  1. You have quickly become one of my favorite XIV-related channels. Consistently solid advice and approachable breakdown. Makes it easy to recommend your videos to friends trying to improve!

    Also, THANK YOU for bringing up mit/healing on dps roles. The amount of dps I've run into when doing savage PF that were competent at their rotation, but seemed to have an aversion to their feint/addle/etc, has driven me crazy as a SCH main.

  2. I have some friends that are looking to get into raiding and think this will be a great video to share, it's everything I have tried to explain (poorly). I like how positive (but honest) your videos and outlooks are.

  3. Yes, please make a HUD video! Specifically because you are a controller player that talks about high end content, I would appreciate it. I am one of those you describe as "staring at their action bars." I have a 34" ultrawide, but do make it so that things are within the center third of the screen, but because you can mis-time the R2/L2 double-tap, I need to see which bar is highlighted. I'd love to watch a video where you describe why you put actions on certain bars. I know you touched on this briefly in another video, but it would be great if you went into more detail in terms of what makes putting an action on a particular bar easier/better in specific situations or during certain parts of a rotation, and what actions should have priority over others in a particular spot.

  4. What the comunity REALLY needs is someone going into detail on how Limit Break works and how it is generated. I know penta legends who have literally no idea about it and it seems to be one of the most vague mechanics in FFXIV.
