Keeping this sticker on my monitor to remind me to be a good dps. 🔥

your ff14 wishes post crossed my dash, and i agree with a lot of them, but i wanted to ask: wasn't y'shtola originally a conjurer?

Yepp, indeed! However, just like Krile she was just a Conjurer and didn't get the White Mage upgrade (well, at least not yet?), which means worse stats and not as many skills.

Now, since I want more healers I will say that giving Y'Shtola the Scholar job might fit decently given her personality, but personally I just don't find the vibes of Y'Shtola being a full official healer, if that makes sense? Sure, she heals in a pinch, but her call is being our beloved Master of Destruction at this point.

At the very least they should allow her to upgrade to White Mage. Keeping her as a Conjurer or non-specified healer isn't enough in anything beyond HW or possibly Stormblood.

Now, ironically enough we DO have quite a few official healers on PAPER. We already have Urianger, Alphinaud and G'Raha - which usually is enough. The healer- (or tank, tbh) -problem only really come up when the gang splits up outside the usual teams.

I suppose the easiest way to solve this would be to let more characters get the "all-round" status G'Raha has with multiple jobs. If the writers/developers gave all the Scions more jobs it would also give them (the writers) bigger flexibility for the story and how they want to split up the characters. Tbh maybe ALL the Scions should have a tank or healer job paired with a DPS-job. Just to give some examples, imagine...

Alisaie: Red Mage / Gunbreaker Alphinaud: Sage / Pictomancer (or a future magic-tank that I hope for) Estinien: Dragoon / Dark Knight Krile: Pictomancer / Scholar Thancred: Gunbreaker / Machinist (or Viper?) Urianger: Astrologian / (Reaper, perhaps? or maybe a future magic tank) Y'Shtola: Black- / White Mage (or Scholar).

.

That way G'Raha isn't the only one with multiple jobs, and the writers are given more flexibility for the story/msq.

(Honestly though, anyone would be a better healer than Red Mage-Alisaie. I love ma' girl, but she's an awful healer). 😂👍🏽

Humble Request...

Humble (and his baby Koala) are pondering DPS job options. His main class is Warrior, but I'm a bit nervous of tanking pug groups, let alone pug raids. So I was thinking of buying a Job Boost on the Mogstore for him, so he can get through those parts of the story (he is early Stormblood, so no NPC parties for him yet sadly) and have some flexibility.

I have done all jobs on Mimble (aside from Sage) to at least 80, so I'm not too worried on missing out on Story, much as I enjoy them. The trouble is I can't really decide on the right job.

It would definitely (almost definitely) be a melee job. Humble is all about blunt force and straightforward approaches. Warrior suits him very well as a result. But for DPS...

Ninja - too stealthy and elaborate for Humble I think? Plus little tiny knives are not really his style? But maybe I'm overlooking something. He is shy, so maybe stealth would be something he was drawn towards?

Dragoon - too jumpy and bouncy possibly? Although stabbing things with the pointy end is the kind of tactic Humble might be comfortable with. Not sure, maybe too pokey and not smashy enough?

Samurai - too...blossomy? I don't know. Samurai swords are a bit dinky for Humble, not smashy enough. But if it's good enough for Gosetsu... And he is in Stormblood. But the art of the Samurai still feels a bit...precise for Humble...

Reaper - not an option for boosting anyway. Although I could wait until I get there of course (although it wouldn't help with current issues). Unless I boost another class to 80 and then use that to unlock Reaper? Is that a thing? Would Reaper be a bit too edgy anyway?

Monk - too acrobatic maybe? But punching things would be quite straightforward and Humble-esque perhaps? Monk does have a lot of positionals though and I can't see Humble dancing about too much.

I am very open to anyone's thoughts on the matter. Do you have a job you could recommend for the modern solution-focussed Roegadyn who enjoys smashing evil-doers into a pulp?

Image description: A series of labeled images with a title at the top saying “How it feels to play different roles in F F x i v”. The first is Tank, with a corresponding image of the man from the “look at me, I am the captain now” meme. The second is Healer, with an image of Tan France from Queer Eye saying “Make an effort”. The third is Melee D P S, with an image of a sign with black letters on a white board that says “hold on let me overthink this” in all capital letters. The fourth is Ranged Magic D P S, with an image of Gayle in a forest at a distance from the camera, and the caption on the image reads “screaming” in brackets. There is also white text at the top of the image which says “action interrupted”, also in brackets. The last is Ranged Physical D P S, which has an image of a field of yellow flowers on a clear sunny day, and a person doing a handstand, though only their waist and legs in cropped pants and socks are visible over the flowers. End description.
