Should I keep Marauder or stay as Warrior?

[Daelight]

I've just hit 30s and got soul of the warrior emblem job. Makes sense, all's good and nice so far.
But, I am puzzled even more now. I see so many new skills on the Warrior branch, and I also like the stats it gives, I am trying to setup as a secondary profile Warrior skills without affecting the Marauder ones I already have. But there's still so many!!!!! Am I supposed to use all skills between Marauder AND Warrior? Some of Warrior's skills seem to have less timing but the exact same ability as Marauder, feels almost like duplicate skills but higher level.

Am I supposed to fill all of my 32 bars on my controller with both of them's abilities? Or should I use specific ones only like some from Mar some from War? I hope that is the case, otherwise BIG rip, will be super anxious with so many skills....

All with the same name, they all the same just use warrior. When you are warrior just look at skills and use those. Don't put duplicates on bar.

By duplicates I meant some of Marauder's skills doing the same thing but their level is lower, that's what I meant by "if I need to replace with Warrior's skills only instead." Anyway, good to know, thanks for telling me.

Jokes aside, because I am sleep deprived and my eyes are burning up, for real or you were jesting? In that case, which abilities should I replace? - I get Warrior is way stronger and from what I read from the skills they seem like a better version of each, just don't know which ones to replace from Marauder's.

like I said before, all will have a "use" but moves like Holmgang, Interject, Shrink and even Upheaval may never see use for the "average" player

its up for you to decide what kind of tank you'll be

Alright, thanks.

It's an automatic switch, there's no input on your part aside from equipping the Warrior's Soul crystal. But to explain with total clarity: Berserk becomes Inner Release, Inner Beast and Steel Cyclone become Fell Cleave and Decimate

This all happens more or less automatically without input from you, you don't change out the weaponskills or ability in question. Just keep doing your class quests and have fun.

Wait, when you say they change automatically, like, right now I see them greyed out and I was panicking, like earlier, I was like "Oh, ♥♥♥♥, I have to use all of Marauders skills AND Warrior's skills at the same time in each fight?" Like, using berserk and inner release, and heavy swing > maim > storm eye/path > cyclone > fell cleave > decimate, etc. Was panicking actually lmao.

But when you guys say "it happens automatically/they change on their own" like, how? Are these skills gonna go away/being replaced on their own automatically by these stronger versions later? If that's the case, that would be cool.

Yes they get replaced in most cases you cant even re equippt the old skill (though it will revert back when you join lower level contend) also don´t get to overwhelmed by skills that are comming up later most of the time you have ample chance to get used to a new skill that gets added by level up or class quest getting you used to it.

Only time that is not true is when you start a class with a higher starting level like Redmage,Samurai,Gunbreaker and Dancer as those are filled up to lvl 50/60 with skills ^^

I understand, alrighty then. If this is true, then it might be less than 30 even! These are great news, thank you very, very, VERY much for this info! Now I am less anxious than before!

Hello there and welcome to FF14.

You will always switch to the Job version anytime you unlock one; It is an upgraded version of the Class.

In the skills menu, you will see there is a section for "class" and "job" and you will grab everything there. Some of those actions are actually the same ones and they will automatically upgrade (when you level up) or downgrade (such as in synced content) with your level. If you just place everything and get rid of the duplicates, you will be set!

There are also actions in Role Actions, as well as in General (specifically Limit Break and Sprint)

Warrior is actually on the lower end of buttons but every job can fit everything within a typical set up of 32-40 buttons. If you look at the Character Configuration, you can set up the Expanded to access a hotbar of your choice with both triggers enabled.

You can also set up the Double Cross Hot Bar (WXHB for short) to access a hotbar by double-tapping the triggers.

So between your primary, expanded, and double that's 3*16 = 48 buttons to easily access (or 40 if you make your expanded do the same thing for L+R and R+L)

There is also "set selection" switching if you want to set up a more selective switch so that tapping the R1 button can go to only hotbars you specify during battle ("weapon is drawn"). My recommended use of this feature is to only use it for your Primary and a backup hotbar that is not on your Expanded or WXHB, though you should honestly not need it if you're running the other two options. If you're not though, this is a great way to get an extra hotbar in. Controller actually has a lot of button availability, it'll never be an issue once you figure out what customizations are right for you.

For hotbars where you don't use the above features and instead use the Direct Switching options (R1 + the corresponding button), I would save that for your non-battle actions such as Teleport, mounts, emotes, gear sets, etc... In total, you get access to 8 hotbars so saving 3 of them for battle and 5 for non-battle should have plenty of space.

If you would like to see examples of various set ups and explanations on how to do all of these things, you can refer to this very comprehensive guide:

Thank god I main tank and will NEVER have you as my tank if you can't handle a simple class change.

Don't worry, I wouldn't like to have a teammate like you, either. Also, this post is old now, why reviving it? Just to throw salt? Grow up and move on.

If you had read any of the threads Noel started around this time (he started fair number), you would have realized that Noel was brand new to the game.

He was asking in case there was a choice, like you can go to Warrior 80 or Marauder 80, and if so which was better.

A perfectly innocent question.

Did you know everything about the game when you started playing?

Another "special" person here. The post is old. I was very new to the whole game, things like class change was something new to me. It's been so long since then, and I know things about the game WAY more than I used to before when I made this post. I think the real dumb one here is you. Grow up and move on.

It hasn't even been a month yet. You're still new. You're more green than Gridania.

That was good, I have to admit on this one. lol

It's alright, it doesn't matter to them. No point arguing and making it a big deal. This is how some people want to be like, for no reason, that shows how lonely or empty they must be to feel the need of checking old posts and recovering them just to throw some salt or a bait.
