The amount of truth in this, learning the NIN opener feels like trying to do quantum physics in your head while holding on for dear life on the roof of a speeding bullet train. Also, random funny side note that made me chuckle, when your reach level 90 on Botanist you get an achievement called "Fear the Reaper", I need them to give RPR a Botanist achievement pun like "99 problems but a bush ain't one" or "I don't want no shrubs" or some other dumb song pun.
I enjoyed rogue then when i unlocked ninja i hated it and never went back lol. I just kept thinking "ugh this looks like it's going to be more complex than I have patience for." So then my lazy self went back to red mage.
@@continuallyblessed44 Yeah, NIN has a litlle bit of BLM syndrome, where it's kinda tedious for like 10-20 levels and then it gets really fun but really hard lol. The rotation is kind of a nightmare to learn, I can't lie but fun job for regular content.
The secret to learning NIN for me was applying the mudras to a 1 2 3 system, I’ve always been really good at memorizing number sequences in games 1 2 is raiton (lightning) 2 1 is katon (fire aoe) 1 2 3 is suiton (hide buff for trick) 3 2 1 is huton (speed buff) 3 1 2 is doton earth puddle) 2 3 is hyosho ranryu (also hyoton but nobody ever used this before kassatsu made it a 1.2k potency murder button)
@@kuronaialtani For me the mudras I can remember, it's just a huge amount of buttons in a very specific order suddenly in the opener and burst phase. Especially playing on controller(I'm on PC but prefer it) it's hard to find a set up that makes it not insanely chaotic.
@@mismismism Oh, absolutely fuck mudras on controller Tried it one time for fun and I wanted to never even attempt it again It's super easy on my end with the numpad so I can literally place them on 1 2 3, but yeah it's still a learning curve to dump everything into 15-20s every 60s and never fall out of that sequence
To be honest, every time the raid wipes at peggy its because half ppl greed and the other half don't. If everyone greeds he can go down easily before he finish the casting for the second Ancient Flare. Still, dying at that part is like a tradition at this point.
Bruh the amount of casualties that are caused by greed on that boss... I always laugh whenever that happens. To think that's an ARR Alliance Raid and still we frequently wipe there compared to whenever I get Stormblood ARs in duty roulettes. All because of greediness.
I actually ran into a few people recently who didn't realize that dying gives you a damage down debuff and when I told them it was worse for their uptime than losing one gcd because of the debuff (which gets worse after the second consecutive death), they been like "...huh. Didn't know. Oh..." People have been hearing 'Greed is good' so much lately that they don't even know the risks apparently. THEY DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE GREEDING! AAAAAAAAAAAA
People also don't seem to understand that when you're greeding... you STILL need to actually dodge the damage. Greeding just means that you are staying in melee range until the last possible millisecond before the server snapshots your position as the AOE expires.
He forgot to mention that Reaper has almost no positionals. You have 2, that you use once every 30sec or every 5 GCDs, or twice every 90 seconds. You always have True North for RPR Positionals XD
Been playing this game a long, long time and one thing I learned really quickly about melee dps. If you are running a dungeon and have a gap closer, save it for when the tank inevitably stops running on each pack. It'll save you mountains of frustration and time.
I just finished watching it after getting home from work, and it was a delightful lightening of my mood. I look forward to when he does one for ranged DPS because I want to hear him roast MCH mains like me.
Yes, there's actually a full version of Spooky Slice, go watch it. And if you hear someone doing a cameo and think "there's no way they actually got the actual VA in the video", yes, yes he did.
@@Lorekeeper_GGuy i mean we do have a discount Kamehameha but you have to be fairly close to use it so its barely a ranged option, hadouken would be amazing though
honestly when i started playing tank i watch a bunch of guides and stuff and i thought melee had to hit positionals or they would have to reset the entire combo and rotation XD can you imagine how hard the game would be or even attempting ultimate like this "uhhhh.... i kinda hit the flank.... we need to wipe soz"
Gotta love the rear and flank checks. Learning how the heck melee DPS does this was like aaaaaaaaaaa, until learning liberal use of True North, and dancing around the points where the truncated nippled doughnut breaks - strafe here a bit and it's Rear, strafe the other way and it's Flank.
he actually made the spooky slice song. he got the actual voice actor for Zenos to do a line in the song, since Zenos is a reaper. here it is: watch?v=NH2wDdYIMQU
....i feel so fucking weird for this but ever since i started messing about with dragoon my primary goal has not been to push my personal dps or improve on it its literally just to see how good i can get at saying no to all the floor tank memes and stay alive as well as possible man ff14 is weird when that suddenly becomes your priority just so you can look at people and go hah...i aint no floor tank anymore >:)
I usually die to just general messing up rather than jumping into AoE's. Though i did do that once in endsinger extreme. It was during 5 heads and high jump just so happened to come off cooldown right as the aoe's went off , i i jumped into danger alive, then immediatly back to safety dead.

They don't just play DRG for the story- they do it because they need the class's Adamantine Knees trait to survive all the massive falls the game puts in dungeons.
Most mobs do not actually have a full circle. They have a 270 degree arc which indicates where the back is. For the most part you don't need to care about positionals when AoEing because no AoE skill has positionals, but most bosses do have that 270degree arc unless design team believes said content is impossible to have uptime in the rear. For example, bosses that are effectively just a wall in front of you.
@@deltaoalice9281 wow, I actually never noticed, maybe because I mostly play tank and stand in front of mobs but I'll definitely pay attention now If I'm on another job. :)
To answer what he majored in, he majored in Graphic Design.
To 14's credit: most of the bosses have fine asses.
I want a full song of Spooky Slice so badly.
There’s been a recent trend/resurgence of people talking about one of compound 2P’s heel being an ass and legs, as well as echidna from weeping city

Not gonna lie, laughed really hard on this one. I'm a melee dps main, good times :)
Jocat is actually a level 20 bard that got transported out of the dnd realm to ours.
The song for Reaper is a parody of the Monster Mash.
The Spooky Slice is legit stuck in my head.✌🤣
Edgy boy points is the best description of Reaper’s bars. 😂

aww no helping Jocat to promote Lunar Con in the video? :P
Fixed - see pinned (:
"Like and off tank having fun." What did I ever do to you, JoCat? XD
this damn song has been stuck in my head for 3 days now !!
To answer the question about the song at the end, it is a parody of the "Monster Mash." A Halloween classic.
the song gets me everytime i watch this
Ninja: sever ticks are my worst enemy.......
da hell..! WHY didn't youtube alert me that he had a new one of these out??! i gotta go blast the like button on this vid! (also on this one)
Can't wait for the magical dps crap guide. I will say one thing only, Verwipe!
This is why playing all roles is important.
It made me a much better Monke main.
For those who don't already know, the song is based on the song Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett.
love that he redid monster mash
When enemies have Rear cone attacks, I always call them Fart Cones.
whos edgier, dark knight or reaper?
Can we get a full version of "Spooky Slice" on spotify please?
Okay but, where is our Kaiten? I still have it binded to the hud bar [not a sam main btw, but still]
I do believe the Bird, Cat, and Monkey thing was a reference to Legends of the Hidden Temple
@@DarthDarrik look at the way they were drawn by jocat

Hmm monk rotation, for the third one to cash in your tokens it can be any combination you like… i believe
This one is a great video gona rewatch the og video to we should support the original video aswell
Jocat is an absolute hilarious delight! xD
Square wouldnt rework monk completely simply because it lacks a range move...would they?

The song is a parody of a song called "The Monster Mash". Funny comedy song from 1962.

Depends on the Server, there's literally nobody but sprouts doing msq in cerberus quicksand XD Limsa on the other hand...
