Multiple resources can be shown in single UI element, for example [[Sage|Sage's]] [[Addersgall]] gauge shows progress bar for replenishing [[Addersgall]], current amount of [[Addersgall]] stacks and current amount of [[Addersting]] stacks.

In [[PvP]], Job Gauges were previously present but have been removed with the PvP job overhaul in [[patch 6.1]].

==Simple Job Gauge==
==Simple Job Gauge==
Simple job gauges are simplified version of the original UI element. Simplified job gauges contain same information as the original, but they do not contain unnecessary graphical elements, like background images. Simplified job gauges of different [[Job]]s often look very similar if they work on similar basis. For example, simplified version of [[White Mage|White Mage's]] lilies and blood lilies are nearly identical to [[Sage|Sage's]] [[Addersgall]] and [[Addersting]], while their original version are easily distinguishable because of their very distinct graphical design.

And for jobs that have more than one gauge, you'll still be able to use the text command by adding a "1" or "2". Using the summoner's job gauge as an example:
For [[Samurai]], '''Job Gauge''' 1 is the [[Kenki Gauge|Kenki]] gauge, and 2 is the [[Sen]] gauge.


/jobhudmode 1 will change the Aetherflow Gauge, and
If [[Job]] has multiple UI elements, you can mix and match them however you want. You can use simplified [[Kenki Gauge|Kenki]] gauge while simultaneously use normal [[Sen]] gauge or any other combination.


/jobhudmode 2 will change the Trance Gauge.

[[File:simple job gauge5.jpg|400px]]
Settings for both styles of '''Job Gauges''' are saved on the HUD layouts 1 through 4 individually, so you can switch between all sorts of modes as you like.
 
For scholar, job gauge 1 is the Aetherflow Gauge, and 2 is the Faerie Gauge!

In addition, a series of musical notes or arrowheads appear when using Army's Paeon or The Wanderer's Minuet respectively. Whenever certain damage over time skills deal critical damage, these symbols will light up, granting the following effects;
* Series of musical notes or arrowheads appear when using [[Army's Paeon]] or [[The Wanderer's Minuet]] respectively. Whenever a Repertoire is triggered (which has random chance every 3 seconds), these symbols will light up, granting the following effects;
* For each note of Army's Paeon that is lit up, the Bard's weaponskills and spells are cast faster and have shorter recast times, and autoattacks are faster.
** For each note of [[Army's Paeon]] that is lit up, the Bard's [[weaponskill|weaponskills]] and spells are cast faster and have shorter recast times, and auto attacks are faster.
* For each note of The Wanderer's Minuet that is lit up, the potency of the new [[Pitch Perfect]] skill is increased (up to a maximum of 420).
** For each note of [[The Wanderer's Minuet]] that is lit up, the potency of the new [[Pitch Perfect]] skill is increased.

=== [[Machinist]] ===
=== [[Machinist]] ===
The Machinist has two seperate gauges - one for Ammunition, and one for Heat.
[[Heat Gauge]]:
* The Ammunition Gauge simply tracks how many special rounds the Machinist has loaded.
* '''Heat''' is a resource gained from a basic single-target or AoE combo. The action {{action icon|Hypercharge}} requires 50 '''Heat''' to use. {{action icon|Barrel Stabilizer}} will instantly increase '''Heat''' by 50.
* The Heat Gauge is only available whilst using [[Gauss Barrel]], and pushing the Heat Gauge to maximum causes the Machinist's weapon to overheat. This increases weapon power for a short time, then renders the weapon unusable for a short time. At higher levels, the Machinist has access to special Heated versions of the three basic weaponskills, further increasing damage whilst the Heat Gauge is within a certain range; careful heat management is required for maximum firepower.
[[Heat Gauge|Battery Gauge]]:
* '''Battery''' is a resource gained from successfully completing a single-target combo, using {{action icon|Hot Shot}} / {{action icon|Air Anchor}}, or {{action icon|Chain Saw}}. The actions {{action icon|Rook Autoturret}} and {{action icon|Automaton Queen}} require at least 50 '''Battery''' to use and will consume all current '''Battery'''.

=== [[Dancer]] ===
Incomplete, requires updating
[[Step, Fourfold Feathers and Esprit Gauge|Step gauge]]:

'''Umbral Hearts''' reduce the cost of fire spells when in '''Astral Fire''' and are spent when casting fire spells ([[Flare]] instantly spends all remaining hearts). Losing [[Enochian]] removes all '''Umbral Hearts'''.
* [[Enochian]] timer and status
* [[Enochian]] timer and status. [[Enochian]] is activated whenever '''Astral Fire''' or '''Umbral Ice''' is entered and is lost when neither '''Astral Fire''' or '''Umbral Ice''' is active.

The Summoner has two gauges; an Aetherflow Gauge, and later, a Trance Gauge.
[[Aetherflow & Trance Gauge|Aetherflow gauge]]:

* The Trance Gauge has three functions. First, it tracks Dreadwyrm Aether. Second, it tracks the current duration of the Dreadwyrm Trance. Finally, after summoning Demi-Bahamut, the gauge indicates the remaining time before Demi-Bahamut disappears.
 
[[Aetherflow & Trance Gauge|Trance gauge]]:
* The '''Trance Gauge''' has three functions. First, it tracks '''Arcanum''', three different colored jewels. Each one is used to summon a different pet, which will perform a powerful AoE attack and augment the user's spells. Second, it tracks the current duration of {{action icon|Aethercharge}}, which later upgrades to {{action icon|Dreadwyrm Trance}}, and later still to the combat duration remaining for '''Demi-Bahamut''' after learning {{action icon|Summon Bahamut}}. Finally, after learning {{action icon|Summon Phoenix}}, the gauge will indicate whether the next Demi-Primal summon will be '''Demi-Bahamut''' or '''Demi-Phoenix'''.

Official Lodestone Job Guide (Always up-to-date)

Introduction

Job Gauge refers either to an user interface element first added during Stormblood (patch 4.0) that is used to track Job's specific resources or to resource itself. This includes, but is not limited, to:

Multiple resources can be shown in a single UI element, for example Sage's Addersgall gauge shows progress bar for replenishing Addersgall, current amount of Addersgall stacks and current amount of Addersting stacks.

Some gauges can be unevenly split into multiple UI elements, for example Samurai has 3 resources - Sen, Kenki and Meditation stacks. Sen has individual UI element, while Kenki and Meditation stacks share the same UI element.

In PvP, Job Gauges were previously present but have been removed with the PvP job overhaul in patch 6.1.

The Job Gauge Description may be viewed from the "Actions and Traits" window, with a ? button at the bottom of the window.

Simple Job Gauge

Simple Job Gauges are simplified version of the original UI element. They contain same information as the original, but they do not have unnecessary graphical components, like background images or overwhelming animations. Simplified Job Gauges of different Jobs often look very similar if they work on similar basis. For example, simplified version of White Mage's lilies and blood lilies is nearly identical to Sage's Addersgall and Addersting, while their original version are easily distinguishable because of their very distinct graphical design.

Switching between Normal/Simple Modes

You can switch between the normal and simple versions of the Job Gauge display through the individual HUD layout options.

  • You will need to be on the job you want to change your Job Gauge.

Sam gauge comparison.jpg

For Samurai, Job Gauge 1 is the Kenki gauge, and 2 is the Sen gauge.

If Job has multiple UI elements, you can mix and match them however you want. You can use simplified Kenki gauge while simultaneously use normal Sen gauge or any other combination.

Settings for both styles of Job Gauges are saved on the HUD layouts 1 through 4 individually, so you can switch between all sorts of modes as you like.
