So Jocat being biased towards the tank is old Jocat lore. His favorite qeapon in Monster Hunter is the sword and shield, and that was a running gag throughout the crap guides to MH (which is also why the drawn character looks like...that), so Paladin being sword and shield tickles his fancy.
A note for people who may not know, Jocat is very much still alive, he's just stepped away from content creation. His content creation shall be missed. o7
The amount of vivid... He looks EXACTLY like a 13 year old deacon passing out the sacrament for the 75th tim. His birthday is soon, he'll get the chance to read the blessing soon maybe. IYKYK
I know it's not what he wants, but I so desperately will savagely 'bully' his hate brigade if I ever catch wind of equally pissed people driving over for a nice dinner at their homes. Man is a treasure and should be protected, defended, and given all the shields.
It's funny that Koe recognized Jocat from the I like girls song because that song more or less caused him to quit the internet entirely. People gave him all sorts of hate for it for absolutely no reason. Also like Koe covering his mouth after he said "shit" when Jocat's been throwing out F bombs the entire video.
Some of the other clips are captured from normal gameplay, but Jocat was always respectful and asked if he could show clips for his recordings when he did do that. Source: I was the Dark Knight with 16 vuln stacks. None of us realized he was jocat the ENTIRE RAID, until he asked the group if he could show the footage in his video afterwords.
Floor-Tank.... Nickname for Dragoons becuase they are: 1) DPS with the highest Armor Class. 2) Always found face-down on the floor (tanking the floor) due to either: a) getting killed while locked in the Jump animation. b) backflipping to their deaths off platforms or attempting to jump 'over' a gap that you'd normally die trying to cross (because the game does not see you physically 'jump' when you use jump skills, but instead sees you 'slide across the floor'.. so trying to jump across a gap you'd normally fall down, means the game sees you 'slide over' the edge.
Adding to this, its more of an older joke that doesnt reaallly hold up these days. While their defense is high, their magical defense isn't, which would cause problems for them when they had skills that made them take more damage, they would often die to raidwides as a result. Additionally, jump attacks would lock you in place for much longer then they currently do, so it was very easy to just kinda eat shit
Love to see Koe having fun but also taking learning the mechanics seriously so he can play the game right. Good man. idk if he'll ever see this but one extra thing that everyone seems to forget about and nobody told him: Blue Mage has it's own dedicated content called Masked Carnivale where you fight specific groups of mobs for score (basically puzzle battles).
To be fair, you could make an entire one of these videos just for Blue Mage. The exp bonus for killing overworld mobs (plus the leveling cheese strat), only picking 24 of your unlocked skills, BLU log, partying with other jobs through PF, how to actually learn skills (people are still confused about undersized party, level sync, BLU only, getting hit by the spell, etc), and the difference between Death effects and how Trials and Raids are immune to them. He didn't even get around to discussing the DPS rotation which is the one thing that would have fit the theme of the video :D
something to clarify about Ninja around 37:00 The combos aren't actually that long, its purely for jokes but no one is gonna deny its not on brand for first timers. Its a basic 1 - 2 - 3 and then you get your special attack just don't do the taro one, that just shows the party you fucked up
I appreciate that Koe is not only dressed up like a working professional for this but he's actually taking notes. Honestly, my suggestion for new players is for them to simply go into Hall of the Novice and complete that as it'll tell them the basics plus give them some decent starter level gear. From there you kind of just pick up things as you go through the game. However, one thing that these videos didn't mention which you will eventually learn once you pick up all of the roles is that even if you're ranged player or a caster who can attack from range, it's often best to stay fairly close to the group as a whole as that allows the healer to keep most everyone alive with AOE healing abilities AND if you ever pull aggro for some reason the enemies will hopefully still be close enough to the tank that they can grab them back quickly.
Also some tank advice For the love of god, Never Use Your Invulnerability unless it’s a tank buster and if you’re communicating with friends Tell Your Healer You Are Using It This is coming from someone learning Gunbreaker Trust me, that panic to be healed is palpable
@@livingreverie5951the second part is correct, but the first isn’t. In normal content there are no tank busters that require invuln, and only a few mechanics that don’t go through them (last boss of Syrcus Tower can be invulned, fun fact). It’s better to use your invuln as just another mitigation. And, like you said, best practice is to let your healer know so they don’t waste resources healing you when they don’t need to.
Blue Mage is a massive pain to level and get spells for but once you do it the class is stupid fun (probably my 3rd favorite job in the game behind Paladin and Black Mage). To write down some of the things that make it "limited": - You cannot queue with it in a Duty Finder or for Roulettes. If you want to go through a dungeon using BLU, you've got to use Party Finder or just make a party with your friends. Technically you can also just go to a dungeon un-synched (meaning e.g. at lvl 50 you can pick an option where you go to a lvl 20 dungeon without your level being scaled down to 20. The downside is you don't get EXP). - BLU actually gets more EXP from enemies in the overworld to compensate for the lack of Duty Finder and Roulette leveling. Still takes a while but it's much faster compared to every other class. - BLU's current level limit is 80, where for every other class it's 90 (with the release of Dawntrail it will jump by 10 for both). So BLUs do not get access to any 80< lvl dungeon or raid yet. - BLU has its own activities like Masked Carnivale (fights on an arena where you have to defeat specific enemies, some are a massive pain if you don't have the right spells for them, which is why you have to modify your spell bar for basically every fight) and Blue Mage Log (basically a selection of some already finished dungeons that you can go through with other BLUs). - BLUs are basically a godsend during every Mogtome event (a.k.a. the limited-time event where you have to complete specific dungeons/trials/raids to collect tokens that you can exchange for prizes). They have many spells that allow them to speedrun through dungeons, like shortening a minimum 10-minute dungeon to just 5 minutes. (Usually the key is a combo of a spell that freezes a mini-boss with a spell that instantly kills frozen enemies, which is why Party Finder descriptions usually state "need Ram's Voice + Ultravibration". Not to mention either a Final Sting or Selfdestruct mention, this strategy is super popular to clear raids in just 2 minutes.) It is a super enjoyable job, it's just also an equal amount of suffering. I definitely recommend it still. SIncerely, a free-trial BLU with all pre-Shadowbringers spells (yes, I hate my life.)
As someone who as yet to jump into FF14 but is now considering it with the upcoming Beastmaster job, this rundown helps me understand what exactly limted jobs are, as I understand that BST is going to be the next limited one.
@@firetools I'm honestly curious how Beastmaster is going to operate. Tbh it doesn't seem like it involves magic, so maybe it'll be the first limited Physical Ranged DPS? Time will tell but I'm already hyped. Maybe the Pet hotbar will finally have some use kekw
I wish they wouldn't have copped out on BLU in XIV and made it a real, actual job like it was in XI. I love the Masked Carnivale and spell collecting, but not even being able to do DF is so beyond lame. Yoshi-P and his team usually hit most stuff out of the park with the game but every once in a while shit feels a bit lazy and BLU is one of those to me. At least they didn't just give up on it and still give it new spells each expansion. Hopefully it's not ditched for BST.
For those in the chat, and those watching this. The music video is *not* what the harassment towards JoCat was about. They used that as a deflection to hide why they were doing it. They did it due to his continued support for the trans community. The purpose of using a clip from years ago(which he had recently uploaded a music video for) was to deflect blame to a different group of people, because they weren't getting the support they thought they would from the internet as a whole.
Sorry. But it was about the song. You even state it in a round about way. Part of that song WAS about he loved all girls including trans girls - hence all the transphobes came out to bully him for accepting trans women as women to be loved.
@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz no, you're objectively wrong. And calling a group of people "rainbows" calls out your inherent bias. You probably joined the harassment.
@yurihuffles while that could be argued, it began before anyone harassing him even knew of the song, cause they don't watch his livestreams. It may have increased due to that, but it was solely started by those who hated him for raising money and supporting the trans community before they were even aware of the parody.
@@casteanpreswyn7528I used a semi demeaning name to refer to a group of people that harassed someone before doing the same for a different group. I must send death threats on the regular -_- hope that armchair is cozy.
Fun fact: Alliance raids have enrages as well. A friend of mine and his Free Company deliberately drew out the boss fights in one particular Alliance Raid and they found that the mechanics speed up more and more as the fight goes on until they start overlapping. This, for those who don’t know, is a soft enrage.
@@casteanpreswyn7528 He definitely left due to the harassment he got over that video. He cited the video himself as the source of the cyber bullying that caused him to leave the internet
This series legit made me a much better player and I am now a pretty damn capable healer on PS4 (which is HARD BLOODY WORK) because of the starting point JoCat gave me.
In FGC parlance, imagine that every single move gives you massive frame advantage. It is in your interest to be poking, ranging, or whatever you can do at all times. Your opponent has literal millions of HP, and you're almost always racing the round timer.
If you're still going through these comments, Koe, and intend to continue playing FFXIV, I'd highly recommend taking a half hour to park yourself near a training dummy, and read through all the abilities one by one, placing them on your hotbar as you do, even if you haven't unlocked them. One of the major issues I had when learning classes, was having my muscle memory broken everytime I unlocked a new ability. Better to have every ability pre-positioned on your hotbar (you should be using 3 hotbars on PC), in the order you best think works for your hotkey arrangement. Works particularly good for when you unlock those classes that automatically start at a high level with majority of their skills unlocked, because then you can practice them on the training dummy beforehand, to make sure your hotbar layout works for you. For example, my healer main is WHM (White Mage), and I keep my single-target heals on the first hotbar, multi-target/AoE heals on the second hotbar, and attack spells on the third hotbar. IIRC, you can assign hotbar hotkeys individually too. eg: Hotbar 1 using numbers (#), hotbar 2 using CTRL + #, hotbar 3 using SHFT + #, and hotbar 4 (where i stick duty-specific buttons, items, other miscellaneous things) using ALT + #
Yeah pre planing button layouts is just saving yourself some trouble. For skills that have overlap, Lucid Dreaming, Swiftcast, Rampart, Reprisal, tanks 30% mit that they all have, etc I have them all in the same places on every class that has them. I also put single target skills and AOE skills in the same place. One problem with starting high level unlock jobs, basically Red/Samurai and on, has a lot of button vomit when you get the job, so you have to just sit there for like 5 minutes reading everything then rearranging your buttons.
A healer who doesn't deal damage is boring as hell. Same for tanks. Obviously it's everyones job to deal damage. I don't understand how this basic fact can ever be in question by anyone. "Then whats the point of dps" Don't be a dumdum, dps do at least twice the damage of the other roles. so obviously its their job too, and more so than everyone else.
Didn't really watch JoCat outside of his Crap Guides but it's a shame that he got harassed. It's unfortunate that him taking an indefinite hiatus is exactly what his harassers wanted, but if it's the best option for him it's good that he's taking it.
Something your chat got wrong about blue mages is that you can party up with other jobs just not via the duty finder only through the party finder and there max level is 80 instead of 90 meaning they cant do any of the lastest expansion also blue mage is very usefull for one shoting extremes for things like speeding up dungeon faming for glams and fighting fates
Another thing to know too when you do get knocked out depending on the situation like a raid when the boss is doing a raid wide attack, its not a bad idea to wait for the big attack to pass then get back up. Just because your given a rez doesn't always mean you should immediately get back up.
More importantly, when you do get ressed, dont attack or cast spells, use that invuln so that healers get a chance to heal you to atleast healthy. 5 seconds of invuln is long enough for a healer to heal you. I think 85% of deaths after ress is caused by the player start attacking again right away. 10% are deaths by bossattacks that go through immunities. And the last 5% are knockbacks off the edge.
6:40 --- whoever said that never played bard: sry to break this to you buts its the busiest range dps among the lot. 10:50 --- They did a minor rework on enmity/aggro: as a healer you can throw your Regen on a tank and it doesnt generate as much hate as it used to. In other words, you can use it safely now ^^ 13:27 --- You have two sorts of healer: direkt heal (heal when your buddy is hurt) and shield heal (put a shield on your buddy so he doesnt get hurt). The first category is the easiest to because its reactive, the other requires you (theoretically - it doesnt really metter unless you do hard contend...) to know the fights beforhand and prepare. 23:43 --- You get them from HW onwards, yes, in every dungeon and raid. 58:15 --- Nobody, not even the Blue Mage, knows what they do. Basically, they copy skills from monsters... and it makes them overpowered... and impossible to balance... which is why they dont belong to the "real" jobs... and dont even exist... unless you're really, really dedicated... and join the "Blue Academie" that is :D (Its a discord dedicated on beating all content on BLU ^^)
Personally I find MCH to be slightly higher APM on high end. But bard isn't far behind. I see the difference being a consistent high APM rotation for MCH and a proc-based APM rotation for BRD.
BLU actually apparently gets access to some really fun puzzle fights only they can do in their carnival. Fights with obscure or strange mechanics that the goal is to make a loadout that works for it.
41:00 reaper is a lot of fun, shares the same gear as dragoon too, minus the weapons of course, so give it a shot when you can. Only one that really does, I mean tanks can use the gear too, but they get heavy armor so why would you use medium? 52:50 try red mage if you want a mage to play with, it is pretty mobile, arguably the most mobile unless you count blues, they can be mobile too. They were black + white mages without the final levels of spells. Later in the series though they gave them more personality, nowadays they are more status based or magical fencers, typically with dual casting as a shtick. 59:06 Blue mage is a build your own job, you have 4 spell book loadouts you can use, you build it how you like. It starts with 1 skill, only 1 skill. To get any more you must observe it from an enemy, and survive when it dies. If it is in a duty (instances) you must change settings first to allow them, you can not queue normally and must find your own party, so they typically do blue parties, the skills there are 100% learnable if you also sync the level. If you do not sync, it is not 100% chance, but still there is a chance if you want to just blast through and hope for luck. Tip if you do try it though, there is also a skill that lets you solo early content super easy, basic instinct, it only works if you are solo and basically ramps your stats up to make up for the missing 3 party members. It is fun, they get their own weeklies and stuff for gil, and a sort of puzzle mode coliseum fight thing, give it a shot when you can. Must beat MS for ARR, you can then just pick it up whenever at lv 50, though it starts at lv 1 and leveling it is the hard tedious bit, you pretty much get the best exp from just killing stuff in the field. So do that, stick to within a level or 2 of yourself for best results, or you can ask a friend to help. Job really hits it's stride at 60 when you can do Pharos Sirius Hard Mode and get the ability to take on tank/healer/ bonus to dps traits, mimicry is a great skill should always have it on every loadout you make, literally the skill that makes tank or heal builds doable.
I wish people would stop saying things blatantly incorrect as the first explanation. Blue Mage can absolutely queue with other jobs, you just can't use matchmaking. It's not locked out of duty finder, it's locked out of filling the missing roles when it does queue into duty finder. But yeah, there is a bunch of content that does exclude limited jobs so that's true.
On the healer aggro thing: That video was recorded a month or three before Endwalker's release. Up until EW, having a heal-over-time effect such as Regen on the Tank would draw aggro from mobs that had not been pulled yet, from a fairly-long range, causing them to go chew on the healer. This is no longer the case, tho it's still technically possible to rip hate off of a tank who doesn't have their Stance active (or if they're just slacking/forgot to tag a mob). As the folks in chat said, just let the tank get in his first AoE before you start attacking.
Blue Mage also has its own content in the form of solo instances that act like puzzle fights. I helped my sister get a triple triad card from Blue Mage stuff… it’s hard and fun!
Koe, you forgot to write down the most-important thing from the guides and I'm hoping you've already done this but in case you haven't; READ YOUR TOOLTIPS!!! Signed: ー me, a guy who doesn't play FFXIV
Huh, the fighting game to FFXIV pipeline is real. 21:48 Okay, my group actually came across this once in P12s. The boss was mere *moments* away from casting enrage (we had a really scuffed run). I knew this. I had dumped *everything* I had into smashing its face in in those last couple seconds - all my cartridges into Burst Strike, Rough Divides - if I had it, it was going. We barely - *barely* - squeaked by onto part 2. That run ended up being my personal best.
The two guides that are full of shit are the healing and DPS ones. "Always be casting" sure, on a ranged class. As for healers you ALWAYS keep the group topped up as much as possible to avoid something I call "panic casting" which is where as a healer you race the cast bar of the boss abilities so it doesnt kill the group Edit: One small note as I saw someone in your chat say this.....NO!!! EVERYONE IS NOT A DPS!!! And anyone with this mentality playing a tank or HEALER should not be playing these classes. The only reason you DO dps is because it comes with a stipulation attached to said DPS
Soooo for the Hotbars and skills. For the MOST PART... nearly every job/class will have 8 skills they are 'always' using in a rotation. Most of the rest are OGCD's and/or situational abilities. So dont get to sticker-shocked by seeing people with 4 hotbars full of stuff. you wont be using every single skill 100% of the time.
59:16 Dead. Wrong. Blue Mages can party up with other classes through the Party Finder, just not queue for a random group, and do any content that isn't the current patch Savage tier, Eureka/Bozja, Ultimate Raids, and... no I think that's about it. Wait no, Deep Dungeons too. In return though they get the Masked Carnivale to act as decently tough solo content where if you mess up once.. usually over.
What I found that works for me was that as you play through the story of ARR (A Realm Reborn) you will be getting lots of exp as a sprout (green symbol above your character's name), when you hit an exp cap for your class, switch to another one of the others and try it out for a few levels. Then switch back to your main. You can continue doing this all the way to the end of ARR so that you get a feel for each class. By the end of ARR's story, you should have 1 main for each of the 5 categories (Tank, Melee DPS, Healer, Range DPS and Magical DPS), with 1 to 3 of those being your primary classes. This way you don't feel too bogged down by playing the same thing over and over for way too long. But that works for me. As a note, if you go Summoner for Magical DPS, it shares the same exp with Scholar (Healer).
Dunno if/how much you're into tabletop RPGs or the like, but I strongly recommend the "Crap Guide to D&D" series as well. There's a lot more of them, so you might have to break them up into multiple videos if you don't wanna marathon all of them in one sitting, but they're all hilarious, and I feel like he PROBABLY breaks things down well enough for even total D&D noobs to be able to follow along and find them enjoyable. His series on the various Monster Hunter weapons is also a lot of fun.
While Physical Ranged DPS generally have the lowest damage output - most people in high end content who play a Physical Ranged class can do more damage than the melee's. Which is something I've done a handful of times (as a dancer), and even more on my Magical Ranged class (Red mage). In the end, as long as your doing damage, people will be happy.
Mashing your skills will ALLWAYS make them come out faster because the game has a built in qeueing system with about a half second buffer so pressing a button half a second earlier than your cd ticking down it will register your skill faster than the servere ping can detect. This is by design. Also macros do not have this que system which is why putting your skills on a macro is not advised.
Yeah, BLU is there just for shits and giggles, and it's been the only limited job for a long time, but we're soon(ish) gonna geat Beastmaster, which will probably let you summon/charm enemies to fight for you, and that one's gonna be a limited job as well!
Small tip everyone neglects. Healing aggro only takes a tiny bit of management. Sprint so you can keep up with the tank if you want Regen going at the start of the fight. (Astrologian and white mage are way more likely to want this) Shield at the END of a fight or more than 3 seconds before a fight and the aggro will have dissipated already. Most healing classes have a shield somewhere at some point and if its a 30 second cool down or something its basically ready again by the time a big hit is coming. Managing cool down shields is honestly the trickiest part to healing in my personal case. This logic carries over to DPS classes and tanks too. Gunbreakers can put their Regen on a white mage to counter the aggro from their heal. And paladins can use their group shield right after enemies spawn to guarantee aggro is on them. Since the first thing registered by the enemy will be the paladin shield.
You may have learned this since this video came out but there is another possible penalty for getting hit that happens when they want to punish the players less. It is generally in place of a vulnerability stack, it's a DPS down stack.
The same will definitely apply to the Beastmaster class when it releases in Dawntrail this Summer as a limited Job, with 2 additional classes being released, that being Viper and Pictomancer
It's worth going through one of Jocat's later videos talking about FF14. He basically treated it like WoW or something and rushed through to the end content at first. I assume that's how he has all the raidboss advice and knows about enrage.
jocat videos are great but they're full of inside jokes. I'd suggest a revisit later in your journey when you've had time to take in some of the game and the jobs. I honestly think they're better later, but people are always dying to dump every bit of react content on new players. So I feel many things are watched before they can be enjoyed.
I can very much see the Fighting Game influence in the fact that you couldn't stop calling Slide Casting a Cancel. When you use the word Cancel as it's used in fighting games, it's not even really wrong to call Slidecasting a Cancel either.
the crap guides were published prior to dawntrail info, so the new melee dps Viper, the new caster Pictomancer and the new limited job Beastmaster cannot be discussed unfortunately.
The Jocat was one of the few good things in my world T_T thanks bullies Jester from Critical Role is a good example of Healers having to do damage she damages more then she heals i think XD
HOT or "Healing over Time" doesnt increase enmity when cast before pull there are some skill/spell tooltips that outright LIE to you about what they do.... but they are in the count of like 5 in the whole game...
imma be honest, i dont understand why you would have to write any of this down, it all feels like super basic instructions. then again i have instincts to understand videogames.
Watching this video as someone with 600 hours in the game, it's fascinating how we take all of this info for granted because we see it every day. But we were all just like Koe once.
As someone who mains the unholy combo of WHM and RPR, good luck with DRG. That's gonna be a heck of a learning curve, but also probably one of the most fun classes movement-wise when you get good at it. That being said, welcome to our community and I hope you enjoy your time with the game! Two pieces of advice for you and anyone else who might pick up the game as well: first one is to pick a healer, a tank, a melee DPS, and a ranged DPS and level one of each for at least shadowbringer. Just trust me on this, you'll thank yourself later if you do this grind while you're playing through the first three sections of the game and not spending the fourth and fifth sections missing 3 quarters of the optional content. secondly, pick a class to play the main story quests (MSQ) as and *only* do MSQ and dungeons with that class. Save all the normal, just an exclamation point (!) quest markers for other classes you want to level. It'll make leveling alt classes a lot more fun and interesting than just grinding out dungeons all the time
I started on Lancer/Dragoon, and I found it pretty easy to use as a primary class. The combos build slowly and change with each new skill, so you get some time to learn the interactions. It's probably more difficult to jump into at the late game, since you have some idea how other combos work, and won't see how the DRG one changes over time. Then again, the hardest for me to get into was Red Mage and Samurai. Trying to figure out the level 50 rotation from the tool tips was a headache. Had to run Samurai through PoTD to figure out the skills one at a time.
@@RothAnim gotcha, i was more talking about movement than combos tbh. The combos are easy to pick up, but I've seen countless DRG's jump off the edge of an arena lmao
@@Eagledude131 Oh! Yeah, you'll probably do a fair bit of that too. :D At least falling off the edge in the Navel is no longer unrecoverable. My personal two favorite dragoon deaths were in Eden's Gate. E3N, dive bombing the boss when the middle of the platform was missing (oops). And E2N: I hit the limit break, she casts Hand of Erebos. LB3 goes off, she survives with 0.2% health, and I'm immediately swept off the edge.

Fun fact: Some of the class representatives are based on Jocats friends characters. Some of them are Artists, Streamers, youtubers... etc
Some of the other clips are captured from normal gameplay, but Jocat was always respectful and asked if he could show clips for his recordings when he did do that.

You're not truly a dragoon until you backflip off the ledge.
Or get cleved by the tank because animation lock
"FUCK, IT'S THE SKILL-FLOOR POLICE!" is the best line outta all these videos imho ngl fr
Floor-Tank.... Nickname for Dragoons becuase they are:
1) DPS with the highest Armor Class.
2) Always found face-down on the floor (tanking the floor) due to either:
a) getting killed while locked in the Jump animation.
b) backflipping to their deaths off platforms or attempting to jump 'over' a gap that you'd normally die trying to cross (because the game does not see you physically 'jump' when you use jump skills, but instead sees you 'slide across the floor'.. so trying to jump across a gap you'd normally fall down, means the game sees you 'slide over' the edge.
Adding to this, its more of an older joke that doesnt reaallly hold up these days. While their defense is high, their magical defense isn't, which would cause problems for them when they had skills that made them take more damage, they would often die to raidwides as a result.

To be fair, you could make an entire one of these videos just for Blue Mage. The exp bonus for killing overworld mobs (plus the leveling cheese strat), only picking 24 of your unlocked skills, BLU log, partying with other jobs through PF, how to actually learn skills (people are still confused about undersized party, level sync, BLU only, getting hit by the spell, etc), and the difference between Death effects and how Trials and Raids are immune to them.
He didn't even get around to discussing the DPS rotation which is the one thing that would have fit the theme of the video :D
something to clarify about Ninja around 37:00
The combos aren't actually that long, its purely for jokes but no one is gonna deny its not on brand for first timers.
Its a basic 1 - 2 - 3 and then you get your special attack
just don't do the taro one, that just shows the party you fucked up
Jocat is a wonderful person and I hope he is happy on whatever he's doing
Koe-sensei's watching the Jocat videos too?! oh this anime arc finna HIT.
Watching a reaction to Jocat's videos has just become part of the leeching experience, and I love that we can also remember JoCat this way.
I appreciate that Koe is not only dressed up like a working professional for this but he's actually taking notes. Honestly, my suggestion for new players is for them to simply go into Hall of the Novice and complete that as it'll tell them the basics plus give them some decent starter level gear. From there you kind of just pick up things as you go through the game. However, one thing that these videos didn't mention which you will eventually learn once you pick up all of the roles is that even if you're ranged player or a caster who can attack from range, it's often best to stay fairly close to the group as a whole as that allows the healer to keep most everyone alive with AOE healing abilities AND if you ever pull aggro for some reason the enemies will hopefully still be close enough to the tank that they can grab them back quickly.
Also some tank advice
For the love of god, Never Use Your Invulnerability unless it’s a tank buster and if you’re communicating with friends Tell Your Healer You Are Using It
This is coming from someone learning Gunbreaker
Trust me, that panic to be healed is palpable
@@livingreverie5951the second part is correct, but the first isn’t. In normal content there are no tank busters that require invuln, and only a few mechanics that don’t go through them (last boss of Syrcus Tower can be invulned, fun fact). It’s better to use your invuln as just another mitigation. And, like you said, best practice is to let your healer know so they don’t waste resources healing you when they don’t need to.
It's really interesting to watch Koe learn all these MMO terms like a lot of us probably do while learning fighting game terms.
Blue Mage is like SF6 avatar battles.
Also, if someone hasn't mentioned yet, FF14 is known to be the FGC retirement home.
You'd think that these guides are self contained. But all of them have overlaps, so yeah, good on ya' to watch these. So yeah, welcome.
A koe reaction to all jocat ffxiv guides in one go? My day couldn’t have a better way to start gotta get the snacks for this one
Blue Mage is a massive pain to level and get spells for but once you do it the class is stupid fun (probably my 3rd favorite job in the game behind Paladin and Black Mage). To write down some of the things that make it "limited":
- You cannot queue with it in a Duty Finder or for Roulettes. If you want to go through a dungeon using BLU, you've got to use Party Finder or just make a party with your friends. Technically you can also just go to a dungeon un-synched (meaning e.g. at lvl 50 you can pick an option where you go to a lvl 20 dungeon without your level being scaled down to 20. The downside is you don't get EXP).
- BLU actually gets more EXP from enemies in the overworld to compensate for the lack of Duty Finder and Roulette leveling. Still takes a while but it's much faster compared to every other class.
- BLU's current level limit is 80, where for every other class it's 90 (with the release of Dawntrail it will jump by 10 for both). So BLUs do not get access to any 80< lvl dungeon or raid yet.
- BLU has its own activities like Masked Carnivale (fights on an arena where you have to defeat specific enemies, some are a massive pain if you don't have the right spells for them, which is why you have to modify your spell bar for basically every fight) and Blue Mage Log (basically a selection of some already finished dungeons that you can go through with other BLUs).
- BLUs are basically a godsend during every Mogtome event (a.k.a. the limited-time event where you have to complete specific dungeons/trials/raids to collect tokens that you can exchange for prizes). They have many spells that allow them to speedrun through dungeons, like shortening a minimum 10-minute dungeon to just 5 minutes. (Usually the key is a combo of a spell that freezes a mini-boss with a spell that instantly kills frozen enemies, which is why Party Finder descriptions usually state "need Ram's Voice + Ultravibration". Not to mention either a Final Sting or Selfdestruct mention, this strategy is super popular to clear raids in just 2 minutes.)
It is a super enjoyable job, it's just also an equal amount of suffering. I definitely recommend it still.
SIncerely, a free-trial BLU with all pre-Shadowbringers spells (yes, I hate my life.)
As someone who as yet to jump into FF14 but is now considering it with the upcoming Beastmaster job, this rundown helps me understand what exactly limted jobs are, as I understand that BST is going to be the next limited one.
@@firetools I'm honestly curious how Beastmaster is going to operate. Tbh it doesn't seem like it involves magic, so maybe it'll be the first limited Physical Ranged DPS? Time will tell but I'm already hyped.
Maybe the Pet hotbar will finally have some use kekw
I wish they wouldn't have copped out on BLU in XIV and made it a real, actual job like it was in XI. I love the Masked Carnivale and spell collecting, but not even being able to do DF is so beyond lame. Yoshi-P and his team usually hit most stuff out of the park with the game but every once in a while shit feels a bit lazy and BLU is one of those to me. At least they didn't just give up on it and still give it new spells each expansion. Hopefully it's not ditched for BST.
Vulstacks for most classes: Ooh, someone messed up
Vulstacks for tanks: Bragging rights
For those in the chat, and those watching this. The music video is *not* what the harassment towards JoCat was about. They used that as a deflection to hide why they were doing it. They did it due to his continued support for the trans community.
The purpose of using a clip from years ago(which he had recently uploaded a music video for) was to deflect blame to a different group of people, because they weren't getting the support they thought they would from the internet as a whole.
Sorry. But it was about the song. You even state it in a round about way. Part of that song WAS about he loved all girls including trans girls - hence all the transphobes came out to bully him for accepting trans women as women to be loved.
he got harassed by the rainbows and the anti rainbows, stop pretending the side you like does no wrong e.e
@AlexanderMartinez-kd7cz no, you're objectively wrong. And calling a group of people "rainbows" calls out your inherent bias.
You probably joined the harassment.
@yurihuffles while that could be argued, it began before anyone harassing him even knew of the song, cause they don't watch his livestreams. It may have increased due to that, but it was solely started by those who hated him for raising money and supporting the trans community before they were even aware of the parody.
@@casteanpreswyn7528I used a semi demeaning name to refer to a group of people that harassed someone before doing the same for a different group.
I must send death threats on the regular -_-
hope that armchair is cozy.
You know, I've never seen Koe before, just heard about him from time to time. No one told me he was Paul Blart! That's awesome!
Fun fact: Alliance raids have enrages as well. A friend of mine and his Free Company deliberately drew out the boss fights in one particular Alliance Raid and they found that the mechanics speed up more and more as the fight goes on until they start overlapping. This, for those who don’t know, is a soft enrage.
o7 Jocat. I too like girls
That's not why he left.
@@casteanpreswyn7528 He definitely left due to the harassment he got over that video. He cited the video himself as the source of the cyber bullying that caused him to leave the internet
This series legit made me a much better player and I am now a pretty damn capable healer on PS4 (which is HARD BLOODY WORK) because of the starting point JoCat gave me.
In FGC parlance, imagine that every single move gives you massive frame advantage. It is in your interest to be poking, ranging, or whatever you can do at all times. Your opponent has literal millions of HP, and you're almost always racing the round timer.
If you're still going through these comments, Koe, and intend to continue playing FFXIV, I'd highly recommend taking a half hour to park yourself near a training dummy, and read through all the abilities one by one, placing them on your hotbar as you do, even if you haven't unlocked them.
One of the major issues I had when learning classes, was having my muscle memory broken everytime I unlocked a new ability. Better to have every ability pre-positioned on your hotbar (you should be using 3 hotbars on PC), in the order you best think works for your hotkey arrangement. Works particularly good for when you unlock those classes that automatically start at a high level with majority of their skills unlocked, because then you can practice them on the training dummy beforehand, to make sure your hotbar layout works for you.
For example, my healer main is WHM (White Mage), and I keep my single-target heals on the first hotbar, multi-target/AoE heals on the second hotbar, and attack spells on the third hotbar. IIRC, you can assign hotbar hotkeys individually too. eg: Hotbar 1 using numbers (#), hotbar 2 using CTRL + #, hotbar 3 using SHFT + #, and hotbar 4 (where i stick duty-specific buttons, items, other miscellaneous things) using ALT + #
Yeah pre planing button layouts is just saving yourself some trouble. For skills that have overlap, Lucid Dreaming, Swiftcast, Rampart, Reprisal, tanks 30% mit that they all have, etc I have them all in the same places on every class that has them. I also put single target skills and AOE skills in the same place.
One problem with starting high level unlock jobs, basically Red/Samurai and on, has a lot of button vomit when you get the job, so you have to just sit there for like 5 minutes reading everything then rearranging your buttons.
A healer who doesn't deal damage is boring as hell. Same for tanks.
Obviously it's everyones job to deal damage. I don't understand how this basic fact can ever be in question by anyone. "Then whats the point of dps" Don't be a dumdum, dps do at least twice the damage of the other roles. so obviously its their job too, and more so than everyone else.
Didn't really watch JoCat outside of his Crap Guides but it's a shame that he got harassed. It's unfortunate that him taking an indefinite hiatus is exactly what his harassers wanted, but if it's the best option for him it's good that he's taking it.
Something your chat got wrong about blue mages is that you can party up with other jobs just not via the duty finder only through the party finder and there max level is 80 instead of 90 meaning they cant do any of the lastest expansion also blue mage is very usefull for one shoting extremes for things like speeding up dungeon faming for glams and fighting fates
Another thing to know too when you do get knocked out depending on the situation like a raid when the boss is doing a raid wide attack, its not a bad idea to wait for the big attack to pass then get back up. Just because your given a rez doesn't always mean you should immediately get back up.
More importantly, when you do get ressed, dont attack or cast spells, use that invuln so that healers get a chance to heal you to atleast healthy.
5 seconds of invuln is long enough for a healer to heal you.
I think 85% of deaths after ress is caused by the player start attacking again right away. 10% are deaths by bossattacks that go through immunities. And the last 5% are knockbacks off the edge.
Shame that he got chased off the internet.
someone in chat "i never hit enrage in my whole ff14 life lol" so you never do high end raids or you're new XD
Lol lina inverse/slayers reference warms my heart !
6:40 --- whoever said that never played bard: sry to break this to you buts its the busiest range dps among the lot.
10:50 --- They did a minor rework on enmity/aggro: as a healer you can throw your Regen on a tank and it doesnt generate as much hate as it used to. In other words, you can use it safely now ^^
13:27 --- You have two sorts of healer: direkt heal (heal when your buddy is hurt) and shield heal (put a shield on your buddy so he doesnt get hurt). The first category is the easiest to because its reactive, the other requires you (theoretically - it doesnt really metter unless you do hard contend...) to know the fights beforhand and prepare.
23:43 --- You get them from HW onwards, yes, in every dungeon and raid.
58:15 --- Nobody, not even the Blue Mage, knows what they do. Basically, they copy skills from monsters... and it makes them overpowered... and impossible to balance... which is why they dont belong to the "real" jobs... and dont even exist... unless you're really, really dedicated... and join the "Blue Academie" that is :D (Its a discord dedicated on beating all content on BLU ^^)
Personally I find MCH to be slightly higher APM on high end. But bard isn't far behind.
I see the difference being a consistent high APM rotation for MCH and a proc-based APM rotation for BRD.
BLU actually apparently gets access to some really fun puzzle fights only they can do in their carnival. Fights with obscure or strange mechanics that the goal is to make a loadout that works for it.
41:00 reaper is a lot of fun, shares the same gear as dragoon too, minus the weapons of course, so give it a shot when you can. Only one that really does, I mean tanks can use the gear too, but they get heavy armor so why would you use medium?
52:50 try red mage if you want a mage to play with, it is pretty mobile, arguably the most mobile unless you count blues, they can be mobile too. They were black + white mages without the final levels of spells. Later in the series though they gave them more personality, nowadays they are more status based or magical fencers, typically with dual casting as a shtick.
59:06 Blue mage is a build your own job, you have 4 spell book loadouts you can use, you build it how you like. It starts with 1 skill, only 1 skill. To get any more you must observe it from an enemy, and survive when it dies. If it is in a duty (instances) you must change settings first to allow them, you can not queue normally and must find your own party, so they typically do blue parties, the skills there are 100% learnable if you also sync the level. If you do not sync, it is not 100% chance, but still there is a chance if you want to just blast through and hope for luck. Tip if you do try it though, there is also a skill that lets you solo early content super easy, basic instinct, it only works if you are solo and basically ramps your stats up to make up for the missing 3 party members. It is fun, they get their own weeklies and stuff for gil, and a sort of puzzle mode coliseum fight thing, give it a shot when you can. Must beat MS for ARR, you can then just pick it up whenever at lv 50, though it starts at lv 1 and leveling it is the hard tedious bit, you pretty much get the best exp from just killing stuff in the field. So do that, stick to within a level or 2 of yourself for best results, or you can ask a friend to help. Job really hits it's stride at 60 when you can do Pharos Sirius Hard Mode and get the ability to take on tank/healer/ bonus to dps traits, mimicry is a great skill should always have it on every loadout you make, literally the skill that makes tank or heal builds doable.
You might have liked JoCat. He got bullied off the internet.
Koe is a great tank, he has almost 100% enmity up time with even tank stance... of the floor.
As a healer, I hate tanks that run away from my healing aoes
I wish people would stop saying things blatantly incorrect as the first explanation. Blue Mage can absolutely queue with other jobs, you just can't use matchmaking. It's not locked out of duty finder, it's locked out of filling the missing roles when it does queue into duty finder. But yeah, there is a bunch of content that does exclude limited jobs so that's true.
Jo cat didn't deserve what was done to him.
JoCat goated, sadge we lost them to the hate
speaking of the fgc, ive heard a lot of fighting game players have come over to ff14 in their off time
On the healer aggro thing: That video was recorded a month or three before Endwalker's release. Up until EW, having a heal-over-time effect such as Regen on the Tank would draw aggro from mobs that had not been pulled yet, from a fairly-long range, causing them to go chew on the healer. This is no longer the case, tho it's still technically possible to rip hate off of a tank who doesn't have their Stance active (or if they're just slacking/forgot to tag a mob). As the folks in chat said, just let the tank get in his first AoE before you start attacking.
Blue Mage also has its own content in the form of solo instances that act like puzzle fights. I helped my sister get a triple triad card from Blue Mage stuff… it’s hard and fun!
Koe, you forgot to write down the most-important thing from the guides and I'm hoping you've already done this but in case you haven't; READ YOUR TOOLTIPS!!!
Signed: ー me, a guy who doesn't play FFXIV
Huh, the fighting game to FFXIV pipeline is real.
21:48
Okay, my group actually came across this once in P12s. The boss was mere *moments* away from casting enrage (we had a really scuffed run). I knew this. I had dumped *everything* I had into smashing its face in in those last couple seconds - all my cartridges into Burst Strike, Rough Divides - if I had it, it was going. We barely - *barely* - squeaked by onto part 2. That run ended up being my personal best.
The two guides that are full of shit are the healing and DPS ones. "Always be casting" sure, on a ranged class. As for healers you ALWAYS keep the group topped up as much as possible to avoid something I call "panic casting" which is where as a healer you race the cast bar of the boss abilities so it doesnt kill the group
Edit: One small note as I saw someone in your chat say this.....NO!!! EVERYONE IS NOT A DPS!!! And anyone with this mentality playing a tank or HEALER should not be playing these classes. The only reason you DO dps is because it comes with a stipulation attached to said DPS
Soooo for the Hotbars and skills.
For the MOST PART... nearly every job/class will have 8 skills they are 'always' using in a rotation. Most of the rest are OGCD's and/or situational abilities.
So dont get to sticker-shocked by seeing people with 4 hotbars full of stuff. you wont be using every single skill 100% of the time.
59:16 Dead. Wrong. Blue Mages can party up with other classes through the Party Finder, just not queue for a random group, and do any content that isn't the current patch Savage tier, Eureka/Bozja, Ultimate Raids, and... no I think that's about it. Wait no, Deep Dungeons too. In return though they get the Masked Carnivale to act as decently tough solo content where if you mess up once.. usually over.
What I found that works for me was that as you play through the story of ARR (A Realm Reborn) you will be getting lots of exp as a sprout (green symbol above your character's name), when you hit an exp cap for your class, switch to another one of the others and try it out for a few levels. Then switch back to your main. You can continue doing this all the way to the end of ARR so that you get a feel for each class.
By the end of ARR's story, you should have 1 main for each of the 5 categories (Tank, Melee DPS, Healer, Range DPS and Magical DPS), with 1 to 3 of those being your primary classes. This way you don't feel too bogged down by playing the same thing over and over for way too long. But that works for me.
As a note, if you go Summoner for Magical DPS, it shares the same exp with Scholar (Healer).
Dunno if/how much you're into tabletop RPGs or the like, but I strongly recommend the "Crap Guide to D&D" series as well. There's a lot more of them, so you might have to break them up into multiple videos if you don't wanna marathon all of them in one sitting, but they're all hilarious, and I feel like he PROBABLY breaks things down well enough for even total D&D noobs to be able to follow along and find them enjoyable.
His series on the various Monster Hunter weapons is also a lot of fun.
Black mage is ABSOLUTELY not slower to level than any other job. People who say that just don’t like black mage. 😤
While Physical Ranged DPS generally have the lowest damage output - most people in high end content who play a Physical Ranged class can do more damage than the melee's. Which is something I've done a handful of times (as a dancer), and even more on my Magical Ranged class (Red mage). In the end, as long as your doing damage, people will be happy.
Mashing your skills will ALLWAYS make them come out faster because the game has a built in qeueing system with about a half second buffer so pressing a button half a second earlier than your cd ticking down it will register your skill faster than the servere ping can detect. This is by design. Also macros do not have this que system which is why putting your skills on a macro is not advised.
Yeah, BLU is there just for shits and giggles, and it's been the only limited job for a long time, but we're soon(ish) gonna geat Beastmaster, which will probably let you summon/charm enemies to fight for you, and that one's gonna be a limited job as well!
Small tip everyone neglects. Healing aggro only takes a tiny bit of management. Sprint so you can keep up with the tank if you want Regen going at the start of the fight. (Astrologian and white mage are way more likely to want this)
Shield at the END of a fight or more than 3 seconds before a fight and the aggro will have dissipated already. Most healing classes have a shield somewhere at some point and if its a 30 second cool down or something its basically ready again by the time a big hit is coming. Managing cool down shields is honestly the trickiest part to healing in my personal case.
This logic carries over to DPS classes and tanks too. Gunbreakers can put their Regen on a white mage to counter the aggro from their heal. And paladins can use their group shield right after enemies spawn to guarantee aggro is on them. Since the first thing registered by the enemy will be the paladin shield.
You may have learned this since this video came out but there is another possible penalty for getting hit that happens when they want to punish the players less. It is generally in place of a vulnerability stack, it's a DPS down stack.
The same will definitely apply to the Beastmaster class when it releases in Dawntrail this Summer as a limited Job, with 2 additional classes being released, that being Viper and Pictomancer
I would put BLU in fighting game terms as every other job playing street fighter while BLU sits in the corner playing Smash Bros
It's worth going through one of Jocat's later videos talking about FF14. He basically treated it like WoW or something and rushed through to the end content at first. I assume that's how he has all the raidboss advice and knows about enrage.
jocat videos are great but they're full of inside jokes. I'd suggest a revisit later in your journey when you've had time to take in some of the game and the jobs. I honestly think they're better later, but people are always dying to dump every bit of react content on new players. So I feel many things are watched before they can be enjoyed.
I can very much see the Fighting Game influence in the fact that you couldn't stop calling Slide Casting a Cancel. When you use the word Cancel as it's used in fighting games, it's not even really wrong to call Slidecasting a Cancel either.
I really miss Jocat... Had the opportunity to play with him during Dipper's live stream.
Hope hes doing ok in his new lifestyle
the crap guides were published prior to dawntrail info, so the new melee dps Viper, the new caster Pictomancer and the new limited job Beastmaster cannot be discussed unfortunately.
The Jocat was one of the few good things in my world T_T thanks bullies Jester from Critical Role is a good example of Healers having to do damage she damages more then she heals i think XD
HOT or "Healing over Time" doesnt increase enmity when cast before pull
there are some skill/spell tooltips that outright LIE to you about what they do.... but they are in the count of like 5 in the whole game...
BlueMage can play with other classes, they *cannot* queue up and have to circumvent the party finder.
It's a big pain in the butt.
imma be honest, i dont understand why you would have to write any of this down, it all feels like super basic instructions.
then again i have instincts to understand videogames.
well then I'm Offtank i use ever the Tank stance just start it later and use the usefull Skill to give the Main Tank your Enimty
Neat, Koe started FFXIV? I'm like almost 10 years and over 11000 hours into this hellhole.
Lancer/Dragoon in my mind, is sometimes the Sastasha Tank, because the tank will just quit the duty when they see what it is.
Man, I still remember when BRD's limit break was the Healer LB
So as a Bard, you had the chance to revive the party from a near wipe xD
Someone needs to clip the "Is that the I Like Girls guy?! I love him!" Maybe itll make him smile :)
Koe, i apologize if this comes off as rude....
but you look like Joe Vargas from AngryJoe
Sheldon?
Watching this video as someone with 600 hours in the game, it's fascinating how we take all of this info for granted because we see it every day. But we were all just like Koe once.
Blue mages can party with other classes but it has to be a pre-made party or via party finder. They can not use the roulette.
Wow, didn't know Level Up Iconic Green Italian started making his own streams.
You could pass as Jacob Kowalski's brother from the Fantastic Beasts movies lol
I just watched a JoCat video, and the algorithm recommended this video afterwards.
They have been called a "Crap" Guide but these legit made me a better player, especially since i main Sage (a healer class)
26:48 are we sure its about the cut or that someone in chat dident say anything wierd becouse he´s flipping u off chat. 😏
koe if you remember what enchancement shamans did in TBC with thier totems every job weaves
IRL bard jocat
It’s honestly a real shame he’s stopped because off all the threats he got for that I like girls video
blue mage is the job you take to cheat in a free teleport to an aetheryte that costs 1k gil via self destruct
As someone who mains the unholy combo of WHM and RPR, good luck with DRG. That's gonna be a heck of a learning curve, but also probably one of the most fun classes movement-wise when you get good at it.
That being said, welcome to our community and I hope you enjoy your time with the game!
Two pieces of advice for you and anyone else who might pick up the game as well:
first one is to pick a healer, a tank, a melee DPS, and a ranged DPS and level one of each for at least shadowbringer. Just trust me on this, you'll thank yourself later if you do this grind while you're playing through the first three sections of the game and not spending the fourth and fifth sections missing 3 quarters of the optional content.
secondly, pick a class to play the main story quests (MSQ) as and *only* do MSQ and dungeons with that class. Save all the normal, just an exclamation point (!) quest markers for other classes you want to level. It'll make leveling alt classes a lot more fun and interesting than just grinding out dungeons all the time
I started on Lancer/Dragoon, and I found it pretty easy to use as a primary class. The combos build slowly and change with each new skill, so you get some time to learn the interactions. It's probably more difficult to jump into at the late game, since you have some idea how other combos work, and won't see how the DRG one changes over time.
Then again, the hardest for me to get into was Red Mage and Samurai. Trying to figure out the level 50 rotation from the tool tips was a headache. Had to run Samurai through PoTD to figure out the skills one at a time.
@@RothAnim gotcha, i was more talking about movement than combos tbh. The combos are easy to pick up, but I've seen countless DRG's jump off the edge of an arena lmao
@@Eagledude131 Oh! Yeah, you'll probably do a fair bit of that too. :D At least falling off the edge in the Navel is no longer unrecoverable.
My personal two favorite dragoon deaths were in Eden's Gate. E3N, dive bombing the boss when the middle of the platform was missing (oops). And E2N: I hit the limit break, she casts Hand of Erebos. LB3 goes off, she survives with 0.2% health, and I'm immediately swept off the edge.
Healers are dps because they forgot to make healing take any effort in this game :O
You gotta watch his Monster Hunter World crap guides now XD
I just realized he did both suicide skills in his blue mage song. Lol
He’s scared of ring outs and plays a lancer… we all know where this is going.
If you ever tell healers to adjust then they have the legal right to stab you in the eye.
a lot of the 123 dps combos can just be condensed into one button though
There is an unofficial Crap Guide to Samurai. ;)
Wait. Is PGL/MNK an Eddie Gordo?
Why does bro look like Paul Blart, mall cop?
what level was Koe when he was watching this? I need context
