Squeenix: WAR is doing extremely well right now. Let's buff it.

[@casualduck1580]

Streamer endorsed favouritism

[@BM03]

He wasn't slightly unhinged. He didn't yell at chat. He didn't use that dank ass bell*. Xeems is so calm. I'm scared.

[@Its_an_Eze]

The Dawn of a new Xeems

[@AlexisLestrange]

First time seeing this side of him?

[@ringthatkill]

Had to sit down after his recent L 😂

[@wh.n]

this is because there is no chat for him to interact with lol

[@FromHJH]

Wife probably beat and threw the bell out of the house already 😂😂😂😂😂

[@grandruby5343]

Calm Teacher Xeno is my fav Xeno now. He actually can explain stuff pretty well and concise, and even his rants are calm too.

[@Nillian0]

As a Healer main... i love playing Warrior. I have experience Man Mode. I am bald now, my beard has grown tenfold. I am now a Warrior main.

[@TacoRemixx]

great growth my leige!

[@Navi_xoo]

WAR is good. Incoming dark knight buff. TBN now restores HP with each weaponskill delivered. Bloodspiller / Quietus now auto crit / DH. Wank you.

[@ShikiRyougi05]

Sounds good and balanced. Please mr. Yoshi P.

[@F3nryl]

Meanwhile gnb...

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

GNB needs its gap closer back. I need my double weaves, The job feels incomplete without them!

[@NemesisUmbral]

Well, DrK really is just a carbon copy of Warrior, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the case. Tbh I want to see Flood/Edge of Shadow become a singular skill for the sake of reducing button bloat, and because they practically function the same but for different scenarios. In a way, Shadowbringer looks pretty similar in to Flood as is, so why not just make the former into Edge/Flood but combined with the same 10% damage increase and the potency degradation on multiple enemies. Also, it would be nice if Salt and Earth actually did something more, like be a life stealing pool or increase defense while in the proximity, idk.

[@AyeeSkippy]

@@NemesisUmbral Warrior and Dark Knight are nothing alike besides vengeance/shadow wall lol

[@karlongkar]

Ok let me guess , another storm eyes rant. isn't it?

[@TCChavez]

They should give it the ninja treatment lol or a one button dot

[@GregHealthy]

i like storms eye, I miss having combo finishers on tanks. War the only one with no "1, 2, 3"

[@ExtDump]

@@GregHealthy Sir, Heavy Swing (1), Maim (2), Storm Path (3). What do you mean No 1 2 3 ? Storm eye can go as a gauge or trait at this point :(

[@GregHealthy]

@@ExtDump Storms eye is literally a 4. Theirs two combo finishers I do NOT want more 1, 2, 3 only on tanks, tanks need more combo paths and finishers.

[@ExtDump]

@@GregHealthy you said war is the only one with no 1 2 3. So I replied to you that they have one. And now you say they have two. Why didn't you say that in the first place.

[@BlitzkriegOmega]

Warrior really is the perfect Job. The only thing you can do to improve it is increase potency and add an extra Fell Cleave. Incredible.

[@johnstajduhar9617]

What's that? Add ANOTHER cartridge to Gunbreaker and upgrade Double Down to Triple down?

[@wackantheduck6883]

What's that? Add ANOTHER Confetior to PLD and upgrade 1-2-3 to exactly the same skills but with a new animation?

[@rickmel09]

@@johnstajduhar9617 add continuation to each step of the 1-2-3 combo

[@christiantucker-allen7264]

​@@rickmel09And full skill speed materia. My fingers are prepared

[@casualduck1580]

Perfectly boring and overtuned.

[@power_SERG]

The one thing I'm extremely happy with is how they managed to add to the WAR without messing up controller players. I play with controller and my setup is FILLED completely. I'm happy that the buttons that transform are buttons that i normally use on my rotations, so it feels natural.

[@Regalya]

Why the hell in my head i hear "Primal Rend" as "Pwimal Wendh" all the time??

[@gabrielh9524]

Xenos understanding and game-sense really shows through in videos like this i could sleep to videos like this he has a nice voice

[@1Mrstephen]

I like the actual Xeno content. Thank you.

[@Norrschein]

Getting up my warrior for mostly hunts and soloing old content. Thanks for the good info good sir.

[@MrGoofyGooberson]

1000 views in 20 minutes, You truly are befit of rank 1 m'lord

[@nodot17]

the biggest upgrade is the change in inner chaos animation

[@WaffleMenu]

Hey, I appreciate these videos from you. Thank you for your input and I hope to see you more more like this in the future!

[@DAVE11]

6:35 That looks criminal

[@Incensement]

I actually quite like that you need to hit those 3 Fell Cleaves within 15 seconds exactly because it makes the burst window slightly more restrictive and you can't just unga bunga in whatever order as you could in Endwalker.

[@rancitobabito]

Those hotbar keybinds are wild.

[@youtousim]

A gauge for Storm's Eye sure would be nice. As a replacement, I split my own buffs from "other" and increased the size in the HUD layout. I only learned that this is possible pretty late, which is why I point out what's probably obvious to most.

[@dariusvin9563]

Excellent video m’lord

[@mr.gamingz]

Warrior is pretty easy to learn: Step 1: Take your face and place it on the keyboard Step 2: If something lights up roll your face over the whole keyboard Step 3: ??? Step 4: Duty complete

[@shiro12okami69]

Coming Savage Tier, Meta Tank comb GNB/WAR. That will not change unless maybe DRK and PLD both get a potency increase that will match WAR and especially GNB damage output,. And even if Pld and DRK going to deal the same dmg as WAR on savage release, I think ppl will still play War over the others, since it’s just more comfy to play and obviously cause Man mode. DRK and PLD fighting a lost Fight for the first tier which is sad.

[@shanehunt3019]

On the opener I hold the primal wrath until after primal rend. Not for any sort of damage but so I can chain large explosion vfx's.

[@VoltSlash]

I thought I was the only one that struggled with finding Storm's Eye on the buff list

[@StripedSooner]

i'm going to need the PLD version, my lord

[@DatBash]

pld is literally the same as endwalker

[@simbaaslanii2666]

​@@DatBash the potency changes on the atonement combo require a bit more thinking during filler but aside from that, yes

[@StripedSooner]

@@DatBashvery neat - just now leveling it, so that means nothing to me though lmao Sometimes we just want to see the bearded paladin, ya know

[@iPlayOnSpica]

I wish you didn't need skill speed to get 4 gcds inside Bloodwhetting. Or they can change the vampire portion of it to be 4 stacks of gcds with a 9s cooldown (the actual mit durations remain unchanged).

[@Sweetwaterdream]

WAR never changes….i dont think it really did at all at level 100 aside from Stronger defencives and the two additional primal moves

[@DiverseComedyGaming]

And that’s not a bad thing, WAR is extremely good, doesn’t need to be changed

[@Sweetwaterdream]

@@DiverseComedyGaming its not a bad thing necessarily just nothing surprising thats all. In fact i think lvl 100 makes War self healing even stronger lol

[@woodenmetal2977]

I'm so convinced that every member of the development team plays a WAR or is a tank main, because WAR always seems to be the top pick when it comes to tanking in any content.

[@Sweetwaterdream]

@@woodenmetal2977 i think WAR comes second in dmg amongst the tanks but its sheer survivability just cant be matched. As a healer, you can literally not need to heal a competent WAR in dungeon content above level 80.

[@azegone7412]

Warrior is so wonderful

[@geetargato]

Use the AOE combo to get your Surging Tempest, it's just 2 actions. Then do the rotation.

[@bripk9598]

Tanking for the first time for my raid group this expansion. This is a dumb question, but what pots do tanks actually use...

[@c_huvaknunh9138]

Hey @ItsLeo can you ask Xeno to do a video for equipment and melds? Or a link to his build currently? Great video and thanks. 👍

[@geanellaguerrero3962]

How do you get your gage like that next to your mp and not have all that extra UI clutter

[@maxmuller6791]

There's actually 2 extra gcds every 2min window if you smuggle primal ruination from ur 1min into 2min

[@XenosysVex]

Yes 1 extra gdc per min as I said. Trying to carry over PR into two min buffs is a mistake a vast majority of time

[@danielqdq]

Would it be a gain to delay 1min Primal Rend so 1min Primal Ruination is in 2min raid buffs?

[@XenosysVex]

I dont do that outside of a very optimized setting. it requires a lot of precision and delaying IR, which i will never do, unless i wont miss an activation.

[@filthycasualgaming9715]

Paladin needs potency buffs... It has the worst self heals that are locked to rotation, causing a lot of overhealing, and wings are very situational and crappy because it locks you in place

[@shiroilu]

how i make my gcd stay 2.5? i leteraly need to not use armor with skill speed?

[@Pixtrix_]

yeah basically

[@Navi_xoo]

All you do is use the 690 boots and 700 choker*. If you want to week 1 with crafted you will probably have to use sks because crafted gear.

[@shiroilu]

got it ty

[@Biyonzo]

how can you lose out on something you wouldnt be able to use anyway?

[@BmoBeemo]

Leave max melee in ex1? My brother take the concussion and earn that extra autoattack, your healers will thank you

[@select20]

To healers, which class feels like THE tank? I get why War is getting so much hate for all the self healing it has.

[@jet44444]

Healer main, i freaking love warriors.

[@lui9688]

One thing that doesn't make sense. All of these jobs get new animations for their attacks. Tanks haven't been updated at all for attack animations. Their basic combo is still the same animations since release of each tank and it's annoying

[@XenosysVex]

I would love to be able to buy new animations off the mog station or earn them in game.

[@power_SERG]

I just want fire effects for the WAR in general.

[@ozmintheobserver]

Can't wait til the drk rant hoo boy looking forward to that steaming hot mess.

[@handlerone5172]

Always pains me to see classes I really like get pooped on.

[@sonartech7721]

Got all the tanks to 100?? Jesus!! I haven’t even finished the MSQ and only am at 97. Damn work, wife, kids, life, going outdoors, etc.

[@woodenmetal2977]

Yeah, all damn those important life things. When you go man mode, the train doesn't stop.

[@Xilibrius]

My biggest issue with Primal Wrath is I hate that it transforms from Inner Release, I get they did this to combat button blots but for me as a controller player I almost always map buff abilities to the dpad so i can hit them quick and even if i have to hit them on the go it isn't as awkward. since it transforms into an attack that i need to weave makes it not as smooth rotation-ally for me. I wish i could map it separately from inner release but I doubt that would solve how i feel about it.

[@XenosysVex]

I wish i could keybind it. i also think that IR should just give it to you instead of this stack garbage

[@Xilibrius]

@@XenosysVex agreed strongly. i know it's probably not the play but if i could just double weave it right off the bat even though that probably wouldn't be the play i could just double tap it and forget it.

[@necrowolf77]

Sure, sure, just go and play House of Torment!!

[@cmcd1989]

peponotes

[@jedahaw]

So Tenacity over Skill Speed?

[@XenosysVex]

@jedahaw depends on how much skillspeed you want. I used to favor a faster gcd when you needed to fight for uptime but through EW I started to favor slower because uptime is pretty much 100%

[@Noxxxiie]

[@TenebrisGladius]

Man i just CAN'T WAIT to see him getting pissed while talking about DRK, Dawntrail made me give up about that shitty ass class that only got worse in the last 3 expansions. TBN, Dark Mind, Dark Missionary, OBLATION, ENHANCED UNMEND, Disesteem with 800 potency and not even a guaranteed crit/dh, took away plunge, took away 2 charges of Blood Weapon so less mp, less blood gauge, abyssal drain still a complete garbage, abyssal drain STILL SHARING CD with Carve and Spit, Shadowstride SUCKS as a gap closer and the only healing that we got is under a 2 whole ass minutes CD - Rampart enhance trait is useless and a joke for DRK, already tried abyssal drain and soul eater with and without it, makes no fucking difference....but you wanna know the worst part? watching all these motherfuckers praising the class as soon as 7.01 drops and some skills get a 10~30 potency dmg buff, fuck this... ...but hey, DRK is fine in raids! i'm full of this shit, gonna level the 3 other tanks and forget this pathetic excuse of a job.

[@MapleLunii]

Storm's Eye is fucking annoying lol

[@nanakixd]

bro WAR is not ok self healing must be remove from WAR its to broken WARs can solo a boss like nothing if that so w bother having healers on party

[@aromenoir9552]

No one cares about dungeon balance (and in fact a good gnb/pld only needs some offgcd heal from times to times and they can also solo all bosses)

[@kalancosta7650]

Go rant about expert dungeons in the official forums. The KZbin comments are for intellectuals. 😏

[@casualduck1580]

It made sense when War did less dps so there was a tradeoff to having the best invuln, partywide and ridiculous sustain. They should just nerf it's dps by a good 8% or something.
