How to make a build:
Step 1. Equip a job crystal
Dark Knight does do damage. It's just that one of its biggest skills just so happens to be fucking boring and you don't think about the damage it outputs because you are not in control of it.
"How come every game journalist has no idea about the game they are writing about?"
I swear most, if not nearly all of them are just mainstream normies who graduated off journalism school but couldn't get hired to work for a serious news network or publication, and just went for gaming, because "hey, that's sounds like an easy paycheck and i get to play video games for a few hours a day. no one take this seriously, right?"
but i will give the author this, though; still not as dumb as the dumbass who reviewed a Warhammer4K game calling it a Gears of War ripoff, or not being able to clear Cuphead's tutorial level. it's still dumb, but not the dumbest.
the redmage 1 is also dead wrong, they say to get the augmented crafted gear, i´m BiS on RDM and nothing is crafted anymore.
I think this guy got his article removed and removed entirely from the website, lol.
Dark Knight in dungeons is actually super powerful. I was memeing it, being a warrior main, just to see how it played and fell in love with the 25k damage sustain on packs of mobs. It literally melts the double pack pulls.
This was written by an AI
I think I saw that title too. "character builds? In ffxiv? wut?"
Yeah I saw this article and read the header and was like well this is shit cause their really aren’t builds in ff14. Not to mention most classes don’t want a gcd lower than 2.40
For shiggles, I checked what the theoretical fastest GCD for Dancer is.
It's 2.21, using Pentamelded Rinscita weapon/pants/boots/ring, Ornate Rinascita Body with pentamelded skill speed, Abyssos gloves/bracelet/ring, Augmented Lunar Envoy head/earring/necklace, and Melon Juice. Average ilvl of 620 so lol
Astrologian doesn’t even need piety
Arthars was going to read the article after the PLL last night and its already removed, that's how hilariously bad this article is xffing
"What other build is there, the Machinist SUPPORT build!?"
Me: "Well yeah, ain't it standard?" Falls over laughing at the obsurdity.
Broken character builds???!! What?? This isn't Destiny or Division 2. Journalism of all kinds is useless nowadays.
lmao…thats it.
For Machinist, the reason you use the unaugmented Lunar Envoy ring (or the augmented crafted ring; it ends up being the same either way) is for that 2.5 gcd. Doesn't really matter much damage-wise, like you said, but without it, your Drill, Air Anchor, and Chainsaw get wonky cooldown timers and it becomes a real pain in the ass to keep your shit aligned.
Skill Speed is the bane of my existence.
You have to take this stuff with a grain of salt. This is purely SEO stuff designed to take advantage of keyword searches to generate traffic to the website.
Also these people aren’t even really “journalists”. This is probably some guy they found on Upwork to write this article for $50 who has maybe played the game.
Seeing piety on Astro was the biggest cringe sentence to ever fucking exist. The class with 2 lucid dreaming charges and cards that give 500mp every 30 seconds needs more mana? With 90% of its big heal toolkit being OGCD heals with no mana requirements? There is 0 chance a human that actually has played this game wrote this
When I heard them say "builds"
I knew this article would be a load of rubbish lol
The only choice i know is crit blm vs speed blm.
The blm can make higher crit with slower casting. Or cast a little faster for a little lower dmg. Esspecial, with the point that mp has no meaning for blm
I am a SMN main, though I don't do high end content, so I don't know all that BiS stuff, but spell speed just feels stupid.
Not only do we, at lvl 90, only have 4 spells with actual cast time (Ruin 3, Slipstream, Ruby Rite and Ruby Catastrophy), if the cast speed gets to fast, you might be forced into Ruin 3 casts to fill out the Bahamut/Pheonix cooldown, and as far I've read, that is just an overall loss of damage.
As a SMN Main i wanna hang myself hearing he wants Spellspeed….2,48 or you´re not a SMN.
is the article taken down? lmao
This article feels like those "must have 200 words" essays where you just pull stuff out of your ass so it is longer but even then this still looks like an article about nothing.
we only get 6 casts on SMN during bahamut/phoenix regardless of spell speed. more spell speed only gives us more time to fuck up or deal with mechanics and barely at that
Yah try healer. It's literally spamming 1 button /w a dot every 30-seconds. Yoshi really screwed healers up so badly after 4.0 people who came after that build have no idea how dynamic and fun healer jobs used to be.
Tell me you don't play 14 without telling me you don't play 14.
wow peak illiteracy
Im pretty sure this guide was written by AI.
Who uses Piety
Not gonna lie, and I might just be bad, but i've never melded my gear. I'm super casual and just play the story and random tid-bits here and there but i've never felt the need to meld because I can do the content I already do with very little problems and no melding. This article/ranking shit puts a LOT of emphasis on melding.
btw, the author and article pages are gone now
what if we break the game and do stuff we are not supposed to do like having skill/spell speed materias in all slots and/or use armors pieces that only give that bonification. Is it possible to lower something down to 2 seconds?
For someone that ACTUALLY played the game with over a thousand hours, I tried to apply to be a writer for these game websites while looking for work, but it's just sad reading these when they didn't even play the game and they got the contract instead lmfao
Another part of me thinks that this is an april fools joke because…… BUILDS and DIVERSITY in ff14? xDDDD
bro thinks this is elden ring
Game Journalist being a Game Journalist
Typical
The worst part is that someone got paid to string this pile of dreck together.
Well, couldn't find this article at all, so it clearly got taken down quick.
"amazing fun builds"
>tells you to get abyssos gear and lunar ring for every class
Wow so creative and fun
Just gonna say this article is about what the author finds to be "fun" to play. If he finds these SpS/SkS settings fun then so be it.
my only issue with this BiS rant, not everybody has BiS yet or some don't have the means to get BiS, so other gear got to be used in its place. all the damn elitist snobs always saying BiS or nothing is pretty sad, the one that wrote that article's knowledge might be lacking but their correct on the idea of using what you can get as a build till you get BiS. ive seen plenty of gear guides that aren't BiS but are to get that BiS gear if attainable. every time I hear this guy rant he sounds more like a huge elitist prick. crapping on everybody else's idea if they match with his. not everybody has that dedicated group tyo do the right content for best in slot, and PF is a nightmare 99% of the time with prog. limited options means none BIS has to be used, some of which is crafted gear or tomes
to whomever wrote this: don't.
I thought builds was a genshin thing :0
8:00 I meaaan, even for important pieces like the chest, at same ilvl it's not that big of an influence. espoecially if you get lucky. Still haven't got the chest and have the augmented tomestone one, still got my first orange parse like that.
