Best Phys Ranged? Well duh, it's Summoner.
Dancer is the best or the worst depending on your dance partner and i wouldnt have it any other way 💃
secret bard tech: if you don't equip your soul crystal, you can have wide volley at level 100!
Lalas can't sing… Lalas can't dance.. all the lala can do is blast you in the a**…
i just want another empyreal arrow lol
Im sorry? Did he just say that machinist has no movement tools? Maybe not like a backeards jump like bard, but i sit here looking at peloton thinking, this is movement tool?
All really even actually. Seems like each one has its strength making them a touch situational. DNC is great if you know you have a strong partner to lean on! MCH having two strong defensive options is great especially for parties that may struggle with mitigation. BRD is a great all-rounder pick.
Now if only phys ranged didn’t feel like it was only brought along cause daddy Yoshi P said we had to bring our little brother along. As a DNC main currently Tanking cause that’s what my static needed, it just feels bad man.
if just dps focused mch is fun for leveling by far.
I dont get why the physical ranged jobs are so weak!
Itll prolly be Bard or Dancer, as usual… Cries in MCH
Bard. Always my main ❤
I hope the magic DPS video is just ten minutes of laughing while showing picto gameplay
Me as MCH thinks DNC is the best. (please partner me)
Viper is the best phys ranged because it gets so many stacks of Uncoiled Fury to flush down the toilet whenever it feels like lol
I know DNC always been objectively more meta DPS wise but I just prefer BRD. I don't wanna pick favourites and hate discriminating against the non meta jobs. Nothing feels weirder than getting dance partner mid fight cuz the original dance partner died.
Feels like DNC artificially pumps up one particular persons numbers too, this RPR was far more geared than my VIP but I out aggro them until the DNC remembered to partner.
Fun fact : for "En Avant", the t is actually silent in French
Took DNC down because other's skill issues? bad criteria
answer whatever you enjoy playing
Having not played any of them yet, and based purely on how many of them I get matched up with in duties, I'm guessing it's gonna end up being Dancer
In all honesty, after escaping the M2S party finder hell, I can safely say that bard is the worst of these. DNC can adapt to mechs or other players fucking up mechs faster and better and MCH can put up mit when the shield healer forgets to do so or is WAY too new to raiding.
BRD might have the highest rDps depending on the comp, but DNC and MHC have the best tools for the mechs of this tier. M2S is literally the perfect tester to show just what jobs really help in the current raid tier.
I'd say that SMN is probably the worst atm since for SOME REASON I have had an ungodly amount of these players failing mechs. Like a very ridiculous number of fails. Even BLMs run circles around SMNs, it's quite depressing.
I say MCH is best because roleplaying as a missile cruiser is peak joy. I get to show everyone how free I am, and how I can spread my freedom everywhere.
After trying to survive in PF this tier, even in M4S reclears with suppose better player quality, MCH is still the best option, I can press my button like a monkey and casually parse a 90+, for BRD/DNC, stars have to align for that to happen, and stars almost never align in shitty PF.
My raid leader asked me to never press repelling shot all tier and the one time I pressed it on M4, I died so… Yeah don't press that button.
Melee next for sure. Not sure there is a point doing anything for casters before 7.1 because I am praying for some balancing. Or just change Summoners role to RPhys lol
How would dnc rank if the party member is amazing?
Amazing video Mr happy can’t wait until you do the casters bc I’m a caster main and want to see what’s your take on casters even tho I only have two max out atm still need smn and rdm but rdm is still 50 atm
Machinist is the best ranged. Always will be
Bard is boring and dancer is for girls and gay guys
Nuff said
I, for one, am willing to sacrifice the Machinist and Dancer jobs as a whole to bring back the time where Ballad resstored MP and Lucid Dreaming didn't exist.
…actually, Bard has the absolute worst personal damage out of literally every DPS class
You can especially feel the difference because the buffs make everybody else so much stronger that sometimes you'll even get knocked down to dealing less damage than a tank…
Maybe even both tanks…
I feel the largest benefit of Bard is that you get to take advantage of support's DPS, which tends to be way more consistent because their rotations are easier to do and easier to associate with fight timeline (and tank privilege)
And the fact that you're giving them the DHR they're always deprived of increases their damage output by volumes, especially for DRK
Its viper duh!
Cant wait to see your take on DRK for the Tank vid
Bard – everything is on fire because I have 1,000 things to do always
I don't really want to see the Wanderer's Paean….and imagining it will give me nightmares, thanks Haps. (sorry, I had to)
the true answer is picto
Honestly, rather than saying there's 1 best phys ranged job, it might have been better to state the best phys range job for each kind of content.
In solo content like PotD or duty finder, Mch being able to solo play from ranged without and cast time makes them perfect for playing when your team is not that trustworthy. However, in dungeons where there's more mobbing, Mch will definitely lose out a little. So Mch is the best in solo content.
On the other hand, Dnc would be the best in raid due to their easier recovery from being killed as well as having the ability to just dash around to cover for mistakes or being able to heal on top of shield. Especially for fights where there's a downtime where bosses aren't around, improv truly shine there with the shield on top of heals. The fact that Dnc is heavily reliant on their partner is both a pro and a con, cause it also means that, if you get a good team, like a prepare static or just a cautious PF team, you will shine more than the other 2 in terms of the damage buff you provide. So Dnc would be the best in Raid content.
Bard is really the jack of all trades here, being able to do well in most content (hence the "best" in this video), but in terms of raid, they suffer from song downtime if they die during the start of a new song. They also suffer overall dps drop if any party member dies, unlike Dnc's dance partner or when a party member dies during Technical step. So in a sense Bard is just as reliant as Dnc on party dps. In terms of casual content like dungeons, Bards can't apply dots on all enemies nor refresh them all at 1 go even if you apply them manually. So they do suffer in terms of aoe compared to Dnc, but does better than Mch. In a sense Bards are like the middle ground between the 2, which make them a good pick for solo content as well as a good pick in a inexperienced party, hence it might give it an overall higher score, but definitely not the best pick for all content.
At least this is just from my opinion from playing all 3, having been a Bard main in ARR to SB, and Dnc main from ShB to current, while playing Mch in between for savage clears when I bored of my main.
I cany wait for the day we get another Ranged Dps, Magic got one in dawntrail.
Now it's Ranger Dps turn!
personally id have picked mch for its ease of use and high return. the bard buff is also met by mch having tactician. bard would be my least recommended because of how stressful the job is + mecanics
MCH my fav but dont like its aoes either.
point blank stationary dmg pulse aoe Flamethrower meh, replace it with ground targeting landmine and make same button detonate it to have lingering aoe, like wildfire into detonator.
Speaking of, Wildfire should be an aoe too, its literally a bundle of dynamite sticks.
using Auto-crossbow should finally reduce the CD of Ricochet/Checkmate.
All mech Queen attacks be fall off aoe dmg.
Always value your knowledge on these. Out of the 3 i still love machinist the most. But im starting really enjoy dancer and bard for their own strengths. Look forward to tank versus 💪🏻 omnitank main
If they removed empyreal arrow i would love bard. I hate that ability and having to keep track of such a short cd
Can't wait to see PF asking for BRD in phys ranged now because "Mr Happy says it's meta".
