Patch 6.4: Most AoE buffs increased in range.
Patch 6.3: Curing Waltz and Shield Samba usable while dancing. Extremely important QoL.

New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!

This guide seeks to teach new Dancers how to Dancer properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usage. Endgame is a long way away and there's lots to learn along the way. Start slow and work your way up one skill at a time! Then, graduate to more advanced guides.

    Bro this is the only DNC guide I’ve watched that wasn’t either overly technical, or conversely just reading the skill descriptions. Thank god I found this, should be the first thing that comes up on search for DNC guide. Gives all the info you need and good diagrams for showing rotation. Finally someone did it right. Ty homie.
  • @ladyellen7993
    Love when I’m second in enmity as a dancer, best feeling of superiority :P
  • @titleofprofile
    I just got Dancer yesterday and literally watched your Shadowbringers tutorial last night before bed. This is amazing timing! Thanks so much for all the work you do in these videos and making Dancer seem much less intimidating than I thought it was!
  • Greatly appreciate "In The Balance" as the background music for the Endwalker stuff. When I first heard it, I considered it a DNC's anthem, essentially. DNC is my favorite DPS, so it's also good to get a thorough explanation of the new Endwalker abilities, as I was worried if I was supposed to delay Tillana or use it right away. Thankfully, DNC is super forgiving so really it's just a matter of making sure I don't overwrite currently available procs from abilities.
  • Thanks for this guide! I was on the fence about trying Dancer, and this made me give it a go. I'm glad I did, because it's fun!
  • @sethbrady448
    Um excuse me, I'm a Dancer who does the Lali-Hop. No, but seriously, what a great vid about my main. Thanks for all of these guides! They've really helped me on the jobs I've struggled with, especially as I continue my grind to 90!
  • One thing to mention with Technical Finish since it is the big one I have seen doing level 90 8 man stuff - It doesn't stack if there are 2 dancers at the same time so if there is another dancer get space your technical step by 20 seconds to get a 40 second buff for the whole party.
  • @M0du5Pwn3n5
    Your "this...to this" are just getting better and better. Also, incredible timing because I was just getting started leveling my Dancer literally today.
  • First video I'm watching after getting back into FFXIV after a break. I know I can always trust your content to help guide me. 👍 Wonderful as always.
  • @birdyballs69
    I've only been playing for a year, and I always look for your videos to see the direction to take a class. That being said, I'm leveling machinist and warrior so I'm hoping one is next lol
  • @ccarr1025
    one of your best 'This..... to THIS!" intros so far. LOL
  • @kinda_random335
    Thank your for the guide! I’m always going back to this on my way to dawntrail. Post game S blood here ! 😅
  • @8orbit
    dance. dance. dance. dance. I love your guides, mate, thanks so much!
  • Eyyy, my Main gets a Guide. It's been a crazy ride mastering this class. From learning how to Double Weave/Pool your feathers to understanding that you can't double weave a Standard/Tech Step. Been using it for this tier of Savage as my first time doing it. Having a blast I honestly love this class, my only gripe is Improv because I can't use it too many times. I feel like it should have been a Step but instead we can choose to do 4 moves like a normal Tech Step but each one gives some HP restored rather than standstill for about 4 seconds to get the first proc.
  • @UberBri
    I love this guy! No long into, very savvy, relevant, and poignant!
  • @KitBits
    “Simple and clean is the way you’re making me feel tonight” pls, What a legend
  • @jubed

  • @darealamana8850
    excellent guide as always. Also love the Kingdom hearts reference.
