FFXIV: Dawntrail Media Tour: Current Job Changes Overview

[@WeskAlber]

Thank you all for the support and kind words. Make sure you're checking out the content of others and giving them support too! Little details that may have been missed or the different things I never even got to!

[@soundoftruth64]

YOOOO WESK. I cant think of anyone else who deserved to be a part of the media tour more then you. Congrats man.

[@jwmcq]

100%. Wesk is the sensei of a thousand sprouts.

[@samhoppy5527]

Amen 🙏🏻

[@scaldcrowe]

despite everything, physick refuses to die (congrats on the media tour invite!)

[@IKMcGwee]

I'm the ghost of healer support summoners, we're helping! Ooooooo! 👻

[@sleepingparappa]

Physick will outlive us all.

[@redgeoblaze3752]

Physick is more than happy letting me die though.

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

They need to just upgrade it if they want SMN to keep it. Maybe an oGCD AoE panic heal could work? Honestly, I feel that SMN is still a bit half baked and could use a few new things to it. Maybe using 3 new summons during the Phoenix rotation (Maybe go HW and summons those unique summons? Giving access to using Primals from previous expansions?)

[@0chi]

IM GLAD YOU GOT THIS TIMES MEDIA TOUR WESK! CONGRATS!!! YOU DESERVE IT ... you're the first person my friend introduced to me when I was a sprout for class guides! really easy to follow and informative thank you so much for this! LOOKING FORWARD FOR VIPER AND PICTO SOON

[@spirto1279]

At this rate level 110 ninja will feel like high level starcraft with the amount of button presses you have to cram into 20 seconds

[@blanks8851]

And I will love it

[@__Hanasei__Levinus__]

GOD, i full on cream myself when I watch pro players dish out APMs like juggernauts during those old tournaments (especially the ones in Korea or featuring Korean players). But with God again as my witness I swear that I had a mental nosebleed and neurotic breakdown when I try mimicking their habits and decisions out of inspiration when I started sc2 some time ago... man.

[@Zendelxex]

Firstly, congrats on the media tour invite! About time i say! All your 1-X level guides are the best leveling guide out there imo.

[@cosmospalace]

You helped me so much with your job guides when I started the game back in Shadowbringers 4 years ago, I'm so happy you got to participate in this media tour. Congratulations !

[@benpeterson4673]

Seriously a lifesaver when I was getting started. I still go back when I'm going back to another class I haven't played in a while.

[@jamieanderson8308]

You deserved to be on this media tour every bit (if not more) than anyone my dude! Your 1-80/1-90 job guides have been a staple to my FF14 history!!! Congratulations 🥂 and keep it up!

[@vert5807]

So happy to see you got to media tour. Out of all job guides I’ve watched, yours is the best for me to understand. You always explain it in such a way my adhd brain can actually handle ahaha. Thank you for your hard work

[@likagrom6953]

Your guides are really helping me when I am leveling jobs, really glad that you were invited on media tour!

[@TheTidesong]

So proud and happy for you Wesk

[@stoicraziel6272]

☺️ I'm so happy for you to be invited to the media tour. I can hardly think of someone more deserving 🎉🎉🎉

[@ame_no_kenshi]

THE MYTH, THE LEGEND! so deserved that they invited you 👍been watching your guides forever

[@Combo7-y2h]

Just want to add to the chorus of people congratulating you. You've more than earned it. Seeing this made my day, and I'm looking forward to all your DT content.

[@ctrtoken]

As a BLM main - I love these changes. Huge QoL buff overall and it gives us more of the most fun parts of the rotation. I'll miss Ice Paradox, but at the same time we're spending less time in Ice anyway, so it's no big deal.

[@cashman1228]

Sharpcast...is gone... So fire III procs are now completely random outside of manafont. Instead, we get a guaranteed instacast with paradox to refresh the timer in fire phase. It'll be an interesting adjustment. I currently use sharpcast to guarantee an extra fire III to refresh my fire phase timer during movement heavy sections. Looks like I'll be relying on swiftcast and triple more heavily to guarantee I get a flare star in movement heavy sections.

[@MrCharly780]

YES this is the video I needed and you are the perfect grounded dude with knowledge of each job. Thanks!

[@FirithPanda]

RIP Tank Gapclosers. I'll miss you, Rough Divide

[@DevoutSkeptic]

*laughs in 3 charges of Onslaught*

[@dojelnotmyrealname4018]

Why the inconsistency is what I want to know.

[@rexcyjones9416]

Not much of a huge fan on GNB and PLD gap closers. They tend to kill you when used at a wrong timing of mechanic snapshot 😂

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

​@silvergrove8517 this. Damage is so huge that utility is second to it. Fights are mostly designed around that as well, so it makes sense. Idm them making the busy classes not be forced to gap close every burst phase but the less busy ones having to think on it. It adds a smart layer for the slower ones and gives the faster ones a little bit more leeway. Plus, it's a step away from every skill being the same but with different flavors, so that's a huge plus imo

[@iamtorryian]

So happy that you finally accomplished this goal that you have had for so long! Congrats, Wesk!

[@storytellerzeke]

Oh nice. I like the changes on AST, BLM, and RDM. Also excited for MNK and DRG. Looking forward to your Lv 1-100 guides. 😊

[@jackjohnson8305]

YAAAAS MY BOY GOT IN THE TOUR LETS GO!!

[@AGrumpyWitch]

Holy shit congratulations!!! Most useful FFXIV channel by far. So glad to see your hard work pay off.

[@dorisco1]

This is an excellent video. Thank you for taking the time. Much respect for your work in the community.

[@yuukizaki3163]

I haven’t watched any media tour videos until now, it’s Wesk, I have to watch it.

[@melissab6938]

This is such a thorough and concise explanation of the changes! Thank you for putting it together. And congrats, I hope you enjoyed the media tour event

[@sbricksful]

Congratz wesk. Cant wait to listen to your karaoke openers while hitting a dummy for hours on end soon 😊

[@kenallsop7502]

I'm so, so glad you got an invite to the media tour. Super deserved, and this is a great example of why!

[@pokefan5ever]

Congrats Wesk! I just started playing FF14 a year ago (it's also my first MMO) and your videos have helped me SO MUCH in growing from a CNJ sprout to a savage level DRK main in 15 months. Every time I level a job, I use your leveling guides before anything else. I'm so happy you got to be part of the media tour, and can't wait to see your opinions on the BLM and AST changes, as well as future leveling guides.

[@TrueChaoSclx]

didn't think I could be more unhappy with Scholar this expansion but it turns out the mode doesn't just visually, but literally turns us into White Mage lol. God.

[@theiveyed8677]

Making Scholar more like White Mage, and Astro more like Scholar which is more like White Mage :/

[@__Hanasei__Levinus__]

I am now waiting for White Mage to just become full Black Mage that can heal.

[@theiveyed8677]

@@__Hanasei__Levinus__ ok but that sounds cool as hell

[@savagehowler]

So glad you got to go, definitely well deserved

[@akaiYaMa9]

Really was not expecting this video but glad it popped up in my inbox. Really helps to know what job I want to go into DT with by knowing what skills I'm going to get!

[@BionicLatino]

FINALLY! You busted your ass to get that invite and it was long overdue. Congrats.

[@stealthassassin7]

As someone who was set on the path to becoming a better player due to your tutorials and content, I can’t express enough how happy I am that you got in! If there was anyone who deserved an invite to the media tour, it was YOU! I look forward to all your videos on Dawntrail!

[@cordrac]

The best ffxiv creator finally got his deserved spot in the tour yesss I'm gonna tell all my friends

[@vaderglenn]

YOOO CONGRATS, so glad you got invited. You're such a goat for lots of players learning the game.

[@cb3490]

Dear Wesk, I have been rooting for you since our Mognet days. You have always been special and badass and I am so freaking excited to see you had this chance. A proper fuck you to all the people who didn't believe in you and didn't understand just how cool you were. Keep on doing all these amazing things and having fun! A very proud old Mognet friend🎉

[@s4pphi]

24:02 I immediately thought "what are you doing stepbuff?" I am beyond redemption

[@OwlOnFire]

YES WESK 😭😭😭😭 I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. I’m so so happy.

[@pirateFinn]

Well deserved and fantastic video, concise and to the point!

[@Genesisxx]

I'm so, so happy you got the media tour Wesk!! It's well deserved!!!

[@BlaBlaBla-76]

Can't for the new Job videos! 😊

[@SuperLouis64]

I missed out on the HW version of AST but having the cards do unique effects seems like fun to me I can't wait for DW! Thanks for the overview video!!

[@ZeroTwoX2]

Congratulations Wesk!! Well deserved invite! So Awesome!

[@alexalla702]

Congrats! I’m so happy you got to go on the media tour! You absolutely deserve it 🎉🎉🎉

[@Conmuru]

I love that SE shows us the job changes. That way we can decide what to play for the expansion!

[@threegamma]

I'm not the only one saying this but I'm so happy for you that you got to go to the media tour ❤

[@machinaeZER0]

I'm sad about dark knight losing plunge :( and I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the monk update, lol. Definitely looking forward to getting my hands on this soon...

[@cosmokirin]

Finally you made it! So happy for you! Plus as a bonus I get to see all the media tour analysis through the mind of my fav FF creator 😈

[@ProfessM]

You did it mad lad. You made it man! Now lets hear them sweet sweet changes.

[@Someguy26O7]

Congrats!🎉🎉🎉 I am really, really happy seeing your video first for the media tour! Thank you for making my morning drive amazing!!

[@brianbell8382]

Gotta love the Dragonball refences with Monk. The icon for Wind's Reply looks like Goku shooting his Kamehameha Wave at Vegeta after activating Kaioken x4.

[@chrisanderson7820]

I love the fact that WHM is a dash not a gap closer, much more versatile even if its less range or accuracy. I am having trouble visualizing playing with no Sharpcast on BLM.

[@Serataify]

I think more than anything I'm really happy you got invited to the media tour, keep on killing it Wesk!

[@nad613]

Honestly, I saw that there was a media tour going on and immediately checked to see if you were invited because you definitely deserve it after teaching so many people how to play the game.

[@mana-azir6808]

MY MAN GOT TO BE IN THE MEDIA TOUR!!! EYYYY

[@Kitamurasama]

I'm so so so happy you were invited to the media tour ♥

[@stok5445]

This was great! Lots of info that I didn't know Even with how closely I've been following things. I'm excited to jump into DT as WHM.

[@larrykylemoose]

OMG I’m so happy you were invited!!! Most deserving!

[@SubduedRadical]

Amazing you got to do this, Wesk! You completely deserved it - Imposter Syndrome is real, but you are no imposter, no matter how you feel. Fantastic job, man, and well deserved!

[@blackstorm7533]

Ayyyye congrats on the media tour dude!

[@Channel4comments1]

Idc man the undraw joke was funny in the 1-90 video and it was even funnier here! Love you guy

[@Cherryblossoms110]

Woooooo Wesk I'm so happy you got into media tour 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 14:26 Err hopefully I don't ruffle any feathers since you don't like scholar anyways, but I'd disagree there. The passive healing isn't that strong (in fact, it's the same amount as Whispering Dawn), but it's still free passive healing. You don't need to press the GCD heals to have use from it if it means you can save aetherflows, either for DPS or emergency lustrate/indom. More importantly, it doesn't kill the faerie! :D

[@WeskAlber]

On a 3 minute cooldown and only being worth 600-700 potency is pretty weak I'd say. It's not NOTHING, but you have far stronger skills. Like, Sacred Soil even has the same power regen attached.

[@Cherryblossoms110]

@@WeskAlber but muh energy drain!!111

[@jqkm2420]

So glad you were invited, you really deserved it.

[@EstrethAthema]

Black Mage main since day 1 (since I started playing, not the day 1 of the game) and I didn't expect a rework of this extent at all. But I love it and cannot wait to try it when Dawntrail drops.

[@zerostarhx]

You’re the best Wesk I always look forward to your content!

[@Saladrex999]

Very informative, thank you !

[@sirlenemodesto2665]

Glad you got to review dawntrail changes!

[@sidereon9793]

ok I was concerned with Astro and all the cards getting drawn at once, but EVERY card having a unique effect now? beautiful, I dig it, I'm keeping it as my healing main

[@justinadams5964]

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy you made itno the tour.

[@Souplada]

Wesk! I'm glad to see you got to go to the media tour!!! Your leveling guides are amazing. I used to be a shit player and got good because of you. Can't wait to see leveling 100 guides from you! ❤

[@andreadigney6247]

Great video as always. RIP Spineshatter Dive.

[@doombfg2k]

your hard work has finally been reconized ! GG !

[@EclipseHighroller]

Astro is back! The “all cards do essentially the same thing” is what killed Astro for me. I’m so glad the different card effects are back

[@iantaakalla8180]

I love that they removed the card buffing effects just to add them back. I am very sure there were good reasons back into Endwalker, but I am going to enjoy the narrative twisting itself to justify the card empowerment again, or watch it subtly change.

[@hyperionnova2854]

LETS GOOOOOO CONGRATS WESK

[@iaxacs3801]

If I'm reading the Full Metal Machinist tooltip right you still want to reassemble for it because and I quote "Damage Dealt is increased when under an effect that raises critical hit rate or direct hit rate." What I'm hearing is you BS-> Reassemble->FMM-> Wildfire->Chainsaw-> Reassemble->Excavator for the opener, and then can swap to drill or whatever big red button is on cool down for the next reassemble-> FMM. The skill wants you to focus on as big a burst as possible and appears to want to slot into your Wildfire burst phase. edit: changed up rotation slightly

[@WeskAlber]

That means stuff like Battle Litany. Reassemble does not spend on AMERICA, because Reassemble does not have that effect, it just makes the next thing DHC. Not just a semantic difference but a mechanical difference.

[@iaxacs3801]

@@WeskAlber Thank you for the clarification

[@BlueForSureRight]

Thank you for doing this, Wesk.

[@stephbenson7340]

Thank you so much for this, Wesk!

Omg, thanks for pointing out Shapcast! I didn’t see others mention that and it is such a big change for blm main! 😮

[@ShiningSpear]

Whoa, Astro changes look sweet. Definitely gonna dump some time into that when DT hits.

[@raisylvaine8398]

I love how the Tank 30% upgrades all got secondary effects that other tanks already have XD

[@raisylvaine8398]

I love that Astro’s cards have different effects but are still under certain categories, like the healing ones being either a healing increase or a regen

[@TaranTatsuuchi]

I will miss my huton henshin macro.... It did huton and swapped to a 'naked' gearset while the winds were going to have the silhouette visible through the wind before equipping the gear before the winds drop.

[@thesabotagedandovershadowe8423]

Ugh yes this is what i needed. I have wesk brain damage, i swear i dont understand any of the changes people have told me about unless im hearing it in your voice lol then im like ah so thats what they meant

[@Braven-j7m]

still think they should find a way of matching the monks ability cooldowns to their animation length so you can fully appreciate the amazing animations and make thing flow a little better

[@Scyths1]

On paper, I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate the fact that they removed sharp cast as Black Mage. Let's see what a hands on gameplay it gives but the ability to cast so many instants gave away so much leeway for mechanics.

[@JshadowXD94]

LFG Wesk! congrats

[@Steve-cc8zg]

Fantastic breakdown, Wesk. So, I'm already impatient, but is Dragoon going to be your first leveling guide for DT? So, is the consolidation just a way to shorten the time between buffs and actions? Grats on the media invite. You earned it. Thanks again.
