"Casting will always be interuppted [sic] upon receiving direct damage."

PVE and PVP should be 100% different from each job and should have its own stats and starts everyone on the same level. thats there problem. knowing SE PVP will be horrible for the next 10 years.

Hell no, guild wars 2 made you instantly level 50 in pvp and it was awful.

Indeed. They should try doing that with PvE, though.

[Kiokin]

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.

I'm so glad you're talking about this as if you've experienced it. When did you get a chance to play something no one else has?

[KoujiGeki]

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.

did they change it to instant cast?

[Evangela]

Told ya. They hate mage classes. I know it since 1.0.

its not rocket science, and its in the notes that Hitting is an interrupt and mages have a cone of sight, and they cant move and cast, it wont be hard to exploit. Imagine Dark Souls if you will will the stabbing from the side and using the lag to pull off a backstab

[Maqaqa]

Just like DAOC. Someone will need to learn to push/pull/keep the distance.
If it isnt laggy its good.

It's not rocket science? What you're doing right now is speculating something you haven't experienced yet. That's like doing rocket science without even knowing what a rocket is. And you did not just tell me to compare this game to another that is not only completely different, but is not online? What the hell is wrong with you?

Any direct hit. (does not affect DoT's) Have you seriously forgotten about our instants? (which includes aetherial manipulation) For moving I have scathe and fire III proc and an instant proc on thunder. Lets not forget to mention transpose for mp regen. Now what happens if I add in swiftcast and surecast?

I'm sure you can get the picture that its probably not going to be a one sided fight you think it will be. I've 'kited' plenty of mobs I shouldn't have been able to in ARR already and solo killed plenty of NM fates on my BLM as well.

umm dark souls is online. and im comparing to wow now that you mention since the game copied wow, and wows pvp isnt that exciting either. Ive played other mmo pvp there is literally nothing this game can to do that will make pvp unique at all, EVER. Its not hard to guess how it will end up. IT WILL be either kill the whm first or get limit off first is the win dont be naive.
