If you have a numpad on your keyboard a lot of these hotkeys are already bound (the numpad works as a virtual controller)
That toggleable hidden hotbar macro is a godsend. I had a duty specific HUD but this makes it so much less awkward to make things disappear! Now I can hide my shame, er, my job and emote icons at will ;__;
The Log Window Zoom function has always been something I thought only accessible for controller players, so this is a pleasant surprise.
OH, so you're Stormblessed, are you now?
How's it going over there on the Shattered plains?
oh damn even i with my 8.5k hours found something new in this video . great work ♥
That auto target setting sounds very useful in pvp.
The Pull Timer Action could be keybinded directly in the keybind option. It stores the last used value
There is one situation I can think of where you would not want auto-targeting and that is when everyone is waiting to start attacking an S-rank or A-rank mark, or when waiting for a countdown before starting a boss fight. If someone has auto-targeting toggled on and accidentally presses one of their attacking skills, it's an early pull and people are gonna be mad.
MOUSE SONAR!?!? Best tip, holy smokes
Me playing with a resolution of 5120×1440, Swaping jobs over the character menu, starting ready checks and countdowns over the menu. Watching a video over Ui managment.
Whm here. What would be nice is if after casting my shields it would stop freaking deselecting the tank…..ffs you got a fox for that annoyance?
I use controller layout btw
i wish i could give this more than one like
If you are using Dalamud, the Simple Tweaks Plugin has an option for the confirm button to select the 'yes' option in dialog boxes by default. It allows you to spam the confirm button to get through dialog boxes faster.
Watched for 8 minutes and none of these really applied to me as a controller players on a 300inch projector EXCEPT that center recast. Holy shit that was worth every second.
quick tip. you can short hand /countdown into /cd. so if you need custom pull timers for say someone in your party needs at least 15 seconds of prep (astro) vs no one in does. you can just /cd 10, /cd 15 or /cd 20
thanks for the hotbar macro suggestion!
too bad auto targeting enemy don't work if you are targeting a party member 🙂
That expanding chatlog is great to keep track of my ERP sessions!
Raid macros?
*Confused NA noises*
You can just use /cd 16 in chat instead, easy enough
Bruh I’m still pretty new to this game but really want to get into raids and stuff, your videos are a GODSEND. Keep up the great work buddy 👍
God i lose my cursor all the time. I'll have to check out that sonar
It is all great tips, i've been using a similar fuction like the ingame mouse sonar with the windows powertoys since i got a big screen so this is really usefull even outside the game.
Just had to wipe my compooper and reinstall FFXIV been spending alot of time in my settings and HUD so this should be helpfull thanks !
Your videos are always eye opening.. and I have been playing for 5 years. =D
Just stumbled across your videos, nice content! Even with 15k hours under my belt I still found something I wasn’t aware of. Thank you for highlighting the recast timer setting, that’s a godsend. Take my sub!
ctrl also make some stuff appears in first then other because well am a clicker so no keybind lol
@Confirm Keybind
I personally use Target Filters (X by default) to click on crowded npcs. It removes player nameplates and the ability to target them when held down, letting you click on any npc a beefy boy is on top of!
omg the mouse sonar thing is something i’ve been needing since the games launch. i find myself moving my mouse like crazy just trying to find the cursor during battle.
I recommend making a more advanced macro setup that uses hotbar copying to use less of your hotbars for jobs etc. That's 3 hotbars you're losing that could just as easily be a single hotbar with copy macros to swap between them.
For those who don't know, you can do a countdown by doing /cd 20 in ur chat window and it plays at 20 seconds. You can do /cd again to cancel it
As a newbie tank it has always been difficult to figure out how other tanks were hitting the countdown and stuff like waymarks so easily when it takes me forever to open the menu manually. I put the waymark ABCD on my disappearing hotbar for when I need them along with the basic target markers. It probably isn't enough for proper raiding, but it helps. I'll definitely give your countdown macro a try too.
