Except they have top dps most of the time though. It’s true about mentors kinda skip mechanics and not knowing how to teach ppl. It’s why this is like meme sort of.

it was my first dungeon first time tanking in ff14 and healer mentor literally told me " you won't die with me here" took the anxiety away the whole dungeon was a blast, I main tank won't change ever....EVER!

[@kzorander8577]

I'm not a mentor but I definitely told that to a new tank in Antitower. I was on my fifth run for memories and we got a first-timer. Nothing hits hard in that dungeon, so I told him to stretch his legs and see how far he could go, and I'd absolutely keep him off the floor. It worked! I wish someone had encouraged me that way when I was a sproglet tank.

[@JustRightWill]

As a mentor I provide no information for stuff until we've at least wiped once. Some people appreciate going in blind and I don't want to ruin that for them. Also I try to give helpful advice after we complete whatever we're doing (Too many times have I been told it's their alt or I don't pay their sub T_T)

[@Reinforce_Zwei]

REEEEE "u dun pay mah sub, i can use blizzard3 as my main damage if I want". I personally dislike how easy it is to "Qualify" for mentor status

[@lemonmart7793]

Thank you! There’s nothing I hate more than loading into a dungeon, seeing the cutscene for the first time and then coming out to all the mechanics spoiled in chat... no wonder ppl can’t blind prog raids they never get any practice

[@southpawYT]

it helps to ask if the person wants some friendly advice before you give it.

[@TheKa89]

Thank you for waiting after to give advice, or just not in the middle of a fight. Even if they're keyboard shy, it means a lot. The first time I ever had to give advice was the vault boss fight, as a monk of all things. Felt extremely uncomfortable at first, because I was waiting for someone to screech out that I wasn't a mentor, the tank, the healer, etc. Instead we wiped twice and I just asked if we needed to review the last fight. I was surprised how receptive everyone was. I try to be forgiving when I play as a tank now, especially if someone is really trying and eventually stops running around to ask for help. Usually makes the healer and others mad at me for not pulling as much, but I'd rather not cowabunga on someone learning and actually paying attention.

[@Luna-ii4mx]

Ye I had the same thing happen, im a sprout and we were doing Ifrit extreme and I told them the tacts and we wiped like 3 times cause of one healer who kept staying in melee and I told him to move away from people and people were raging at me and the healer said «u dunt pay my thub» so stupid. My first negative experience in FFXIV. Why do people even do extreme if they dont wanna learn the damn tacts, and to the healer who said you dont pay my sub, do you pay my sub? Do you pay everyones sub in the team whos time youre wasting?

[@Dyvinell]

Im pretty sure this video is less of showing off that larry is a mentor and more of showing off all his UCoB weapons xD

[@lordcorgi6481]

"What level am I, 60? Oh good, I have Enochian, thank god" I felt that.

[@fycat]

"I feel so special! He thinks I know what I'm doing!" As a mentor this is entirely too accurate.

[@IdrilElessar]

I was doing titan extreme a few days ago. We were all sprouts. We wiped a lot. Someone left then a mentor came. Explained the mechanics. We actually killed it

Unfortunate that there are mentors who make it worse for people who actually want to be mentors and help people. I have FC mates who are actual mentors and like helping people but then just get to see people talk shit about mentors.

[@Reinforce_Zwei]

Unfortunately there was a large influx of players with the attitude of "u dun pay my sub, i no listen to good mentor advice" many years ago, so most mentors got the attitude that if the little shit sprouts aren't going to listen, why should we try. The worst is when someone "explains" a mechanic completely wrong, you correct them and then they go off on one about "toxic mentors". I've personally set myself to trade mentor because I CBA with the attitude of ice mages, no-stance tanks and no-dot bards.
