Quick and Dirty - How to DPS in FFXIV

[NeoAmon]

Very good basic BLM guide. I would argue Mega INT and Mega Either (players picks one) should be there added to the list, they are both core on BLM (pick one). I would also suggest adding more information on Thunder. II is not always better than III/I.

As for the BiS, while I do agree with it and it is what I use, others would say SS BiS is better. They are not wrong and it should be added as a second option for BiS.

How to DPS in 14? That's an easy one to answer.. you drop the mobs hp to zero before yours hits the same number.

Your monk guide has the forms mixed up. Oppo-oppo is bootshine/arms of the destroyer/dragon kick. Raptor is Twin Snake/True Strike/One Ilm Punch. Coeurl is Snap Punch/Demolish/Rockbreaker. It leads to Greased Lightning info being wrong as well, it comes with Coeurl forms. You also don't need to finish the rotation to keep the timer, as long as there is less than 6 seconds of interruption, it'll be kept up. It's a good basic guide to monk but.... sometimes you have to mix it up. Considering... True Strike is 190 potency, I'd spam that instead of Bootshine.

BS has higher potency than TS considering it crits 100% from behind. Now if you crit with TS then yeah it has higher potency, however, how many times do you crit with TS while using PB?

I think this is a nice guide for some people to get comfortable with their class, especially when playing mutiple jobs.

This.
Bootshine will always crit under perfect balance which is a sure 225 potency hit while True Strike hits for 190 potency with a chance to crit.

One thing I find these guidess don't cover for DoM, especially BLM is sprint. It's extremely useful and can add quite a lot of DPS in movement intensive fights. In my opinion Aetherial Manipulation is great and everything but nowhere near as useful as sprint, yet I rarely see DoM using it. It can even be a game changer on fights like Ash, especially if you forget his floor rotation or something.

I alway pop IR, B4B, then PB and spam 4 TS and 1 Demo. my TS usually crit 2-4 time depend on my luck.

Why is Quick Nock the go to AoE skill for BRD?

Edit: Serious question. I am curious as to why this is.

Why is Quick Nook the go to AoE skill for BRD?

Edit: Serious question. I am curious as to why this is.

I am going to say due to the TP requirement and dps. It has the lowest TP requirement but the best dps of the 3 AOEs bard gets. That said, wide volley can proc rain of death free for 20 more tp.

Wide Volley and Quick Nock have the same potency, so the dps is the same. I understand that Wide Volley uses more TP, but it can also proc a free Rain Of Death, which can then proc a free Quick Nock. I always use Wide Volley until a Rain Of Death proc, and use Quick Nock only when Rain Of Death procs it. I'm not saying that I'm right, or my way is better. I am genuinely interested in an explanation, as I am always looking for ways to improve.
