PVP!

[Urteil]

There doesn't need to be balance in PVP, it's not a game mechanic.

Come again?

Okay, then you are doing it wrong, its easy to hit you without being immobilized.

Therefore I'm not "doing it wrong" ? You're right, it is easy to hit people without them being immobilized. That's one of the things that makes BLU strong.

If you are in melee range within 5-7 yalms and smacking somebody with a close range weapon. It is impossible to run away and both melee someone.

Exactly the problem. But if you are a melee and you run away, you can't get TP to weapon skill, unless you're SAM or /SAM or you're DNC.

Running away is when somebody leaves the engagement range, when you forcibly sheathe your weapon while staring at their backside.

Running away is running away. There's no funny fancy definition. Nobody likes it when you fidget around turn and run, even if it's not out of engagement range.

Fidgeting and breaking target lock and running through the guy are "legal" tactics, but it just drives people crazy and then they don't want ot play anymore. I've had a fair few people stop doing ballista because they couldn't stand me and other people doing that. Seperate issue from balance, of course, but worth mentioning.

These people need to learn how to use the directional keys for their character. I quickly got the hang of it when I turned in my adventuring coupon. You used to be able to find them on the AH, if they still existed it would be nice for people who still can't do this to go pick up a few. It might even teach them how to use the map functions and maybe the real problem is they can't target PC/NPC's.

Aha. Thats it.

Either way I don't think they exist on the AH anymore so all these unfortunate people are out of luck. Its a shame.

I meant, its easy to hit /you/. This problem seems to be peculiar to you.

I was being a bit of a jerk, I apologize.

However you are correct in that Blue Mages are not affected by the capping of damage on their magic. Their debuffs are also encoded differently completely circumventing most resistance traits and gear affecting it.

^ This is the real problem.

Never the less they are very beatable.
