The Wolve's Den

Looks neat, I wonder if the strat is to take down the healer first haha

Beat me to it!

ofc they LB the WAR, the pally would survive that

I think that video should be renamed to "LOOK AT OUR FLASHY ANIMATIONS".

Well... looks like it going to be a dps race vs each other healers.

Anyway, base on what I know about pvp, kill the lalafell first they are gil greedy and evil and most likely kill you in your sleep a night before the matchthe cutest looking oppoent first. Just to be sure.

I thought PvP was going to have its own set of abilities so they didn't have to affect PvE balance? I didn't see a single new ability there, only existing ones... Same animation, different affect perhaps?

Healers are the first to die in every single game ever. nothing new here

Lol, that looked so lame. It might be fun I dunno, but I would not show that as a promotion for PvP if I were SE tbh.

I think bringing 4vs4 as the first PvP content is not a smart idea, I would have prefered Frontlines or something like 10vs10 with objectives. 4vs4 sounds dull and it will be worse if the party is required to have 1 tank, 1 healer and two dps to queue for PvP.

Read the video description (nobody does, I don't blame you).

Here's hoping they implement either some kind of debuff for moving or buff for not moving, otherwise this is going to devolve pretty quickly into "circle strafe to mess with targeting/combos". Imagine it'll be hell for casters who haven't painstakingly set a /facetarget macro.

That sounded like additional actions that just remove enfeebles, whereas up till now it was implied we'd have a completely new set of abilities instead of our existing ones, in order to avoid PvE balance issues.

Oh, and is anyone else disappointed that Jobs are involved? I was hoping PvP would finally make Classes a thing at Lv50...

I was kinda hoping they include the crafters and gatherers too.

Really wanna see Alchemist throwing acid around, botanist chopping legs, miners mining the insides of others or maybe weavers sewing ppl up for real.

Seriously SE make it happen.

Possibly. The video description also mentions unique skills, it could very well be a mix of both regular skills, regular skills with altered effects and PVP exclusive skills.

I pray to Halone that we are not forced to have 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 dps for PvP.

Yet another thing that makes me sad that I like warriors. They seem to get the shaft in every aspect minus whatever dream world server Yoshi plays on where warriors aren't sucky.

Hmm the abilities don't "look" very different. This doesn't bode well for me as a monk =(

Winter 2013>.> Looks like 2.1 will be for xmas..

Feeling empty inside after watching that "pvp" video. Just cannot find words how to describe it. Single empty space as pvp arena and characters standing still using abilities on different targets.

If you want to emulate the real thing, just circle strafe around a training dummy.

Until/if we're proven otherwise.
