  1. These people cant even count, clemency is about half as weak as equilibrium in potency alone, not to speak of the fact that clemency will ruin your rotation and dps, while equi is literally a no-cost insta ogcd ability.

  2. Pld has the shortest effective invuln with the longest cooldown. That makes it the worst, especially since drk got self heals to recover from walking dead. Best to worst is:

    – war
    – drk
    – gnb
    – pld

    Ok now I’m going to watch the video.

  3. Xeno hasn't realized. These aren't people "writing an article" these are just copy pasted points from forums or other sites and put together. Hence the obvious "not written by the same person" feel throughout.

  4. I don't get it. Xeno is always bitching about one tank or another having low dps. Before it was dark knight, now its warrior. Not all tanks are gonna have the exact same damage and they shouldn't, cause they each are meant to be different. It just feels like this is a constant point he brings up that he always finds some reason to bitch about. Like what do you really want them to do. Please give an in depth reasoning as to what can be done to make all the tanks unique but also not "dogshit", I don't think you could. The classes are different for a reason. Why do you think one job should have the same if not more damage while also having insane healing or insane mitigation. Thats not how balance works, these things are a give and take. Heres an idea for a video, Design your own tank you would like to see in a future expansion, I'd be really interested to see what you would come up with and how you would make it unique.

  5. Game Journo must be the best job in the world. You don't have to know anything, you can get everything wrong, insult people like crazy, and still you still have more work of the same quality to look forward to.

  6. I read this same article today. It's terribly formatted. As you pointed out, some of the bullet points are just repeating the same thing. They're putting a new bullet point when it's just something to expand on the previous.

    I think whoever wrote this doesn't actually play tank and instead just read the information about the jobs and made assumptions. That's the only reason I can think of as to why they're talking about Heart of Stone and Heart of Corundum – not knowing that Corundum is an upgrade.

    Talking of Heart of Corundum, it's 27.5% reduction for the first 4s and 15% for the remaining 4s. They also didn't mention the heal that comes with Heart of Corundum.

    Since Endwalker's release, I've been seeing lots of garbage articles (way more than usual) covering stuff like this and also covering things that shouldn't need to be covered. Also often getting things wrong (like this article). It's clear that a lot of these sites are just trying to ride the wave of popularity.

  7. While I would agree that Xeno could probably write quite the compelling article himself, unless he then turned around and made a video of him reading said article and critiquing himself like he does here I don't think I'd go out of my way to read it since it's obviously not going to contain any information that I haven't already heard him say many times. A video, though, could be incredibly entertaining like these videos of him critiquing other people's articles and could lead to other people doing the same to his work which would not only add more entertainment to the FFXIV community but also hopefully push out useful information to people who are just being exposed to FFXIV for the first time. I mean, he could totally make a stream of just him creating and editing the article with the goal in mind that he has to explain things in terms that a non-FFXIV player would somewhat understand while making the jobs sound interesting enough to pick up the game and then his editor could easily turn THAT into the YouTube video. BOOM!! I only hope that I get a small modicum of credit if he actually follows through on my version of this idea but I'll be happy to see Xeno do any version of putting out a proper written article regardless.

  8. Talking as a PLD main here, I think hallowed Ground is good…..until u realize u have issues getting it back when u would need it again x)
    Latest extreme for example u actually need to hard mitigate the 2nd shared buster as PLD since hallowed has to long Cooldown.

    But it’s fine if they keep buffing us PLD mains we will be strongest Tank soon so we take the longest Cooldown on invuln.
    Can’t wait for spicy 1200 Confiteor and additional stuff for Blade potency ;P
