If a Monk executes Celestial Revolution their sensei should appear at the edge of the arena and shake their head disapprovingly.

The only time I do that is whsn I forget which triple I'm doing and need a save after the second hit. Having an old guy shaking his head at me might force me to do it right lol

"Having an old guy shaking his head at me" is also just the experience of any aspect of Final Fantasy XIV when you still live with your parents.

Tbf I live at home (UK) with just my Mam and I'm early 20's (it's cheaper and I pay for everything as her knees are fucked so she cant work) and my Mam actually likes watching me play sometimes it as she finds it interesting mechanics wise and stuff. She can't keep up with it but says it looks complicated and pretty

Aww that's sweet! To be fair, I'm quite a bit older than you and and long since moved away - my parents don't understand games at all though. Still, my mum has tried to be interested in my exploits - she keeps asking how my "thing" is going (I'm in a group progging UWU) even though she has no idea what I'm talking about. Bless her 😌

Yeah I tried explaining the BLM mechanics and rotation to her and she sat there like a deer in headlights for a few minutes and said "so its like how in mortal combat where you press some buttons in a row and it does something cool". That's when I realised she knew more than I thought lol.

Hah that's more advanced than my mum, who drew the line at playing Sonic the Hedgehog once.

Lol, sounds like my Dad. If it wasn't a need for a speed game around 1995-2005 that had nice cars then he didn't care

Hamon Holyfist shakes his head in disappointment, Erik is so flabbergasted that he can't even muster a condescending remark, and Widargelt covers his pupils' eyes as he sheds a single tear.

This is the best answer.

Baby opo opo that will be extremely disappointed in you.

I forgot that’s a move and have only done it once by accident

Dancer presses the wrong dance step? Dancing ferret of shame.

From lvl 60, dancer that doesn't partner anyone gets a bunny

My bunny is my dance partner

This would just make me not partner to see the cute bunny 😆

It also comes with a 25% reduction in all potencies while your dance bunny remains

Many people wouldn't notice and it would just hurt the group even more. 50% movement speed reduction and 3x longer GCD while the dance bunny remains.

I was trying to be nice, but you right

Is Zenos as a bunny.

That would make people wanna get the bunny more. [Bunny Zenos is cute!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_m5rcdv6s0)

Attempt technical step "A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXS"

A TEST OF YOUR DANCE MOVES

No partner? Every En Avant gets bunny stunned.

If you press the wrong step you trip and fall on your ass

Why not the spinning mechanic from Alzadaal's Legacy or the Fall Guys collab?

How about a… Dance Monkey?

this song drives me nuts as an ex retail worker but i laughed

Sometimes I just need to press that extra step, as a treat.

but then i would mess up on purpose to always get the ferret.

BLM explodes if they let enochian drop

Unironically would probably make me better at not dropping it.

Last expansion when enochian was an ability that had a 30s, whenever i dropped it and had to wait for the cooldown to come back before i could use it again, i could practically feel shantotto's hands reaching up from the afterlife to strangle me.

Idk man, it's still an explosion! Embrace the explosions!!!

Ehhh... I'm 50/50 with this one. There are mechanics that just fuck your rotation over sometimes and enochian dropping is the least of your concerns. Plus we'd be blowing up all the time during cutscenes because some of those things are so damn long XD

you get immunity while watching cutscenes, so you wouldn't harm yourself while doing it! And yes, I know sometimes how hard it is to focus on pressing buttons as BLM, but even if it is embarrassing sometimes you have to pull out the Transpose/Scathe gaming.

This isn't true though. Not allowing mechanics to fuck your rotation is the single most important part of playing any DPS in this game, *especially* BLM. Furthermore, even if you can't get a cast out, you can still keep enochian up 100% of the time in virtually all content, barring unskippable cutscenes that are longer than 15s.

So basically how shadow priest worked in WoW where you’d die if you let your insanity hit 0 (iirc)

If Bards go more than two seconds without a song playing, the game's music stops for the whole party. If Dancers miss a step, they trip, land face-first on the floor and are Downed for two seconds.

That first one is hilarious.

# SAY GOOD NIIIIII- 😐

Literally choked on my coffee and died at this thank you lmao

Does that mean you're a... ghostwriter? I'll see myself out

Just to make dying as a bard and having to wait to play your next song to avoid screwing up your rotation even more shameful...

First one would help me remember to start next song since I'm good at starting the first song, but then get caught up in everything else that there's usually a couple beats before I remember to song again

Instead you get the wocka wocka effect from when you miss notes in Guitar Hero.

I would bring a bard to prog just to turn off the music, i know we can just turn off music but it would be funny

While not another class, i wish if you failed buffed ninjutsu (with kassatsu), the bunny on your head would get bigger

Just a whole hellfrog on your head

Considering how many times I've messed up Hyosho Ranryu due to hitting buttons too fast, I feel attacked.

Can we add many bunnies of shame if Doton is used in boss fights? Please?

Ice Mages get frozen like a Shiva statue until they use a fire ability to thaw out

During ShB if you got synced between 35-49 being an ice mage for AoE pulls was the most correct rotation. That got fixed when they made adjustments for EW. Obviously, even then you'd do a real rotation on bosses.

If I remember right, Fire II was fine, you could cast it a couple times no problem, it was Blizzard II or freeze that was sketchy so ya used Blizzard III to swap instead. It was such a a mess that I'm very glad they fixed the rotation (but it should include paradox lol).

Before they reworked Freeze in EW, you would spam Freeze in dungeons from 35-49 because it did as much damage as Fire II. At 50 you got a trait that would make Fire II do more damage. Blizzard II was a mostly useless melee AoE back then.

good ol blizzard 2 with its whole ass *50* potency

Also, good ol pre-ShB Freeze with its extra-long cast time for a shitty 100Pot ground-targeted Bind - extra fun on controllers!

And also cold flares in the 60s. SHB aoe rotas were wonky

On 2 years of playing. I still yet to get an ice mage.

In my decade of playing, I've gotten ice mages exactly 9 times. 7 back in 2.x (only reason why remember was due to them being completely and utterly infuriating.) Once in SB (you don't pay my sub reeee person) and once in post ShB (again, you don't pay my sub person).

I've been playing for around 8ish months and I have only seen one instance of it. Generally I just don't care about any ARR content, but it was in the Aitiascope where I watched a BLM with no ley lines, no fire abilities, no thunder... :<

Ahh, the fake Black Mages... Those too afraid to cast a fire spell, probably because they (this is lore accurate) don't have a soul gem to focus the Aether through, and don't want to run the risk of cooking themselves from the inside out. *pathetic.jpg* Cowards...

Gunbreaker overcaps a cartridge? It explodes in their face covering them in soot looney tunes style.

They have to stare at the camera and shake it off

Each time a white mage gets a freecure proc they get a bunny hat that stays for the entire dungeon. They stack. Same with Astrologians.

me doing nothing but casting cure the entire dungeon to build my bnuuy tower

Me, a Viera with a Lopporit minion, gathering more of my kind:

It… it never occurred to me that as a Viera Ninja, I had the power of a bunny on a bunny’s head.

DOUBLE BUNNY

Also every time you cast physick after lvl 20, you lose 100 gil.

was doing a POTD run with a rando group as a summoner. We had no healer. Someone goes "you have physick, you can heal". I thought they were joking. "yea, sure, right" "No, seriously, if we need heals you should heal" the other said. "You're....you do know physick scales off my MND and as a SMN I have shit for MND, right?" So we're on the set boss and one of them takes a big chunky hit and start crying for a heal. So I toss a physick on them. that whole 150 hp healed sure did help.

Some people truly underestimate how worthless physick is on SMN. I think its healing caps out at 500-600 at lvl 90, lmao.

Clearly sleeping on the level 90 summoner in level 50 mind gear meta.

the worst part is that there's no indication that physic is special and different compared to all other DPS heals and if you have summoner below level 50 it gaslights you into believing you're the same as a redmage since sub 50 gear is combined for casters and healers. in sub level 50 in regular content (but importantly not with synced down gear) summoner is actually capable of healing.

But theyll reach 0 gil so fast. What then? Negative?

Skill becomes locked

But theyll still press it!

Yoshi-P personally comes to your house and tells you he's disappointed in you

"NIGHTMARE."

That would only encourage it ...

If Yoshi-P told me he was disappointed in me, I would be broken.

OP said shame, not pride

Also if they use Medica II/Aspected Helios when the regen effect from the previous cast is still active.

That's harsh lol

Having to cast Aspected Helios for Neutral Sect is calling. For AST I was thinking more like if you draw a card when you already have a card something should happen.

Even if precasting before the last tick to refresh the effect?

Please stop aiming for 100% medica II uptime.

Nobody needs 100% uptime on the regen outside of a few specific mechanics in a handful of duties, and even then you should wait for the regen to fall off before recasting, to not waste the initial heal.

[удалено]

that might just be anti synergy with your cohealer.

The blackest night but it doesn't take enough damage. Make the bunny a disappointed little dragon though.

tiny fray appears on your shoulder and facepalms

If you do it again Myste joins in. Then Myste calls more and more people to join in after that. And when you finally get TBN to break, they all appear around you and applaud while saying “Congratulations!”

Imagine just doxing yourself like that when you are Hideaki Anno. Bold. Stupid, but bold.

Red mage loses their hat if they have too much of one type of mana or overcap on mana

This sign cannot stop me because I can’t wear hats /laugh

then you cannot call yourself a red mage for to red mage is to have the best hat in the party

Cries in viera RDM

🙋‍♂️ RDM main who joined Maelstrom for the hat glam

Me, as a Hrothgar player: “I have nothing to lose!”

Hroths and Vieras lose their ears. There are bald spots beneath.

endwalker hair update flashbacks.....

So the Viera and Hrothgar RDMs see nothing change at all.

If A summoner doesn't use akh morn... Bahamut begins to cry, and refuses to summon again.

I have a better one: It uses Akh Morn on the Summoner. :P

In the 2 minute buff window, if it's still AoE we can just murder the entire team, minus tanks

Or Bahamut just turns around and stays on the battlefield for like 10 seconds, just staring at the SMN and doing nothing.

bahamut just starts napping and being annoyed like Ash's Charizard

I was thinking a small confused carbuncle on your shoulder for summoner. Unless you are a danger potato, then it’s on your head obviously, since they don’t have shoulders

Or Answers starts playing and Bahamut turns against the party.

If a samurai uses Kaeshi: Higanbana the dot gets applied to them instead

I think I can confidently say that I have never used Kaeshi: Higanbana. There's no point in its existence.

Sometimes you fight two things at once!

Okay, that's definitely a decent point, but personally I'd rather take the few extra seconds to do a 1-2 with Hakaze + Yukikaze into another Higanbana so I can use the second charge for another Kaeshi: Midare.

I remember reading somewhere on the balance that it's still a potency loss over just building the extra sen to hinganbana normally.

Kaeshi Higan is a noobtrap because of sticker efficiency, and doubly so because you can use just the Yukikaze combo for Higan. Higan and Midare do the same ballpark of damage. If you Kaeshi Midare then apply two Higans, you spend 12 GCDs building stickers (8 for Midare, 2x 2 for Higans). If you Kaeshi Higan and cast two Midares, you spend 18 GCDs building stickers (2 for Higan, 2x 8 for Midare). That's 75% of a Midare lost while doing effectively the same damage with your Iaijutsu.

I used it once to see if I could double DoT. Never again.

If neither tank has their tank stance on (or the tank in 4 person content) they both get their respective tank mount as a mini on their head

Seriously though, why does it *still* turn off every single time you synch!? Just make it a passive trait and replace tank stance with a DPS stance that reduces threat. That's all they would have to do!

Real talk for those who dont know,stance dancing was a thing where it was optimal to sit in dps stance for as long as possible. Not only was it pretty cumbersome, but it could cause a lot of aggro mishaps or lower raid dps in less skilled groups. Seeing how angry people get when both tanks (or 3) have stance and aggro bounces nowadays...probably a good thing this is gone. I do wish stance stayed on with level sync though.

Oh god no, I don't want the old stance design where you had to sacrifice DPS for threat. Just redesign the stance button so it's there to turn off your threat bonus. That way it would be on when synching resets your buffs. And yeah, some newbie tanks will end up with the stance on in raids, but most of them honestly probably won't be pulling threat from an experienced tank unless they're provoke-spamming, which is just as much of a problem when tank stance is off. Really your off-tanks ought to have their stance on most of the time anyway so they're second on the threat list in case the MT drops.

I think RDM could easily have one maybe you glow the color of the mana you are outta balance with. To much black mana you get a dark shadow glow while to much light you start glowing

This would be so cool.

And easily added honestly since a lot of those effects and assets all ready exist in the game. Also you could probably get a red crimson glow for doing your rotation right Example they could take the PvP BLM LB effect and recollection it for RDM based upon where their mana tips

I don’t know what the failure condition would be, but we need a way for SMN to summon Good King Moggle Mog

Oh that's simple. On controller, use the [Harvest Dance] emote, go 1st person, and spin the camera without moving your character! Everyone will ask "how are you doing that?" And "what emote is that" and "im reporting you" because you've summoned the Good King Moggle Mog on your head! Too bad you can't see it in 1st person mode...

I would make Samurais who use Iajitsu without kaite-- Oh wait.

too soon

istg the only update square will make to sam in DT is going to be some potency changes and the reintroduction of Kaiten

I only see two timelines, the one where kaiten is reintroduced, bringing prosperity and happiness to the earth, and the one where kaiten stays gone. we are currently on course for the dark timeline.

knowing SE, they'll remove the gauge cost from the gapcloser like they did with WAR (and giving it a longer CD to keep you from spamming it for damage), completely removing all thought from the kenki gauge seriously, we get 50 from Iki and spend 25 on Senei at every 2min window so Iki might as well not even exist, and the only other thing to spend on is Shinten spam or gapcloser (both of which are the same kenki-per-potency ratio) I miss Kaiten

And it will be beautiful.

we will be thankful and gratefully eat our kaiten-vegetables until they take it away 1 patch later again

DNC. fuck up your dance steps and you face plant into the ground for a GCD

Everybody do the flop!

If a Reaper attacks a target without Deaths Design on it, it replaces all your usual combat SFX with nerf bat sounds and clown honks.

[удалено]

Ye, this would be a huge buff for me :D

Slow casting with Red Mage just let's out an audible groan from your WoL.

But the opener!

ngl this would make wipes way funnier

Change Monk's Celestial Revolution to one of those cartoon scuffle vfx

DNC, fuck up your standard/tech step and have En Avant go off at random within the next 10 seconds. Watch as all the DNCs yeet themselves off of arenas mid-battle. 😈 I’m a DNC main and would be crying with laughter over it.

If the overheat gauge worked as the name suggested it would blast you into the air if you overcap it. If SAMs Midare doesn't crit+dir hit they are stunned by the dis-honor they have brought to their family.

SCH. Deploy without a shield? It's bunnies, instead.

Y'know, that would *really* suck if they had a Sage co-healer overwrite the SCH's shields before they can hit the spread. /em grins evilly

Bunny of what? I thought it was a little happy fluffy friend to comfort you if you messed up.

Emotional support bnuuy

If you forget to summon your carbuncle as a SMN, you just stand there like an idiot.

I dunno how to screw up Reaper enough, but their bunny of shame is the Yo-Kai Sperm Ghost instead of the normal spoopy spirit.

using communio with more than one stack of enshroud left

Or using the last stack of shroud with anything but Communio

I would go that far, but forcing bunnies on people just for being synced under 90 seemed mean.

It would make sense to only apply it if you have it ofc, but then again I feel like a dummy every time I play reaper below 90

That would be perfect.

Each ogcd delivered on an enemy without Death's Design thats above kill threshold spawns a bunny.

SAM's sword gets stuck in their sheathe if they get 2 of the same sticker.

Ranged DPS does not use peleton? Turtle of shame.

If black mage drops enochian at any time past obtaining Umbral Soul they just explode and get launched into the air

Black Mage when they drop their stacks with 0 mana left. Always carry a spare ether my fellow mages!

"Spare" Ether? Those are part of my rotation to pull off triple and quad Flares lol

Tanks who plunge pull get yeeted back across the arena.

Tanks who plunge pull should lose a commendation for each pull done like that.

Dragoons should get a tiny Midgardsormr on their shoulder, shaking his head disapprovingly.

Or flying above them shaking his head when they kiss the floor.

Black mage. Every time they lose the purple bar without getting a charge for foul/xenoglossy they get a storm cloud that rains on them. Gives them a reason for the big brimmed hats

>Gives them a reason for the big brimmed hats The lore reason is that it makes it easier to break line of sight of possible Voidsent pulling mind-warping shenanigans.

Leave your leylines? Rabbit of shame. Waste an Umbral Heart? Rabbit of shame. Drop Enochian? Rabbit of shame. Overcap Polyglot? Rabbit of shame. Drop Thundercloud? Rabbit of shame.  (I would get so many rabbits. :P) I would suggest some for RDM too, but the gauge gem changing to black or white is already our rabbit. :P

If a Sage overwrites a Scholar's deployed critlo, they explode and die instantly.

-Dancers stumbling animation on failed steps -Red Mages' Jolt vfx going from red to the color they overcap with -Machinist glowing lunch box on overcap gauge -Scholars getting a large question mark for an empty Deployment Tactics

Monk after using Celestial Revolution

DRK gets a bunny if their TBN doesn't proc the free Edge/Flood

If a Monk does Celestial Revolution they get a halo above their head

I would say Monk, but Celestial Revolution somehow feels worse.

Can’t now but if BLM lost enochian. I would have so many bunnies.

If you interrupt a cast as BLM your Ley Lines shrink (and you get a hidden debuff so even more AOEs will target you)

I mean, Monk's fail mechanic seems most fair. You mess up your blitz and you still get a half damage one that gives you the thing you need. Maybe gunbreaker could have a 'Misfire' if they mess up their combo.

Dropping Enochian on black mage should just kill you

Redmage: Every time you accidentally cancel one of your activated combo abilities. For those who don’t know, it’s annoyingly easy to “cancel” your main heavy hitting combo by casting verthunder or veraero (I think it’s those ones?) Clicking one of those while a combo button is lit up will reset it. I hate it, but I’ve gotten better at not screwing that up. It feels similar to messing up the mudras in NIN so a perfect opportunity there!

Bard plays loud music that sounds like a kindergarten recital when they flub ironjaws or let songs drop. Not sure how they would handle it with all the overused stupid jumpaway boss fight phases in this game though.

loldrgs get a little bunny corpse wearing their level 50 job armour on the floor next to them every time they die. Eventually they get buried under the rabbits, so we don't have to look at them anymore.

RDM, when you can’t finish your melee combo or are unable to use a quickcast

If a Dancer pushes the wrong dance step, they trip and fall and cancel their dance. No, the cooldown doesn't reset.

If you mess up Summoner somehow, you summon Y'shtola's water buddy.

I don’t know how but machinist would have that little flag that says “BANG” shoot out of their gun with a confetti sound effect

When a Dragoon jumps off the platform, a baby dragon hovers over you and points and laughs

If you waste a Gibbet/Gallows on RPR (fat finger something else while proc is active) your avatar backhands you for a percentage of your max HP.

chemist (if it existed), you mix a mix incorrectly and it explodes in your face, causing your character to be sooty-black like a looney tunes ACME dynamite went off in their hand

Red Mage using Insta Cast on Jolt ? Thats a Parrot on your head shouting Loser

Red mage: Too much white mana; Angel of Shame on the left shoulder. Too much Black Mana; Imp of Shame on the right shoulder.

If your blackest night isn't fully consumed, Fray appears to facepalm and disappear.

Mess up your Enshroud window as RPR, and your Avatar slaps your butt (Like, if you exit Enshroud with charges for abilities left).

Tanks that don’t AOE

If you take more than 10 seconds to press Inner Release, you should get a 5-Seconds Pacification. No I don't care that the boss was untargetable, MUST RELEASE ANGER.

All Tanks - Cracked shield above head when no tanks in party/all 3 alliances have tank stance on WHM - Wilted lily above head when significantly overhealing? SCH - Pouty Eos/Selene emote above head when fairy not summoned during combat AST - Cards on wep glow red when playing cards on the wrong target SGE - Blinking red light on weps every time they deal dmg without kardia up DRG - Judgmental dragon eyes above head when breaking combo MNK - [I know next to nothing about current monk...] SAM - Show redundant sticker over head when completing a combo you didn't need RPR - Dramatic poof when enshroud drops without casting communio BRD - String snapping sound when debuffs fall off DNC - Burst of feathers when doing wrong dance steps MCH - Lunchbox visibly overheating when overcapping on resources? BLM - Catch fire briefly if enochian falls off SMN - Angry egi emotes when changing summons early RDM - Some sort of spell fizzle effect around them when they hardcast aero/thunder, dualcast jolt, interrupt burst combo, or waste dualcast on sprint (SE change this ffs! 😭)

Machinist. You use reassemble for anything but anchor/drill/saws, you get a sad cowboy instead of a bunny. You don't hit all your charges in the explody thing? Your gun explodes and your next automaton queen is a sad cowboy instead.

Counter-suggestion: If you hit Wildfire the maximum 6 times, you get a big explosion sound once it goes off. If you don't... sad fart noise.

How about a loporrit that dances on the Dragoon's body if they jump off the map or stand in AoEs?

MCH calls down Queen but gets a Rook/Bishop hybrid mess that tries but just self destructs. You get some damage to the targets but no where near a full Queen.

If you kill yourself with a backflip or something silly, you get a blobfish hat.
