After 14 years, players are betraying their class in Final Fantasy XIV because they prefer the new one

In addition to the Viper, the Pictomancer is a new job in the Dawntrail expansion of the MMORPG. Players in Final Fantasy XIV have now had enough time to test the class. Fans are now exchanging opinions and raving about the Pictomancer. He is said to be so good that many players are now ignoring a certain job.

What job is it? The pictomancer is a magical ranged fighter and therefore belongs to the same category as the black mage. The jobs are very similar:

  • Both jobs are designed for maximum damage
  • They have long spell loading times, which is why they stand in one place most of the time
  • Although the Black Mage and the Pictomancer are both ranged magical fighters, unlike other representatives such as the Summoner, they cannot resurrect other characters.

    • In the current balancing patch, the development team even made sure that the difference between the Black Mage and the Pictomancer is not so great. That’s why the Pictomancer stayed as he is. The Black Mage was nerfed instead.

    But there are still many fans in the community who have changed their favorite class with Dawntrail. In the Reddit forum, some players report how much fun they have had since the change.

    “I finally tried it”

    Why did many players change jobs? A thread was started on the Reddit forum with a meme showing Andy from Toy Story throwing Woody to the ground. Woody in this case is supposed to symbolize the black magician who is given up for the pictomancer.

    In the comments, many players discuss why the Pictomancer is better. They say that outside of the 2-minute meta and the buff windows, it is less rigid than the Black Mage. With the hammer, you can move around wonderfully without having to worry about your damage.

    The Pictomancer feels fun and intuitive. It would be a pain that the class could not revive, but that was a price worth paying. Because bosses like Suzie Buzz Honeysweet require more movement in the new expansion, the Pictomancer is the better choice.

    But there are also some dissenting voices. One user has been a black mage since patch 2.0 and will always remain so. In addition, the black mage is simply cooler with his explosions, even if the pictomancer may have better gameplay quality.

    The Black Mage is one of the oldest classes in Final Fantasy XIV and has been part of the game since its release 14 years ago. During this time, players have apparently remained steadfast despite 13 new jobs – but with the Pictomancer, the Black Mage now seems to have serious competition.
