  1. he don't miss!!!

    this is my favorite video of yours so far — i have played ff14 for a while now and have seen the same endgame tips over and over, but it's awesome how you took those tips and explained them in the most concise and helpful way i've seen so far. it's very exciting to see your channel's growth and i am looking forward to the next video

  2. I've been raiding for a while while I hear the same tips they were more like 'here you go take it and use it'. This felt more healthy? More calming rather than using command words, anyone can build up a tiny wall over being told to 'just do it'/'please don't', I think what I'm trying to say is that I highly appreciate that your guide encourages to be self sufficient 😀

  3. Should add that during tank swaps you provoke on the cast bar not after. First time raiding P5S i got confused and killed main tank lol

    Also for fights with dual tank busters you need both with stance on at the start.

  4. Honestly, one of my favorite aspects of paladin is Hallowed. It can get annoying in high-end content where you need invulns repeatedly, ie barbara's shared buster, where you have to actually share the second one if you get it twice as pld, but in casual content it's my favorite ability to press. It's gotten to the point that playing other tanks with their different invulns can be a let down because of how much damage you have to take to use them efficiently. But if you're a pld in a dungeon, use hallowed on the first or second trash pack, depending on whichever is bigger, and i can guarantee you it will be up again for the last or second to last pull trash pack! It's great! Two whole trash packs where you take no damage for 10 seconds!! With a whm this can be even longer!!! It's great!

  5. @7:00 as tank never turn the boss. Always go through it lol alot of good tips otherwise. Also never use invuls in dungeons unless the healer is OOM or the healer just dpsing and not healing. Use your mitigation during trash pulls. Bosses use MITs on tank busters or party wides. tldr use mitigation tanks. Pls. Literally everyone will thank you.
