Chair: "Shield bash will never be used at level 80"
FF14: Laughs in Leviathan Unreal
Great video
This is awesome. Super helpful. I love Paladin because the number of times I've come in clutch with a cover on a sprout or becoming a healer when a fight goes south is actually higher than you'd think. I've found people often dont notice that you just covered them to save their life but ill definitely still be proud of myself for it. Also, passage of arms looks fucking sick. Can't wait to see what the next expansion brings, hope we get more of the signature supportive abilities that come in handy in a pinch, those are why I play Paladin. When the team thinks we should give up and restart I pull out the clemencys and tell them to keep up the DPS because god damn it we still got this!
I was mildly amused.
I have made it to level 70 only really know what half of my shit does, this really helped
Great guide, thanks!
Succeeding in a boss fight when the rest of the team is on the floor in a dungeon almost solely because of clemency is a sheer amount of serotonin I can't begin to describe
bruh, good vid
13:15 You're better off pulling with provoke, so you can immediately AOE the mobs without waiting for the GCD cooldown.
Also shield bash has some use if you get queued into low level dungeons. It lets you stun mobs one after another, reducing damage a decent amount. Can help for big pulls with rando healers or if you're leveling the class and aren't high iL yet. Definitely useless at 80 though. I didn't use it at all in E8S when doing it as PLD.
Just a heads-up; this video isn't in your class guide playlist
2 Things people generally don't know about Veil, it is generally stronger than shake if applied to a non tank. why? because Veil is based on the Paladin's HP while Shake is based on the HP of the person receiving the Shake, so on a non tank veil is a stronger shield (assuming everyone is roughly the same ilvl).
another thing SCH's fairy can proc veil with its' passive heal embrace
Dang, why so much hate on clemency?! I love clemency so much i use it all the time, it is my absolute favorite paladin skill, I never thought healers actually… hated it? i try to use clemency just before a tank buster goes off and boom, i am imediatly a full health like the tank buster never even happened.
ok ok I’ll subscribe
"Comment"
Heavensward PLD is when it's a joke to be one. Let's just savor what yoshi-p has done to fix this job.
The only time I can remember really using shield bash is in Haukke Manor. If you don't have another melee class for stuns or they just don't know what they're doing, then it can be useful to deal with 2 Succubi using their AoE fear thing. But other than that I'm not sure.
I really wish cover had a shorter cooldown cause "take damage meant for your teammate" is exactly the kind of thing I play tank to do.
Finaly a tank guide that tells you what skills to use. Great stuff!
I'm a final fantasy XI vet and career PLD tank coming over to 14. I mostly played in the 75cap era, but I resubscribe every couple years to check in with Vana'diel try out the new endgame stuff, regear, etc. I finally decided that I needed to move on and join 14 after trying it out and realizing it has much of the same magic and feel of XI, and I want to get the new tanking system down, so I really appreciate videos like this. Maybe it would be smarter to start a new game with an "easier" role like dps or something (I know dps still requires skill, but you don't kill the whole party if you mess up usually), but there are few gaming experiences quite as thrilling as being the wall standing between the mobs and other real life players and knowing that if you play right and your backup has your back, you can't die no matter how hard the godmonsterthing tries. Subbed and upvoted.
If you see this message, I did have a couple questions though.
With the AOE spinny moves, are they typically only used on trash, or do some higher priority targets have adds that require them being worked into your rotation? If so, is there an optimal time to drop them in or it is just situationally "Oh crap, adds, spinny spinny time."
Secondly, I get the CONCEPT of a rotation, having played some WoW and GW2 and stuff, it's just the most optimized way to bring all your abilities to use – but is there no room for variance? Do situations come up in the game where you have to break the rotation? Not anywhere near endgame yet, but I'm hoping there are surprises in battle to look forward to, and not just a rinse and repeat.
what is paladin
Are u jocat dont lie
does circle of scorn not get affected by fight or flight?
I might add that Paladin has the most complicated rotation out of all the tanks because the cooldown timers on so many of PLD's abilities are just… weird.
This guy clearly hates the PLD job.
There have been many times I've outlasted the other tanking jobs even as a MT as a PLD. Perhaps someone doesn't know what they're doing?
its commandable that u correct errors in guides.. even thogh they will bring u whay less views than a completly new video! respect and much apriciated as a sprout.
Guessing that server balmung and the things they do with their swords
I was in the ARR beta, way back when. I started as a Pally, back when it was impossible to get, none the less hold, aggro. Every BLM hated us because they could cast only once every ten seconds, or they pulled aggro. Flash was interwoven with….everything. Every other action had to be a flash, or you lost aggro. Let a single party member hit anything OTHER than your target, and they pulled aggro.
Sure, they improved our aggro management, but Flash was always there. I stepped away from the game shortly before Shadowbringers came out, and am only now returning. I have no freakin' idea how to play my job. They re-worked things so substantially (and Flash is gone, dammit) that I could not even reload my hotbars because everything was different.
Yours is the BEST PALADIN GUIDE available right now, and I've looked at tons of them, including those with Google sheets and microsecond timing graphics with enough time dilation in them that you'd swear you're looking at EVE Online during a mega-war. The crap makes zero sense. But yours, my good man, explains exactly what's going on and does so in a way that an average WOW-exile can understand it.
You rock my small, little world.
Commenting for reasons , feeding a beast sounded kinda neat.
Good stuff
