Everyone who plays XIV needs to see this ^

This is how stuff should be done. I'm sure a lot of us are tired of ragequitters after 1 mistake/wipe or people who assume if a single person leaves, that the pt is dead. Believe it or not, you can replace people. I've had so many parties where we could actually win, since people are catching on and making less mistakes, then all of a sudden, one person just leaves, then the entire pt does :/

Semi-related, but those people who join a farming run and leave after 1 run lol

Players and bosses have the stats yes, but they are all set to "1", 1.1 with that behemoth ring that tries to be a very poor mans D. Ring from FFXI.

I know what you mean i really hate that when it happens. All it takes is for one person to leave after 1 wipe or ragequit and then suddenly a few people start to lose hope and leave.

I think the initial reason is stupid.
If you fight Ifrit, nobody will bring a WHM over a BLM to DPS...
And since I doubt monster will have multiple elemental resistance, with 3 several lines of spells, nukers will always be useful.

It's not that they'd bring a WHM it's that they WOULDN'T bring the BLM because none of their most damaging spells would work against Ifrit. a BLM spamming Blizzard spells and Freeze would be doing very poor DPS. Just because we can level everything doesn't mean everyone wants to btw and just because you have the job at 50 doesn't mean you've geared it out. Your i78 BLM isn't going to be able to get into that i90 min PF your i95 DRG can. The flavor of the month bullcrap from FFXI should not start reappearing in XIV. I had multiple capped jobs in FFXI yet because of the jobs I chose to level I was relegated to BRD most of the time even though DRG and BLU were my bread and butter.

I think they could at least make the summoner's pet resist stuff based on their element. So vs Ifrit it would be better with say Ifrit himself to take less damage from fire, or leviathan when he is added. You don't need to do more damage to choose something, it just has to have a benefit.

But I guess they worry for all those party finder people who'd make a 8 SMN group and kill Titan Ex with 8 titan-egis. Because such things happen so often.

Exactly. we need to meld separate sets of elemental gear for every boss encounter! LETS GET CRAFTING!

Still, with everything already set in stone, it would be a massive undertaking to change at this point, so whatever. Hopefully we can get a Job which deals with the elemental wheel at some point in the future, similar to how Ninja worked in XI.

I don't find it odd. I hate leveling other classes, if I'm required to have a bunch of 50s then I'm not going to play this game.

I always had a theory (that with the lore) that due to Bahamut causing the Calamity, the aether went all out of whack and the elements were negated. Which is why the "elementals" from 1.0 turned into the pure energy and lost their fairy-like physical form (pure energy form just like what they looked like in FFXI).

You will end up quitting this game when they add the ability to have something like a sub job to this game.
