Ballista Reborn!

I really like PvP in this game, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

No gear swaps means you need to balance your gear between damage mitigation and damage improvement, or whatever best suits your job.

The real downfall is the unbalanced jobs. RDM BLU BLM SCH have a big advantage simply because of Bind, Sleep, Break, and Stun. Even further with Silence, Paralyze, and Slow. Debuffs are pretty much the most crippling thing in PvP, and BLU can do them all + crazy spike damage making it nearly invincible. Full Evasion set? Bam. Regurgitation'd to death.

A lot of those balance issues go away when you put it in a group setting. If you try to fight a mage job as a THF 1v1... then it's no question who SHOULD win (I say should, because the player's skill will always be an X factor.)

But in a huge match, alot of the AoE's lose potency even with something simple like breaking parties/alliances. Sleepga isn't very game breaking when it's only hitting 1 or 2 people (regardless of if they have poison up or temps to recover.)
