Thanks for defending me, @Rongway! Too much toxicity in these forums but luckily not everyone is like that.

Oh I see what you mean, it's like the potency numbers changing depending on your...

Yes, absolutely! I know green has been associated with SMN in past games, but it's so annoying, nothing about SCH is blue, skills are either green/red or other random colours. Adding that to the...

Second Wind is fine. If you want more self-healing you can use Bloodoath or potions. DPS roles shouldn't be able to heal substantially, this is the role of healers, so it works as intended.

Summoner has been a mess since the rework and its skill list has not been properly updated. Compare the action listed on the official website https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/summoner/ with...

-Healing is more fun than in other MMOs I tried
-Story and music are great
-I love the concept of joining class guilds and doing their questlines.
-I am obsessed with building my squadron however...

Scholar is a great concept, but the class lacks a thematic or visual identity and is too messy.

Thematically, scholar is juggling too many conflicting themes: An arcanist, a combat healer, a...

Does MT/OT mean main tank and off-tank? how do they play differently in FFXIV? (I have no experience with tanking here).

In general yeah, the priority of all games is on DPS, because that's what...

ikr, a wall of text just pops up to block an encounter that will last 2 min at worst

Thanks for the detailed responses! Very enlightening.

What I see is that some people don't enjoy playing healer because they find it boring or unfun. I don't understand why anyone would force themselves to play something they find boring or unfun. This...

I am curious to see what aspects/elements are associated with each job. This helps better understand not only job lore, but also the aspects themselves. I've only played mage classes, so I can tell...

I agree fully with your points. I think the issue arises when some people play only specific classes, and feel excluded from particular content. They start complaining that healer X can do Y while...

Haha that's actually a great way of looking at it.

But guys, if you want complex dps rotations why don't you play... dps classes? SMN and RDM have off-heals and rez, they would be ideal for what you want, no? Don't forget that a lot of people play...

These quests have mechanical and meta reasons to be there, mostly to introduce core mechanics or familiarize you with new maps, but often very little integration to lore and story-telling. For...

Makes sense, thanks for explaining!

Yeah I found it a little weird that Summoner ends up in Gridania, but they probably wanted a change of pace for arcanists, since ACN and SCH jobs are in LL...

It's true though, healers can't have complex dps rotation because it isn't their role to do that... if healers are bored devs can remove the power-creep, which will require more healing to be done -...

While I agree it's great for healers (or any class) to have different identities, it's difficult in practice to differentiate too much. Being different means having different strengths and...

Yeah the pop up is kinda annoying... all details are in the duty finder anyway

I can see that most of the newer jobs start or unfold in Ul'dah. Even BLU, which starts in LL takes you to Ul'dah right away. In comparison, LL gets a couple of jobs, and Gridania gets only one. Is...

I know this has been discussed many times, but the MSQ between levels 20-44 are really bad and need rework. (Spoilers ahead)

ARR MSQ is pretty epic and fun at the beginning (<level 20) and the end...

It's weird why they removed differences between the two fairies in the first place.
