EDIT: Hey guys, I dont really care if you dislike a change or whatever, please keep negativity or dooming out of the comments, if youve got feedback go give it to the devs on the forums! What are you guys most excited for??? Let me know!! I'm personally so excited to play Machinist actually LOL but DRG will still be my main!
With the switching between Woops and Jill for this video, it feels like a news report and i kinda love the mental image of Woops and Jill at a desk, all fancy in suits, just giving us this news like a pair of news anchors :')
@@LegosRock223 I be honest, having Xenoglossy AND Ice Paradox was quite overwhelming for me because for an optimal Rotation, you WANT to use only 1 of them, so I'm not that sad it is gone
@@larsbohmer6319 there isn't really an optimal and it was all situational - of course, now there's an optimal, because if these changes go through the entire class will be on rails
They did the same thing from STB to Shadowbringers. Then Shadowbringers to EW. In EW, the only time the 4s duration thing ever mattered was in TOP P6. It has never mattered, even in w1 savage. Like yes, it's still good to time it, but it's not mandatory outside of Wave Cannons and 2nd cosmos dive in TOP. In some comps, though, ive seen a tank mess up their 25s and still live wave cannon. Unless they make every aoe/buster in savage super punishing like p6 TOP, nothing is gonna really change. (I should also say, harrowing hell in p10s W1 should be more common with all the massive mit changes in 7.0)
Yeah thats something they did with Reaper too, went from eyes spinning watching the media tour to "Oh thats actually REALY easy lol". Really helps the mental symmetry
woops talking about DOT stacking on Sage in DT, and not to be all "back in my day...", but, back in my day playing WHM and SCH in HW and StB, DOT stacking was like, the standard. WHM having Aero 2 + 3 and SCH with Miasma + Bio in a 1-2 punch was just how it was, SCH even had like 4 or 5 separate DOTS it could slap on at any given time (and could spread them all w/ Bane) and i loved it. Then ShB came around and squenix was like "we can't go having healers have more than two or three damage buttons, their poor little brains couldn't possibly handle it" and all healers' damage options got gutted. And sure maybe the potencies were all adjusted to make it even out but I genuinely miss being a goofy ass DOT-master healer, pianoing between all its DOTs and still trying to be a good healer tickled my brain in a way i really liked, then ShB just made SCH into a sleepwalking Broil bot and it really killed a lot of my love for the job. I still play a bit of SCH every now and again today, but man, I will die on the hill of StB SCH being my favorite iteration of the job, even if squenix thinks my brain was too small for it. point i'm trying to make is, woops being like "two DOTs from one healer on one target seems so crazy and interesting" and i'm over here like the meme of Wolverine laying on a bed looking at a picture but it's me looking at a picture of StB SCH like "yeah stacking multiple DOTs on a target as a healer sure would be interesting, wouldn't it..."
What Sage has is basically identical to what Scholar had to do with Miasma II as well. It was a point-blank AoE with a DoT that had a total potency higher than Ruin at the time (mostly because Ruin was a very weak spell since SCH was reliant on DoTs for damage), so you wanted to be sticking close to the boss to keep it up when possible. So having both a ranged and "melee" DoT as a healer isn't a new thing either, and SGE has more mobility than old SCH did, so I don't see it being a big problem.
Commenting before I finish the video but yes I do love the dots stacking for SGE. At least one of the healers should have 2 (permanent) dots imo, just for variety's sake. I am sure they are aware they went a bit overboard with healer simplification in the last 2 expansions.
@@TheVivi13 Except they changed it in the best way possible. Removing Huton means no more annoying pre-pull shennanigans, removes the awful feeling lv50 combat where you waste a mudra every 60seconds for buff upkeep and makes burst feel worse. Removes a mudra being a buff that you use.. once. Removes the useless huraijin button that you only used if you f*ed up the huton upkeep. And overall just makes the job feel way way better. AOE Trick attack will make aoe packs more enjoyable with more buttons. And much more. Honestly the Ninja changes are better than what I could have come up with, hats off to SE.
The dot stacking on Sage is like Scholar back in the day with Bio/Miasma and Miasma 2! Miasma 2 was an aoe based on the character and most of the time it was used to keep up but also movement so maybe SE are bringing back that playstyle with Sage which is kinda cool but also sad at the same time LOL I miss that so much on Scholar
Bio, Bio II, Miasma, Miasma II, Aero, Shadow Flare, and iirc Thunder too, but only if you swapped your cross class skills after casting Protect/stoneskin.
I'm still really nerdy/hyped for Picto using the RGB + CMY[K] color spectrums in its Job logic/identity to convey the light+color categorization of the Mages. So, so cool 🌈✨
I don't see any problem with that, every 123 string performed rewards you with an instant Holy Spirit that you can utilize while you disengage from the enemy, not to mention PLD's magic phase giving you up to 10 seconds of ranged, high damage attacks. Now with upgraded Requiescat having 25 yalms cast range PLD gets even more comfortable maintaining its rotation while doing a mechanic at range.
Am i the only one not looking forward to this? XD well im not gonna rain on everyone parade, but im probably staying with Scholar after all so ill probably play Sage more casually cause balancing 2 dots now specially one that i thought would be AoE only isnt really a cup of tea for me.
@@gabrielfurtado2171 we have been begging for DoTs back on SCH since they took them away from us, so yes yes you are in the minority. Just sad they put the DoTs on SGE instead but I 'll take what I can.
Not sure how I feel about drg changes. I feel like they're simplifying everything which has a possibility of getting a little less interesting. Not sure why they got rid of spineshatter dive that does damage for a gap closer that doesn't. I hope I'm wrong because I love drg. I still miss my twizzler T-T
it was such a weird decision to remove all the old gap closers and replace them with a generic one when they could have just removed the damage from the old skills.
As a Healer main, I'm ssssooooo beyond happy that we're getting some more damage abilities on Astro, White Mage, and Scholar. I'm just hoping that things, actually hurt Tanks in casual content this time around. Lvl 90 dungeons with even an undergeared Warrior have been a little boring.
@@yeetusdeleetus4697 you should also be concerned about the lvl 100 skill that is *just* a 10% mitigation. it's essentially a Dark Emissary but placed as the final skill of the job.
Same as a healer, but 48:34 You can see they were pretty much new and cleared it without a healer so... I think I'm just going to play as a DPS this expansion. :/
Viper seems to not like controllers. Everything is broken down into fives and controllers are based on fours. This is going to be a pain to figure out how to slot.
As a longtime Gunbreaker main I'm honestly kinda bummed to see Rough Divide go, I would have preferred they just drop the potency from it and keep the animation. Traversal is just way more boring.
If sage keeps the stacking dot going live it will be my most hype healer because then it keeps the promise yoshi p said about sage being the healer that caters to the people who miss the more old school style healer, Otherwise I'm hype for the healers in general. and surprisingly Pictomancer.
finaly a creator who is not dooming because things change. great vid. seems like they just streamlined alot of the jobs. i am excited to try all the jobs in dawntrail.
But that's the problem- Everything is not only being streamlined, but also simplified. We already had a HUGE 2-minute-problem in Endwalker, there's no diffrence between the Healers and Tanks, and these changes indicate that Square is going to only simplify and continue to make everything bland.
Not me watching the intro and spotting the way that the swords were on your back and thinking "Oh god the Kirito comparison to Viper is growing stronger" 🤣 They look cool though I love those swords, even coloured the same way for a Kirito look lmao. (Just backwards)
Great video, Woops! You and Jill put in a ton of work to provide such comprehensive coverage and it really shows. Hype as fuck for FULL METAL MACHINIST!
I think that the funny thing about pictomancer is that, if you turn on party spell effects, you can look over to your picto teammate and know what they're doing if they're painting a bunch of motifs.
Viper having some positionals and buffs that remind me of old mnk fist of fire and fist of wind somewhat is just really funny to me (long time mnk main).
I dont think theres gonna be any major differences dot stacking on 1 boss if the pot is so low. However dotting mobs as you go and then throwing out the aoe dot as tank is set will be delicious
So so so happy with the healers ❤️ vut Inhave a question about Sage : The "aoe kardia" ability says "When landing a spell" so are we sure it only works with DPS like current Kardia? Part two of the question: Does KARDIA still only work with DPS spells?
Cure 1 needs to be replaced by Cure 2 at level up. No one is using Cure 1 in current content anymore. If you are, you're probably doing something wrong. Hate having to keep it on my hotbars just for the random chance I get a level 29 or lower dungeon.
Jill appreciation comment. Absolute giga-editor. Viper looks super fun so i'm probably running MSQ with it and making it my main melee, replacing reaper. GNB is my main tank and looks flashier and more fun than ever. SGE is my main healer and that DoT stacking definitely does sound interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how it feels to actually maintain but you're right in saying that it's about to get interesting. I'm excited. RDM is my main caster and that moulinet change has been needed for so long. Needing 60 gauge for it was always so weird feeling. The changes and new additions all look interesting and there's some good QoL so it all looks great. gonna take time to learn the new rotation and flow for it. MCH has been my main phys ranged job but if I'm being honest I never put much time into phys ranged past leveling. This might change in the future though with how cool the new MCH stuff looks. I need this expansion in my hands RIGHT NOW. Everything looks so cool and I'm super excited.
As a DRG main I do worry that not having to build eyes and just going into Life through a GCD Geirskogul will make the job lose some of its identity. I also think the jankiness of having to target an ally for Sight while setting up your buffs was definitely weird, but very Dragoon, I will miss it... But firing off three Nastronds immediately seems like so much fun, and having a followup hit to Stardiver feels so cheesy that I'm looking forward to it immensely. Incredibly excited to get my hands on this rework and see how it feels - videos like these are informative, but nothing beats hands-on experience.
Years ago I found your channel due to that period of time where you played FNF and Beat Saber semi regularly. When you went back to focusing on FFXIV content I stopped watching, purely cause I thought I would never play the game. That was until a few days ago, when I tried the game on a whim. I am in love with it, have already found a group I enjoy playing with in the streets of limsa, and cannot wait for the servers to come back up… even if i’ll be stuck in queue hell.
Man I know nothing about what was being said. But with how excited Woops sounds when explaining this stuff makes me happy. And it’s good background noise I can sometimes notice whenever a new ffxiv video comes out and I can go “oh right I remember that”
I feel like I’m gonna keep pressing my gap closer on Dark Knight out of muscle memory for burst windows lol. Still, I am a fan of many of the new changes, just gotta get used to it with enough time.
First off really liked the switching of Woops and Jill for each of their input for their expertise; Honestly need to get my hands on many of the jobs to get the new feel for them but Picto looks incredible finally a caster that has a good amount of movement while having more casting going on and things to work on.
Good fucking riddance dragon sight, the jankiest god damn buff in the game. JUST TARGET A PARTY MEMBER IN A MIDDLE OF YOUR ROTATION TO GIVE IT TO BRO. If they left it instead, they should've made it work like DNC dance partner
The AST changes look interesting, finally turning cards back into something more interesting than just a flat damage buff. It makes me want to play AST. The lvl 100 skill is disappointing though. Sure, 10% mitigation for the whole party is useful, but I feel like the final skill of an expansion should be something bigger with more impact. SCH gets angel form, SGE gets partywide Kardia, WHM gets partywide shield and Regen, and all AST gets is their own Kerachole with a 120s cooldown. I mean, Expedient at least had the increased movement speed on top of its 10% mitigation, and people already weren't very happy about that, but this one doesn't even have this.
Huh, so you only have to cast a single blizzard 4 to get all of your heart stacks back? That seems like a normal--- *sees Manafont get THAT crazy buff* "LET'S FUCKING GO!"
Dungeon spoilers: That first boss: OH THE HUGE MANATEE. So this seems to confirm that Thancred and Urianger are supporting Koana and competing with us. I wonder how serious that competition will get (honestly it will be kind of messed up if we and the other scions treat the future of a continent as a fun diversion). So Bakool Ja Ja is probably the sibling with imperialist ambitions and the antagonist for the early part of the story. Now we just need to see the fourth sibling (is it the young girl in the art?).
the astrologian change though.... a little disappointed but at the same time maybe looking forward to it?? i just really liked being able to buff more than 1 person but now itll feel a little more challenging trying to not sit capped on your cards but also not letting it go to waste either lol
Other people: *complaining about specific nonsense and features of doing combos.* My dumbass: “Why change bootshine? :( Now we just flail our arms like cats T-T.”
I imagine because of all the adjustments and flash we might actually see the least amount of SMN parses since EW PIC just looks like it has so much going for it and BLM is really about to be on FIRE. Excited!
I haven't been keeping up real close with all changes over the years. Mostly which class im maining or want to main at the time but has MNK gone through thr most number of fairly drastic reworks? Not mad at it i just think its really interesting. Monk looks kinda wild. Also so excited for BLM changes and picto and viper look like a lot of fun!
Honestly? As a guy that mained tanks and melees...I'm thinking this new change of scenery means that I'll be going BLM and Picto of all things...Picto seems like it has a good amount of variety in how you approach the opener, doesn't seem to really have a set rotation and more of a priority thing going on while prepping your big hit Medeen for 2mins.
Hey Woops as a DRG main maybe you could answer this for me. Does Drakesbane benefit from Lance Mastery 100 bonus potency for 5th hit combo or is it just a flat 440 dmg?
You probably already figured this out but lance mastery 1 was removed and you get drakesbane at that level instead. The new lance mastery 1 is now what was previously 2 and so forth.
I do find it kinda funny that woops' interest for DoT2: Electric Boogaloo is because positioning could be weird with it being melee ranged but like. I already have to plan around positioning at melee ranged during burst window so i cast phlegma. So now I basically just get to hover a lil closer to the bosses than i already did so i can do DoT uptime :D
As a whm main im mind blown! I'm loving these changes, but with that said the potency of these skills scares/excites me for how much damage there will be in high end content🎉🎉🎉 Lastly, excited to see spofie fly off the map with whm gap closer😂😂😂
For dragoon, If I'm understanding correctly we can't combine wheeling thrust with fang and claw for our hotbars? I was hoping we could, I love everything else about the class
I was kinda bummed when they put a cap on the number of fell cleaves you could slip in to your IR, but having off GCD fell cleaves in between my fell cleaves helps scratch the itch : D
I really, really do not like the changes to goring and sonic break. It just feels so needless, espically for paladin because a change I've been begging for since the rework is just combining fof and reqa into a single button and with the upgrade to reqa it was the perfect time to do it. LIke it's literally just idiot proofing the rotation and it just feels very needless.
I'm an AST main and I thought they were going to dumb down the card system I am so glad I was wrong. AST looks like it's going to be so fun and the new Job rotations seem more busy which I definitely like
trying not to summoner depression post but it sounds like smn just got dropped to the bottom of the caster strength ranking….. feel like pure shit just want her* back *(heavensward smn)
New acceleration for redmage is awesome, no more double weaving and no more swift cast during the opener. We are even speedier now with a bunch of instant cast GCDs to weave our new oGCDs.

What Sage has is basically identical to what Scholar had to do with Miasma II as well.

I dont think theres gonna be any major differences dot stacking on 1 boss if the pot is so low. However dotting mobs as you go and then throwing out the aoe dot as tank is set will be delicious
The happy squeal I let out when I heard Jill. Love having the switch between Woops and Jill.
It feels like AST is becoming more like Yugioh with every DLC
All it's missing is the Pot of Greed. It allows you to draw two cards from your deck.
I mainly play Tank so I'm loving the improvements to damage mitigation but Machinist just becoming Gundam Heavyarms is so cool too.
So so so happy with the healers ❤️ vut Inhave a question about Sage :
The "aoe kardia" ability says "When landing a spell" so are we sure it only works with DPS like current Kardia?
Part two of the question: Does KARDIA still only work with DPS spells?
Yes, of course it only works on DPS spells.
Cure 1 needs to be replaced by Cure 2 at level up. No one is using Cure 1 in current content anymore. If you are, you're probably doing something wrong. Hate having to keep it on my hotbars just for the random chance I get a level 29 or lower dungeon.

Welcome back, Miasma 2 🥰
Jill appreciation comment. Absolute giga-editor.
Viper looks super fun so i'm probably running MSQ with it and making it my main melee, replacing reaper. GNB is my main tank and looks flashier and more fun than ever. SGE is my main healer and that DoT stacking definitely does sound interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how it feels to actually maintain but you're right in saying that it's about to get interesting. I'm excited. RDM is my main caster and that moulinet change has been needed for so long. Needing 60 gauge for it was always so weird feeling. The changes and new additions all look interesting and there's some good QoL so it all looks great. gonna take time to learn the new rotation and flow for it. MCH has been my main phys ranged job but if I'm being honest I never put much time into phys ranged past leveling. This might change in the future though with how cool the new MCH stuff looks. I need this expansion in my hands RIGHT NOW. Everything looks so cool and I'm super excited.
As a DRG main I do worry that not having to build eyes and just going into Life through a GCD Geirskogul will make the job lose some of its identity. I also think the jankiness of having to target an ally for Sight while setting up your buffs was definitely weird, but very Dragoon, I will miss it... But firing off three Nastronds immediately seems like so much fun, and having a followup hit to Stardiver feels so cheesy that I'm looking forward to it immensely. Incredibly excited to get my hands on this rework and see how it feels - videos like these are informative, but nothing beats hands-on experience.
Years ago I found your channel due to that period of time where you played FNF and Beat Saber semi regularly.
When you went back to focusing on FFXIV content I stopped watching, purely cause I thought I would never play the game. That was until a few days ago, when I tried the game on a whim. I am in love with it, have already found a group I enjoy playing with in the streets of limsa, and cannot wait for the servers to come back up… even if i’ll be stuck in queue hell.
Man I know nothing about what was being said. But with how excited Woops sounds when explaining this stuff makes me happy. And it’s good background noise I can sometimes notice whenever a new ffxiv video comes out and I can go “oh right I remember that”
We love Jill in this house!
if pictomancer is about painting, it's a weird choice for them to use RGB like a computer monitor instead of RYB like, you know, paint?
I'm 100% hoping on picto in order to start my whimsical tomfoolery arc
Jill you're my favorite editor now, just because you also appreciate the DAMMMNNNNN bird
I feel like I’m gonna keep pressing my gap closer on Dark Knight out of muscle memory for burst windows lol. Still, I am a fan of many of the new changes, just gotta get used to it with enough time.
First off really liked the switching of Woops and Jill for each of their input for their expertise; Honestly need to get my hands on many of the jobs to get the new feel for them but Picto looks incredible finally a caster that has a good amount of movement while having more casting going on and things to work on.
New manafont is fucking crazyyyyy bro what the hell
Thanks for fitting everything into 1 video
Thank you for putting this together! I love the Dragoon changes, as well as almost everything else that we know about this expansion!
Good fucking riddance dragon sight, the jankiest god damn buff in the game. JUST TARGET A PARTY MEMBER IN A MIDDLE OF YOUR ROTATION TO GIVE IT TO BRO. If they left it instead, they should've made it work like DNC dance partner
The AST changes look interesting, finally turning cards back into something more interesting than just a flat damage buff. It makes me want to play AST.
The lvl 100 skill is disappointing though. Sure, 10% mitigation for the whole party is useful, but I feel like the final skill of an expansion should be something bigger with more impact. SCH gets angel form, SGE gets partywide Kardia, WHM gets partywide shield and Regen, and all AST gets is their own Kerachole with a 120s cooldown. I mean, Expedient at least had the increased movement speed on top of its 10% mitigation, and people already weren't very happy about that, but this one doesn't even have this.
Picto is crazy
Huh, so you only have to cast a single blizzard 4 to get all of your heart stacks back? That seems like a normal---
*sees Manafont get THAT crazy buff*
"LET'S FUCKING GO!"
Dungeon spoilers:
That first boss: OH THE HUGE MANATEE.
So this seems to confirm that Thancred and Urianger are supporting Koana and competing with us. I wonder how serious that competition will get (honestly it will be kind of messed up if we and the other scions treat the future of a continent as a fun diversion).
So Bakool Ja Ja is probably the sibling with imperialist ambitions and the antagonist for the early part of the story. Now we just need to see the fourth sibling (is it the young girl in the art?).
the astrologian change though.... a little disappointed but at the same time maybe looking forward to it?? i just really liked being able to buff more than 1 person but now itll feel a little more challenging trying to not sit capped on your cards but also not letting it go to waste either lol
Oof. I felt that "Why..." in my bones.
Super nice guide. Perfect mix of updates, opinion, and showing relevent things. Great work!
Other people: *complaining about specific nonsense and features of doing combos.*
My dumbass: “Why change bootshine? :( Now we just flail our arms like cats T-T.”
I imagine because of all the adjustments and flash we might actually see the least amount of SMN parses since EW
PIC just looks like it has so much going for it and BLM is really about to be on FIRE.
Excited!
I haven't been keeping up real close with all changes over the years. Mostly which class im maining or want to main at the time but has MNK gone through thr most number of fairly drastic reworks? Not mad at it i just think its really interesting. Monk looks kinda wild.
Also so excited for BLM changes and picto and viper look like a lot of fun!
Honestly? As a guy that mained tanks and melees...I'm thinking this new change of scenery means that I'll be going BLM and Picto of all things...Picto seems like it has a good amount of variety in how you approach the opener, doesn't seem to really have a set rotation and more of a priority thing going on while prepping your big hit Medeen for 2mins.
This video is really well made, amazing job and thanks for all your work you put into this, can't believe how close the expansion is already, crazy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@woopsI been wanting to know, if DRK got a new running idle animation?
Hey Woops as a DRG main maybe you could answer this for me. Does Drakesbane benefit from Lance Mastery 100 bonus potency for 5th hit combo or is it just a flat 440 dmg?
You probably already figured this out but lance mastery 1 was removed and you get drakesbane at that level instead. The new lance mastery 1 is now what was previously 2 and so forth.
I do find it kinda funny that woops' interest for DoT2: Electric Boogaloo is because positioning could be weird with it being melee ranged but like. I already have to plan around positioning at melee ranged during burst window so i cast phlegma. So now I basically just get to hover a lil closer to the bosses than i already did so i can do DoT uptime :D
As a whm main im mind blown! I'm loving these changes, but with that said the potency of these skills scares/excites me for how much damage there will be in high end content🎉🎉🎉
Lastly, excited to see spofie fly off the map with whm gap closer😂😂😂
Bard mains get non target reliant songs and a buff consolidation and be like "PLAY CHARIOTS OF FIRE!"
For dragoon, If I'm understanding correctly we can't combine wheeling thrust with fang and claw for our hotbars? I was hoping we could, I love everything else about the class
I was kinda bummed when they put a cap on the number of fell cleaves you could slip in to your IR, but having off GCD fell cleaves in between my fell cleaves helps scratch the itch : D
I really, really do not like the changes to goring and sonic break. It just feels so needless, espically for paladin because a change I've been begging for since the rework is just combining fof and reqa into a single button and with the upgrade to reqa it was the perfect time to do it. LIke it's literally just idiot proofing the rotation and it just feels very needless.
I'm an AST main and I thought they were going to dumb down the card system I am so glad I was wrong. AST looks like it's going to be so fun and the new Job rotations seem more busy which I definitely like
trying not to summoner depression post but it sounds like smn just got dropped to the bottom of the caster strength ranking….. feel like pure shit just want her* back
*(heavensward smn)
Very great coverage, I'm happy to discover your channel through media tour :)
So viper has no party utility confirmed?
Damn. People made fun of black mage so much he told his papa WTF IS THAT MANAFONT.
died in 5.0, born in 7.0
welcome back aero 3, miasma 2
I could almost hear the guy sayigng "Ful Metal Alchemist" xD. I subscribed because of that hahaha
New acceleration for redmage is awesome, no more double weaving and no more swift cast during the opener. We are even speedier now with a bunch of instant cast GCDs to weave our new oGCDs.
I mained Scholar back in HW and seeing a return of DoT stacking warms my cold, Miasma 2-less heart
Let's goo, no more bloodspiller animation spam!
I cant believe yoshi p neutered niddhog....
As a DRG main, I still miss my blue glow. :( They stole it from us and gave it to Viper.
we kinda have the old AST back but i love it we have more variety card to play now instead of just dmg buff
