"Why do they learn it so late" is what I ask for half the skills in this game. The levelling process would be so smooth if they let you learn the quality of life stuff earlier. FF14 actively makes you do old content so they really can't build a job only around max level.
@@jaydee758 I'm still amazed that 2.0 managed to save the game. Sure it was better than 1.0 but just because the garbage is less stinky doesn't change that it's still garbage.
@@Irimu_ i never played 1.0 so I can't really say anything to that end..but I personally loved 2.0..I never started tanking until Heavensward release as I was to in love with whm
The only thing I really wish they would do is when level synced.. is let us use all learnt abilities you have..like how Rift did it...once you get the flow of your job..doing a low level dungeon honestly sucks..jobs feel so empty
Even though you just basically read the tooltips, and I read the tooltips, it was much clearer when hearing you say it and have a nifty animation when explaining it. Subscribed!
I would love if the devs implemented a little short 5 seconds video showcasing how the ability works ingame, it would be so cool because sometimes when i try reading tooltips with new skills (specially newer classes) my brain just melts
I can actually agree with what you said haha, I read it, and the monkey bashes his I can't remember the names for them things, but youtube man says it out loud and I understand
Shield Bash was useful in ARR extremes like Leviathan Extreme, where you could stunlock certain adds that you had to kill before they casted something nasty. Shield Bash is special as while it an GCD attack, you dont have to wait 25 seconds like with OGCD Low Blow, and can just spam it on mobs until they become stun immune due to diminishing returns. Its kinda useless nowadays, but for for dungeon content and older content it has its uses.
Ikr it not useless I use it a lot in dungeon mobs if I don't have a whm as a healer but if u have a whm as a healer then yes it is useless cuz the whm will stun the enemies better, but if u have the other healers u can stun the enemies instead
Again, it’s awesome how you clearly detail the actions or spells with what they look like. No else does that on UA-cam as far as I know. Keep up the excellent work!
I want to say this: You explain things like those "books for dummies" and it's perfect. Sure I like some "treat me like the moron I am" types but not always. your guides don't do that which I'm thankful for. Thank you for clear instructions on the guide that always start off with a laugh -seriously, the ASTRO one was GOLD!-
To clarify, the healing that procs Divine Veil is from any skill that's listed as a "spell" that does healing. This is why scholar's fairy heals, Embrace and Seraphic Veil are both Spells. Other Spells include Holy Spirit and Holy Circle after they get their heal, and the healing done by a Sage's attack spells when they have Kardia on you.
I am glad you go over the moveset, but I would like your take on how to play the job, going over tactics and how and when you think you should use abilities. I know you go over them a little as you talk about each ability, but an after section on rotation and playstyle would be helpful.
I was just running around doing 1-2-3 and some AoE and defensives with active Iron Will. This video was super effective. I hurt myself in my confusion!
Despite starting as a paladin and only paladin clear to 90 i also forgot about shield bash. Even though i share the frustration of its existence. Paladin has so many situational skills to use and some of them are dramatically stronger to the point of feeling like the pendulum of balance swung hard the other way once they get there. Before those upgrade points though they are are lot easier to forget. Spells are nice: No requiescat? don't bother then. Most use i got out of intervention was cleaning up after someone gets caught out and is way lower then they should be and the odd off tank scenario where a tank gets a helping hand during a tank buster(intervention has basically no cooldown compared to a normal mitigation skill) Lotta use out of clemency saving people and taking a load off but my main group doesn't like me using it EVER(even when i literally save their life with it :) ). Passage is really cool and really situational but theirs plenty of places to use it during most encounters. Weirdest thing has got to be high level paladin action when your a healer and you find the paladins health barely moving during fights between their mitigation and the healing they get from just doing normal attack things. I won't say they don't need heals but if everyone else dies a Paladin can often still be fighting if mechanics permit for almost a minute or more after the healers drop.
Shield bash still has its uses even on trash pulls that does aoe or tethered itself to squishy allies. What you want is really the interruption rather stun effect. You also have your low blow and other abilities too which I encourage people to use as well other than just your class abilities. No abilities are useless in the game, it's just situational that's all
Hey! Shield bash is basically another 10 seconds of damage mitigation as good as hallowed ground when you have 2 or less mobs. Stun one and shield bash the other and save your off global cooldowns for the next wall to wall.
5:51 I think it's still useful. When you enter a group of garbage monsters in some dungeons, you can interrupt multiple enemies from casting spells faster than other tanks.
# make shield bash great eventually For real though, it’s only real use is in PoD or HoH. You can use it to be extra safe but it’s not necessary. It sucks that you have a shield but don’t use it for offense at all, even though it is technically a weapon. Other than that, Paladin is fantastic. Unlimited Blade Works anyone?
I'm... gonna have to see and listen to this video a few times as I level up my character. It's quite a lot to take in. Good vid though. First playthrough and plan to main Paladin. Currently lvl 65.
I like how you added shield bash at the end. Because on PS4 / PS5 you have limited space on hotbars. Where I place my tank stance and shirk on a hotbar I can't see. However shield bash isn't available anywhere for me. Is there a way to combine leg sweep (a stun move) and shield bash into one button via a macro? I would like to use leg sweep then shield bash when leg sweep isn't available
PLD Main since ARR. I feel that lack of gap closer any time i do old content. Low Level PLD is so dull i almost don't want to run certain roulettes with it.
I have some questions. I play with controller as paladin, but skills such as intervention I think would be rather hard to pull off with controller since targeting and changing targets with controller seems quite complicated. Any advice? (Other than "play with M&KB)
Oof. I know the pain. i end up plugging in a keyboard and use F1-F4 for quick party targeting. if you found any tricks to make it work easier on controller let me know
I love using Shield Bash when the boss is at like 0.5-1%. Is it particular useful skill in later content? No. But is it funny to imagine my Paladin WoL jumping up and smashing the shield into the the boss' face as a finishing move? Yes. Yes, it is.
If you're like me and have put off doing it forever its tank gear from Eureka (post stormblood content) stormblood has a lot of similar raid (8man) gear also like the omicron/omega raid gear. Theres also a lot if unique pvp gear also that's worth looking at for a fellow glam enthusiast
Something else with Shield Bash to make it even more useless. Low Blow is a Role Action available to all tanks that's not affected by global cooldown (OGCD), but stuns just as effectively. The only downside is you have to wait 25s to use Low Blow again whereas Shield Bash is on the GCD. But yeah, I've used Shield Bash maybe twice in my entire career and both times were in Sastasha on the first boss to stun it out of the AoE paralyze move it does.
I think maybe the reason Paladins dont get a gap closer for so long is because they can cast at range?? I don't know, GNBs get Lightning Shot and Rough Divide, so that doesn't really hold water anymore...
@@MegastarXIV No that's definitely not it, because every tank has a ranged attack from really early on. Tomahawk for Warrior, Shield Lob for PLD, Unmend for DRK, and Lightning Shot for GNB. DRK and GNB even get their gap closer especially early so it most likely comes down to them wanting to keep to a strict timing for when you learn abilities and not wanting to shuffle anything around to make room for it earlier on. The real solution is to just learn it the same level as Shield Bash so you get something that isn't useless at the same time :)
Slowly making my way through FF14. Started at the start of this year with the goal of at least becoming a Dragoon. I'm basically there now, I think Paladin might be my next goal since Dark Knight is still a ways off. (Also can you tell FF4 is my favourite?)
Actually Shield Bash can be used on large pulls, when an enemy does a large AOE so the monks, dancers, dragoons, ninjas don't have to reposition, causing a DPS loss... Really should know this m8
@@Coolio_Ash pretty useful as OT to cast on MT on tankbusters (esp. in combi with your sentinel or rampart up) or even the healer if required. I also use it often during pvp to throw on pt members
Even tho this is an idiot's guide, I was expecting a max level opener for boss fights and such. Could you implement a section for that on the next videos? Loving the content~
Shield bash needs to be remade. It should stun stunable targets and silence unstannable targets without the stun effect. Otherwise it can be just removed.
I have my sheild bash macroed to low blow, with the shield bash icon. that way i can just hit one button and always have a stun available. saves space.
There's some debate on Hallowed Ground being "the best" invuln in the game. All of the invulns effectively do the same thing: keep you from dying, aka being able to ignore mechanics (generally targeted abilities and shared tankbusters). Generally there's not a big reason to need full immunity, so going down to just 1 and no lower is perfectly fine, as any good healer will tell you that as long as it's not 0, you're fine. This makes GNB and WAR tied, as GNB makes you invulnerable to damage but makes you go to 1 hp, while WAR just prevents you from going lower than 1, or at least they would be if WAR's didn't have the shortest cooldown making it usable multiple times in almost every boss fight. DRK's is the worst in most situations since it forces your healers to waste resources and time to get you back up to full so you don't die, though WHM can ignore this entirely with Benediction. So with all that in mind, PLD's does effectively the same thing: keeps you from dying, but has an ungodly long cooldown, meaning it's generally not going to be used more than once in a fight. This means it effectively ignores less mechanics during a fight than every other tank. So while most people just see "Full invuln, only downside is long cooldown", most *raiders* see "effectively does the same thing as the others, but can only be used once", making it either 3rd place or even last place for some.
Real confused why paladin, a class typically known for being holy, doesn't have a revive, but scholar does. Have yet to figure that one out. But I much prefer tanking in this than elder Scrolls online, something about running into a group and just using my 3 AoE's then down to two AoE's to hold aggro. Paladin has by far been one of the easiest classes I've used, and I have a 66 paladin, 68 BLM, 61 bard and 41 drk and a 50 samurai and red mage:L I'm slowly working on dark knight but also working through heavenward so have been spending time on my 60s more 🤣 still would like a revive for paladin, but eh, it's a simple enough rotation so far, literally AoE mobs and single target bosses
Uh, hallowed is definitely the second worst invuln in the game, the order going Holmgang, Superbolide, Hallowed, Living Dead imo, the cooldown is sooo long on hallowed making it no where near as good as holmgang with a super short cd
It could even be argued that Living Dead is better if you have a WHM since there's not really that many times you should need to use Benediction other than during Living Dead and it effectively lets them stay invulnerable for almost the full duration without worry.
Youre absolutely trash at paladin if you think shield bash is useless. when pulling large rooms you pick the most annoying mob that has a ranged AoE attack and you can literally stun lock them. that way the party spends more time focusing on DPS and Healing rather then running to evade an AoE attack. There is no place for stun in a boss fight, its literally for Large Room pulls / Adds. Youre welcome.
Hallowed Ground is the best invul in the game? No. it isnt. its one of the weakest. The cooldown is what makes it so weak. The best invul in the game goes to Warrior for obvious reasons. if it isnt obvious to any, Ill explain. -you can use two holmgangs in the time that it takes a paladin to use a single Hallowed ground. -Hallowed ground animation can get you killed. If you character doesnt finish their animation by the time you get hit, you'll take the dmg and die while Hallowed get consumed anyway. Meaning you lose Hallowed for seven seconds and dont even get the effects of it. -Most raid encounters are about 12 minutes. Meaning youll only get to use it once a fight. Not saying Hallowed isn't good, Just saying its not "the best".

Watching this as a DRK main : *pain*
There's some debate on Hallowed Ground being "the best" invuln in the game.
All of the invulns effectively do the same thing: keep you from dying, aka being able to ignore mechanics (generally targeted abilities and shared tankbusters). Generally there's not a big reason to need full immunity, so going down to just 1 and no lower is perfectly fine, as any good healer will tell you that as long as it's not 0, you're fine. This makes GNB and WAR tied, as GNB makes you invulnerable to damage but makes you go to 1 hp, while WAR just prevents you from going lower than 1, or at least they would be if WAR's didn't have the shortest cooldown making it usable multiple times in almost every boss fight. DRK's is the worst in most situations since it forces your healers to waste resources and time to get you back up to full so you don't die, though WHM can ignore this entirely with Benediction. So with all that in mind, PLD's does effectively the same thing: keeps you from dying, but has an ungodly long cooldown, meaning it's generally not going to be used more than once in a fight. This means it effectively ignores less mechanics during a fight than every other tank.
So while most people just see "Full invuln, only downside is long cooldown", most *raiders* see "effectively does the same thing as the others, but can only be used once", making it either 3rd place or even last place for some.

yeah i think you mean Summoner..
but obviously tank that can revive is a bit too OP.. so just leave it to Red Mage for non-healer Res lol
Whats a tank buster?
Heavy damage attack that literally busts the tank outta existence
shield bash ? you mean low blow ?
Uh, hallowed is definitely the second worst invuln in the game, the order going Holmgang, Superbolide, Hallowed, Living Dead imo, the cooldown is sooo long on hallowed making it no where near as good as holmgang with a super short cd
