Man I'm so glad I'm doing the big burst window right. Picto has been so fun to figure out
For big burst, you don’t necessarily have to use the hammer immediately, you can activate it so the cooldown can start on the charge, but can still be up by the time you cycle through rainbow. Of course either way works, depending on your mobility needs and should still align with raid buffs
That's the best part of picto is you can do any version of an opener so long as the cooldowns align well, and you get the skills in the actual burst window. I sometimes press the star level 100 ability early because some fights do raid wide at the start, and the heal is game changing.
Clear and well explained - thank you ❤
Thank you for the guide! :D
Thank you for the guide, it's the first one that actually made me understand the job and how to play it!
Best guide for beginners so far. Thanks!
Nice Guide!
Also does anyone else think that Holy and Comet should just be one button instead of two?
There are lots of buttons that could be combined on Picto, they just left themselves plenty of space to expand the job without any button bloat.
@@HalfLifeHalfDead having 2 diff buttons for the holy/comet is literal button bloat, same as having 2 seperate buttons to actually activate your hammer.
Yea, both the comet and stronger basic combo could just replace the weaker versions.
@@eunomii4239 That's what I am saying, they did this so that they can remove them in future expansions and add something else while keeping the same amount of buttons. None of the motifs, the white and black paint, the 100 capstone skill or the two paint 1-2-3 combos have to be on separate buttons, yet they are.
@@HalfLifeHalfDead i think it's a perception thing as well. All of those changes could definitely be made to 1 button, but then the job is releasing with like... 12 buttons and I think people would also complain about that
Brilliant guide, thank you 👌👍
Nice thanks was looking for some guidance because I wasn’t sure about my rotation. For burst phase when it comes to rainbow drip I actually cast another immediately with swift cast. Then hammer 1 then creature then creature laser then finish hammer combos. Then prepare for next burst. This is such a fun burst job I’m loving it. I will start trying to get 2 black commits for burst start. I usually never know what to do with white paint I know it’s for those heavy mobility phases it just sucks when your stacked and you didn’t need em. Seems a bit wasteful but I’m glad to know it’s not really a dps lost to not use em unless I’m moving.
I love that they made such an easy job that everyone enjoys. Been having a lot of fun with it, hit a couple buttons then top of dps 😂
All i want from this job is the ability to still use holy while comet is available, so i can hold comet for burst but still use holy to allign burst to force it to contain thunder and stone
Mistake on Tempera Grassa: if it breaks, it reduces the cooldown by 30 seconds. Only if the shield doesn't break, either as Tempera Coat or Tempera Grassa, that you suffer the full 120s cooldown.
I subbed hope you got a viper guide cuz I dont feel like reading another job skills yet lol
There is indeed one XD
The only thing i really dislike about PCT is his white Paint/Holy Stacks. When you have a less movement heavy Fight you overcap a lot on your white Paint since aside of your Hammer you can technically also Swift Painting a Canvas for Movement or swift your RGB Combo for movement. So for nearly all the other Classes its a No go to overcap your Ressources but as for PCT you actually WANT to overcap.
Yea it feels a bit weird ^^"
I always save Swiftcast for Instant Moogle/Madeen. But the 40 second make it always drift in the burst.
@NeollaNoila save it and dont worry about it, unfortunately you have to hold the beam for like 20 seconds but i feel like its better that way anyway
@@NeollaNoilaswift isn't worth using on the motif spells for anything other than movement because they have a 4 second recast
@@UnstoppableSmooze Huh? Swiftcast would rarely be used on anything else. Why not a motif? It can be used for a subtractive spell, but it is less worth it.
❤
I just finished the MSQ as a Red Mage and holy crap is it fast paced. I'm hesitant to level a Picto because of the long cast times.
I didn't see this posted in the comments (sorry if I missed it) but tempera grassa does have a 30 second cool down reduction if it's popped. So less than the 60 second reduction from coat, but not a full 2 minutes either.
Also, you mentioned the creature paintings are all the same, which is true. But the beams are different potencies, so ideally you want the madeen laser for the 2 minute burst
Yea someone else mentioned both points earlier ^^
The cd decrease on the shield was an oversight on my part, but the creature potency was indeed just talking about the normal creature attack not the laserbeam. While you can save madeen for the first few bursts, eventually it will start to drift and you will need to use mog instead. But if you can use madeen then it will be a small gain indeed.
In fact, with Swiftcast, it’s possible to cast the second set of hammer time combos and exhaust 5 stacks of hyperphantasia during the 20s burst period if all skills are being casted properly. Failing to do so may result not spending all stacks of hyperphantasia. However, it’s nearly impossible to stay in the circle for 20s to do the combos during boss fights. Also, early exhausting hyperbantasia will end the burst period early. Therefore, I think pictomaner’s max damage rotation has barely any error tolerance which makes it more difficult to be executed compared to other jobs.
I can barely fit everything inside the 20 second window as is XD
I don't see how you would be able to fit a second hammer combo in there.
@@IlyaDalamiq The burst period ends upon using the last hyperphantasia. You should at least keep one stack until the last second of the burst. There may not be enough time to do a cast spell at the end so save an instant cast spell that consumes hyperphantasia to the last. Also, Striking Muse should be casted first before casting Starry Muse>1st hammer combos, you can use whatever instant cast spell and CYM color combo + 1 instant cast that consumes the stack (Black/White/Star) in between but keep one instant spell (Black/White/Star) to the end. Use Swiftcast when the 1st hammer combos almost done on Weapon Motif>Striking Muse>2nd hammer combos. You should be able to have just enough time to cast Star Prism before the burst end. Lastly, cast Rainbow Drip which won’t benefit from the Starry Muse as it is only available after all stacks are consumed.
Oh you mean to use 2 hammer combos instead of your other stuff?
@@IlyaDalamiq what other stuff? Monster Motif combo? Madeen and 1 Living Muse should be ready and can be fit in the burst rotation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t cast any monster motif skills. If you mean color combos, only 1 set of color combo + 2 instant color spells that can be fit during the burst as they consume hyperphantasia. So basically, I have included everything in the 20s
Okay so i think i get it. Prioritize your paintings and focus on using your paintings. Your 1-2-3 should just be used when you don't have the ability to use your paintings like they're on cooldown. I had the hardest time trying to understand picto, but now I think I get it. The canvases are primary and the basic combo is secondary.
For most jobs, basic combos are secondary priority, not the primary focus
Really?! No wonder I kept getting emptied canvas when burst.
Except drg :( @@PatriotArro
Can you use swift cast on the motifs or rainbow drip at any point?
You can, for rainbow drip I wouldn't use it unless it's your last gcd before downtime, or to bridge a short downtime period (like a certain point in the 99 trial where you get knocked up for longer then a normal gcd).
So, how are the stats looking like for picto? Would the build need spell speed?
I think it’s skill speed or DH
I imagine you'll want a tiny bit of sps, because without any it's really tight to fit all your spells into your burst window.
But how much that would be, I don't know.
from what ive seen, crit>det>=dh>sps. picto has huge potency hits, and having a lot of crit makes a huge difference on that
What are your thoughts on spellspeed Picto?
I have not tried it, so can't say.
Recruiting for a caster. Preferably PCT using Ilya rotation
Ilya rotation?
Istg, the thing I hate most about Viper and Picto really is the fact that your actions change all the time. My hotbars look so absurdly weird because of that, yet they are as comfortable as they can get
nice empty hotbar bro
That’s sad you don’t cast holy often i love the way it looks and sounds :\
You can still use it for mobility. Even if you use all the holy stacks you get it's less then 1% damage loss so not that big of a deal ^^
Cast it then? why do people think youtuber guides are some kind of law? grow up and stop trying to min max every damn thing. Just have fun....
hasnt this opener been on icyveins since dt dropped? im confused how ppl are so starstruck
I think so, I grabbed this one from the balance but they might have taken it from there.
I cant stand painting the canvas. This is the only reason I dont play Picto.
You can use the quick cast and then the off gcd's, so even the canvas isn't that bad. It's not like you need to be holding the quick cast for a quick rez or something.
Get good then. Lol not that freaking hard when we have so many ogcd's
2 things you got fundamentally wrong in the guide. 1) the raid wide shield can have its cast time reduced if the shields are removed by 30 secs. 2) the creature motif with 4 pictures is 100 potency higher than mog of ages and is therefore better under raid buffs. Please read your tool tips better.
You're right, the shield bit was an oversight on my part.
For the second point, i was talking about the creature painting itself, not the mog/madeen, as these 2 abilities have drift and thus you can't always have the same one under raid buffs.
You can't fit the Madeen in first burst because of the 40 second cd. Need to hold on to it till second burst.
@NeollaNoila i wouldnt hold on to it, just use it. 100 potency dif not worth missing out on 1400 then 1300 (im not in game to remember potencies. You should use one in your burst window, and the other at a random point beforethe burst window so its ready again.
Nvm i double checked andit seems at higher levels they are holding it, but thats weird to me when you can just use it, i guess they hold it for the first burst to line it up. Whereas after that you can use moogle beam on cd and the madene or what not in burst.
@@devxved madene is just straight up more potency so there is no reason to not use it under buffs. Some people liken it to the chakra system with Monk, but it’s a bit different because it requires 4 motifs to enable versus 3 PBs in Monk. That additional motif means it’s realistically a DPS gain to use it under buffs for a reopener.
i hope this class got nerfed to the ground
Damn bro relax. Let people enjoy their jobs, others are getting buffed next patch
huh? why? as far as i know PCT is only good during opening burst, RPR and VPR can easily out dmg PCT overtime
@@akizh04 picto outdoes Black Mage and buffs the party its rough
@@SpaceElvisInc BLM doesnt have to be the number 1 dps you know. and the reason why BLM is so underwhelming right now is because of their nerf, not simply bcus PCT exist
@akizh04 but black mage literally has to be top damage among casters, if it isn't what does it have, no buffs, no raise, play picto
