spikes in damage. Plus having your faerie friend to help heal everyone's booboos is just precious. :D
I get what you mean about MNK, it felt so awful at early levels, so much that I was actually gonna stop leveling it. But I'd say give it a shot. As I leveled it and got more abilities I learned how it's meant to feel. With the stances the job uses, your combos can free-flow between two different sets of single target, or back-and-forth from single-target to AoE without needing to start combos over, so you're never locked into a combo string. It's flashy and powerful sounding too when you hit things, so for me, it's a very satisfying job to play. :)
DNC's story quests were also some of the better ones imo. That and its utility and how dynamic it feels means it's my ranged DPS I can fall back on. That and seeing my big fluffy cat-man dancing to the beat as he slices enemies up with his chakrams makes me smile. :D
Agreed on PLD. It's my last tank to level and it's mostly due to how bland it feels. Maybe as I get into the 70s with it things will change. Time will tell.
I had thought DRK would end up being the same, but I did the story and fell in love with the lore. And I feel the same, a big sword just looks awesome. It's also actually surprisingly tanky, but I suppose that could be said about any of the tanks once you learn the ropes well enough.
I'd share more, but I'd end up rambling for several pages. XD
Thanks again for the awesome video, it was very entertaining! :D
I dislike how dragoon backflipping over poison puddles still poisons me
