Guides for New Players of FF14Follow

DPS is the correct term in this game.

DD is a Japanese term which is why it was part of FFXI's little pocket language.

For FFXIV (at least in the NA/EU regions) you want: enmity, dps (both the role and the statistic), job (for combat), class (for non-combat or super-newbie levels), character (not toon because people will have a fit), "turn" for Coil, "floor" for Alexander.

So am I

Huh. I totally never even realized that Callinon and I were on the same server. I haven't played WoW in a while (tried out WoD but quit again after a few months) but most of my characters are alliance on Sargeras too. (these guys)

I have several ally toons on sargeras too. I'll probably play there again with my buddies guild in mythic next xpac

Depends on how comprehensive you want to be with it. In the context of "guides for new players" I doubt class guides are really necessary... leveling isn't much more than "push buttons...make things fall down...repeat." Rotations don't become either complicated or important until endgame at which point you aren't dealing with a new player anymore.

If you were trying to branch out though, you'd almost certainly have to do them all and I'd start with whichever jobs you're most familiar with while you research the others.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a detailed rotation, class mechanics and ways to cheat death. This coming from a raider point of view. And I spend time looking and playing each class so I can figure out which is the best for what jobs etc. Habit from previous years.

If you're doing it from a raider point of view, start with Void Ark or Alexander 1, which are the two things a fresh 60 are most likely to hit as a serious raid that gives them trouble these days. "My First 8 Man Raid" type thing.

I'd stress the importance of DoTs, dodging over positioning, etc. For example, bard and machinist each have multiple abilities that ignore the cast time caused by WM and GB. Knowing that you can dodge whenever those abilities are up will affect your rotation, but I see so many fellow bards and machinists just stand in one place like a dummy during them.

Triple Triad Video is up. It's something I've been wanting to make for a long time. Honestly I'd take a stand alone game!

You can see the video here!
