don't worry, this won't be the only DPS video ;)
Hope your queue pops before you release the new video!
Thank goodness, I want to hear the bad mouthing
I didn't cast a single spell or use a single ability during this entire video.
Suck it, chicken-head. >:D
You doubly nailed that ending.
What do you do when the party's full health?
DPS the Bad guy !
"The only difference between an amateur and a master is that the master has failed way more times" actually really inspirational
Absolutely true, too. Failure is the best teacher.
500 Gil says he got it from Kuro-Sensei.
I mean he WAS queuing as a Bard, makes sense that he'd throw some inspiration out there
So true. I failed a Bozja solo duel 3 times before I succeeded. Failure taught me much.
You learn more from your failures than you do from your successes.
The ending is a perfect representation of DPS mains.
6 minute queue for dps is very generous
@@No0wis nah. He recorded, edited, and uploaded the video in the time it took for it to pop.
"The difference between an armature and a master is that a master has failed more times"
its only a 6 minute video...now if it were a 15 min one...then.
That joke he made 3 weeks ago came full circle
plot twist:
he was waiting for his que to pop ever since "A Crap Guide to Final Fantasy XIV: Healers"
*looking at 35 minute queue that said "7 minute wait time"*
@@chrismanuel9768 Correction: "Average 7 minute wait."
And 35 minutes on a 7 minute average wait time... sounds about right.
Its incredible the diference between roles in finding duties! I started playing dps and is like 10-15 minutes to find team, now i am a healer and it takes literaly 2 seconds to find team!!! DPS overpopulation
@@chrismanuel9768 and you queue as a “adventurer in need”
@@deathsheir2035 and for Coils a 30 minute queue time can last a week because people keep leaving at the last second and everyone else follows suit
If “it’s such little dps it doesn’t matter” was actually true, they wouldn’t have updated boss’ health percentage to display tenths of percents.
they want you to know EXACTLY how close you got when you failed for maximum internal suffering
@@IntegrityGames I swear the last 0.9% always goes down way slower than from 5% to 1%
@@royox - I know as soon as it hits like 5% and the DPS hits the Limit button, I dump *everything* I have and that 4% goes pretty fast... then I'm running on dregs that last 0.9%. I assumed everyone was doing the same.

"WHO IS DEALING MORE DAMAGE?"
Jocrap is an elder god confirmed.
Dont you love it when his neck buttons turns to eyes
The nightmares are delicious.
The answer is, *the person waiting* because they didn't reset their 1000 potency combo finisher with their pissant ranged skill that probably doesn't even _have_ enough range to be cast without standing inside the telegraph anyway. What's that? Endwalker? Not out yet...
@@luminusprime GOD yes it feels so bad to use backdash+Enpi as SAM because of this, even if it *is* buffed
(luckily you can often greed the aoe by dodging at the very last moment and only lose half a GCD's time)
@@luminusprime The answer is the person who stays in the orange and gets out closer to as late as they can without getting hit and gap closes back in after the attack goes off, and thus barely spends any time delaying a GCD, if any.
Omg I've had people criticize me as my NIN for using knife throw as I'm running from an AoE saying it's a useless move. I feel so flipping vindicated right now. Thank you!
Oh yeah. I use my ranged ability any time I have to run from an AoE, stand in a tower, or close a gap after a boss quick move.
If I'm not within 4 yalms, you can bet I'm smashing that knife throw.
It's great not only for the damage - get that free ninki!
you could have put that dagger throw to better use by using a GCD at max melee, moving off the boss and getting back to the boss before the GCD expired.
Only time it's a DPS boost is if you spend a full GCD or more off the boss. But for most bosses if you hit the melee skill just as you move out of range, youi can get back to the mobs max melee distance before the GCD expires foregoing any need to have used dagger throw in the first place.
However, if there is a long time where you are not on the boss, then yes, please use ranged abilities.
Especially now that ranged attacks don't interrupt your ongoing melee combos in EW
just play bard, no down time, we accidently run into AOE's like men.
"I'm sure the neighbors won't mind"
I made friends with my neighbor by blowing up their striking dummy as BLM. They liked the fireworks show and actually moved the dummy closer to the wall so it was easier to hit from my FC's property. They also asked if I could teach them BLM if they ever try to pick it up again cuz they tried once and just didn't get it
It helped when I finally figured out how Astral Fire and Umbral Ice actually worked because the game doesn't actually tell you in your tooltips what they do, just that you get them. (Fire stacks increase your damage but halts your MP regen, Ice cause you to rapidly regenerate MP but don't give you the damage buff)
@@Foxpawed it's been a long time since I've played and even longer since I last switched to BLM (I mained WHM) but I'm sure I remember the game telling you this while you're leveling up
@@mlpowers1991 it's literally only in the description of the job gauge from what I saw while unlocking it.
@@Foxpawed Is it? Like I said, it's been a long time since I've touched BLM, picked it up in 2.X and last touched it I think in 3.0
O, x,x? . @@Foxpawed
"it's such little damage it wont make a difference"
Me, who's been raiding since 2.x, seeing many, MANY, 1% wipes; Sure, Jan.
Aren't you happy you can now see 0.01% wipes instead! :D
@@ShikiRen Honestly? Yes. Now we can know which mage isn't casting damage.
there is nothing more painful than losing to enrage with 0.1% damage. only comparable to commiting to kill the boss before a mechanic starts and wiping because there wasn't enough DPS to kill the boss before the mechanic could kill everyone.
God I had a 0.1% timeout in a 7man Dalriada once. Not happy.
@@Gyrono yep, same, its the only time I advocated to not wait for cutscenes. and we still wiped.
"It's such little DPS, it won't make a difference."
Nael, Cruise Chaser, and Pepsi Man:
*Sure, Jan.*
I remember building a character in ESO to solo dungeons for the single reason DPS waiting time were to long. (and my friends don't play that much xD)
When your the only one doing shit small numbers matter way to fucking much.
Tell that to the magic pixel of health
Wasn't one of the first Epic of Alexander beats done literally from DOT after everyone got frozen by the end of raid instakill move?
Had Alexander hit enrage was about to use his party wipe attack and as the attack was hitting and the screen was turning black the last hint of damage clicked and won
Every drop of damage is worth it
@@gratuitouslurking8610 IIRC, yes, and there's also a BGM-only video where that happens.
"The boss flies out of melee range"

*Bard, Dancer, Red, Summoner, and Black Mage all give you stink eye*

@@icholi88 oh no, someone's playing a suboptimal class. Keep crying, it fuels me.
Aaaaand the weakness is doing less damage than every other dps role even if you play perfectly
- sincerely, a former MCH main now melee main
the "it's only one damage" thing just reminds me of the MAIN video for the Perfect Alexander music, in which the raid only clears at the end because the boss dies to a DoT tick after everyone is frozen and there's like two seconds left before everyone dies.
I remember that one, absolute pinnacle of raiding that is - _EXACTLY_ enough DPS to win!
The video in question for those who haven't seen it.
th-cam.com/video/JeKbCcq9gT8/w-d-xo.html
this used to a method for clearing Phantom train savage, put on dots at the last second and get caught by the ghost and wait out the dot ticks and hope for the best LOL
@@JuicedLeaf WOW you weren't kidding. Literally the DoTs kill him at the last second when by all rights it should be too late. :o
If it is damage, and it is safe to do so, you should be doing it.
Gonna paraphrase a certain elephant: Do your damange. Stand proud, stand tall. DPS is DPS no matter how small.
'The difference between an amateur and a master is that a master has failed many more times'. Thanks JoeCat!
The other day I heard "An expert is someone who has failed more times than a beginner has even tried."
It's "Jocat" but ok
@@nicolaspereyra420 It's JoCrap but okay
That must make me a master among masters jk.
That was a great line and a great picture to represent it.
I just love when jocat gets so mad the buttons on his neck turn to eyes and we see the eldritch horror behind the wiggly
Jocat: "Press the deal 1 damage at range button the entire time they are waiting."
Me as monk player: "What's this sorcery?" *spams Meditation and does some Form Shift dance move until the boss returns*
I feel like I'd want to play a last-minute-dash monk just so I can have an excuse to greed because I won't have a 1 damage at range button... But if I fail its on me for throwing hands at a god instead of using a weapon

@@NessaLaFresa if you're serious about it, please set up a link for all of us to go bananas on it because i honestly learned half of how to tank properly from jocat's video.
The other half was friend purposely not telling me mechanics and watching escape one aoe only to trap myself in between three more aoes and watching me get vaporized like the good friend he is.
I rescued him directly into another aoe and we made our party wipe shortly a few weeks after. It was deserved.

I NEEED A HERO
Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods...?
@@marcusalm7350 Where is the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds...?
I've been watching a bunch of reactions to this and I'm absolutely baffled by the amount of people admitting they don't actually read what their abilities do.
How does that even work? How do you not thoroughly inspect every new ability to see where it's gonna fit in your rotation? Are people literally just mashing anything that isn't on cooldown and hoping for the best?
Yes. Normies don't put in work for their entertainment.
The first thing I do after EW drops is delete every skill off my hotbar and reassign every skill into a position that makes sense with the new changes. Adapt the priority of skills that have become more or less important, make space for new icons to where they fit into the rotation. It's a lot of fun, up until the point I butterfinger all of them anyway and try to Esuna the boss like a dingus.
@@MrBCWalker01 BUT WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR SHINY NEW BUTTON DOES?!?!?! isn't seeing just how much stronger you got as of 5 seconds ago entertainment to these people? O.O;
@@arieltimeshrine8137 considering that he's saying "normies" I'm willing to assume that he very much enjoys seeing what his new shiny button does and detests people who don't.
@@ILiekFishes i am commenting on said normies as he is. :p
"Oh FINALLY, my queue just popped."
I felt this SO hard!
"Read your tool tips"
Honestly the best advice ever to give some people. I still remember that tank that told my friend that rampart makes you take more damage and that's why he wasn't using it.
Really? I wonder how common this mindset is? I main as a tank but when I play healer or DPS the amount of tanks I see even in expert roulette that don't ever mitigate is embarrassing. Then of course they blame you when they die to a tankbuster or you just can't keep up on a wall-to-wall.
What do people think those skills are for? Why would there be a skill that makes you take more damage and does nothing else?
Some people really are idiots. lol
@@KotCR I get what you're saying, I do. but JoCat touched on this in the video about those mitigations, "But what about those long cooldowns?"
same advice for tank cooldowns, most of them are short enough that if you space them out well enough and with good control, you can almost always have a CD up during mob pulls.
Honestly, what I tell newer tanks in dungeons is that:
"Most of the dmg a tank takes is actually during trash pulls... bosses don't do all that much comparatively (even tank busters), So try to use your heavy CDs one after the other during mob pulls, and you'll find out that if the healer can do more dmg the faster the dungeon run can go."
@@MekamiEye Yeah I know, I wonder if these players are stuck in a "reactive" rather than "proactive" mindset. Where they think they are only to be used in emergencies, but they're not, with the exception of perhaps the Invul skills (even then, I feel Pally's should get comfortable using Hallowed Ground the same as any other mitigation, seems as there is no downside to it, and getting it on CD earlier means you can use it again sooner).
I think so many tanks need to learn that the whole point of mitigation skills is to prevent you getting to critical health in the first place; Not as a response to being in critical health. At that point it won't save you anyway, 20% mitigation will not stop a tankbuster killing you if you are already at 20% HP. They need to learn to use it before it hits when they are at full HP so they're HP never drops below 50%. The healer can easily top them up with an oGCD or regen then. Of course, wall-to-wall pack pulls are scarier to keep up with than any tankbuster when the tank refuses to use mitigation.
The sad thing is it seems alot of tanks follow the advice of "always wall-to-wall" without employing the advice that has to go with it to play that way which is to "always be mitigating" (on trash pulls anyway).
@@MekamiEye Even better, every tank has multiple defensives, so they can cycle through them.
I was playing DRK and I didn't bother dodging an aoe that silences players during a pull because "TaNkS dOn'T hAvE sPeLls". As it turns out, most of the drk gcd's are spells. My healer and I only had moments to revel in that new discovery before they dropped like a sack of hammers.
Tooltips save lives
5:24 and healer mains everywhere clapped.
Also when the inevitable happens and you decide to stop and see what the floor tastes like so a healer has to pick you up and pour you back into your shoes, don't start casting the second you come back alive.
Give the healers time to recognize you have accepted the resurrect and drop some heals on you. You are invulnerable for 5 seconds on resurrection, or until you start casting. If you start casting, that barrier goes away and your fractional amount of HP is potentially exposed to the harsh elements and sharp pointies.
Just like in Monster Hunter, you sit there, contemplate the meaning of life, and enjoy your s. Find the nearest healer bubble and make a cup of tea until you are back at over half health.
You can even delay accepting the resurrect for a bit if it is a really bad time.
tmw you've been a healer main for years, and you never knew your delicate DPS had an invulnerability period...
Man, I almost wish I'd never known, because now I'm recalling the infinite number of times I've raised an overeager DPS only for them to die immediately as they begin casting in an AoE puddle....
that's... good to know.
You actually have a *lot* of time to delay accepting the raise. It gives a full minute!
Yeah... I'm glad that some people wait a moment before accepting my res... but holy shit does it cause me to panic. Like, are they salty and just refusing it? Nah, I'm sure they're just riding out this boss mechanic, right? ...right?
I'm also that bad DPS that as soon as i see the res button I'm like, "LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO," and then res into a meteor. Or, I forget that if i accept the game's res, I'm locked out of the fight. I'm, a decent healer main, but as DPS, I'm sure my healers LOVE me.
Also, thinking about this as well... So, part of the anxiety I have about ressing others, is that when things are going on, I'm ususlly not watching to make sure that swiftcast and ascend go off correctly. I throw ascend out, and then, move on to whatever needs to be done next.
So, if anyone would like a more noticable audio queue I thought of this macro.
/ac "Name of whatever"
/echo
/micon "Name of whatever"
So, I've no doubt that someone will come around and be like, "Uhm, actually, macros are bad. Mmmmmkaaaay," and you know what? I say it depends on what and how you're using them. If you're mindful of their short comings, then, depending on your use, they can be super helpful. Should ypu string all your attack combos together into a macro? I wouldn't advise it. Should you string swiftcast and your res together? I wouldn't advise it. But, I use a macro system that lets me multi task extremely well while dpsing, and as long as I'm mindful of how it works, It's not failed me.
The most important skill for a DPS to master is patience. Waiting for a 20 minute queue vs a tank 2 minute queue will make or break you.
Healers: What's a "queue"? Is that the thing for the peons that don't get to decide who lives or dies?
I always try to queue when I'm doing beastman quests or the little sidequests for experience.
I usually do either beastman shenanigans or do crafter/gatherer stuff.
If I don't feel like doing those, I'll often run around like a doofus
That's what striking dummies are for.
This madlad actually managed to make a DPS guide-video before his dps Q popped... wait, actually, thats plenty of time
to watch it or to make it?
Both.
I was expecting DPS class talk throughs, but this is a beautiful surprise. That DPS queue at the end is literally what happened during my recent session XD
"Where were the heals!?"
That gamer moment will never not be funny.
Unless you're the healer...
@@Ailieorz no its still funny as the healer because then you control who lives and who doesn’t when they die for not doing mechanics
@@DiaRelent except now they ban you for purposefully letting people drop (yay for super strict ToS update...)
@@Aeririn It has to be proved, though, and that's a nuisance. If you never say you're going to intentionally let someone die, there's no way to prove anything.
Im almost certain thats quinn cameo
3:25 I recently saw a lot of people get really mad at the endwalker changes that make ranged skills for tanks and melee DPS more viable, such as how Piercing Talon for DRG no longer breaks combos, arguing that people will use it inaccurately so it's bad. I'd much rather have at least something to press to contribute in situations like the one in that clip.
that's odd, after all it'll just be an easy way for melee jobs to maintain dps easily, so it's super convenient.
though some other jobs like ninja and samurai will still benefit more from using the ranged/disengage skills they already have for higher DPS uptime while not at melee range.
Who's mad about that? They should grow a brain if they are.
@@camil-jr A certain group of people in this game will always find something to complain about. I remember when Shirk was introduced in Stormblood and there were a bunch of snobs saying that you shouldn't need the skill at all and if you use it you are a bad tank. Without considering the fact that if you use it then you can go straight back into dealing damage after a tank swap without having to worry about emnity.
Hearing him talk about everyone being expected to dps reminded me of a dungeon I did when I played Wow.
I was leveling my druid and was healing in a dungeon, no one was taking any damage so I switched to cat form and started attacking. The tank blew up on me telling me I shouldn't be fighting, despite the fact that no one fell under 90% life the entire time. When i ignored him and continued fighting the enemies he left.
As someone who has mained tank for the vast majority of his time in an MMO, I really hate that tank. The only time I get sweaty as a tank is if my HP is getting close to the one-shot zone, and even then I can probably chuck a cooldown at the problem if things get dicey. If no one is dying, contribute to damage so we can all get that sweet sweet loot faster.
No mistakes are made.
No problems at all in the world
Tank: Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Aki is just sitting her nodding sagely.
First rule of combat: you'd best deal damage or damage is being dealt to you

I felt that at the end. But 6 minute queue as a dps? Wild, I wish I had that luck.
Plot twist, he edited the video while he was waiting for a que
i like to think he has had the queue going since the first video.
He was probably queing for alliance raids.
**laughs in healer queue times**
He was probably queuing while he got all the video footage, and wrote the script, and edited.
Speedrunners would grasp the "always be casting" rule pretty well, especially Metroid speedrunners
There's a tech you can do in Metroid where you pump your gun arm up and down, and each time you do, it moves you one pixel forward. This doesn't seem like alot, but if you do it consistently throughout the run, it saves several seconds
Even if something is small, it'll eventually add up to something big
To elaborate on this more;
Metroid Speedruns are so tight now that if you DON'T do this, you're going to be minutes behind a world record.
And again; We're talking 1 singular pixel each time you do it, and it matters THAT much
@@steeledminer616 isn't it actually only one pixel every second shift? Like it's only during the transition from up to down but not down to up or vice versa
@@velvetbutterfly Yes but 1 pixel 16 times is 1 whole tile. 1 whole tile 100 times is an entire screen.
Over an entire run it adds up and it's literally required now if you're going for a world record due to how optimized it is.
@@steeledminer616 yes, I wasn't arguing that. It's just the "each time" specifically would be wrong
@@velvetbutterfly I mean... Each total arm pump is what I meant (From up to down to up again)...
4:50
Top tier moment. Never seen a Holes moment used so effectively in a joke. Well done. Big fan.
"Just note that the difference between an amateur and a master is that a master has failed way more times."
That's actually an especially great nugget of wisdom. I've been practicing martial arts for almost 19 years now, teaching part time for roughly 10, and I support this statement 100%. This goes hand-in-hand with one of my mother's favorite sayings, "We learn a lot more from our failures than we do from our successes."
Yesss ^^^
Of course, there are far to many people that don't care to learn from their mistakes, so failure alone does not a master make.
You have to be willing to learn. And then you have to learn the right lessons. And avoid learning the wrong lessons. You get stubborn enough about even any one of those factors and the failures start to look like successes to you and viceversa.
I grew up with "When we succeed, we learn one way of how to do it. When we fail, we learn many ways of how not to do it."
Not quite the same, but thought I'd share regardless.
The wonderful thing about teaching is that it forces you to address your own mistakes so that you don't pass them on.
As someone who's been playing FFXIV since 2.0, I cannot stress enough how ACCURATE these guides are, to the point where's it's almost a crime to call them "Crap" Guides. I vibe with the frustration of encountering players who seem to lack even the most basic understanding of their job, which can be gleaned even with just simply reading tooltips.
The persona in the guides is Jocrap instead of Jocat.
Thus, Crap guides.
"Reading the [thing] explains the [thing]" works for almost every game. MTG? Read the card. FF14? Read the spell descriptions.
@@Foxpawed ygo? read the card, then fail to use it anyway because you glazed over the whoop-dee-fuckin' *_when_*
@@hi-i-am-atan tbf, no one knows how to use pot of greed.
@@MekamiEye that's because they missed the timing when their opponent blew their chest open with a bullet dragon fired from their gun dragon, not to be confused with their dragon gun mech that does not and is physically incapable of firing bullet dragons but does do a lot of flipping
Don't forget...Traits can be just like gaining a brand spanking new ability. They take older abilities and change them to be better suited for that level. Some traits will drastically change an ability to be way different than before.
Literally watched this video while queuing as a bard and finally got a party right as the video needed, safe to say that ending made me do a double take
My favorite representation of that master vs amateur line was said like this: "Failure is just the path toward mastery. Fuck it up now so you don't fuck it up later."
“Even Scathe”
*terrified Black Mage noises*
My genius-ass slapping Scathe with no other free-casts available during the longest pull known to man: *CAN'T RELATE*
Scathe is personal preference only. It's not necessarily optimal at all times, sometimes doing nothing is fine. Plus in endgame stuff, BLMs have too much dodging to do to care to scathe.
I can't actually think of a reason to use scathe on a boss at level 80. If you're playing BLM right you should always have at least one of the following available: thundercloud proc, firestarter proc, swiftcast, triplecast, at least 1 polyglot. ALL of these are far better options for instant casts than scathe and don't even cost mana.
If you're dodging so many mechanics that you don't have enough instant-casts to possible keep DPSing, it's better to just transpose to ice and Umbral Soul a few times so that you can start a full fire phase as soon as the boss chills out rather than wasting all of your MP on scathes when it does less damage than a single Fire IV.
@@Adu767 yeah legit it's only for the end of pulls where you wanna slap an enemy in the face one last time, or during a pull _iff_ you have no instacast abilities or spells on-hand. It's basically an autoattack to me.
@@MrSmegheneghan an auto attack that eats your GCD and wastes your mana
And once again, JoCrap is the best NPC despite being a player character. His reach knows no bounds.
I'm surprised you didn't go into this JoCat, but Potency is a huge deal, it's essentially an objective number for how strong a move is, as it's then modified by all of the other nonsense that makes up a character. Potency gives a player the ability to build heuristics for good ability use (I played Ninja, knowing when to use which jutsu was super important and I derived all of it from just reading the potency for each skill) and sequencing.

what I love is that these are actually genuinely good guides for the game beyond just being funny, silly comedy videos. I think that's pretty rad
Crisis Core, and basically every JRPG, taught me to always be damaging, even when healing and buffing make sure each turn does at least one point of damage.
also, make sure your dot is up, every healer has one(areo/bio/combust), and its instacast, so you dont have the long cast excuse, if you do nothing else, those will keep doing something, and be sure to reapply .

TFW he decided that subtlety was beyond DPS-brain (aka, me) and decided just telling it straight was the better alternative.

This is basically EVERY rant I've ever made to myself about bad party members. There's a couple for tanks specifically (don't run around like a jackass, keep the enemy steady for positionals) and healers (I had one 'pure healer' who also ONLY CAST MEDICA....he was just a jack ass on purpose.) but 90% of all bad players in the game would be drastically improved with JUST this knowledge and listening to it. Always press buttons, dodge AOE's, do combos, yes even the tanks and healers, learn what your buttons do. I wouldn't even say the practice part personally though I'm sure its far more important for the real hard raids but I avoid those due to stress problems and the people I've interacted with doing them.
Welcome to every JoCat guide.
I think this was the general DPS one. The specific DPS classes will come later.

A general tip for doing damage as healer: Glare/Malefic/Broil costs less mana than Raise, and if you've had to pick the same person up seven times in a single fight, it deals more damage, too.
Do take the time after the fight or between wipes to see if they need help, though. Friendly advice is free, and can save you up to 2400 mana per minute in some fights. Just try to keep it salt-free, or they might not listen.
And now a general tip for... Everyone, actually! When you get raised, don't press any buttons and you will have five seconds of invulnerability. Please take advantage of this, because you might accept a raise in the middle of a healer's GCD and need to wait up to three or four seconds for a heal spell to reach you. We can't heal you immediately after picking you up, because there's a raising animation, and you're briefly untargetable. It's not that we're ignoring you. Well, most of us aren't. But it does take some time for you to accept the raise, the animation to play, and you to become targetable for that heal that will make sure you don't die to an incoming raidwide.
Caviot: some raidwides ignore rez immunity so if you know its coming wait on the rez timer so you don't die immediately
That's a good point, and a welcome addition. Thank you!
@@jingo4754 hahahahahaha.....fuck those boss's. >.< I've consistently been caught out at least once where I've ressed and immediately eaten the one attack they have that goes through invincible.... And another time I've some how raised and went truly invincible through and attack meant to kill everyone for failing a mechanic and then LB raised my party and got up all three parties. That's happened....at least twice on different bosses, my friends started making jokes that I just refuse to die on healer.
@@Sandman382 i mean, as a healer our job is to deny death the privilege of reaping our souls and anyone elses.
Problem is at higher tier raids its not even good to slow cast a raise.
I once had a moment when I precasted raise on a party member and managed to rouse the other healer from a party wipe. They used our healer LB3 and we won. Best day ever
lmao at the literal gun you put as the pic for the Sage damage buff at 1:15. It took me several viewings to notice but I love these little hidden details in your videos.
"Every Job is DPS" is both a true statement and the name of the FC I'm in lol
that 1 damage is the difference between skipping that mechanic that literally no one can do right and wipe. savage raiders know how often they wiped and saw a disband because of 1% damage. and btw ideally the healers will contribute around 10% of the raid DPS if they did everything right, so a healer slacking on DPS can totally be the reason for the wipe.
@@XCodes that depends, for example if there is no damage down, taking damage for more uptime is totally worth it, the extra uptime will almost always do more damage than the GCD/OGCD the healer will have to waste on you, the problem is that in savage almost all dodgeable mechanics do damage down. sometimes its even worth it for the healer to adjust, like waste a GCD to position in a way that your BLM can jump on you so they can fully use the leyline and dodge mechanics with minimal uptime lost. I actually find these micro optimizations one of the most fun parts of playing hard content.
Ruby ex: seeing anything after the meteors fills me with dread because I've only ever had to actually do them once. Usually the boss dies before the move starts so never practiced it and have no idea what to do for it
@@pentagonofpeople one word, cycles
cycles in e11s is basically enrage.
@@danilooliveira6580 cycles is personally my favorite part of the fight, but honestly I can definitely sympathize with pretty much treating it as enrage. I don't do much raiding outside of my static nowadays simply because PF can't be trusted to do mechanics some days lmfao
skip soar or disband
I can not express in words how much I love your drawings of Bahamut, they put the biggest smile on my face every time I see them.
You know a boss is insanely tough when they have Bionicle hands.
I love how this is less a guide for DPS mains and more a PSA for everyone to dealing your freaking job for Damage
Honestly I need help in both 😂
1:17 I love how when you show the Sage's tooltips, you have your 'obvious handwritten skill descriptions'; but then you ALSO have the actually-well-photoshopped alteration of the skill 'Phlegma' into 'Phelgmaballs' right there as well :P
I would very much welcome more videos in this style, absolutely gold.
This is so good that I’ve seen every old and new content creator for ffxiv do a reaction vid to this. Grats man well deserved.
The "Read all your tool tips" advice is the same as "Reading the card explains the card" in Magic: The Gathering.

Keep being awesome and shoutout everyone on MaxPoetic's stream who saw even earlier than Jo's stream

JoCat, thanks so much for making the memes reach new levels of elevation. I'm a White Mage main for the last 6 years, and only started DPSing when my FC wanted to try prog for savage and we had too many healers and tanks XD I also used to ascribe to 'Healers are supposed to heal', but never actually did that because I would often DPS between cures and Medica II. Watching your videos has brought me a lot of joy and laughter. It's super fun to see more people playing and learning about the game that has been my home from home for so long, especially when I have been living on the cusp of homelessness more than a few times in the last few years. Thanks for making approaching endgame even more vibrant and easy to understand for players.
The one thing I wonder if you'd cover is the benefits of Min ilevel vs normal content running for new players. I think it'd be fun, but I'm not sure how it would be approached comedically, other than see enrage more often XD
I love how the emotes and voice lines are synced up!
Will admit, was expecting three versions of these for each of the DPS groups/jobs but this works too :P
This is arguably more important. With the recent influx of new players, I've qued up with lots of sprout healers that never deal damage.
I think he's planning to do that as well, hence the asterisk by the title
Oh, we probably are getting that. He is probably waiting for the changes to go through first.
@@XieronDraxin Honestly I think a crap guide to specific jobs would be the next videos.
Hope he does more, but to be honest about the only things I could think to add to Magic and Ranged DPS is this; "Remember the G**D**M Healing guide, STAND Closer you numbnuts!" and "Slidecast isn't a recommendation, it's a FREAKING Survival TOOL!"
maybe something about not yeeting thyself off the arena edge?
As a new Free Trial Dragoon with no friends, the "always use abilities" tip actually helps a lot. I wondered before why Jump didn't CD alongside the other basic skills and thought my eyes were just playing tricks on me.
As a Dragoon Main, always use your ogcd abilities unless its backflip
@@funnyvalentine6670 gonna be real with you, i don't think this is gonna help someone who has not yet caught onto the existence of ogcds
And you want to make sure you hit those OGCDs while the GCD clock is running, but not so late in the clock that you can't use another skill to keep the clock running until the animation finishes (like jump).
Using OGCDs in between GCDs is called "weaving", having an OGCD run over and make it so you can't use your GCD for a bit is called "clipping", and if your connection is good you can "double weave" things like Blood For Blood and Battle Litany, but your animation is too long for things like Jump, which can only be a "single weave". So doing max DPS on a melee is all about how you keep your GCD running and weave your OGCDs between them without clipping.
Just in case you see someone talking about that stuff and didn't know what they meant.
@@oceandark3044 can buff ogcds even clip? i mean, jump obviously can and i think i do feel bloodletter and etc. causing my gcds to buffer, but i'm not sure if it's ever happened with my buffs and i'd find it pretty odd if they did, since they get their animation canceled by _walking._ like, yeah, "animation locks" don't actually have to _lock your animation_ per se, but near i can tell clipping exists solely to limit the amount of animation canceling that goes on, which ... sure, fair enough, it can look p. dodgy, but if an animation has lower priority than basic movement yet still clips your actual combat buttons ...
also feel like calling it b4b around peeps who admit to being new to the game is just gonna cause confusion, common parlance or no
( heh, par _lance_ )
@@hi-i-am-atan They actually CAN! There is a certain amount of the animation of just about every skill that will always stop you from doing pretty much everything. Now, it SHOULDN'T because they're so fast that it shouldn't be a problem. But it can happen if you, for example, try to triple weave.
That queue pop at the end was so on point. Love it
As someone who just started playing this game, this is fantastic. I’m going paladin soon and am very excited for when I get to finally show off my shiny shit at the Limsa Lominsa Aetheryte Plaza. Because yeah wow that is a universal thing huh
Broke: Making a guide about the dps role
Woke: Making a guide for every role that tells you how you can improve dps no matter what you play.
Which DPS? Melee DPS (4 jobs)? Ranged DPS (3 jobs)? Or perhaps caster DPS (3.25 jobs)?
@@HenshinFanatic he made a video for each weapon in MH World, so.. why not all of them?
Wow what a great surprise birthday present to me as a DPS Main! :DDD
-------
ok for reals; it took me a while to fully understand what it means to be a decent DPS. Like most first-timers, I thought I should just know how to hit things effectively; but the more I played (and playing healer on the side) the more I would see some people not applying their dots, really seeing the whole "a dead DPS does no DPS" thing in full effect, and overall recognizing the importance of all roles doing their share of DPS.
When an alliance/trial have a majority experienced-DPS, I was blown away at how fast we can get through something - I just...REALLY underestimated the speed that things can be completed in when a majority of the DPS play their roles to the same standard we tend to hold the other two roles in.
(edited typos)
This. It doesn’t matter what the mechanics are really, just because DPS is the simplest role doesn’t mean it is so easier to do RIGHT; it just means there’s less parts to put together. If the quality of the parts are crap, it doesn’t matter how simple something is, it’s still going to be crap.
Happy Birthday
I absolutely love the Lake having the reflection in the intro.
yo man, you were on point with the red light in philly analogy
Kinda sad that we didn't get to hear your descriptions for the DPS classes like we did for the Tanks and Healers...
Give it time. Remember this video was "DPS" not "DPS classes" like his tank and healer videos were.
Yea, besides the basic rotations so many jobs play differently, and the casters... 2 minute opener...

"Oh finally, my que just popped" ....this was...strangely accurate for DPS, especially since the new player boom since Asmongold streamed the game. Loved the vid, keep it up^^
6:26 love this part, and I know I shouldn't take this seriously but it is absolutely hilarious when he says this.
I don't get the queue joke - are they long because of everybody or nobody playing DPS?
@@Stratelier DPS ques have been long, 20 minutes or so, but ever since Asmongold streamed FFXIV and gave the game a newbie boom DPS ques are about....5-6 minutes long. The Video was about a DPS que long

"but its only 1 dmg"
*E8s enrage* : Sure, Jan.
I cannot express the level of joy these guides bring me. Truly these are the cure for depression.
As always sublime video Jocat.
Your D&D videos were good. The FF videos are so good I have to tell everyone about them!
Really love the realism in these guides. Thanks and i genuinely hope you keep making more FF14 videos. They are on point.
First *almost * clear of E12S, the boss enrage wiped with less than 20k health. Literally one more attack from anyone, even healers or tanks, and it woulda died. Everyone's dps is important. Use those cooldowns.

The queue pop at the end was perfect lol.
JoCrap: *sighs* yes, even scathe.
Me, who's been diving into Black Mage the past: HOW FUCKING *DARE* YOU SIGH AT MY BEST SKILL?
.... As a BLM main, fuck scathe. I still use it, but fuck it.
- _ - I wish it was a OGCD skill and not a GCD that can get in the way of refrshing my Eno-chan. A BLM life is his Eno-chan, what will I have if I can't make the world around me go boom.
In truth, it is a good skill to use when you are forced to move. Though if I am learning a fight I tend to use it less because I am busy learning the timings of a fight and not focused on the tiny button for it on the far side of my hotbars.
@@ashaatarins9273 The reason I find Scathe so fantastic is simple: it's a finisher. It's not great for bosses, because, you know, you kill them ONCE. But in a dungeon, I can look at a monster with low health and just use scathe to snipe it and kill it on the spot.
it's a simple math: my quickest spell will take at least 1.5s to cast, plus the animation end, plus travel time. Scathe is instant cast, instant hit. If I know it'll kill the monster, I'll use it instead of spending time casting Frozen or something with an AOE.
Although, I do agree, if Scathe was on OGCD it'd be soooo much better.
THAT FINAL JOKE. WAS SO GOOD.
1:31 Jocrap looking at the dvd's with the serious look on his face is priceless.
OMG that was so good! I lover the ending! can't say the number of times I have said that.
