Wolves' Den, the first genuine player versus player combat in the FF series"

[Cojika]

Pvp on FFXI was a joke, there was very little to no balancing done as far as job match ups went. If you were melee and went up against a rdm, you might as well go to the bathroom or something while he killed you because you weren't gonna get out of sleep/bind/paralyze/whatever on top of their nukes. I just hope that with ARR they do some PVP side balancing(as in do seperate balancing for jobs that only affects the jobs in pvp) so that whatever class(es) end up being op get fixed.

Not true but you had to really get yourself near full in inventory with all the gear required to resist all that.

RDM + DMG Mitigation gear + Phalanx + Protect + Stone Skin + Caccoon (Or even defender) = Melee hitting the rdm for about 5-10dmg a hit. maby pushing 100-120 with weaponskills. But you have factor in the regen and high hp cures now and endless mp. I could killed 2 decked out amano sams and relic mnk on my rdm without even having a remote issue back in the day in XI. IT really was as unbalanced as people say.

Try going against a aegis/dring/excal pld with / rdm now that is fun in xi... lol takes literally no dmg from anything (Nidhogg hits for 8dmg a hit... PVP melee literally hit for 0 without Stoneskin if all the buffs were up) and the tank hits you for massive unresistable dmg with Excal procs
