Hacking Ranking

Good post! I smile hearing about the success your friends have had with your advice. I also hope more people are able to achieve higher ranking, hopefully Diamond or better! It's important to share and be remembered by helping someone in any small way.

2. Do not die.

Limit break charges based on time spent alive.

4. Play a rush down job with fast charging limit break.

These are two really interesting points to consider. I agree that not dying, just to be a presence on the battlefield, is incredibly valuable. Killing an opponent with a long limit break charge while having a low limit break charge time yourself is potentially a huge advantage. Perhaps it allows 2 limit breaks to 1 instead of 1.5 to 1 at natural charge rates. Food for thought. I don't think slow limit break charge is enough of a reason not to play any job one really likes, though. I believe any job is viable.

For sure. I just think jobs like WHM, MNK, GNB, RPR will open up more opportunities for you to swing games as you start improving. Another honorable mention would be jobs with party-wide knockback/draw in effects as they offer huge swing potential in overtime matches. Think for example the scenario of your team being down in overtime, enemy has already pushed 50% and you have to push 50% and clear the checkpoint to get 50.1%. During a stalemate at that 50% mark on the enemy side, well placed MCH knockbacks, SMN draw-ins, DRK draw-ins, RPR LB, DNC LB can constantly get them off of the crystal allowing you to slowly make progress over time by having more players on the point... or just outright end the match.
