I see SCH ranked worst among healers. I don't agree with that one bit either.
He's so right about the damage dealing hive mind. It's always especially bad when expansions launch and I'm so sick of it. People really, really need to get over themselves. You've got people standing here judging parses and doing whatever they can to do as much damage as possible meanwhile they'll flunk the simplest normal mode mechanics. Most of them won't even survive Savage.
Xeno smh… PLD has a shield equiped 100% of the time, that is a 100% uptime defensive cd, so no, pld is not short a defensive compared to other tanks. Put all 4 tanks in exact same gear on the same boss and just let the boss auto attack each of the 4 tanks in turn, and none of the tanks can use any cooldowns or abilities. Which tank stays alive the longest? PLD because of the shield. PLD shield makes it the defacto most tanky tank. A pld will take 18%-25% less dmg over the course of a boss fight than all the other tanks because it has a SHIELD. ffs
Those this guy even understand what tanking is? Seems like he only ever played a dps, tanking is all about taking the damage so others don't
Well of course WAR lacks deffensives, they dont have the best deffensive in the entire history of all mmos, wich is TBN!! HYPERPOGGER.
I played a lot of DRK in SB and ShB but I've been leveling WAR and it's now my favorite tank. Having my pepega healers die to boss mechanics in EW dungeons and still being able to drag my team kicking and screaming to victory is amazing. XD
Reading this a few days ago gave me a headache, happy to see everyone enjoy it just as much lol
Did the author even play these jobs, or did they base these rankings off reading media tour tooltips??
As a healer main… as in… every expansion my healers all hit level cap before I even start looking at other classes… (except fisher, I always level fisher first) I absolutely hate healing Gunbreakers!!! They are the squishiest pieces of garbage in every expert roulette and my healer dps is always lower with gunbreaker wall to wall pulling in expert.
However I will say, occasionally a gunbreaker will come along and make me eat those words. But my observation is still valid. I think what I see is a class that most people suck at but has potential to be incredible and sometimes I get a gunbreaker tank that has figured it out.
Expert speed run order of preferred tanks for me as a healer:
Paladin, warrior, dark knight, blue mage (this is a joke), gunbreaker.
I don’t main tank, I only level it just to have everything at level cap. So I by no means have any deep understanding of the role and its classes. But I know healing in excruciatingly feels detail and I know the speed runs are less efficient with gunbreaker randoms. I am not applying any of this logic to pre-made groups with a reliable tank that knows his class and role. My experience in that regard has always been…. All of the tanks are great and the only thing that can stop us is if we get sloppy/lazy/drunk.
And wow!!! I went and read the healer sections. Complete garbage. First off, white mage got wrecked by endwalker changes imo. My personal order of preference is actually the exact inverse of their ratings!
1: SCH – it is insanely powerful and the buff in endwalker is too subtle for most people to comprehend… clearly… pop your two new healing potency enhancing abilities and force a critlo then deploy to the raid and let’s talk about “in a weird spot”… 🥱
2: AST – admittedly I agree that it is probably a weaker outright healer. But the raid benefits to having an AST out weigh the raw power of the WHM. Let’s not forget, if you just stay out of bad you won’t need the dang WHM’s raw power! So stop leaning on that crutch and let’s buff the raid’s damage!
3: SGE- damage output is always good on a healer when pushing progression content… as long as you don’t let the raid die. With that said, I’m actually pretty unimpressed with SGE. I feel like its kind of gimicky. It will simply never keep up with the massive shields SCH puts out there. Which is okay, it’s clearly not designed to! But I’ll say this… if your progression team doesn’t need a lot of healing output… SGE+AST would be pretty amazing in theory. Weakest healers but probably some pretty nuts DPS numbers. So situationally I could consider SGE above SCH depending on what you’re running and who you’re running with!
4: WHM – the endwalker changes imo really just messed with WHM’s supremacy. Admittedly I was never a WHM fanboy! But I knew in shadowbringers that as a SCH main I couldn’t shell out as much raw healing potential as my WHM counterpart, so it took precise planning and timing to out perform them… and I did… often. Knowing the fights helps with that! It requires more skill and awareness to keep up with what the WHM could just blindly do. Not the case anymore. But they still have pretty visuals! 🤣
5: Warrior – sometimes I get confused about whether warrior is a tank or a healer. Maybe that’s why I prefer leveling this one when I get around to leveling all my tanks… 😜
always a delight to get preached to by someone who has no idea what they're talking about.
Who says pally isnt exciting? Tf?
The way these articles read and are worded sounds like the entire thing was plugged into Google Translate. Or in more blunt terms, it's a third-hand experience funneled from someone else who is just as unfamiliar with the subject matter.
you gotta wonder why they even write these types of articles. the playerbase will instantly call out the bullshit and by now people should know to never read these things, ever.
I hate being Main tank, but I main WAR. I know I have a ridiculous number of options when it comes to damage mitigation, some have told me that it's more than any other tank class. Damage is real hit and miss for WAR though since you only get the huge dps boost for a few attacks on a longish cooldown. That being said, I can't imagine having WAR anywhere short of the first or second position on overall best tank class. Not knowing anything about the classes is the only way I could see it dropping down the list. Sounds to me like the person writing the article just read a bunch of other peoples' reviews and based everything off that. BTW, I still suck at tanking on a lot of fights b/c I don't like to do the research on each boss to figure out optimal skill usage, so I'm not saying I am a good tank, just that my class is good at it.
Ran into a cracked warrior in smileton. He didn't even wait when the healer died he just kept going and did a wall to wall pull without the healer and we still killed the pack.
Big deals is cute, but have you tried being immortal? Warrior should be S-tier
Just give me back Heavensward play style. Make me work for every scrap of damage and think.
At least the writer "tried". 🤣
i find it amazing how these "journalists" actually manage to constantly make a statement and within the selfsame sentence, or the sentence afterwards, turn this statement into the exact opposite of what it was at first.
>relies on self-healing
>lacks defensive options
>is favored in groups where the tank keeps himself alive
This author is just increasing word count without really saying anything meaningful, lol. Also, I think they mean Paladin isn't exciting because it's a cliché tank class? That's a pretty dumb reason to say it's not exciting, it's got those cool FF Tactics inspired spells, that's awesome.
If anyone takes game journlest seriously then they are just stupid. They never know what they are talking about, and or just talk a bunch of bullshit.
but u know, the devs team read this and buff warrior
To answer why you’re seeing repeat lines in these articles:
Because none of them are playing, they’re just being told to turn in articles because XIV is the current hotness. So they watch trailers, Google articles from other idiots who haven’t played it, and copypasta whatever they find.
Here's the thing. Warrior is a such a good healer and dps now, it can't possibly be classified as a tank anymore.
I love PLD, the sustain it has is great, has a lot of utility too. And the freaking swords.. they feel sooooo goood when they start falling lol.
The amount of entire team but 2 warriors in my team have wiped and they just finish the normal bosses without doing mechanics is just hilariously stupid to me
