Slight correction: if a Monk has a purple circle and a white circle, it doesn't matter what their next Perfect Balance combo is, it's guaranteed big boi damage
I never know what to do for that last one, so I just do the dragon kick/bootshine/dragon kick thing you do for the first one unless I need to refresh disciplined fist
If you want to do max fisting capability: Have both purple and white balls, pop riddle of fire and brotherhood, make sure you have leaden fist and disciplined fist buffs from dragon kick and twin snakes respectively, pop perfect balance, and shove that fist where the sun don't shine with bootshine -> dragon kick -> bootshine -> phantom rush (tornado kick pre-90). Guaranteed crit for 310 potency -> 320 -> 310 crit -> 1,150 (850 pre-90)
Okay, I thought Jo had pulled out all the stops when he animated an entire Samurai Showdown match just to make a punchline, but then he dropped _Spooky Slice_ on us and won some kind of argument against the dark lords of the YubTub algorithm. 12/10 Dated but Timeless music reference.
Hint for Monks: You can still Meditate when your enemies are out of reach, which lets you get your Free Damage Button back, so it's worth doing for a bigger burst when you reengage
There's a part where he's explaining positionals and shows a split screen of the same attack with and without the positional bonus. It's like a 2-second clip that had to have taken at least 20 minutes to make on its own. The effort is astronomical.
"Don't lie, I know most of my audience has depression." I'm literally watching this the day you released it, and the past two days have been in my annual 'Tear apart the room and put it together again' phase. You didn't have to call me out so specifically LOL. But t was 100% correct. A++! Love the content!
It always trips me out hearing you’re name on videos like this. Every single time I’m like “holy crap I know that guy! I was in an FC with him years ago.” Pretty sure you’re still on my friends like too lol. Minwu/Synnove (which ever name you remember me as) out.
Love that tidbit at the end where u can see he's adding to his collection of job type symbols. Shield for Tank, Cane for Healers, and now a spear for melee DPS
@@gryphonstern Yeah, objectively one of the best is for his D&D Crap Guides solely because the figures themselves slowly tell a bit of a story as it goes on! It isn't deep, nor wild, but its cute all the same. Plus its just more JoCat drawing, which is always a plus.
@@olakpasa6486 if you’re interested, try the free trial first. It covers a large amount of content (the original release and the first expansion) before you need to spend anything on a subscription.
Reaper doesn't so much as have a 'burst phase' as 'slowly ramping up in damage as your go on' but popping Enshroud then capping it off with Communio is an incredible feeling I thought Reaper would be lame. I was wrong.
Funfact each episode of every crap guide he does he adds a new thing depending on the class / whatever he just talking about if you look at 1:55 there with be just a staff (healer) and a shield ( tank ) but if you look at the end ( I’m not providing a time stamp ) then it will also ahve a melee weapon spear thing
The best place around "boss boob" for melee is to stand around what could be described as "underboob" which is the spot where sideboob crosses over to rearboob. You can hop between the two spots with minimal movement while getting the most satisfaction out from the positionals.
I love Cardio Tanks! I did a run today where I, as the healer, kept running and was tanking the 2nd pack. The tank turned off the tank stance, but Holy medica 2, holy, regen and benison, and then holy spam and dps aoe … he turned his tank stance back on before the boss. I’m a cardio healer for sure!
Only a few words to put the fear of god into any healer, myself included, Il Mheg, a w2w pull tank, the Palace pack pull with the pony.... The only word I put in chat every time I get to that point is "MORE!", cardio healing is so much fun.
@@macurvello Oh, I kept up, he just had paper on for armor and didn't know, or ask, where he was going. He didn't use chat at all or respond to any of us, and he died when mobs larger than 5 sneezed on him. The DPS (both of them) wound up tanking and doing a better job. But, I guess that's the fault of the rest of the group then, and not the tank? Trust me. This guy sticks out in my memory for a reason.
Its official, this man’s “Crap guides” has gotten me into every game he has covered in this series (Monster hunter, DnD and now Final Fantasy 14). And it is to these guides that I am in his deat as they have helped me become a better player in those games.
"A dot that lasts longer than it takes to clean your room. Don't lie to me; I know a majority of my audience has depression" what the fuck man why did you have to come for us all like that
The bard energy Jocat has is just out of this word. A part of me just wonders what sort of Broadway style piece he and Sam Rigel could do together. XD XD XD
It has now become official, ANYTIME Estinien shows up, I always scream "ESTINIEEEEEEN! He's the Azure Dragoon!" Thank you for that!!! Also, when you get a chance, I hope you do more of these crap guides to FFXIV, they’re so helpful for a nooblet like me!
Not my main, but play it often. This will be stuck in my head every time I play it as well lol. Just like I can't do weapons without thinking of big fat tacos.
"Don't lie to me, I know most of my audience has depression." Okay, first of all, how dare. Second of all, I'd love a full version of the Spooky Slice.
I was WONDERING when the Estinien button would show up! And there it is. Your crap guides never disappoint - might actually roll a melee DPS when I get back into FFXIV...
Tip for Dragoons: Though it is rare always look underneath where the boss likes to hangout. Are they floating above nothing? Yes? Don't use moves that involving jumping the boss. You'll be enjoying an impromptu skydiving session without a parachute. If you would like an example, the Ozma fight from the Weeping City of Mhach is probably the best example.
Basically everyone with a gap closer. What are gap closers, you ask? It's a move that let's you approach the enemy faster than a JoJo slapfest when they try to get some space to breathe
Except that the hitbox is big enough that it reaches the platform. Gap closers and such move you to the part of the ring that's closest to you, otherwise people would die all the time with bosses such as Ozma.
Great video, Jocat! I love how accurately you actually managed to condense and explain the gameplay of each of the represented jobs, all while keeping it entertaining with the heavy sprinkling of top-quality jokes we've come to expect from ya! ^^

@@Kromosios well the game is like... Two gta5's worth of data at this point to download. I can see someone with only a 10gb dsl connection taking 24hr to download.

Everybody talking about spooky slice and the depression comment, but no one is gonna bring up how accurate it is that he brought up the horny bat while showing a portrait of the admiral? Don't lie I've read the forums.
@JoCat didn't know you could top the 3 role crap guides... but here we are! tnx! one thing tho: the final attack the monks get when having both light and dark and doing the combo a 3rd time regardless of what stances you use is "Phantom Rush". the one where your char quickly teleports in from all angles on the target, assaulting them from all sides. the kick in the face is done when you do two of the same and a different 3rd stance, and gets you a "purple token" (IF you don't have both already, otherwise it's also a Phantom Rush)
I’ve been interested in FFXIV for a long while but it was this series that pushed me to play the game and it has been one of the best experiences of my life, so thank you so much JoCat you’re the best 😤😤❤️
I want to get into it but I straight up cannot justify a monthly subscription for a video game, especially since I live in a part of the world where $15 = two weeks of food
Just when I thought these videos couldn't get any better, you put this one up. AND totally blow the last ones out of the water! Amazing work, love it!!
Every time I watch a JoCat video I think "this is a great video". Then he drops somehting like the Samurai szene or the Spooky Slice and things go from great to amazing! He didn't have to go this hard. But he did it anyway.
I love how ninja has those cool places to pose while looking down at everyone in their story. Doing that while wearing the Zero armor from the Garo series is better, even as a Hrothgar.
Ikr? I made my male Miqo'te look as adorable as I could so when I saw him during those cut scenes (especially with the flute music in the background) he looks so... menacingly cute.
If I had the money, I'd throw it at you like a drunk man throws 1's at strippers, these videos are amazing. The realization that there's still the ranged dps to go through, and potentially each individual job, makes me happier than a pig in shit. The quality gets better with each one, and the songs are *chefs' kiss*. Please never stop making these JoCat.
2:35: I legit laughed+coughed so hard at those first two lines (because I main Healer and GOD is it true), oh man. Great stuff as always. That said, a lot more focused on the jobs this time around. That was a whole thing on each job. Not saying it like it's a bad thing, just a lot more in-depth from the Tank/Healer/"DPS" videos.
@@laschicvalisca2481 im pretty sure they are berried underneath the center of the bosses AOEs and you can only uncover them by digging while the AOE is active.
YES ! Thank you JoCat, finally someone telling the easy secret of ninja's ninjutsu to the rest of the world ! And another excellent guide to giving healers a heart attack, good work :3
This was by far one of the funniest of your ff14 series. I was in a puddle crying for spongebob hanging 5 feet from death and when the skill floor police almost caught you🤣💀
Absolutely amazing, the sheer amount of work and polish that went into this really shows. I was already loving it at just the Lunarcon bit, but wanted to wait to post until I'd finished it. XD Oh gosh, each class was so good.
5:49 Small correction on the Phantom Rush combo: It can be whatever attacks you want. Even those with the same forms. And ideally, you'll want to be doing Dragon Kick and Bootshine for this combo because the guaranteed Crit helps you deal more damage by average.
I love these following Lyrics written by you! So lore accurate and clever! From the northern snow fronts of Ilsabard, The land is cold, and the people scarred. They sought the void with a daring act, And howled themselves with a devious pact. You do the Slice, The Spoooky Slice! You do the Slice! Now your swings have some spice! You do the Slice! You do the Spooky Slice! You do the Slice, It's just your soul that suffice!"
Additionally, each of these (except samurai) bring some manner of utility/party buff. Monk has mantra which boosts heals for the whole party and brotherhood that increases everyone’s damage. Ninja increases damage to a single target for a bit. Dragoon boosts everyone’s critical hit rate for a few seconds. Reaper boosts everyone’s damage (less than monk) and has a personal barrier that, when broken, grants the whole party a health regen effect.
it's amazing how great the midare setsugekka animation is, especially the beginning during the cast. Literally freezes the ground around you from gathering power for the strike.
Well, seeing as that this is the longest final fantasy crap guide (twice as long as any of the others), I'd hate to see what it would have looked like if the ranged DPS were mixed in too.
A friend of mine got me onto your videos after I posted the picture for you and John Fortnite, and I gotta say these are really helpful videos at helping a longtime Destiny player transition to FFXIV. I played Summoner for all of ARR and I've just swapped to Samurai, so, learning positionals and knowing I'm doing good using my ranged while running from aoes is helping me get better habits to piss my party off less.
This whole video was just so JoCat can show us his samurai duel animation and sing his spooky song in the same video.
Absolutely.
And show off his alliteration skills.
Can you really blame him? Ok, yes you can. But can you hold it against him? Probably also yes...
JoCat's living his best life
Not gonna lie:
I want to hear a full version.
Slight correction: if a Monk has a purple circle and a white circle, it doesn't matter what their next Perfect Balance combo is, it's guaranteed big boi damage

Guaranteed crit for 310 potency -> 320 -> 310 crit -> 1,150 (850 pre-90)
@@MiaTyrnfae I usually use a Bootshine/DK as well, also refreshing the Twin Snakes buff if needed (if it'll drop off during my big burst)

I love how the overall joke for the Crap Guide to FF14 series is that they're all actually really good guides.
I mean that goes all the way back through the Monster Hunter and D&D guides, too.

Monster Hunter was all of the weapons (with the Longsword getting even longer over time), DnD was minis of each class.

one thing tho: the final attack the monks get when having both light and dark and doing the combo a 3rd time regardless of what stances you use is "Phantom Rush". the one where your char quickly teleports in from all angles on the target, assaulting them from all sides.
the kick in the face is done when you do two of the same and a different 3rd stance, and gets you a "purple token" (IF you don't have both already, otherwise it's also a Phantom Rush)
I’ve been interested in FFXIV for a long while but it was this series that pushed me to play the game and it has been one of the best experiences of my life, so thank you so much JoCat you’re the best 😤😤❤️
Same for me except I thought it was one of the most tedious and boring experiences of my life rip 💔
So... what class?
I want to get into it but I straight up cannot justify a monthly subscription for a video game, especially since I live in a part of the world where $15 = two weeks of food
@@ButterflyScarlet It's free to play for the whole base game and the first expansion
Just when I thought these videos couldn't get any better, you put this one up. AND totally blow the last ones out of the water!
Amazing work, love it!!
Bravo, Jo. The entire time I'm watching this, I'm going, "Ohhhhh, the amount of effort been put into this thing is where he's been."
You can tell it took JoCat a while to do this because he references that brief period of 6.0-6.05 where Reaper was just best DPS for all categories
7:45 - "FUCK IT'S THE SKILL FLOW POLICE! CHEEZE IT!"
Every time I watch a JoCat video I think "this is a great video".
Then he drops somehting like the Samurai szene or the Spooky Slice and things go from great to amazing!
He didn't have to go this hard. But he did it anyway.
I love how ninja has those cool places to pose while looking down at everyone in their story. Doing that while wearing the Zero armor from the Garo series is better, even as a Hrothgar.
Ikr? I made my male Miqo'te look as adorable as I could so when I saw him during those cut scenes (especially with the flute music in the background) he looks so... menacingly cute.

I see your statement, and up the antie!
If I had the money, I'd throw it at you like a drunk man throws 1's at strippers, these videos are amazing. The realization that there's still the ranged dps to go through, and potentially each individual job, makes me happier than a pig in shit. The quality gets better with each one, and the songs are *chefs' kiss*. Please never stop making these JoCat.
I missed these videos more then I knew. 😂 The writing on this alone is epic! Top notch realisation and editing. Fantastic animations. Thank you. ❤️
7:15 He DOES see me. Thanks, Jocaddy.
2:35: I legit laughed+coughed so hard at those first two lines (because I main Healer and GOD is it true), oh man. Great stuff as always.
That said, a lot more focused on the jobs this time around. That was a whole thing on each job. Not saying it like it's a bad thing, just a lot more in-depth from the Tank/Healer/"DPS" videos.
... where are they hiding all the Hrothgar hats anyways..? 🤔
@@laschicvalisca2481 im pretty sure they are berried underneath the center of the bosses AOEs and you can only uncover them by digging while the AOE is active.
Yes it is true. That second of uptime and melee getting vuln stacks, o well it makes healing more fun.
@@preistestdragon4634 Dat's not true. I dun want to get Vulnerability and Damage Down! It'll be less awesome when I use my Mudras!
@@laschicvalisca2481 They're hiding alongside the Underwear slot from 1.0
Dragoon main here, dragoons are the coolest and I will never accept an opposing opinion no matter how many sword and shields you offer me
What about a tiny spear thats basicly just a sword and a shield
fair point fair point, however have you ever considered you are wrong? thank you for coming to my TEDTalk i hope you enjoy your day.
Dragoons are never wrong!
Wrong. End of discussion
Dragoon main? don't you mean floor tank main?
As a Reaper main, I need to macro the lyrics of "The Spooky Slice" into my moveset now.
“It’s just your SOUL that’s the price!” Eh, I’m the Warrior of Light; I have plenty to spare.
YES ! Thank you JoCat, finally someone telling the easy secret of ninja's ninjutsu to the rest of the world !
And another excellent guide to giving healers a heart attack, good work :3
The Spooky Slice fucking SENT me.
Thank you so much for yet more quality content 🙏
That Reaper song is perfection, I'll never not be hearing that in my head while playing my spooky boi.
Dang, this might be the first video I've ever seen less than a minute after being posted
caught it after like 3, I almost never see yt notifications 😭
I think I clicked at 50 seconds lol
It feels like Jocat knows that people will be watching this on stream so he's going to embarrass them by doing the silliest things.
This was by far one of the funniest of your ff14 series. I was in a puddle crying for spongebob hanging 5 feet from death and when the skill floor police almost caught you🤣💀
So delightful to hear you voice again; both JoCrap and JoCat. I can't get over the LUNARCON bits.
We need a ten hour loop of Spooky Slice so the reapers can have their theme song playing while in game.
Absolutely amazing, the sheer amount of work and polish that went into this really shows. I was already loving it at just the Lunarcon bit, but wanted to wait to post until I'd finished it. XD Oh gosh, each class was so good.
5:49 Small correction on the Phantom Rush combo: It can be whatever attacks you want. Even those with the same forms. And ideally, you'll want to be doing Dragon Kick and Bootshine for this combo because the guaranteed Crit helps you deal more damage by average.
"Once you've kissed enough boys to build up your fashion bar" Thank you JoCat I will never not think about this now when I see reapers.
as a very scary edgy reaper, me and my void pal do agree that the slices sure are spooky
I need a full version of Spooky Slice in my ear whenever I play Reaper now. Absolutely fantastic vid, the hits just keep on coming!
That song alone is worth the admission price amazing work as always. 😘😁
My personal favorite description of reaper attacks related to building enshroud gauge is "minty fresh"
Minty fresh to rotting flesh
Spooky Slice full version. WE DEMAND IT!
Omg! I never would have guessed that I'd find a new song here that I now NEED in my live.
"You do the SPOOKY Slice!" I love it. Your comedy is top tier. Thanks JoCat
The showdown and Spooky Slice are just amazing. Every bit of effort you bit into this video was worth it and yielded greater than the sum.
I love these following Lyrics written by you! So lore accurate and clever!
From the northern snow fronts of Ilsabard,
The land is cold, and the people scarred.
They sought the void with a daring act,
And howled themselves with a devious pact.
You do the Slice,
The Spoooky Slice!
You do the Slice!
Now your swings have some spice!
You do the Slice!
You do the Spooky Slice!
You do the Slice,
It's just your soul that suffice!"
I think it's 'It's just your soul that's the price!"
Ninja and reaper caught my eye. Very cool! Happy you’re doing more crap guides!
That song was awesome. Also I genuinely thought that samurai duel was a show from the 80s for a few moments!
It feels illegal to be this early
Same
You made me check the time posted and your very correct
It not
Agreed
Right!
Additionally, each of these (except samurai) bring some manner of utility/party buff. Monk has mantra which boosts heals for the whole party and brotherhood that increases everyone’s damage. Ninja increases damage to a single target for a bit. Dragoon boosts everyone’s critical hit rate for a few seconds. Reaper boosts everyone’s damage (less than monk) and has a personal barrier that, when broken, grants the whole party a health regen effect.
Can't wait to see all of the streamers reacting to this one, and getting guilty looks for their own behavior along the way.
Yeah after the first 3 came out I spent like an entire day just watching other people react to jocat.
He can draw, he can animate, he can edit, and he can sing.
What more can you need from a guy?
He can also DM.
Gonna miss you, Jo. Hope you are able to return eventually, will cheer you on from here if you don't.
it's amazing how great the midare setsugekka animation is, especially the beginning during the cast. Literally freezes the ground around you from gathering power for the strike.
And then ogi takes that and adds floating rocks like a dbz transformation
JoCat this is absolute gold and I laughed more than I have in a while on this site. Thank you for your gift
Reaper is one of my go-to classes, and yes, I do the spooky slice often.
P.S. Spooky Slice full version, plz?
Thanks Jocat! The positionals part was educational, didn't know it was sectioned like a pie. And thank you for the full version of Spooky Slice!
holy shit, this is an incredible video. Easily your best one so far, amazing improvement!
I see you went with the option to seperate DPS class types. Can't wait to see the other ones
Well, seeing as that this is the longest final fantasy crap guide (twice as long as any of the others), I'd hate to see what it would have looked like if the ranged DPS were mixed in too.
I recently picked up ffxiv, and I’ll be honest, you’ve been the main reason. Keep doing you my guy
Damn you and Darkside Royalty for getting me addicted to being the floor tank
A friend of mine got me onto your videos after I posted the picture for you and John Fortnite, and I gotta say these are really helpful videos at helping a longtime Destiny player transition to FFXIV.
I played Summoner for all of ARR and I've just swapped to Samurai, so, learning positionals and knowing I'm doing good using my ranged while running from aoes is helping me get better habits to piss my party off less.
When the world needed him most, JoCat returned
