All three ranged DPS are performers:
The bard performs music
The Dancer performs dances
And the Machinist who preforms crimes
Machinists perform repairs and tune-ups... and sabotages the enemy boss' car like Dick Dastardly in Wacky Races...
@@SeedlingNL so... yeah, Crimes.
@@ashinox Even if the race itself is highly illegal and done with vehicles that wouldn't pass inspection?
@@SeedlingNL They still commit crimes.
Musician, Dancer, and Roadie.
Here when the title says “Final Fantaqsy”
Same!
I saw it too XD
Same

*HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?*
And getting Zenos' voice actor to do a line, hoping it'll be done right to he put in the video. But yeah, looking forward to the Dancer song.
Don't forget how Dancer AOEs have four different patterns requiring you to move around like a maniac to hit everything during your combo. Point Blank circle, targeted circle, cone, and line. Can't wait for 7.0 to give us a donut AOE.
That's the dance, baby ;)
[Donut] [Please] [Culinarian]
Man, dancer have EVERY AOE type.

jocast + lucy pyre crossover when
@@luiz8755 wait lucypyre was in this?
She wasn’t. They are asking for a collab.
Totally agree with you there Dawnway :P
"Like an indecisive artist in a hobby lobby" I felt that in my soul
I laughed way too hard at that line because it's so true.
I'm glad I'm not the only one XD
Cries because there is no decent hobby shop left in the entire effing country 😭
Don’t forget: it is your sacred duty as a Phys Ranged DPS to stand as far away from the healer as humanly possible for no reason. That way when they try to AoE heal, they will also have to give you your own separate special band-aid as they grumble and secretly wish they could reassemble drill your ass into oblivion. Bonus points if you’re so far away that the healer can’t even use any heals on you.
Time to use the baby leash (Rescue) 😂
On occasion a RDM will take up the holy station as That Asshole Across the Arena, should a physical dps not be available.
This is why I always stand right next to the healer. I become their annoying shadow
I did potd with my siblings a few days ago practising my summoner. I, in fact, was always out of healing range during boss fights XD
I do what I can 🫡
"Faster than PETA when they see a stray" JoCat's DPS game is truly on point
that sentence was not a DPS, that was just an one shot kill
Better call Steven He because that was some EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
It's an enrage timer reduced by 99,9%
Talks so fast I've watched the video twice and haven't heard that line yet.

also if enough people order gamersupps I might get a waifu cup :3
you guys would like that right? me on a cup?
I donno, anyway thanks for the patience
You know I was just thinking about if you will get a cup when I saw the ad for gamersupps. And I would in fact buy that cup.
I'm getting a tub with your code. Already a supps drinker. If you got a shaker oooooo boi.
Theoretically speaking, what outfit would you be wearing?
I have been meaning to try that Waifu Candy flavor 🤔
If only the IP gods would smile and allow it to come with a wiggler straw...

The Machinist's neutral special, he wields a *G U N*
Black Mage: "I cast Fire IV"
White Mage: "I cast Stone IV"
Machinist: "I cast gun" *slams revolver on table*
Both Magi: "Wuhhhhh"
In the words of the Great Engineer: "And if that don't work, USE MORE GUN."
@@calebevans9562 Blue Mage: "I cast (Giant Iron) Fist"
Also missiles, bombs and Knife
Flashback to Joker reveal in smash and me dying from laughter. This has the same energy.
@@calebevans9562 As a black mage, I can say with confidence the response is: 'Okay, but how big is the Kaboom? Is it particularly, you know, earth shattering? How much BANG, exactly, are you getting for your buck?'
Black Mages are here for one thing, and one thing only, and that thing is great balls of fire.
One thing I genuinely like about the Ranged DPS is that you feel like a dancer, engineer or bard in terms of pressing buttons.
Bard like playing music, has a steady beat your cycle through like a time signature, with flashes of flair based on your procs. While dancer is like going full improvised dancer, going as the "passion" does, and follow the flow, rather then adhering to a ridged machine format like the Machinist does. Where every tool is made to be used at a specific time in a specific sequence (in a good way).
As a Dancer main, this is exactly how I feel, too. I feel like my fingers are dancing across the keyboard (Granted, I guess that's more about my keybindings, but still)
like sincerely, as a bard main I have gotten into the best groove when I can sync up my GCD press with the beat of the background music
@Valor6 Feels just as good on controller!
@@SylviaViridian Yessssss! Same with dancer!
As someone who started and ended msq with archer/bard, I never thought of my rotation like a beat, but in retrospect, that is actually a great way to describe it!
"endangered species" as a descriptor for dots is incredibly apt, especially since I really wouldn't be all that shocked if they took them away from BRD in 7.0
Its a shame cause i like dot classes
I kinda liked seeing all the dots an allience raid boss had and thinking about the no good bad day they are having
@@treedude4246 Ideally they would put said dots on something like a Green Mage. Y'know, a Final Fantasy class that has traditionally had some sort of DoTs in their toolkit. I've never understood why two iconic classes like Bard and Summoner even had the things as a core part of their damage rotation to begin with. But I am also fairly traditionalist when it comes to Final Fantasy, so many wont agree with me. Don't get me wrong I love classes like the Reaper and Sage, but if Square is going to use iconic classes that have regularly appeared in previous titles the least they can do is make an actual effort to keep the theme of said class similar to previous titles.
Yalls right, I haven't looked at everything but the only DOT I know of is on the paladin, which is a AOE DOT with a potency of 30
@@solaris8260MNK has one, Demolish, which they can apply when in Coeurl stance. And WHM has Aero/Dia, which lasts 30 seconds so it should usually be up unless they really can't squeeze it in because everyone is standing in the fire. I haven't played every class yet so I'm sure there are others.
A video so ranged its standing 8 months away from the other Final Fantasy guide videos! Well done Jocat at capturing the spirit of the class!

"Running around like an indecisive artist at Hobby Lobby!" I love it 😂
Same, it was so me the first time I went to one. XD
I died at that comment. lol
More like Michael’s, as I wouldn’t be caught dead in a hobby lobby.
@@RJ.the.artistBut Hobby Lobby gives away so much free stuff with their minimal cameras and no scanners because lasers are Satan or something
Feel so called out, its like he found me in the Hobby Lobby, and glued a neon sign onto me . . .
Playing dancer really is just doing all the spinnies in the world and watching your new best friend and temporary life partner dps #1 do the thing you should be doing while you aggressively flip coins in the background hoping for those sweet sweet fourfolds. I love it so much.
l put my hamster in a sock and slammed it against the furniture
@@TippyHippy Did it make you win more coin flips?
“The gimmick of the ranged dps is that you don’t have to worry about any positionals or cast times and can run around like an indecisive artist in Hobby Lobby.”
I did not come here to be called out in such personal and accurate detail. 😰
(JK, as a bard main I’m lmao at this. 😂Amazing job as always JoCat! ❤)
When he low key called them supports I laughed hard. Ranged used to be only bard and bard's LB used to be a healing one. The songs also used to buff your allies by far larger amounts. Hell the mage's ballad used to increase mana regen for the group.
I’ll never forget the Dancer job quest. Usually the job quests bored the hell out of me but I went through them just to get the job, but Dancer’s made me stop and enjoy every second of it
I especially loved the call back to FF9 with the dancer theme being the chocobo hot & cold theme.
Drag forth the audience's deepest fears and regrets into a manifested mass and dance it to death!
I enjoy the Dancer quest too but I most enjoyed the darkknight Level 30-50 quest. But every Job quest is good when you like it:)
@@craigfunk3453 I played so much Chocobo Hot & Cold that I keep expecting to hear the "wark" of finding the item.
The job quest was okay, but what i really liked was the Dancer's capstone quest at 80.
Yeah, dancer does a good job of justifying itself.
They are basically societal surgeons, and they learn how to fight because...well... just ask any sage. The tumors around here fight back when you try to cut them out.
I see JoCat, I click. TIL Queen has multiple settings. She's always just been drilling me.
😂
Now try Vibrate
Everything with Machinist was great, and Dancer was perfect with the musical interludes! Can't ever get enough of this, Jocat! And can't wait for you to do my main with Magical Ranged DPS!
I can't wait for him to release the full song.
As apposed to magical melee dps? :P
@@Kerberlos GIVE ME MYSTIC KNIGHT ALREADY SQUEENIX, YOU COWARDS!
BLUE MAGE! BLUE MAGE! BLUE MAGE!
i was not ready for the sexual innuendoes for machinist
As a Dancer, I'm glad we got a whole song!
We're gonna need a Full version of it joCat!
I am overjoyed to see the ranged dps get their time to shine. If I do nothing else, I'm going to make sure the party's foes hear some instruments of destruction, even if it's 'sailor moon theme set to gun'
AC/DC used an entire battery of cannons during a live concert, so it has been done at least once.
You know you now have to do a full version of that little Dancer ditty like you did for Spooky Slice, right? JK, love Dancer, favorite ranged class, super fun!
I like dancer too. The visualls are just sooo nice!
Same. Of the three rDPS, Dancer clicked with me the most. I want to be the prettiest princess at the ball and DANCER LETS ME LIVE OUT THAT FANTASY!
@@warmachine5835 Yeees! I really want to play dancer more but it is haaaard to level a dps.... Any advice?
Best range limit break 3 too. It just sounds so good when it hits.
As someone with all regular classes at 90, the best way to level a class is to do your roulettes and do fates/ beast tribes while you wait on queues. That's honestly the long and short of it. Everything else is just how much time you're willing to put into it.
As a Dancer main :
Yes.
All of it.
As someone who started with archer, and beat endwalker with Bard, you were completely accurate in your description. Haven't played much Machinist in a bit, but that also sounded really accurate. We may not hit as hard as others, but we still get the job done. Great video as ever!
Joseph, a suggestion:
For your Magic DPS video, PLEASE, pander to all the 8-Bit Theater fans and introduce Black Mage with the memorable line, "You are the Black Mage, you casts the spells that makes the peoples fall down!"
You would have NO idea how ecstatic that would make so many of us!
given how humor friendly the ffxiv writing is, im amazed I haven't seen a 8bit theater reference yet.
this “guide” series actually got me to give the trial a shot a few days ago, so I’m glad it’s still going! I picked arcanist and will probably continue into summoner as I too am a pee-fearing coward. I shall now return to running errands for random strangers and spamming energy drain/fester at various low-level enemies, thank u jocat
I'm glad you enjoy it because to me that was the least fun job I've tried so far. Though I do like it for soloing Fates or hunts
Unlock scholar too, even if you don't plan to use it straight away Summoner and Scholar level up at the same time since they are linked to the same base class. So when you do decide to give support a go you will already have a leveled healer to try out.
@@Hammybread You don't have to actually have Scholar unlocked to get the extra levels, it'll be the same as your SMN level even if you only unlock it once you're 90
I have never played final fantasy and never plan to, but these are still incredibly entertaining even if i dont understand any of these words
ITS FREE (trial) and there is an associated meme that I will not be reciting.
Exactly. Won't ever play FFXIV, but I always love his crap guide videos!
"I like your funny words magic man."
It's ok, not everyone likes to do cool things.
you can always try out the free trial!
I'm so happy to see another one of these! Hope ya doin' well and I know the Magic DPS will be just as funny!
*I wonder if you'll even tackle Blue Mage*
I loved every single part of the machinist section. Specially the bullet sounds 😂
okay i wasn't expecting the dancer portion to be so catchy
He always saves the best for last!
As a bard main, much love for your ranged vid. You have mentioned that it’s hard work IIRC, so thank you for the effort and entertainment you continue to bring
Man, this channel has opened up so much, crazy how jocat is doing the same thing AND so much more. Kudos, kudos!
I love it when JoCat breaks into song, it's always catchy ^^
Out of all the phys ranged, he somehow made the one with the gun sound like the type to be caught in Limsa at 3am. Im not even mad. As a MCH main he perfectly summed up my two defining aspects. Bravo.
I see you're a man of culture as well.
I've seen the size of those cartridges, y'all are something for sure :P
@@adrianrandom3448 What can we say? We are proud of showing them off ;)
3:52 was not expecting to laugh that hard, that was perfect
They removed the whitemage staff from the outro a subtle reference to how Bard used to have a heal lb but had it removed.
Always love JoCat's frantic fast paced delivery in his video. Never slow down.
Here before the "Final Fantaqsy" typo in the title gets fixed.
It's probably not a typo
Dude fixed it in less than 7 minutes... lol
@@shadowflare9593 The man is elusive. What are his intentions? We scream, for we do not know.
Now there is a new error; the staff from the Healers episode disappeared from the end card!
"Faster than PETA when they see a stray" feels like a roast that I really shouldn't be laughing at as an ACTUAL animal lover, but it is so accurate!
not to get too of topic, but i back the aspca, peta is kind of the lunatic version of that, strident, fanatical and some of their policies are actively harmful to animals because of ideaology. you can love animals and still feel that peta does way more harm than good.
@@ryanweible9090 Yeah, I was just saying that PETA's crap isn't anything to laugh about in itself; sometimes not even going for strays, but kidnapping dogs out of people's yards that are chained up, and killing them, for one thing. So when I was calling myself an actual animal lover, I was overall saying in comparison to those idiots who just kill animals out of nowhere and even make up complete bovine crap like reasons not to shear sheep.
@@Daniel_Coffman ok, cool, got ya.
Love your videos! Also the mush reminded me I needed to make my breakfast so thanks!
Another fine entry into the series Mr JoCat and I love the reference to Total Eclipse of the Heart at the beginning. And the lyrics to Vamo' Alla Flamenco *chefs kiss*
I was just re-watching this series yesterday so you have some excellent timing. Love your work, JoCat.
I was personally thinking about getting back into final fantasy 14
As a ranged main, this felt personal... and it felt so damn good. o/
Delightful as always Jocat. I have a few friends trying to get me into FFXIV, so these actually help quite a bit.
Every time I watch these guides, I smile and laugh so much... but holy damn I nearly sprayed my drink everywhere when the MCH part started. Flipping bullet noises everywhere!
May I please use some your voicelines/quotes as alerts, because I loved this so much XD
Is so happy to see this, but the one I'm truly excited for is magic dps, because just hearing JoCat's take on those classes will be hilarious.
For black mage he just posts a link to pints 10,000 hours haha.
Can't wait for Dancer full version! Watched the Spooky Slice vid which got me into FFXIV, then eventually became a Dancer main. xD
I am not a FFXIV player at all but I love watching these whenever a new one drops. Jo, between the art, the animation, the gags, the range of voice performances and the _composing_ it's frankly getting a little rude how talented you are. Hope you keep it up!
Right after this video I played some music, but two frames from your outro glitched into the video, so I was listening to rock while the lizard man headbutted like crazy on a corner. Love it.
MCH plays Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture (the one with cannons), BRD adds lyrics, and DNC brings the vibes.
More music should feature the use of artillery! (Every true MCH agrees with this statement.)
FINALLY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! And as always, you did not disappoint! As a dancer main, I thank you!
I did not expect an addition this series, a pleasant suprise 🤣
I always enjoy the little musical performances that are sometimes spread over the videos. Finders crossed for a full rendition of the dancer song.
Thank you for this! I'm thinking ranged dps is gonna be my main category (why yes, I was a band nerd and had theater friends), so this is very helpful to get more perspective on the class. I love the transitions between the jobs too, lmao. Amazing work as always!! 💜
Ranged dps starts very dull compared to other dps classes, especially if you choose ranger/bard as your starting class; but definitely keep at it! Once they pass 50 and start getting more of their special moves they are a blast to play.
@@caosisaac I am indeed starting out as Archer! Currently level 18 and on MSQ level 15. I really like Archer so far, so I'm definitely keeping it going. I look forward to getting to higher levels for sure! Once I start unlocking those songs, that'll be a real treat.
@@mythicmysticmoon im glad you are enjoying it! Another special thing about bard you may already know that jocat mentioned is theyre the only class that can play instruments. What he also didnt (probably for legal reasons) mention is there are sites you can find where you can copy scripts to auto play certain fan created songs so you can put on grand performances if you want!
I dont have a bard yet myself but its close on my agenda to level and i plan on snagging a few harp or piano covers of some kingdom hearts songs to play at my leisure haha. The ranged dps i have the most experience with is my lvl 80 dancer.
@@caosisaac Yep! I'm super looking forward to getting my musical instrument. I, myself, play clarinet and already have a bunch of songs from video games and movies and such that I transcribed written down. So I have a good repitoire to go through. I'll definitely give those sites a look, too, to see what they have. Thank you! 💜
Never played a final fantasy game, but these are just too entertaining
...welp when you start playing atleast you will have knowledge instead of going in there blind and get gut punched
Yup
I mean there's a really good free trial for the first third of the game (a solid 100 hours or a lot more if you take it easy like I did).
3:20 Missed opportunity for a for a "tsundarrow" pun. Great vid!
I want you to know you made my day so much better. This series is just the best. Thank you.
Finallyyyyyy! I waited so much for the continuation of this series!!! "Just dreaming about him reaching the Magical DPSs hohohoh"
Fantastic work as always JoCat. Now i cant stop thinking if my Automaton Queen has that vibrate setting… or who put it there
Beautiful like always but I lost it at the Queen's 'multiple frequency settings' xD
Ahhh, this made a very stressful day much more managable. Thank you for your excellent timing.
Yup. Mch is my comfort class. It's my main job and I do story content with it. Because it's easy. And it does a lot of damage.
As someone who mains MCH for my ranged DPS that section of the video KILLED ME... Twice
I love the “total eclipse of the heart” reference you did in the beginning
These JoCat vids always put a smile on my face.
(mostly due to the completely unexpected bit of randomness in his monologue)
Thanks to SE for making two of three ranged jobs related to music, thereby encouraging people like JoCat to create a very music heavy guide! :D
Really love the guide! (That said, yes, ranged can stand wherever, but that bard backflip is still a joke. Rarely actually helps me because getting away from the boss is usually not an issue to begin with because that's not my place to be in the first place, and when AOEs drop all over the arena, getting away from the boss won't really help. Gimme dancer dash, let me gracefully accidentally dash over cliffs like a dragoon!)
I haven't stop laughing from the first second to the end. My god Jo, thank you
I had asked for it and I am so happy it turned out the way it did. You sir are a godcat ❤
Another amazing video, JoCat ❤️ Your videos always make my day so much better!
THIS WAS EVERYTHING I WAS HOPING FOR AND MORE! As a dancer main, gotta admit, JoCat is 100% spot on. 😆 The only thing I would add is the healing dance and shield samba can majorly save a party when the healers are struggling to get rezs.
Always love a Bard Jocat moment
you are simply incapable of missing a mark with these guides, JoCat🤩no matter how many times I watch this, I laugh just as strongly
I like that part about the ranged tax because I've definitely held top or second DPS slot with machinist due to keeping attacks rolling out like the conveyor belt of pain that I am
When the world needed him the most, he returns!
We are truly blessed to have you in our FFXIV community
This was so long in the making from the last
And I was very much not disappointed 😂❤
This video seems like it took a loooot of effort to make.
Really well done homie, played ffxiv back in the day, good times, check it out in Dec for a week or two, still neat but done and had my fun
Thanks for the trip down memory lane lol ^^
Almost spat out my drink when I saw halfheartxi in the video. Not only do I follow them, I've actually commissioned them more than once! 😂
3:24 Dang, JoCat. I’m here for Database. That song was so hype!!! OP of Log Horizon for anybody who cares to know.
As a ranged main in EW (though I play most classes), the description is spot-on! Great work on this!
Thank you for bringing this joy and wonder into my life.
"Put down bosses faster than PETA when it finds a stray"
Damn, you went straight for the throat.😂😂
Excellent as always! Thank you for the wonderful video, Cat of Jo ❤
I had a great time watcing, well done!
Oh man it's so nice to wake up to this video upload in the morning. Worth the wait. I'll gladly wait a year for caster dps
As a bard main, yeah this is accurate.
And Dancer definitely feels like I’m playing with a fisher price toy sometimes with how easy the rotation is XD
Not Jocat making an arrow a tsundare
Dude...I fuggin love your content. Thank you for for setting your song to one of my all time favourite FF tracks. Fekkin brilliant.
Im here for the dancer appreciation and was not disappointed.
Dancer is my favorite class so the catchy tune is very welcome
I can't be the only one who feels a sharp tang of jealousy when the Dancer picks the other DPS
You just gotta dps harder than the person they chose even without their buff, then they will know their mistake 😌
just laugh whenever you're higher enmity than their partner
I feel jealous when the Dancer picks the tank instead of me, the other Dancer. (Don’t do this!)
Fantaqsy. You might change it but I'll remember forever
So will the comments
The absolute shade of including a song for Dancer but not Bard
I love it
Those guides never disappoint thank you for this
to all ranged tho
plz move closer to the party
you won't get any AOE heals and and tanks can't pull things off you if the fight's in Garlemald and you're over in Ohio.
I really hope JoCat makes BLU its own separate video about how it is objectively the best and most fun job of them all, and not just a footnote in the caster video.
I must say, I do so love the smell of jocat videos in the morning.
🔧 MCH mains rise 🔧
Ah yes my favourite mmo, Final Fantaqsy XIV
