So, when is VPR getting nerfs? (Frontline)

You know you can see what jobs the enemy team are, right?

Hi random person, the title of the post was (Frontline) and the message i replied to was "why do people attack the nearest target?"

Yup, in the blink of an eye with my incredible photographic memory i take a mental snapshot of the 50 enemy players and the 3 by 3 pixel sized icon next to their name since the anyone can wear anything update, and then i keep a mental log of every single players name and role, so that when i stop dead in my tracks to use my left thumb on the left d-pad to cycle through the 50 enemies left to right or right to left, i can target that 1 healer in the middle backline out of range for all my abilities while i mockingly laugh very loudly at all my noob teammates shooting the stunlocked viper. Must be bring your bronze rank bestie to work day am i right?

Hello random person,

It seems like you could benefit from a refresher on how to properly use your controller targeting in FF14
Here’s a guide that might help you get started:

lets all agree going against a viper is about as fun as going against a daredevil or blade in rivals. They get too much value for an incredibly low skill ceiling. Their skill ceiling is pressing the OMNISKILL button when they expect to be hit, while every other class uses purify/guard in that scenario making them vulnerable to diving. They have glass cannon damage numbers with the self sustain of the best brawler tanks plus they still have the default survival defense options on top of all that afterwards meaning they can just buttonmash a rotation you would expect only a raid boss to have access to.

Some melee dps get to dive into a 1v50 and win, some melee dps get stunlocked and die in a 1v3. And its not like the 1v50 class is out of their element in smallscale either.

I’m not babysitting a random poster with a mocking attitude who’s making baseless claims.
If you actually want to learn how to use controller targeting in FF14, search YouTube yourself
You clearly need help understanding it.

Mmmh. Maybe bookmark this one: https://youtubetoolkit.com/tools/link-viewer

Or is that a bit too 3rd party tool? Apart from a questionable fashion sense, looks pretty legit to me from the thumbnail.

Fun fact: I know how to use controller targeting. Theres entire forums of people who run ultimates and high rank pvp with controller and you know what everyone agrees on? Its really bad. For example, to PvP i have to turn the auto run function off because left bumper is keybound to autorun and also target select in my raid menu. I also have to swap my command menu button, jump and select because if i use right/left trigger + X to use an ability on a "closest target" that i did not fully lock on to with an extra A click, it will open a menu trying to trade follow or inspect that enemy ignoring trigger inputs only receiving X input.

I can target either using the center of my screen with A, i can target cycle, or i can use an ability near someone and hope it targets the guy 2 feet away in front of me with 1 hp, but for some reason unless im locked on it will meteodrive a full hp guy not even on my screen. Its really bad. My limited crossbar has room for 1 of every pvp skill, a mark target/callout macro, and a mount/sprint. Yes i am aware i can move my screen to have a target on the left or right edge and then cycle from left or right but in a team of 20 it might save 5 clicks while losing FOV of half the battle to target cycle.

Now tell me you dont care and prove your youtube link was to insult and not help anyone

The gnath would like to know your location.

lol you can whine all you like. i play on controller too. its not that hard. "track who is healing" every player roll is clearly indicated. you can focus target people. you can use in-game macro to target your focus to quickly get back to them. hell, you could set up a macro to LB your focus target, so you dont even need to target them first. the tools are there.

as for viper. it's problematic in FL but, if people would get off ranged and start fighting melee with melee. monk gets 50% damage reduction in FL. earth's reply for quick healing. you can wind's reply vipers (and dancers. and dark knights) who are running in. you can LB them to disrupt. its not impossible

Is this discussion about PvE Ultimate or PvP CC?
Regardless, your struggles with controller targeting do not support your wild claim that every PC player is using addons.
I use a controller on both PC and PS5, and I do not have the targeting problems you described.

Also, I am not here to babysit random posters throwing around mockery and sarcasm.
