Why are Black mages so upset about PVP?

[Zenfull]

This has prob already been said, i didn't look. All of the casters get a pvp skill that has 10 seconds of no spell interupt. u might not always be able to go uninterupted, but when you do you drink dos equis.

I see what you did there :-)

Equanimity II, cast anything you want without interruption for 20 seconds. Depending on buffs on the target and debuffs on you, you should at least down one player in 20 seconds. That's five casts and a raging double flare.

Attunement may look nice for healers, but they can't cast while it's active. But Blast Shot, Aura Blast, Skewer, and Mythril Tempest will be thorns in the side of a BLM that just popped Eq II.

As a BLM myself, Stop your bitching before you get to try it out, remember our class has more then 4 spells. You may just use your fire Fire 3 thunder 2 and blizzard 3 but if you ACTUALLY know how to BLM you will be fine. Sure we are gonna have to burn swiftcast and probably surecast, But tell me honestly.. What else do you use surecast for ._.

You're welcome to agree with poor design decisions, but that doesn't mean everyone on a PUBLIC FORUM has to agree with you.

The cooldown on Equanimity is so long you'll probably get one use per match. Gee, I get 20 seconds of actual play before I go back to running around spamming my newly-nerfed lolscathe.

I don't like it when MMO PvP does this. It's very lazy to base your player vs. player content around denial, and it makes the person on the receiving end feel powerless and without agency.

QQ as with any pvp just Los and have the right group comp, you will freecast. and if ur focused run around and live so ur teammates can kill zzzzz

I don't care? I want PvP to be fun in a way it's not going to be the way it is currently designed, so I am opting out. It doesn't matter which class I PvP as, as long as it's designed entirely around denial, it will not be fun. Either you're not having fun because you're always losing, or you aren't having fun because you're steamrolling everyone.

I'm waiting for someone to make an MMO with PvP that has absolutely no crowd control abilities whatsoever. Losing control of your character doesn't feel fun or challenging. Getting locked down by CC spam is miserable. It removes your agency completely. You don't have any realistic counter. You just die.

It feels cheap and frustrating.

Monk has to be in melee range, and Bard can only pop Blunt Arrow once.
