Does movement give you any stat improvement in battle?

[CharIie]

I was wondering, back when I used to play Aion; they had a system in where when you moved forward you would get a bonus on the offense, backward would give a defense, and sides would help with dodge.
My question is; does FFXIV has any mechanics such as this one?

P.S. I started FF like a month ago, and I’m in love with the game!

Not as much as improvement if anything certain actions when positioned do give some advantage. Check out the Job guide and see certain jobs have actions that give more damage. Some examples; DRG and MNK

Some roles like monk do more damage if from the side or rear of the enemy. They have what are called positionals. I don't know of any for movement per se.

MNK & DRG have several abilities that increases potency when performed from a certain direction (flank or back).

I haven't played NiN yet but I think they have too?

Wow! I didn't really expected a reply. Amazing! Thank you guys.

So, do you know, for any chance, if BRD has those? (ManuelBravo, thanks, i will check the job guides out).

Also, another question, just to double check. After getting the Ironworks set, is there another set that would give the same boost, or should i just wait for level 60 equipment?

Thanks, guys!

if you have the Augmented version can carry you to 55-57 ish you can use dungeon gear or craft. Then go for Augmented shire gear or event gear in wolfes den. will carry you to 65, then dungeon gear again to 69 and go for high end tome gear or raid gear. IF you have current relic weapon, maxed out should cary you to 65-67

[CharIie]

Amazing, thanks. I will start the investigation for that Shire Gear.

The only jobs that have positionals are melees DPS: MNK, DRG, NIN and SAM. Other than that, no other job has them.

Bards don't have any positional but there is a "sweet spot" distance wise where you do more damage. I believe it's between 10 and 15 yalms. Practice with a striking dummy to get a feel for it but you will do slightly more damage than you would if you were closer/ farther than that.
