Pvp is kind of a joke. 2 pve style groups in a small pit fight to the death, dont get me wrong arena has its perks but theres just not enough to the pvp system to make it fun. First of all, why are the groups being formed based on pve requirements? tanks are pretty unnecessary in PVP, they have their uses but I would much rather have another healer or dps on my team, by forcing the teams to be 2 dps 1 heal 1 tank youve already dumbed down the best part of pvp, which is trying your self out against all scenarios. and with 4v4 arena being the only option, I see no reason to pvp at all, ive already seen everything Im going to see in pvp. We need duels, 2v2, 3v3, and larger battlegrounds where 8v8 can participate in a capture the flag type competition, Remove the role requirements in pvp.
Also remove the character limit in forums beccause I'm not done talking yet...
My two cents.

As a healer, the class seems stupid. I love healing, and I do fair enough in pvp, but because of the interupt mechanics, I might as well remove 3/4ths of my spells from my action bar because they NEVER will be used, I only cast Aqua if i can get away or have surecast, other than that its lustrate all day long, occationally using a blizzard around a corner to freeze people. again, I feel like pvp is dumbed down and breaks the mechanics of classes...
Whats odd enough, is dragoons, who seem like they are BUILT for pvp, seem to suck at it all together. I dont know if the dragoons im playing with just suck, but they have 3 gap closers with jumps and what 3 stuns? yet they still cant hold me down long enough to kill me... The obvious fix to this problem would be to give dragoons more mobility, run speed boosts, and a slightly bigger attack range. It would make sense, they have a spear, attacking from 10 feet away is not unlikely... -

you can edit your post to overcome the character limit.

Listen, are you sure your just not upset cause your having bad luck with PvP?
Not trying to be mean or make fun just wondering.
You should try a different group setup perhaps.
A lot of people are actually quite happy with PvP
and it just seems like people who aren't good at it yet make posts like these. -

Everybody wants to give you their two cents. The problem is most people just swallowed a couple of pennies and expect you to not mind when they come out covered in...

Its been 2 days.
Your not patient enough for your "two cents" to matter.
BTW, they forced a standard 4 person group with 2 dps, 1 heal, 1 tank because if they didn't, no one would use a tank in PVP. -
12-20-2013, 05:06 AMAtriousIf you came into FF14 thinking that PvP was going to be good you were already mistaken. It was a known fact that the aim of the game was PVE. So I wouldnt expect things to happen to fast. Just saying.Quote:

@OP This isn't World of Warcraft - if you want to play that PvP, exactly as you are laying it out here, go back to WoW.

As I said, I haven't touched it yet so I don't know if thats viable or not. -

WoW ruined pvp in their own game, in vanilla it was fun but once they started trying to balance it it ruined pve i enjoy doing Pvp for fun but i dont want them to start making changes to jobs cause they aren't up to par in pvp.

I'm not the best PVPer, but I can tell you that WAR and likely MRD are PVP beasts. Hard to kill, a few stuns and movement debuffs once you get the cross class stuff, and hitting pretty hard without Defiance on. My main role, most of the time, is to bother the healer and keep them locked down.Quote:

While I personally haven't tried PvP yet, I assume once people start getting access to the PvP specific abilities and gear that it'll seem less like 2 PvE groups going against each other.
