"A Crap Guide to Final Fantasy XIV - Ranged DPS" | Kip Reacts to JoCat

I love how the Bard's Job Story can be summed up by what I like to call the "Reverse Zeus." That is to say, everything is going wrong because they're actually keeping it in their pants.

Someone: Why are you a dancer? Me: Gambling and style points

Ah, yes, I absolutely love Eisenstien. Amazing character.

Dancer is extremely approachable, and pretty fun to play.

3mbps is actually pretty good for rural internet, my parents are still making due with 500kbps on a good day. US internet infrastructure is an embarrassment and is below the human rights mandated minimum Europe came out with.

Very fun! Always enjoy a good Jocat reaction. And yeah this definitely sounds like a good class and Dancer especially sounds really cool.

jocat! Happy to see more of you reacting to these again!

Ascian "Nya!... brales."

All the morbols are named after Notorious Monsters (basically very rare named monsters with unique loot. No I'm not still salty about Fafnir and Nidhoggs spawn timers or drop rates on the Ridill, why do you ask?) from FFXI. One that sticks in my head is Capricious Cassie but they all had alliterative feminine names like that.

A gunshot is really just a long distance stab wound

Dancer is pretty fun IMO, but I like Ninja too... I just like pushing lots of buttons ok!

Let's go, Kip in my weekend, perfect

fun fact: in finnish peloton means fearless

Comparing Limit Break damage output is a little unorthodox, because there's not any player-facing data on things like 'potency', like other actions. What we do know is that the damage range of a Limit Break is determined by the Average iLvl of everyone's weapons. Specifically the weapons, and not any other gear. The higher the Average iLvl, the higher the LB's damage. (This does take into account iLvl Sync) From there, the best data we have is how well the LBs compare to each other. If we use the Melee LB3 as the baseline (100%), then a Caster LB3 does ~60% of that damage to a single target, while the Ranged Physical LB3 does ~54% to one target. So strictly speaking, it does make a significant difference in the kind of tight DPS checks that can appear in endgame Savage and Ultimate 1-target fights (and some endgame Extremes), but for general content, outdated content, or content with multiple targets, the math gets a lot more fuzzy and matters less. So for Dungeon or Alliance Raid shenanigans, go ham, because it's not gonna matter xD

Unfortunately as a bun, I am forever barred from the fancy hat 😢

LB for ranged and magic does roughly two thirds the damge the melee do

I used to run summoner and it was too clunky for me. I tried samurai, and that was a hot mess. Machinist just clicked for me.

There are two kinds of ranged, never-touch-peloton and never-stop-touching-peloton. My prefered ranged is Dancer. Bard is pure procs and ive legit died trying to watch my bars while being one, and Machinst is ok but meh.

4:00 Why is Kip talking about 'More balls' and them having sus names?? I mean you name your balls? :P
