The Truth Behind Crowd Control
I have been gathering information on CC and the Reduction Materia you can earn. I have found no clear solution to working your way around it even with a heavy grind.
Example: "Fungar Shriek Materia" +2 Sleep resist @ 1250 seals that's 25 wins(Max) or 125 loses (Max) @ Rank 18
PvP Gear Slots 15= 30 sleep resist
Sleep Resist per 5 removes 2 seconds from the effect
Players would have to spend 18,750 seals That's 375 wins (Max) or 1,875 Losses (Max) for a 6 second reduction.
Using a sleep resist potion adds +15 making it 12 seconds but only for 15 seconds.
Add the food Black Drop +3 or +5 HQ sleep resist for 30 mins
That's 6s with materia, 7-8s with food for 30m & 12s every 90s (max)
Sleep is 30 seconds the first time 15 the second and 7 the final sleep before enemies become immune for 1 minute.
From what "I observed" in PvP the resist doesn't work on the second or third sleep only the first (correct me if you find this in error).
This makes PVP too intricate to be effective for general play or even enjoyable. The matches boil down to who has the better Crowd Control.
