This is the kinda mount that should be in moogle events instead of old extreme mounts anyone can easily unsync. Make it cost around 500 mogtomes

As a tank. It CAN be problematic if DPS pull. But in general, if a DPS is pulling, its because you are pulling too few / too slowly / to safely. My rule is if DPS are pulling, Pull first. Pull More. Pull FASTER. PULL EVERYTHING! PULL THE WALL! PULL THE WORLD!!! You will feel the limit when the healer starts sweating "OOM". When the healer Mana stays below half for more than a couple of seconds, its time to rest. This way it's "The healer sets the pace." and I think that is the most wholesome way to do it, because NOBODY is gonna shit on the healer.

I read people saying that the DPS endanger the party because of taking adds etc etc, i agree DPS never must lead and take the pull, i personally cant let them die but it makes me a bit angry but FF had been using the same system of 2 big pulls then boss since HW, so as a Tank i must be able to get the big pull and survive it unless you have a bad healer or you did some power level (you are a newbie), so at least in ff14 there are not an issue about grabing adds like other games, just in ARR content, but there is an issue with MF DPS grabbing the pulls and not avoiding the AOEs just harrashing healers and the DG Pace

1 year later, it's still absolutely abysmal.

Worst change to date, god i miss stormblood.

Thanks brother.

I dont know why FF14 didnt make every tank stance switch like Warrior, lossing a GCD on PLD felt so clunky and made tank swaps feel awkward, a your waiting for your next GCD to pull agrro. But ultimately i enjoyed it, i do see why they removed it as some Tanks wanted to max out their numbers, but it always came at a price, and put alot of conflict between tanks and healers especially. It reminds me when they changed cleric stance in stormblood, which as a shit healer i was overjoyed, no accidentally healing my team with the wrong stance. I imagine some healers didnt like the change. I think in general aggressive tank stance always felt cool and fun, but i did see the problems it caused.

Developers: These unique mounts will solve the tank shortages in duty finder. Taru TV: I'm about to end this man's whole career.

Saint Moc's Arb (Hard) can be done under 9 min fairly comfortably with practice with the bonus of the Verdant Partitions that sell for quite a lot.

You have one of the rarest mount in the game gg

Does siren soloing and unsyincing siren song sea count towards the gunbreaker tank mount?

Wouldn't this be the Ktiseos set as its silver and black? I'm asking as I go through endwalker!

I ask my healer before. I don't have an issue doing it. What upsets me is Dps and healers running ahead pulling because they are impatient.

please bring thiss back why the 13 mount only from this

I just loved this video. Started playing a gladiator yesterday and have never tanked before. Super nervous and this made my life way easier now. Thanks!

just watched your vid and found it extremely helpful! I switched from dps to tank and found it quite daunting to play till i saw your vid. Would interest the community if you also created a higher level tank guide - lvl 50 (trials/ARR) and end game

I remember that old titan fight. I was always told you gotta be quick "IM NOT UNDERSTANDING!!" lol. I want to like pvp it feels like there is something but just doesnt give any reason too. No world duels or pvp events to help with this or balancing with the lag. I get destroyed even when following guides and such.

hey there, new to ff14 and new to tanking :) 1 question, can I play with legacy cam on as tank and turn my back towards enemys while pulling more? or will I take more dmg then?

How come its not called TOPU 🤔

Well Square didnt know what to do with healers since years. Thats the problem when none of the devs is main healer :-/

They can clear TOP without Healer-class, they're on another level. You have to ask yourself, can you clear TOP without Healer like them? If not, then play or find Healers. If you can, then you're on the same level as them. Healers are fine but people are griefing because Healers are too easy for them to play. They want challenge, not casual style. The devs make healer easy to play and friendly to the most of players.

The kess you does not mean you are playing better, it means everyone else is playing better, there is a difference I dont really see where issue is here, most of the high end content grinds and duties either take one healer or ignor healers all at once And again, its not as if all groups can pull doing doing TOP without heaers that easily

Healers: mad at bad players for not using mitigations, rez, self heal bc they can’t DPS Also Healers: mad at good players who actually use their mitz, rez, self heal and know how to dodge mechanics and not use rescue on cool down because they know feel like they are useless Seven hells, I don’t know what mental gymnastics y’all about to go 😂 0.00001% of the FFXIV population is not enough proof that healers are in a bad spot or is no longer needed. Y’all reaching.

i feel like SE almost had the idea implemented correctly when they release sage. to me SE isn't brave enough to embrace the nature of healer dealing damage enough that we only get Kardia-Kardion effect. If they lean more to the correlation between damaging and healing more, maybe it can be a good step forward to rework the healer. But for now, things will not change. And the TOP no healer clear is just the effect of how a content designed where healer is supposed to do more DPS than healing but SE doesn't give healer many option to be unique, fun, or rewarding for both dealing damage & healing

Most content still requires a healer in this game so meh. I'm more concerned with the amount of people that roll healer and can't press esuna or regen... lol

I think an important thing to distinguish is that reducing the amount of healing you need to do is always the objective of healers across all RPGs. Healing is a response to taking damage, which is always what the party seeks to reduce, and a good healer is looking for the right heal for a given situation--i.e. using the healing that you get the most value of so that you have to spend less healing resources to address a situation. What makes FFXIV different in this approach comes from a combination of factors: Fights do not output damage constantly in this game, and there are huge break periods between when the party is forced to take damage. Healers have considerably more healing resources than they often know what to do with. Certain non-healer jobs have considerable amounts of party sustain and healing support. Many healers have been unhappy with the direction of the healer role for the least 4+ years, and many of those healers have since abandoned healing in favor of tanks or DPS which offer far more engaging gameplay at all levels of difficulty. That might not be how every player feels, and that's totally okay, but this walkout of healers has steadily grown, and it's become more and more challenging for party finder groups to get healers as a result. Resolving this issue is going to require tackling all three of those points, not just one. Fights need to deal damage more frequently. Healers need to be retuned to compliment this frequency by slimming down their healing action library and giving them more offensive spells that make moments between damage still feel fun and engaging. And non-healer support needs to be dialed back and exist to support the healer's experience rather than replace them.

Healers aren't in a bad state. Your talking about the best of the best in the game. To make healers more relevant to that extreme level of play get rid of the non healer raises and let smn and rdm do more damage.

easy fix bring back protect and let healers buff damage when over healing so that more healing is more dps

Agreed on FF is a DPS oriented game, that's why I think that Square will add dual jobs on 7.0 they'll let everybody do DAMAGE and there will be "DPS with healing/shield CDs", "DPS with defensive CDs" and "DPS with damage CDs", in other words a DPS with a Sub role.

So quick disclaimer, I've not seen or done every single inch of content in this game yet, so take some of my thoughts/college essay here with a grain of salt, alright? ^^' I do kinda rack my brain a little bit every time this argument comes up. While I feel like there is *some* valid criticism over the nature of how healer works in this game, the "The less you heal, the better you're playing the class" thing feels incredibly disingenuous and a backwards way of looking at it. ANY game that has a healer can operate under this philosophy. If a healer doesn't need to heal, that means that their teammates are doing a good job avoiding damage, which ideally everyone should be trying to do anyway, yes? There's another comment saying, quote: "It's not good design when mistakes are the only thing that makes the healer valuable in a fight to correct. This is not how healers should be designed." That's literally what a healer is designed for, what the hell are you talking about? You see an attack, you dodge it. If you don't dodge it successfully, the healer will heal you. What about in FPS games? You see an enemy, you kill them before they kill you. If your aim is off and you take a few hits, the healer will heal you. In ANY game, the healer is there as insurance, a way to keep you in the game and widen margin for error or make said errors possibly less punishing. I feel like the arguments for healers being underpowered or "bad" in this game come less from the nature of the class ITSELF, and more from the fact that other classes have options that widen that aforementioned margin of error already. Mitigation on tanks, for instance, a necessity for the class to survive certain pulls without the healer spending all of it's resources keeping them alive the entire time, which gets risky as not all healers heal the same amount at the same levels, so there needs to be leeway for the content to be clearable with any class. Even something like DPS having healing options, While I can understand the feeling of that invalidating healers, personally as a healer main I welcome the help! Nothing makes me smile more than the team eating a raidwide and as I start patching people up, seeing a vercure or two thrown my way. About the only argument I can KINDA get behind is Esuna being underutilized but I for one don't like even the thought of cycling through every single teammate and sitting through a GCD cast spell to prevent them from taking too much damage/dying outright if it's a Doom marker or something. Something like this being the 1% of the 1% of the 1%, isn't a fair representation of most content, and while sure, at the top level content most players know the mechanics well enough to dodge or avoid major damage so the Healer has less focus on healing, sure. But that argument is "Healer is less useful in top level content", not "Healer is bad and needs an outright redesign". I agree with the other comments that say this is more a testament to questionable design of high tier raids, which I CANNOT comment on as I've done only a single Savage and that's about it, so I have no right to expand on that thought. TLDR: Healers are generally fine, this is not indicative of most content. A healer not needing to heal means the healer has good teammates more often than not. Asking for a more interesting DPS rotation is fair, but I wouldn't take it too much further than that, personally. A lot of this feels like an overreaction to people cheesing things in a way that was neither intended nor expected.

Im not sure if saying the class is doomed when a very small percent of players being able to do it without healers, would agree that they could make it less or a bore to play at times but that is when almost every single person is knowing what they are doing I suppose relying of mistakes to happen to make it fun for most savage raiders wouldn't be the best mindset for the class, that i would be more concerned about. Some change to the class would be nice ; u;...

Yes, the 0.001% didn’t need a healer, time to get rid of them altogether…

I think its fine. You have to balance the game assuming regular people are playing, and regular people are going to make mistakes which will need healing. You can't balance the game around the 1% of the 1%. Healers need a fun dps rotation though. Right now it's too boring.

I don't think healers need a complete redesign, thats trying to address the problem when the problem is really the raid design or a couple odd abilities like Cover which occasionally allows the odd cheese of a mechanic. What needs to be addressed is how Ultimate is spilling over onto Savage content. I could care less that the 1% of the 1% of the 1% managed to pull off something that probably shouldn't happen normally, that doesn't effect the rest of the game. Trying to address the class would be like punishing the first person that climbed mount everest by saying "well now do it without shoes". It doesn't effect the rest of the content so lets not worry about it, healing by and large will still be required by 99.9999___% of groups. What does effect the rest of the game is the scaling up continuously of mechanical difficulty of the raids where Savage is no longer being labeled correctly. There are easier Ultimates these days than some of the newer Tier 4, 8, and 12 content. Largely this is a problem where the fights are turning into giant spreadsheet battles especially with fully randomized mechanics.

Frankly, I don't think things being clearable by weird comps is bad. What I do think is screwed is how heavily the 14 team leaned into healer's healing toolkit without giving them proper reasons to use it in a solid 60% of content, and cheesing your way through another 30%. Until you need to remove two debuffs within some 15 seconds of each other, you can just bring a bard, a red mage, and two of the tanks with solid healing capability. Either their solution is signifigantly increase raidwide damage and random damage on non-targetted party members, or they give healers a proper DPS rotation.

Easy fix; remove raise from dps classes.

Even it is hard and need a shitton of strategy and skill.. where is the reason for healer in a MMO with the "holy trinity" when you can clear the hardest pve content without one?

it just shows that healer is pretty much a dps class at this point with healing abilities nothing inthe game rquires a healer at this point or at leats in EW that is we need role depended mechanic tbh

Huge flaw in game design. even if you sift through logs...I mean healing numbers are so low and you really only need 2 healers for mit...idk the game just feels so bland as a healer.

Its not a problem that a group managed to do something really cool and high skill, but TOP's design just kinda sucks. Why bother forcing such strict roles onto every player if those don't matter in a fight

Make healing spells all instant cast and have them cost a bit more. Muhahaha!

FFXIV's encounter design is what needs a complete re-design. Unfortunately I don't see that happening without some massive changes on the backend. Bosses can't auto-attack while casting in XIV, and this is massively hindering the damage output on tanks. Healers don't need to dedicate very much, if any, healing to auto attacks with current tank design. Meanwhile raidwides completely stop bosses from auto-attacking while they are being cast, and don't come frequently enough to exhaust the healing resources of two healers. Nor can raidwides happen that often with how spiky they are in damage, and they have to be that spiky because of all the shields and raidwide mitigation we have. The TL;DR is that the players are way too strong for the current encounter design and that square probably can't change encounter design to match our power level. Or if they can, it will completely change XIV's combat.

What we thinking, healers needing a big re-design? Let me know. Original kill VOD - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qafLg3mFaJmSfJo

WoW Classic is just the perfect game for a hc levelling, as there is always new ways to tackle a challenge, and most times deaths are gonna be due to your mistakes

I see last video wasn't a rare occasion :p back to uploading videos? <: cool cool

S-E has always tried to make PVP a thing even at the first and second fan fests they pushed it HARD especially the second one and even at the fan fests it has flopped hard. They are even shoveling tons of items into it such as adventurer plates, glamour etc and still people largely avoid it. It will never be a thing, glad they keep trying for the less than 1% out there that like in the Final Fantasy community. However they spend too much energy on it compared to other things that need to be improved or added to. For instance there's a lot of high end endgame out there but not enough for the casual and semi-casual/semi-harcore playerbase and lets be real thats a giant amount of player base and subscription revenue that they need to feed and keep which benefits everyone. I hate pvp with a passion in all games, I think its dumb content designed as taking the easy way out by designing just a handful of maps and walking away so that they don't have to develop much else especially AI bosses and abilities. The only pvp in FF14 that has been any level of engaging was Seal Rock back in Heavensward because it took teamwork and getting into the other two teams heads and both of those are something that are very much anti pvp community as largely people just want to go running out of the gate like a viking and smash stuff until they die. Won't be a thing never will be a thing, kind of a waste of effort, energy, and manpower except for the first 5-6 weeks where people get fired up and then its a non-event.

I'm lvl 44 paladin and left years ago, getting back into it and this definitely helps remind me how to do it right, quality video mate

How are you entering the fights solo? I finished emanation extreme unsynced and doesnt look like I got credit towards my drk completions :(

Communication between healer and tank is key, this video needs more views. So many dungeon runs would go more smoothly if the tanks and healers TALKED TO EACH OTHER, all it takes is two messages and the dungeon can get going.

I agree with everything but would also add; I would love to be able to have some level of customization to pvp. Whether that’s being able to select different skills, choose armor that may have small effects or maybe even a logos action like in eureka. Just let me be a bit different than everyone else playing the same class I am, other than skill being the only dividing factor
