- [7.0] Time for Picto! Its seriously my new favorite Caster to play. It does stupid damage, has a really fun kit, and is just satisfying to play. Highly suggest trying it out.

Something I forgot to mention, these spells/abilities use up Hyperphansatia stacks as well.
- Holy in White
- Comet in Black
- Star Prism
Can you use hyperphantasia on the canvases too?
@codedduelist5309 you wouldn't want do anyways would be a dps loss
@@ciaranmadden9469 Was just wondering, thanks for letting me know! ^^
@@ciaranmadden9469 Using a muse that gets you a full creature is not a loss during that time and it's a part of the standard opener.
@@DracoSuavesorry yes in the opener only
Another little fun fact I discovered by mistake: Swiftcast works for Motifs while in battle. It's great if you need some Hammer Time as quickly as possible.
Yeah since you have such a long cast/recast time you can triple weave inside. I like to use it to wing muse/Funny Moogle Death Cannon/hammer time
I feel like optimizing the class will be learning when to swiftcast for Motifs
@@dbzteen31885 One good optimisation is that if you're going to be moving for more than 2 seconds, you'll want to swiftcast a motif. If you're in a state where you need to paint anyway and you're forced to move, this is a gain. For picto it's far more important to get casts off, than worrying about optimal damage output as if you can't paint and get your burst windows set up correctly, you'll fail art class.
You get long gcd after swiftcasting motifs
@kubekzpiciem it's the same recast timer as if you had hardcasted the motif. So for anyone wondering, you do not "save" time with swiftcast. This is why you should try not to cast any motif during the burst window, to maximize damage.
Definitely would love to see a rotation guide! Thanks! Much appreciated! 😊😊
HOLLOW PURPLE
Dang man this class looks crazy cool. Always a big fan of non-traditional magic users
Your combination of script, clear narration and explanation and adding the in game icons and names makes this so useful! Great job!
Been loving your guides! Would def want to see a rotation guide. Haven't played a DPS since ARR but have really enjoyed Pictomancer; coming from a print education background
love how the subtractive palette (CMYK) is normally only for professional photo printing. but you can use it by hand with the power of magic
It’s here, ive been waiting for this to drop. I know its not a complete guide on rotations and stuff, but I definitely use it to have an idea of the basics of how to start to set up my rotation in which i figure it out from there
YAY! As someone pretty far from Dawntrail, I've been living vicariously through videos. So nice to see more videos from you!
I… don’t think I’ve ever been this early to ANY video before.
Also this class almost makes me want to get into FFXIV. It looks so fun. :)
As a long time FFXIV player This is the first caster to surpass Red Mage in terms of fun for me. It truly is an excellent job to play.
As an art student in college, this was the kick that got me to play FFXIV after having it recommended to me by friends. This game is amazing and I'm so happy I found it
Thus they set forth on a long and grueling path.
If you play 8 hours a day it will take you about 2 months to catch up to the point of unlocking it. FFXIV I think is worth it, but still something to keep in mind lol...
@@Dark3nedDragon Yeah for sure, I started in January and didn't finish post EW until like..2-3 weeks before DT's launch. It's possible if you pretty much mainline all the story but I haven't done much besides that
thank you for this guide. so many other picto guides don't even say the skill names or even show the picture of the skill being casted it was all just "do this do this and this into that"
Aside from blue mage, to my knowledge, picto is the first class to have an offensive water spell
Actually, White Mage had fluid aura, which did damage. So Picto is the 3rd class with an offensive water spell
I can’t thank you enough for this and your other job guides. I don’t generally consider myself an idiot but, when it comes to new jobs and the first few days trying them out, it’s my brain can’t interpret the tool tips. So I follow the glowing buttons. But eventually it is cool to actually know how to make the most out of a job. So thank you. 👍
i'd love to see guides for openers and roations for all jobs honestly
This is a great guide!
Thanks for this simple yet effective christal clear video 🎉🎉 That’s why I love your content this much ❤ I’m 89 pictomancer and I’ll main it for this expansion I think 🎉 see you on stream ❤🎉
thanks a lot for this, the skill descriptions can be a little daunting especially when jobs start at higher levels so a nice and simple explanation like this is very welcome.
considering by the devs' own admission jobs with utility will need to do less dmg i am almost certain we're either getting other caster buffs or picto's damage will be lower when actual endgame comes around. Still looks like a fun job with plenty of variations and options, I'm gonna enjoy it a lot!
Video of the UA-cam reading tool tips sick
I would be interested in an in depth rotation guide. I have been playing ff14 for about 2 years but have never dived deep into "getting good". I love pictomancer so much though that I would love to actually play "properly" and then see where I can go from there! :D thanks for all your videos.
Please make a rotation guide! This video was lovely, tysm
I would like an opener and rotation video...also appreciate this one! ^.^
Based on my recent experience of a tank suddenly deciding to move the mobs after I'd already put down my starry circle, it seems you have to inside the circle when it ends to get the instacast rainbow drip.
I would love to see a more in depth guide!
Very good video.
nice guide ！ 👍🏻💪🏻🥰
Just at a glance, this definitely feels like a job that snowballs super hard. Which makes sense, since you're literally painting your rotation. It almost feels like a slower Red Mage with the potential damage of Black Mage.
picto does the top of dmg of all jobs, blm doesnt even do more dmg that the lowest melee (ninja) so yea
@@Kirianda wait did they nerf Blm?? I thought it competed with Samurai for most dmg.
@@a.z.pantera5577 not in dawntrail, it needs serious buffs
I'm confused as to how to weave the canvases and normal spells, and do we leave our canvases blank if in the middle of battle (with no downtime)?
If no downtime or look away mechs in the fight, then either swiftcast or start casting when your Muse has 3-5 seconds left before it it's fully charged. Then you can combo chain your Motifs, muses and finishers.
Since Motifs are long cast, when do you recast them after usage?
You can do it whenever, just make sure not to cap the charges for creature/weapon
Swiftcast works for Motifs during fights, in case you need to quickly get a Motif up to immediately use.
The best times are when the boss is un-targetable (duh) or second best is when you have to turn away. Otherwise I try to cast it whenever and keep a white paint or two just in case for movement
Edit: forgot to say don't recast during the starry night buff, that 3 second cast time is a massive damage loss during the damage window
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!
you should make a in-depth pictomancer guide
Im for rotations vids aswell, more videos to watch 😊
I love this job despite getting killed everytime
I'd love to see a more in-depth guide as well
Honestly, how is this job so fun to play?
Great video, thanks 💕
I can’t play any other job now that I’ve been spoiled with smudge.
nice video
Black mages are so butt hurt right now
would love a rotation guide
Meanwhile in healer town: 111111112111111121111111
Picto time
Came here to learn how to rez and the only thing I learned is that a whole party of randos gaslit me into thinking I could rez TToTT
No matter how many guides I watch or how much I practice. I don't get this class at all. My brain hurts with it lol
hes overcomplicating it just press what glows its super simple
bro this job is braindead lmao
Please do AST next, it got a significant rework so it should be different enough to need a new video.
Coco c. 😉
I kinda wanted final title to be like "Relm Reborn" or "Peaktomancer". Picto perfect is kinda boring. What a missed opportunity. Also would be nice if we could draw-write something, like bards or dancers with their stuff. Anyway fun class with toon force powers:D !
I would LOVE to see a guide with more details~
While im not super huge on the painting thing(mainly due to all the different colours not fitting my 'edgelord' glams lmao) the job plays great.
Picto gunna get nerfed, can't have it being stronger than Yoshi-Ps main BLM 😅
You’re zoomed in way too close to your WoL, and can barely see the abilities as they’re going off.
Other than that, great video!
damn currently picto is just blm but better big sad
An idiot's guide to blue mage when?
this may be the most overtuned class ever added to FFXIV and that’s saying a lot.
I don't think picto has a rotation to begin with the entire kit is situational outside of your basic combo everything else is based on what situation your in
Pictomancer actually requires thinking and strategy it's very easy to pick up and hard too master and sins every encounter is different I don't think picto has a set rotation
ofc it has a rotation you need to fit into your burst window and make sure you have your motifs rdy for your next burst
Anybody else think this is the lamest possible class they could have chosen? We're in the worst timeline..
This wasn't a guide; it was an ability showcase.
So convoluted for no reason others than be complicated. Not fun.
its easy af lmao
Yikes. So sad that idiots like you cant grasp basic things to you resort to crying :(
