PVP 7.0

Hello Warriors of light,

I know we are still a ways away from 7.0 but hey it's fun to speculate right? Sometimes anyway.

So any ideas of what they might do too PVP in 7.0? How to improve it and make it more fun and exciting? Give it some new life.

Well I have an idea. What if they gave all jobs a second limit break. 2 limit break bars. Now we will still have our first bar limit break but if we don't want to use it or need to use it we can save it up for an even more powerful limit break at 2 bars. I have ideas for a few jobs already. Healers basically.

WHM: Mass Benediction: Heals all teammates within 20y to full hp/mp.
SCH: Safe Zone: Creates a dome 10y. While standing inside players take 90% less damage for the first 5 seconds. Effect is reduced by 30% every 5 seconds after. 15 seconds total for the dome.
AST: Fortunes Gift: Gives every card effect, balance, arrow and bole quadrupled value for 15 seconds.
SGE: Reversed Rejuvenation Veil: Places a barrier around each player and for the next 6 seconds 70% of all attacks taken is converted too healing. (Think of it as reversed kardia)

Are these quite powerful abilities? Yes they are but of course with pvp we can sorta get away with this. Plus these are 2 bar limit breaks. Meaning you have to wait longer to use them and you can't use your level 1 limit break if you wanna get to use your 2 bar limit break.

Anyway, what would your ideas be for jobs 2 bar limit breaks. I'm excited to read your responses.

I really don't want to be a kill joy, but after some consideration I don't think certain jobs could even go with another Limit Break - some are basically LB2 already (PLD's Phalanx, SGE's Mesotes) both in power/impact and how long it already charges.

While the idea sounds fun, some of the things you listed are horrendously overpowered without a change how Limit Break charges.

Fortune's Gift for instance just takes Celestial River to a different level by adding a quad power arrow to the damage and mitigation as well as removing the decay. Safe Zone also essentially forces the enemy to disengage from you, -60% and more for the majority of the time basically means you are unable to even pressure them.



So what features would I suggest?
- changing how Limit Break charges (more interesting for FL)
- turn it back from 12 button pvp to 16 button pvp, giving each job three new job-specific actions (not counting additions that only appears under certain conditions, like Atonement over combo button) and a global action "Fetter Ward" to give the option to engage or predict against incoming CC
- CC resist under a recently suffered type, including knockback/draw-in like it was prior to 6.1
- Miracle of Nature becoming a Silence.
- rework Cloud Nine's map layout, it has horrible lack of cover and no worthwhile flanks, especially on middle.

Yeah I realize they are very powerful and more than likely we aren’t getting a 2nd limit break bar. But it’s pretty fun to speculate.

That's fair, I mean there is a trend of x.1 patches bringing bigger PvP changes.

now we're cooking!

Copy battle field from warcraft. Like capture the flag in warsong gulch. Hybrid of domination and capture the flag in eye of the storm. Asymmetric map like strand of the ancient (one side siege with siege vehicle, one side defend the gates). Another map added during mist of pandaria where Someone got to hold a ball to earn points for the team while gaining vulnerability stacks. And they are all two team maps. They seem like good idea, Idk why se doesn't just take these idea. Back in the days when l played warcraft, battlefield were basically all l do.

I’m not into rival wings. I do wonder what they will do to it in 7.0. Will it survive or be removed?

i think SAM will get its LB changed. i am too bad a SAM player to use it properly and honestly i don't see many SAM players use it very well either. it gets obvious when they're trying to proc chiten on you if you're not going unga bunga.
