the whole segment at 11:31 when chair is having an existential crisis over this double enshroud thing....... how to put it? the suffering in his voice hits just right.
No, it's the silent whimper of Chair and the "NO!" of every FF14 player who's tried an ultimate when he discards the Ultima totems for a meme in his video
He took the words out of my mouth when I realized double enshroud was possible under arcane crest, but the execution to accomplish it has too much of a cost on my sanity to try.
@@Winter_Rune I just Enshroud and immediately pop Arcane Circle after without worrying about cooldowns lining up. I used to worry about Gluttony and my Soul Slice/Scythe cooldowns drifting but then I realized I value my sanity and now I just pop them when they're up without worrying if they all line up perfectly.
@@ernestisom5878 see but that sounds more like a you problem. especially bc it sounds like you're one of those people whose only insult is snowflake lol. if you don't like ffxiv, that's fine, that's your prerogative, but it literally just sounds like you're dunking on people who like ffxiv because they...enjoy glamour?? if i'm interpreting "worried about how they look" correctly? and that is super unnecessary lol.
Listen, I have a good reason to play this job. My glam for Reaper is a bright pink princess dress, matching scythe, and I become a bubblegum pink edgelord. My glam singlehandedly elevates the job to god tier.
I love that omfg. Do you have the weapon show when it's sheathed? The image of stumbling upon this cute character in a pretty pink dress not knowing what class they play only for them to pull out an *_entire scythe_* is too funny to me
Reaper is just fun as hell imo because it has the visual flair and fills with dopamine you will smile playing it. Nothing is wrong with easy playstyle.
@@Anergyne exactly my friend though balance is rough at the moment I'm an advocate for play whatever you like. Power output really only matters to the 1% that world race and they aren't even having fun to begin with.
I'm just gonna pretend that I knew that Void/Cross reaping didn't have positionals but still pop True North while in hyper shroud to make sure the other people in my group who don't play Melee think that I'm smarter than I really am.
RIP for people that still haven't noticed TN's cooldown matches gallows/gibbet use, and therefore think RPR has positionals at all nearly a year after the class went live. Literally the first thing I noticed from the 2021 fan fest footage was that it did, and immediately asked why even bother giving them positionals in the first place.
I literally went two whole months thinking there were positionals in Shroud. I main the class and I had to reread them after someone pointed it out to me. 10/10 would do it again
Double enshroud is so funny I kinda love it, even if it weirdly compares to red mage, who's melee combo due to 3 finishers is so long you cant fully double combo in raid buffs.
that feel when people think any class is harder than any of the others in a game where every job is on a 2.5s GCD. The gatekeeping in FFXIV is monstrously laughable and quite honestly not surprising in the slightest given there's 0 other content to bitch about with 4 boss raid tiers and only a single custom delivery or beast tribe quest every 9 months.
@@vaniccinav5707 I mean I think there's definitely some variance. MNK has a quick GCD, Brotherhood weaving is kinda nightmarish and you have a lot of small things to pay attention to, from the timers to your buffs and so on. But I do agree with the general take. Within the same role, all jobs are roughly the same difficulty. Some are harder in terms of their kits, others have some things that need more skill on a skill-by-skill basis, but they're all roughly the same. Like, is RPR easier than MNK and NIN? Yeah, I would say. Is it significantly easier to the point it's really worth talking about? I don't think so.
@@aiu941 MNK is significantly harder than the other melees. Anyone that says otherwise has either only ever played MNK or never played MNK lmfao, and honestly, any Job mains not BLM or MNK gatekeeping other jobs saying they're too easy is laughable. (Well gatekeeping in general is laughable to begin with but you get my point lmfao)
@@aiu941 And I say this as a RPR main. Reaper is SIGNIFICANTLY easier than MNK. I was a SAM main in SB and I can safely say though, current SAM is quite a bit easier than RPR. Actually current SAM is probably the easiest job currently in the game if you count the usual TankHealerRangedMage responsibilities. But this difference I do agree falls in your point of "not significant enough to be mentioned"
Chair in his prime in this video. I now also have to admit, I was one of those that didn't relaize the gallows and gibbet upgrade don't use positionals....I've been using true north every time I turn shroud to counter nothing....
the job has been out for like 8 months now, how have you not read your tooltips. jesus this is why the game is getting nerfed into simple stuff, no one is reading or learning.
@@justsomeguy4422 i read my tool tips just fine but I assumed cross reaping and void reaping were just enhanced gibbet and gallows. It was a faulty assumption on my part and while the job has been out for 8 months, I’ve only been playing for 4 most of which was the msq on another job
I think it's fair to assume that these enhanced versions of the skills have positionals, but at the same time, my intuition told me that them having a reduced GCD at 1.5s meant the devs didn't want you running back and forth between rear and flank. Reading the tooltips pretty much confirmed this.
the distractions to keep you from your distractions line is too real man. Its like watching yourself do these things and knowing that other things must be done but being stuck being distracted because coming to terms with the emotions involved would undo you.
Only time Triple Communio pot burst made sense to me was P3 after adds phase. Also I can no longer hear the Endwalker final boss music without Enshroud screams every minute.
I'm currently releveling Reaper on my main. Haven't played it in a couple months after I promptly forgot about my alt that I leveled it on first so this hits at just the right time. Also, I alternate between MCH and RDM as my main jobs depending on how I'm feeling so speed and simplicity is kinda my bread and butter.
Okay, I kinda wanna try that garbage double enshroud now. Reaper was always kinda boring to me, I just liked the flashy flashies. But now, I can experience true pain. Thanks Chair!
RPR is all fun and game until you found yourself in latest ultimate and start competing with MCH for misery index. joking, MCH is still the most miserable, can't compete with such peak misery.
@Captain Orsson Main issue of RPR is DSR in current ilvl have tight DPS check, due to long downtime of DSR and most RPR burst require constant build up of resource, it result in significantly lower rdps, especially when compare to NIN/MNK. Generally, you want everything in your favor when progging ultimate, as the content is tightly tuned at ilvl 600.
forever salty that RPR got a viera-accessible hat before RDM regardless of how it plays or any other aspect of the job, its lore, or its absolutely A+ job tutor lady.
nah i hope not. Its way too clunky for this already struggling game. Sometimes your characters just stays invisible for a few seconds after leaving enshroud. Sometimes animations dont show properly.
Yes I want a guide from you!! As a RPR I’m already dead sooooo…. And I don’t follow rules! I die a lot but I DON’T follow rules. Enshroud is my buddy….lolol
Good job design is getting true north 20 levels before you get your two whole positionals. Really like RPR after 80 though. It's a good break from being a BLM main.
im just curious, does anyone else bind all of a classes buttons before evenh unlocking them to not have to suffer default layout for even half a second and yo get used to where future buttons are, that too.
I do this these days. I started in shadowbringers. I usually have to rearrange things when I get a better understanding of the job but it's better than not thinking about it at all.
Does the way that Chair said to do double enshroud vs the way the Balance shows how to do double enshroud matter? Same buttons but instead of hittind deaths design 2x in a row they spread it out. Been trying to get into Reaper as my main alt job and maybe try it in savage in the future. I actually like Chair's version better because the Balance version makes it so your 1st enshroud is a different sequence of buttons (because your weaving your deaths design into it) and it reaallly throws me off. Chair's version just gets the BS degenerate shit out of the way right away so you can do both enshrouds normally.
Chair's version can push the 2nd Communio and subsequent Gluttony outside of 15s raid buffs depending on buff alignment, as it's forcing 3 extra seconds of GCDs (reaping actions) into that section.
The version chair shows is also gonna push your Arcane Circle behind by 1s with every 2m and will desync your AC from other raid buffs and potentially out of burst. It‘s more selfish and worse for yourself and your party.
I asked in a previous video but will attempt to ask one more time here, i began samurai AFTER the Kaiten changes (currently at sam85) so i dont have first hand experience. But doesnt the changes make it to where you weave in more ogcd attacks? How much of a loss is there really if the moves you were going to use kaiten on now basically auto kaiten themselves? Is it more just because samurai doesnt "feel" as good without it even tho the changes arent bad on paper? I mained summoner before endwalker and so while new smn is fine (needs a lot of work) i miss the feeling of getting the job down right before it was changed and now it doesnt feel complete currently. Is that same reason why you and many others are mad about losing Kaiten? I am NOT trying to defend the changes or argue, i am legitimately seeking to understand why this is such a big deal for so many people since i didnt experience samurai before these changes and personally find it very fun atm.
The sad truth is, it's just simplified. All you care now is to not overcap kenki and to be able to spend as much of it in buffs. Before you had 'fixed' kenki expenditure to buff your iaitjutsu (won't even discuss senei) so it required more attention from the player's part. It's lowering of the skill ceiling while also removing an aesthetic from the job that was appealing to a lot of players without giving anything in return (in fact, due to the nature of job synergy, sam was indirectly nerfed since they literally cannot benefit from stuff like tech step, litany, chain stratagem etc for a good part of their damage source)
My understanding isn’t that Kaiten changes are a DPS loss or anything, though it now conflicts with Crit Buffers like DRG. Kaiten was just flavorful and subjectively “more fun” than weaving in extra shintens.
As someone whose only gripe on old summoner was always having to mind pet position, new summoner feels like my brain will become an oval or straight up just a shiny orb from the lack of thought I have to put on it besides trying to not drift your button to do big damage and then reset stones, since having to move kinda screws the few seconds of leeway you usually have to press it when using ifrit. Miss my DoTs.
@@KuroeNezumi thanks for the explanatiom everyone! And yes alejandro i particularly hate how the fester energy drain combo is just slapped on now. I wish we got to keep our dots at least which tied the whole toolkit together. I also dont like how carbuncle just is there now. They might as well just remove him if not give him.more to do
4 buttons, 2 are the same but you press it from a slightly different position hhHhHhmMmmM I wonder which ability will be yeeted in an inevitable rpr rework
that deaths design exists is my biggest complaint. it breaks the flow and using it in enshroud feels awful, especially when you have to due to mechancis
Good God, I too is an idiot who thought enshroud gallow and giblet was positional, until a fc member point out there is no positional during my double enshroud window rotation training I did 🤦🏻♂️
I swear the amount of people writing that they didnt know the enshroud buttons dont have positionals need to stop being so fukcing relatable, I literally booted up the game and checked when you said that because i was like "no fucking way" but yeah, they lack positional requirements.
i started playing reaper because i needed asap a dps so i could farm in bozja (i was a pld main before that) and honestly i kinda regretted it but i had no choice if i wanted to maximize time since it starts at level 70, i really hope in some huge changes with the coming of dawntrail cuz otherwise i just wasted time this job is kinda dogshit now
Isn't double Enshroud being sorta "weird" the same as prepulling Kassatsu or Meikyo to squeeze everything into burst/get an extra cast? I personally like how Reaper's current burst is kinda "hard" in the sense that you either do it perfectly or cry, and the actual choices you get based on how Death's Design interacts with your burst is unique, which I really like. I think I like RPR for similar reasons that I like MNK. It's REALLY easy to pick up and get a feel for it, but the perfect gameplay is kinda cursed and if you press 1 wrong button or a mechanic forces you away it becomes really hard to do everything right. Plus, you get some freedom to change your stuff up with a skill or two. MNK is definitely still harder and MORE flexible, but the vibe, to me, is similar. Also on a different note, while Reaper is kinda pretty bad in DSR, I actually super like getting to Soul Tow optimize mid-mechanic and actually make use of the Gate mechanic and Communio being ranged, it's fun!
Eh, I think being unable to double enshroud as an opener is the defining difference. Like milking the extra midares by casting 9s early just doesn’t read the same to me as ‘hold it for 2 minutes.’
I think the words "playing it better is a dumpster fire" is apt. It's an easy job on the surface, but while Samurai has 0 depth, Reaper's depth gets.... A bit too much at times. But you know what? I think that's okay. Most people won't need to optimize to that degree anyways, and there's multiple ways to do double Enshroud more easily anyways
@@ryudhal SAM definitely has depths once you don't just do the simple Hagakure loop. Resetting and manipulating your gcds to match to your burst isn't easy :v But I am also okay with how RPR is for the most part, yeah. (Although I wish we had like one extra thing to do during filler phase)
Just gotta say the whole difficulty thing in general I don't get. But then again I'm the sort that is spending my time in ffxiv replaying the msq with new game plus so perhaps I'm odd. Course I hardly can even do savage content. My group is stuck on kampeos harma in p2s and soon we won't have enough people anyway because of them leaving for wotlk. Also Chocola > Vanilla
i genuinly wonder why someone would replay the msq like that xD its just walking and re-reading dialogue isnt it? Like taping a harry potter book to your face and walk around the block
@@ich3730 Why would someone eat the same food more than once? Or do the same drug more than once even. You've eaten food before. Why bother beside the complaints of your stomach? In short, I replay it because it's enjoyable. Sure, I take shortcuts this time like using mounts instead of walking, or teleporting when I can just not. Though I find myself waiting for the weather to feel appropriate still.

My understanding isn’t that Kaiten changes are a DPS loss or anything, though it now conflicts with Crit Buffers like DRG. Kaiten was just flavorful and subjectively “more fun” than weaving in extra shintens.
As someone whose only gripe on old summoner was always having to mind pet position, new summoner feels like my brain will become an oval or straight up just a shiny orb from the lack of thought I have to put on it besides trying to not drift your button to do big damage and then reset stones, since having to move kinda screws the few seconds of leeway you usually have to press it when using ifrit. Miss my DoTs.
@@KuroeNezumi thanks for the explanatiom everyone!
And yes alejandro i particularly hate how the fester energy drain combo is just slapped on now. I wish we got to keep our dots at least which tied the whole toolkit together. I also dont like how carbuncle just is there now. They might as well just remove him if not give him.more to do
@@dustinhatfield8373 carbuncle is so useless that i often forget that he still has 1 use and end up summoning he mid combat
Aww, fuck. I thought they had positionals too.
ah limit cut memes, almost as good as jagd doll memes.
Hey mom look I'm famous now!
How many Chairs are there?
I thought they had positional on them also until way later
How’d you get 15 minutes from 5 buttons my guy
It's because those buttons are actually more buttons that also are secretly mire buttons
4 buttons, 2 are the same but you press it from a slightly different position
hhHhHhmMmmM I wonder which ability will be yeeted in an inevitable rpr rework
6:30 I feel stupid. Read your tooltips folk's
Lemure Slice on Death's Design.
you videos are soo funny keep it up 😂😂
that deaths design exists is my biggest complaint. it breaks the flow and using it in enshroud feels awful, especially when you have to due to mechancis
Good God, I too is an idiot who thought enshroud gallow and giblet was positional, until a fc member point out there is no positional during my double enshroud window rotation training I did 🤦🏻♂️
I swear the amount of people writing that they didnt know the enshroud buttons dont have positionals need to stop being so fukcing relatable, I literally booted up the game and checked when you said that because i was like "no fucking way" but yeah, they lack positional requirements.
6:32 2nd time watching this video, still didnt know this. hm
i started playing reaper because i needed asap a dps so i could farm in bozja (i was a pld main before that) and honestly i kinda regretted it but i had no choice if i wanted to maximize time since it starts at level 70, i really hope in some huge changes with the coming of dawntrail cuz otherwise i just wasted time this job is kinda dogshit now
Void Reaping and Cross Reaping AREN'T POSITIONALS?!?!?
we all know that a job is only really difficult if it has DOT
SHHHLAAAMMM!
always had him pegged as a serial reapist tnh
Isn't double Enshroud being sorta "weird" the same as prepulling Kassatsu or Meikyo to squeeze everything into burst/get an extra cast? I personally like how Reaper's current burst is kinda "hard" in the sense that you either do it perfectly or cry, and the actual choices you get based on how Death's Design interacts with your burst is unique, which I really like. I think I like RPR for similar reasons that I like MNK. It's REALLY easy to pick up and get a feel for it, but the perfect gameplay is kinda cursed and if you press 1 wrong button or a mechanic forces you away it becomes really hard to do everything right. Plus, you get some freedom to change your stuff up with a skill or two. MNK is definitely still harder and MORE flexible, but the vibe, to me, is similar.
Also on a different note, while Reaper is kinda pretty bad in DSR, I actually super like getting to Soul Tow optimize mid-mechanic and actually make use of the Gate mechanic and Communio being ranged, it's fun!
Eh, I think being unable to double enshroud as an opener is the defining difference. Like milking the extra midares by casting 9s early just doesn’t read the same to me as ‘hold it for 2 minutes.’
@@sundalius That's fair
I think the words "playing it better is a dumpster fire" is apt. It's an easy job on the surface, but while Samurai has 0 depth, Reaper's depth gets.... A bit too much at times. But you know what? I think that's okay. Most people won't need to optimize to that degree anyways, and there's multiple ways to do double Enshroud more easily anyways
@@ryudhal SAM definitely has depths once you don't just do the simple Hagakure loop. Resetting and manipulating your gcds to match to your burst isn't easy :v But I am also okay with how RPR is for the most part, yeah. (Although I wish we had like one extra thing to do during filler phase)
Soy milk is amazing how dare you
Chair I cant hold it in any longer, I want you to say the word MACHINE 10 times in a row and then say Machinist again
Ram Ranch is a gain on 2
Just gotta say the whole difficulty thing in general I don't get. But then again I'm the sort that is spending my time in ffxiv replaying the msq with new game plus so perhaps I'm odd.
Course I hardly can even do savage content. My group is stuck on kampeos harma in p2s and soon we won't have enough people anyway because of them leaving for wotlk.
Also Chocola > Vanilla
i genuinly wonder why someone would replay the msq like that xD its just walking and re-reading dialogue isnt it? Like taping a harry potter book to your face and walk around the block
@@ich3730 Why would someone eat the same food more than once? Or do the same drug more than once even.
You've eaten food before. Why bother beside the complaints of your stomach?
In short, I replay it because it's enjoyable.
Sure, I take shortcuts this time like using mounts instead of walking, or teleporting when I can just not. Though I find myself waiting for the weather to feel appropriate still.
There is no way double enshroud wasn't an oversight.
i found reaper to be fun in dsr :(
yeah really fun to invent 15 different re-openers for every weird kill time
@@ich3730 way more fun then doing the same rotation every fight regardless of timeline. zzzzzz

My jaw dropped when he casually discarded two ultimate tokens.
6:35 WHAT
You’re so fucking hilarious. 😂
