I want to get into Savage eventually but at this point I think I'm better off waiting till 5.0 for now I've just been improving my rotations and having a friend parse me

but I don't know how much that matters since jobs are going to be completely different soon

[ConnahDC 5]

i think MMOs should have a 5-6 button rotation

with 2-4 big cooldowns

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

that's kind of what Dragoon is

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Rotations in FFXIV aren't that long tho, connah

And some classes have two types of rotation phases, usually, both short

[Noleen 7]

just heal and do whatever you want when you want

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

I haven't started machinist yet but I want to just to see how bad it is in its current state

[ConnahDC 5]

and you see the problem wit that yes ama?

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

just so ill enjoyed the changes that much more

I'm in between on it I suppose I don't want 5 to 6 button rotations but I don't want massive bloat either

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

No, not really

Because they're simple

Let's take Red Mage for example

Red Mage has two, short button rotations..

One for caster phase

The other for melee phase

[Mupstun2 11]

yea honestly connah there is nothing wrong with rotations in FF. it's basically the same concept as any older MMO. with ESO and GW2 being the exceptions

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Literally, both are only 4 buttons long

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Mup would know this

As he plays Red Mage

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

the simplest jobs are Red Mage Dragoon and Samurai

[Mupstun2 11]

yup yup. red mage your rotation is swapping between 2 different spell types

[Mupstun2 11]

it's fun

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

I add Black Mage in there too

[Mupstun2 11]

black mage is super easy rotation

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Yup yup, what Icecl said too

[ConnahDC 5]

but i dont have issues with the rotations thrmselves

i have issues with the amount of buttons and rotations

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

The amount of buttons/skills =/= not simple

[Mupstun2 11]

well that's what i'm saying connah. older mmos have alwaysss had too many buttons

i personally don't like having that much button clutter

[ConnahDC 5]

but at the same time you can pick and choose your own build

in FF14 you cant

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

that's partly what I like about 14 to be honest

I'm not a fan of horizontal progression

[Mupstun2 11]

not realllyyyyy like with wow if you want to be viable you basically HAVE to pick certain skills

[ConnahDC 5]

like i said last night, it gives you abilities then thatsd it
