Black Mage in PVP

I feel like we arent strong mostly because really good bards can just auto attack 1 time while moving and interrupts our casts. You may say get behind walls, but then we are not in LOS to attack anyone.

Basically if anyone breathes on us its over. It would be fine if we had a lot of dots, but even thunder 2 takes a while to cast in PVP.

Also why is summoner so much better than us and gets a raise?


Any help on PVP with blm

Yeah you guys should like get a aoe sleep or something.

Your job isn't to dps in PvP right away. A BLM with their ae sleep is to sleep the opposing team first then blow them up one by one.

We have everything we need to kick arce
Night wing, Equinamity, Surecast, Lathargy, Raging swiftcast Flare, we rock two BLM's and we go 50+ wins without losing, communication and playerskill is the most important after having a couple of pvp abilitys. Its really not imbalanced if your good you can avoid shit by line of sighting and if Casters are good they can bind/slow and run away hell even surecast sleep. Thats why you have teammates to help you if your getting attacked to frequently

BLM feels hit or miss. Granted I still need more practice with BLM considering my mains have been BRD/MNK, but I feel BLM gets shut down way too easily. Once swiftcast is down you can't do much. You die fast, people can purify out of your sleeps, your DPS is tremendously low and easily avoidable, the only good thing about it seems to be sleep and most people seem to know how to counter that now.

Do all classes skills get interrupted upon taking damage? I know most classes have skills that take a sec to use. Either animation or cast time. They just need to make it where every class that takes damage can't use another skill for 7.5 seconds. Best fix for pvp.... oh and give everyone a water pistol that does the same damage that doesn't incur those penalties. Perma longterm fix for pvp...

Essentially this. With a BLM on my team either we do really well, or we get destroyed cause he/she dies too fast.
