About as lb,stubs and elixer

So first off on last wtf does the lb do on ast it doesn't heal change moves are anything, could just be me but it feels really bad to PvP with. Second off some stubs you can cure while others you can't do a thing about,bin front lines there needs to be either half the players on each team or we need more ways to prevent stun locking (being supervised why posting, but why do some lbs 1 shot and some feel like garbage.


And about the series why is there 0 point past 25 I mean Elly should get cool things at 30+

Also you really need to add more mad ass mouths to buy for crystals/marks tbh all the gear from VP outside Republicans look like shit and laxyly designed.. Overall put some effort into PvP

Your spells or cast time ability's are doing same damage as melted and bards non cast and that's way 2 unfair to casters like blm







Also half sleep should be made sleep completely it seems unfair some jobs get a pure stunt and others get jack

Just looking at the outfits and special cards farmers I can tell you put little to no effort into PvP content it just repeats of half as job IDC about this content from the devs


Ps damage wise

I feel mele and quick action jobs have way to much damage for what is expected of them, as a caster or mechanic u got cast time you can be killed before go off or they just walk around corner pop and elixer where u can't hit cuz ur range limit


Also exilers need a cd of 60 seconds to many pol abuse that


Like I'm sorry but casters either need more damage to make up for what they have to deal with or melted need to be deceased by half


Overall its sad because cc is extremely fun its just not worth it with the trashy rewards you can buy

Oh boy, that is a lot to unpack. I hope you don't mind if I merge some of the points you repeated and answer them in segments.

1.) AST's LB "Celestial River" is the strongest buff + debuff Limit Break of all jobs, enhancing your nearby party members' damage by up to 30% and reducing nearby enemy damage by up to 30%, decaying 10% every 5 seconds. Make no mistake - even without party members an Astrologian with The Balance and Celestial River ready can burst for over 50,000 damage doing the following combo while being relatively safe on their own:

• The Balance -> Celestial River -> Fall Malefic -> Doublecast -> Gravity II -> Doublecast + Macrocosmos

2.) Most "stubs" (CC/Crowd control?) can be healed and resisted with Purify, Resilience (from Purify) and Guard. Exceptions are Limit Break based effects such as Hysteria from "Tenebrae Lemurum" (Reaper), Charmed from "Contradance" (Dancer), Meteo Drive from... "Meteo Drive" (Monk) which can't be Purified or resisted and pierce Guard, as well as Miracle of Nature (White Mage) which only ignores Purify + Resilience, but isnt a Limit Break (something many criticize for good reasons).

3.) Range, conditions, buffs, Limit Break charge time and value all matter when they design such Limit Breaks. Zantetsuken for example can only one-shot targets under the effect of "Kuzushi" from their defensive ability "Hissatsu: Chiten". Hitting multiple enemies requires them to be bundles up in a 5y radius from the first target. It also shares the longest charge time of 120s with PLD's Phalanx, SGE's Metoses and BRD's Final Fantasia.

Other Limit breaks excel from higher uptime to the point of being part of a job's core fighting style (GNB, RPR, BLM) or provide a variety of buffs and debuffs that can turn the tide in other ways. Feel free to read up the details about job actions here: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/pvp/

4.) + 5.) Well the purpose is more Trophy Crystals which can be exchanged for Trophy Crystal vendor items, including Wolf Collars which can be spent on Hellhound Weapons or be broken down into Wolfmarks which allows you to buy more Wolfmark items and consumables, like Dark Matter Grade 8, Materia Grade X or Squadron Rationing Manual which enhances food buff effects to 45min regardless of Free Company effects.

As for the quality of the glamour in question, I believe there is a rich amount of gear options ranging from original pieces like Republican, Late Allagan, The Twelve and Genyo gear as well as the job specific Pack and Packliege sets. As for whether you like them, tastes differ! Not every gear design can be made to suit everyone's tastes. As for the recolours from Trophy Crystals, I feel like a lot of them are well received and look fairly well. I would not be against more / better, but resource budgets are a thing, so it is up to them how much they want to invest into PvP.

6.) I think there is some misconception you have about Caster damage, they are actually pretty well off and all have great options that doesn't involve casted spells.

• Black Mage - can use Aetherial Manipulation on ally, enemy or self for movement + grants Swiftcast, making the next cast instant. Also has access to instantcast Paradox. As for damage - Flare and Freeze hit for 12000 damage and can be used six times instantcasted under Limit Break, Burst and Foul hit for 16000 damage and hitting Superflare deals 3000 damage per stack up to 9000 + damage over time if it was Fire stacks, it also ignores line of sight. This is plenty.
• Summoner plays like a hit-and-run Caster with decent instant cast options, as well as a lot of annoying soft CC (knockback, draw-in, bind). Most attacks are AOE and the Summon Limit Breaks ignore line of sight and do great damage or support in a wide area. Survivability is also decent with Radiant Aegis.
• Red Mage in a 20s cycle hardcasts two spells max. The rest is dualcasted or instant. Resolution provides Bind or Silence depending on your Shift and your melee combo paired with your mobility skills provide a lot of damage and/or survival. Magick Barrier and Frazzle also offer great group effects depending on what the situation calls for and the Limit Break does a LOT of damage in a tight space.

Physical Ranged aren't drastically different from Caster in that aspect, arguably Bard MIGHT be a bit underperforming without 3 charges of Empyreal Arrow. Melees generally aren't crazy either safe for Dragoon, which got absolutely gigabuffed when it was already great damage wise, so that one is the sole outlier here. As for Elixir... this is a common strategy, this is where you either need to use callouts to ensure kills BEFORE they can leave, deep dive into the enemy lines as a group or have someone do that on their own who is good at that to ensure they can't elixir and waste time.

7.) Absolutely not. Night Wing (sleep) is AOE + instantcast and does a lot of damage when they get woken up with a hit. Black Mage also has extremely frequent access to Deep Freeze utilising Blizzard spells and Superflare, which is equal to stuns.

8.) As mentioned in point 6, if they managed to run away and get to elixir, that's on your team to fix. If they don't do it, then you have to. No need to slap an abritrary cooldown on a 4.5s cast.
