very greedy…. points…. our drs goat….
I haven't cleared yet thank u joon
I see same baits, I like.
Lots of improvements could be made. Cardinal baits let melees get positionals without true north, letting them use it for upcoming mechanics.
Waymarks can be placed card with four more where the clones move later on. That way people can use waymarks as the position identifiers and make easier callouts, ie; 3 in out and 1.
The better waymark placement also helps with pre-positioning.
even if I've already cleared it, I just like watching your guides for animations and music xD
started watching ever since p8s. To this day I jam to that lol
Joobbob guides are back?! I cleared week 1, but still. Hype.
i swear to christ that i summoned you??? we were talking about strats and stuff in my static the other day and i was like, “maaan… i miss joonbob’s guides! they were a production!” and like magic, here you are!!

Finally, a GAMEPLAY focused guide!
I swear, why people believe a PowerPoint presentation is the absolute standard will always be beyond me; I just can’t learn that way!
No voice over?
At this point, your channel is a guide and a playlist for me. You always got some nice music for me to jam to.
suggestion: turn off map, quest, damage numbers and limited self battle effects for less cluttery view.
Asuka 120% my beloved
can't wait for M4S come out XD
the design of your guides are so visually appealing
excellent music as always o7
Comparing your drawing of black cat to her in game model is like night and day lmao, she looks so dopey in game.
Intercard same baits is garbo goddamit now Im dissapointed.
i think hector won this tier guide race :3 , at least on light every pf party says hector*
WELCOME BACK KING
Your guides are the best. Please do more! The way you present mechanics is very comprehensive, and the videos themselves are just enioyable to watch. I still occasionally pull up the E8S and E12S guide just for the audio/visuals.
Watching a tutorial for me is like a tsunami – It's confusing even if you understand some of it.
But practicing on the other hand is better for me, as I learn better by practicing – even if more mistakes are made, which means learn from them more
All the people suggesting moving between hit 2 and 3 of raining cats have not been in enough parties of the tanks not knowing what in and out is, goblins not being able to count to 4, or casters greeding out in narnia. One minute attempt at opti is maiming the pf clear rate. Just please stand still and secure the books for the love of god.
I MISSED YOU JOONBOB MY GOAT
bumpbumpbumpbumpbump push this in the algorithm WELCOME BACK KING IM SO HAPPY
Only thing I do have to say, for the cleave baits you should do SUPP first, as there are classes like NIN that cant do DPS first
Great guide as usual Joonbob! anywyas is that megaman X bgm im hearring?
Oh, you were in my PT for my reclear. I'm the RDM that dies at copy cat. We eventually got a clear and I managed to not die.
Pretty but pls give the art some chocolate love
