I'm so sorry for my dragoon disrespect 😞 I must learn to jump gooder

[@jamesderbutler]

Don't worry, you too will soon learn how to "High Jump" :P Love your videos btw!

[@Liffeh]

I'll let it slide this time..

[@Blitzwaffen]

@@Liffeh He did call it a Crap guide...

[@TintagelEmrys]

"Just walk into the AOE," spoken like a true dragoon

[@Liffeh]

OK BUT I DIDN'T SAY DIE TO THE AOE!!

[@LightbladeRiulo]

@@Liffeh SAYS THE MAN WHO DISSES THE THROW STICK BUTTON! YEET!

[@Liffeh]

@@LightbladeRiulo listen, NOW your ranged attack DOESN'T BREAK YOUR COMBO.. so NOW it's actually okay to use it when you absolutely need to run away from the boss!! pre-endwalker it was genuinely a dps loss to use the throw stick button sadge

[@LightbladeRiulo]

@@Liffeh I went from throwing sticks to throwing Axes and spamming Fell Cleave! I can’t heaaaar yoooou! Y E E T!

[@SniperKing-O]

As a former Samurai, I would stay in the AoE and keep attacking till the last second, lol! I miss doing that. xD

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

Huh, a Samurai getting insta-gibbed by avoidable damage and screaming "Where were the heals!?" Now WHERE have I seen that before? XD

[@PsychoDiesel48]

HMMMMMMM!!!! XD

[@shenronblacksmoke2217]

Genji from Overwatch 🤜🤛 Samurai Mains in FFXIV

[@PhantomFenrir]

"Just walk into the AOE and leave before it goes of." This is why I play a Ranged

[@LukasJampen]

Yeah running around while still doing the same amount of damage is pretty sweet.

[@JetEriksen]

"Look, half the fun about playing a DPS is you push it. You dance along the line of life and death." You say this like you shouldn't do this on every class. Greed that extra Glare cast, get that last GCD in as Paladin.

[@liricopetanco6257]

Then die and ress with a dunce cap off shame for not doing the mecanics... GG

[@JetEriksen]

@@liricopetanco6257 i never said dont do mechanics. I merely said pushing it to the limit and barely dodging things to do more damage is *very* exciting.

[@rawkitmanfgc7735]

Cinder Drift EX, Im tanking. My drg is whoopin on Ruby all the way up to the moment it dashes at which point he Elusives to safety. That is the most beautiful greed.

[@Scien]

1:17 i didnt notice the kougaon until this watch through lmao

[@Liffeh]

LMFAOOOOO

[@ShiroNekoDen]

Astro has longer tooltips because the abilities change based on the sect stance (luckily this is changed in endwalker)

[@omikun17]

Now I'm going to have to ask if you'll react Jocat's new video on Melee DPS. Because he mentions what you say about just walking into the AoE.

[@dacomputernerd4096]

As a black mage main, scathe is useful. See, the purpose is to finish off bosses with it, to disrespect the boss because they're not even worth a real spell lol

[@jaydenlobbe7911]

You really shouldn't just walk into an AoE and potentially take avoidable damage just because you don't want to lose DPS by using your Ranged Skills, because you're probably going to get yourself killed, and dying is the greatest DPS Loss

[@Kuronosa]

Be a Bard or Dancer, whose Combos are mostly RNG reliant.....It's fun!

[@MaindexOmega]

PIERCING TALON NO LONGER BREAKS COMBOS, HELL YEAH

[@It_sSophiaUwU]

What if the aoe is vertical so you can't avoid it by staying off of the ground?

[@EnoguHaruki]

Bruh i main drg and piercing talon is actually good for extra dps when needed. Just arrange your hotbar so you wont use it accidentaly with your normal rotation. I use it with my greeds after backing out of the aoe if i have spineshatter on cooldown so i could keep hitting the boss when im omw to him. Like sure in early content its useless but with things like edenverse which drinks up all your gap closers it sure is very usable.

[@Liffeh]

Piercing Talon is understandable to use in cases where you're forced to step out of melee range, the unfortunate part is as it stands it'll interrupt your combo if you're in the middle of it, and will actually result in a dps loss overall. HOWEVER, I think Dawntrail is going to be changing how it functions and making it NOT break your combo anymore! As it stands, I don't think there's too many instances of being forced outside of the bosses hitbox to maintain as much melee uptime as possible. Even then, the situations you might if you look into the raw potency gain/loss between using a GCD of Talon vs just waiting to get into melee range to continue your combo might not be worth using the ranged GCD. So yeah, in a few weeks Piercing Talon will result in you being able to keep your combo going in the moments your forced to step out of melee range from the boss for an extended period, and that'll make it so at least if these scenarios DO happen, we can keep everything rolling smoothly with minimal loss.

[@EnoguHaruki]

@@Liffeh its weird im literally testing it right now it doesnt break the combo just ad more to the gcd but its better then staying in the aoe (like not the greed stay but the stay stay ) im not saying you should always spam it but it is coming in handy more often than not especially when the high jump is on cool down and thats your only option without getting the cheezpuff or breaking the combo. Id say its better than zero dps always. But yeah pretty sure you dont need to wait for downtrail it doesnt break the combo, however if you use a controller sometimes the crossbar mapping can fuck up the combo if not careful since target button is x but x+r2/l2 is an action assigned.

[@EnoguHaruki]

Also- some bosses in the game dosent give you vulnerability but a worse fate- damage down and with those especially on savage or extremes i just tend to not risk it and if i know its a damage down ability youd bet your ass im backing out of that orange aoe way faster than usual 😂

[@Liffeh]

@@EnoguHaruki oh yeah! I do notice that now it doesn't break the combo, perhaps this video was posted at a time it did, I'm not sure when/if it was changed, I haven't played DRG outside of level 70 ultimates in a long time honestly, and for everything else I've been playing Reaper so I've never had that issue. But yeah, if you need to use it then surely doing something is going to be more than zero, but if you can avoid using it and do your normal combos that'll always lead to more damage. With experience in fights you'll get an understanding of what you can and can't greed, and while yeah a damage down sucks, getting an understanding of the timing of things will help you get better so you can keep as much uptime as possible!!

[@zylpher]

legit question that im gonna google anyway, but wtf is double weaving? been playing FF14 for a bit and never heard anyone say it, unless they did but I was too busy being a floor tank to notice

[@fernando5819]

People who want to be good at the game just read what their skills do, look for videos like this one, learn the rotation of their jobs and practice anything they are willing to improve (specific fights, reaching their limit and so on), eventually getting better with time. There are lots of people who don't want to improve (also the game doesn't force then to improve most of the time so they are fine with being an average player) and there is nothing wrong with that as long as they don't queue to harder content that people expect then to at least know how their job works at a decent level.

[@JetEriksen]

Sadly a lot of the time people expect you to just press one damage button over and over on a healer. But somehow doing that is considered hardcore optimization.

[@fernando5819]

@@JetEriksen Optimization on this game is about using your entire job kit to its full potential, for healers that means that less healing spells you need to use to keep your team alive the better (because you can use that time to dps and clear things faster). What happens to healers is that some times they get lots of skills to use for heal as they get higher level and they just don't use then (hold most only for emergencies), when they should rotate most of their oGCDs kinda like a tank rotate defensive cooldowns and use their global cooldown healing on emergencies, the higher your level is the less you need to use gcd heals so that equals more time to spam your damage button. Most content on this game don't demand the healer to keep spamming heals all the time so when your party is safe you are more useful spamming that damage button. TLDR: Spamming heals and still let people die = bad Spamming damage and letting tank die = also bad Spamming heals and no one dies = average (better than those 2 above) Spamming damage and keeping everyone alive with enough heals = good

[@kitapayne1952]

just wanted tpo say, i love your avatar, but i can barely hear you over the video, if you could try boosting your mic or turning down the video volume a bit?

[@ecchidragon8038]

Ready your tool tips, Liffeh... just... read them -_-

[@MegaLpso]

YES! the tool tips! I was talking to my brother about this a week ago and how i was annoyed from the tool tips because it has too much words and too much information that isn't really needed. Using tons of words does not make you look smart! its making my brain hurt and i dont know what's going on when im using dark knight!

[@geoshark12]

The thing may also be the game is translated

[@HyouVizer]

6:32 YEP the action info is so awful lol. Earthly Stat revised: 60s cooldown, Ability. Place ground aoe target, lasts for 10 seconds. Click ability to deal 205 damage potency/540 heal potency all enemies/party members in it. After those 10 seconds, reset duration; increases dmg & heal potency to 310 & 720. End of duration, this ability goes off automatically. They waste so much text giving names to one off buffs within the ability itself like "Eartly Domination" Daddy Dom Nature buff coming, summit to "Stellar Detonation" in your ass, just what the fuck keep it simple geez.

[@megabob40]

Dude, I agree with the tool tips thing. Some of them remind me of current yugioh cards with their wall of unnecessary text.

[@Ironcam1337]

Healers are called healers not damagers smh 😤😤😤

[@liricopetanco6257]

You are a green dps, you have no excuse for not doing dps
