FIRST
Looking forward to the updated BLM guide. Leveling it right now.
ninja cid tier.NICE
Appreciate the list here and the upcoming guides. Having to switch to controller due to some health issues your guides have made it so easy to get into.
That's weird. I never had trouble with PLD on my controller.
WAR gang report!
For me personally:
PLD: A – I'm comfortable with the way I set up my controller (can post screen shots on Discord or Tweet @)
DRK: C – Not very versed much in it, has a lot of button congestion
GNB: S/Cid – Fast paced DDR action on the controller and very fun!
WAR: NA – Haven't played, won't rank
WHM: S – After your controller guides on what's important, I improved my game on WHM
SCH: D – Too much controller congestion
AST: NA – Haven't played, won't rank
SAM: E – I love the class, but too much congestion and to fit in the 32 slots on controller… too much happening for it.
MNK, DRG, NIN: NA, Haven't played, won't rank
MCH, DNC, BRD: NA But only cause I haven't got them to max, starting level fine as there aren't many skills.
RDM: C/D – Lot's of button congestion
BLK: NA, Haven't played, won't rank
SMN: D – Controller congestion… again
BLU: All the ranks – Depends on the disposition you que in as and your skill level.
Looking forward to trying the new classes!
But I don't use macros as they say it's DPS loss, so had to make sacrifices on my kit to bring my 32 Skills adjusted in rotation order (so my brain says X, O, /. [] or 1-2-3….)
As I have only ever played on controller I have to say my favorite class to play would have to be Ninja 🥷. It is super smooth and comfortable. My close 2nd is Red Mage.
The smn controller guide worked very well for me
thanks for more FF14 videos i have no idea what to do with the remaining time we have left until endwalker. these videos help pass the time
I just wanna say; I love your controller guides and thanks to you, it was easy for me to switch to controller. Although sometimes I do mess up when I panic xD especially healer, but it’s the muscle memory thing :3 I was able to adapt after a few days of playing though! I have yet to try out tank with it. It definitely did make the experience fun! 🙂
Me, maining paladin on controller all this time. D, huh? Maybe I should try another tank. But I love the vibe and the level 90 gear set is all I’ve ever wanted
As someone who been playing since 2.0 on a Controller, the hardest jobs, without a doubt, is Scholar and Ninja.
It really comes down to pure muscle memory to play maximum effectiveness both healing and dps without missed dots.
I play ALL jobs but scholar takes the cake.
May I petition a change in the tiers from Cid, S, A, B… to Cid, Chicken Nuggets, Pizza, Mozzarella Sticks, ….?
For me, ninja is horrible on control because every time I play it. I have to manually change a setting on my controller. I’m referring to casting the ninjutsu combos
Dragoon is fun on controller
The only real issue I have with BLM is Aetherial Manipulation. It’s the one area where a tech gap exists between M&K and controller
Wait what skills would require macros for reaper?
I been in controller since 2013 and all jobs are easy on controller. Granted I don’t have emotes and any other miscellaneous stuff on my bars.
I don't use a controller, but a keyboard mouse. Do you think sum is still S tier?
Poor SMN, my old main, is now brain dead 🤤
That is good news regarding SMN. I'm in agreement with you that SMN on controller right now is insane.
I don't agree with you on PLD. I'd say C. The button bloat is definitely a problem.
WAR just feels so good right now. I'm stoked for the changes in EW. WAR is one of my mains.
SAM feels ok. It's the oGCD that can be a bit tricky. The job really suffers from button bloat.
I don't play on a controller, nor do I plan to, BUT I greatly enjoy watching your controller guides. It's really nice to see how viable this game is on both controller and keyboard/mouse. It also helps me in Novice Network when I give advice. I can pass on advice you have stated and recommend your guides to people.
I'd agree with PLD and DRK. I ended up switching from PLD to DRK just because it got so bloated and messy. The other tanks have all felt so much better on controller
So which guide u thinking u gonna do first for endwalker?
Also thank for this video!
Yeah, that is one thing I think needs to be done is some jobs are a bit bloated and could use some trimming of the fat so to speak.
Do we need to have a talk about all these tier lists? <3
Thanks so much for all your controller guides – it's one of the first things I look at when I'm setting up a new class. Being able to play on controller really brought me back to the game. I've been a PC/keyboard gamer since the 90s, but FFXIV just feels so much better to me on controller.
So far I have WHM/BLM/RDM at 80 – I was formerly a BLM main but I like RDM much more. I also have PLD at about 35. I haven't noticed a problem with it on controller yet, but I don't have most of the skills so I wouldn't be surprised to see the issues start showing up when I get more skills.
All the classes have felt natural to play with your guides and I haven't felt the need to tweak my layouts much, I'm I'm curious to see what you think can be optimized.
I wish you would try what I did to modify your ninja guide. Put the ninjitsu on your left side of hotbar 2. You go into ninjitsu mode easy enough and then pop back into normal combat.
Even in HW I'm having a rough time with Astro but I can't get over how much fun it is.
