Why are Black mages so upset about PVP?

[synaesthetic]

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.
