Yeah, a Monk is going to run circles around a caster with this game's crazy latency. Good luck spamming a DRG's spear throw when it costs 120 TP.

hmmm spam spear throw while closing distance to blm even just turning around and elusive jump behind them and invigorate and proceed to face-rape. doesnt seem to hard to me

OMG, the PVP turns out to be bad and boring! Who...could ever see that coming with such a skilled PVP-Developer as SE?

How are you closing distance if the caster is moving away from you and you both move at the same speed? Nevermind the fact that PvP is going to be 4v4 so you also have to deal with the 3 other people potentially beating on you.

cause if they are moving away from you they cant....cast. but a drg can go lol spear toss. and as a pvper im not stupid enough to focus on a tank im going for the mages, unless se gives tanks an ability that makes you lock on tank that you yourself cannot even unlock i will never focus on the meat shield. its common sense.

slow, pew pew pew, sleep, insert kiting here, pew, you finally close in, aetherial manipulation to the healer (or tank) slow, pew pew pew. I'll even throw in a virus for you Maybe an occasional thunder as well

Sounds great to me

And as I've already said, the spear throw is 120 TP and does crap for damage, something your healer could definitely outheal. If its a healer you're going after, then good luck with the other 3 people beating on you, and more than likely snaring you in some way.

Can you please just wait until you play it before complaining about it? Seriously.

All magic users get Blizzard 2, an instant cast aoe snare that had its duration changed from 4 seconds to 8 seconds.

Its obvious this change was made for PvP, and it'll be a very crucial weapon in it.

Gap Closers:

MNK: Shoulder Tackle, Fists of Wind (not technically a gap closer per se)
DRG: Jump/Spineshatter/Dragonfire dive all three Dragoon jumps will place them next to the target (at least that's how I interpret the 'adjustment' they are making to jump's positioning).
WAR: Holmgang

Pushbacks/distancers

BLM: Aetherial Manipulation
WHM: Fluid Aura
BRD: (Forgot the name of it, evasive shot, something like that?)
DRG: Evasive Jump
SMN: Garuda has a pushback move

I think Scholar and Paladin are the only jobs without some form of distance manipulation.

except you cant kite cause you cant move and cast and since any hit is 100% and you AM can be counter with shoulder tackle so IF you do go to the healer you just put the monk right in the best spot possible.

You're interpreting it wrong. All they're doing is making it so DRG have control of their character faster out of a jump.
