PvP insanely imbalanced (Dragoon Perspective)

Duty finder groups can be frustrating, but DRG/BRD is good. After I hit rank 30 on MNK, I am switching to WAR and playing WAR/DRG/BRD/SCH.

once you go MNK you won't go back :P

Weak combination? Must be why my friends have brd and drg team with near 100 wins and 10 losses.

If players sprinting and kiting you is an issue, then you need to work more closely with your tank(and the rest of your team) to keep a player locked down while you burst.

Also it sounds like you're expecting Feint to actually slow their movement speed.
The effect you need for that is Heavy.
Slow only affects their global cooldown and auto attack delay.

This. Some of the most succesful/ smooth PvP matches I've had have been with a dragoon in the party, me being paladin. If you work with your tank you can burst down the healer fairly quickly. Its harder sometimes if the healer is very good at kiting and such but thats the nature of the game. Sometimes you're opponent is highly skilled other times not. Just work on your strategy based on your team composition. Bards are nice because they can also focus the healer, rotate stuns and silences between the 3 of you on the healer or blm or whoever and they're toast.

lol @ the kids calling him bad at pvp... since when did an MMO developer ever get new content right on launch. If you think that pvp in this game is balanced or perfect, then you have absolutely lost your mind. It's fun, but not even remotely balanced. As was expected for launch pvp.

BRD / DRG is one of the top tier comps atm. SMN / DRG is also slightly better, as it performs similar to WLD from WoW

BRD/DRG Comp i'm guessing is really good at Burst? I've only ran with mnk/drg so far, which has worked fine up until now at least.

It plays like War / Hunter KFC from WoW. It has excellent burst that can completely destroy a healer of either class on top of a silence window. Out of the comps I've ran, it's the 2nd strongest, first being SMN / DRG which operates like WLD. The room for error with DRG / BRD is less than SMN / DRG but the kill power is very high.
