I Became The WORST FFXIV Player



Someone already completed every achievement and became the best Final Fantasy 14 player before I could. I decided I would be the worst FF14 player ever instead.

Sit back, sip on your fantasia and enjoy!

  1. Pro Tip for Tanks: You can dodge auto attacks from enemies, especially bosses, by rapidly repositioning yourself. The best method is to run straight through the boss to their rear, or else run circles around them so they have to keep spinning around to try and find you. You will get complaints from melee party members like "I can't do my positionals" or "You're getting people killed by cleaves!" These players obviously are new and don't know what they're talking about. First of all, if you don't want to get hit by the boss, stand away from it and use your ranged attacks! All the good healers and casters know how to do this, follow their example and spread out. Second, ranged attacks don't have positionals, so you won't have to worry about DPS loss!
    If the boss arena is particularly large, you can kite the boss around the outer perimeter to reduce damage. Use Arm's Length to affect them with Slow status so they can't keep up with you.

  2. Communication is really important when you're in a party! Make sure you have a macro tied to each ability where you announce it in chat, that way the group always knows what you're doing! Don't be afraid to spice it up with some flavor, I'm sure it'd be hilarious if you had Naruto-themed chat macros for your Ninjitsus!

  3. A few weeks ago I had a tank in Thaleia that loved to share his aoe tank busters with us DPS. I only died about 4 times because of him ^^'
    Unfortunately he wasn't in my group so I couldn't give him the commendation.

  4. You forgot something: Always collect these shiny badges of honor with increasing numbers. Those are vulnerability up stacks or damage down stacks, i. e. you deal more damage or take less damage. You need as many of them as possible to clear content efficiently.

  5. Remember if you’re Black Mage, your only job is to do DPS, everyone else can worry about mechanics and the healers should be able to to their job and keep you alive for MAX DAMAGE!

    This will sound incredibly stupid, but it worked EVERY time.
    I used to tell people in the moggle mog fight. That if we DO NOT DANCE during the phase transition, we would all die.
    When people were too stuck up to listen? Guess what? we died. When they finally danced the second time, we breezed through it!
    (This was, of course, before they nerfed the fight into oblivion. Now a blind deaf comatose labotomy patient could do it! (and not feel your anger!)

  7. I want to do harder content, but I think I have a mental or physical problem preventing me. I did Zeromus as my first ever extreme outside of ARR amd even though it was easy enough to clear multiple times, my brain didn't like it because I would hyperventilate, shake, my heart would race much faster than it should. There's a huge disconnect, my brain thinks I'm in real danger or something. I don't know what I could do to fix this

  8. My first character through, I was 50 tank without an advanced class. =)
    Edit: I read a thing that healers and tanks never use LBs… so I never put it on my bars for those classes. Sooooo yeaaahhhh. =D

  9. Yeah if the stack marker is red and red orbs circle above it, always remember to partystack! Especially healers

    If you’re a Reaper, use both True North stacks when in Enshroud, and refresh after each hit not to have it drop
