The PvP Is AMAZING. Square Enix has delivered.

Basically, sleep is imba, but we can get purify skill (PVP skill 150 sec if maxed) that remove this things, and healer need to work to dispel this buff. This pvp quite balance as they made any casting will be interrupt by normal attack, to make cast harder to balance with thier sleeping skill. I tried as PLD and melee, we combo quite nice, stun lock while monk dps down the target > dead in few sec. Slow is a good skill to make caster dead by the hand of melee, I think mnk and lancer can get this skill.

Has anyone tested the sleep resistance materia/potions to see how they affect things?

[eagledorf]

Yea, sleep is powerful.　　Blm sleep and Whm holy are both very strong for crowd control.　　Monk is very very good for killing casters.　　Actually, every class is pretty strong so far that I have seen (swiftsong is pretty helpful for killing casters as well).

Sleep needs to be nerfed BLM should not be able to completely incapacitate the whole team.

No.

I knew this kind of thing would happen the moment we had PvP -___-

Warlocks had this issue in wow at the start of wow. what did blizzard due basically nerf the crap out of CC to make pvp actually viable.

I wouldnt say it's amazing, but it has it's merits.

Things that I would think need a tweak.

1. Don't match pugs vs pre-made groups
2. Cut the timer down to 1 min or 45 seconds.
3. A little more ilvl balancing. An ilvl 50 group shouldnt be matched up to an ilvl 90 group.

You know.... If you drink a poison potion they can't sleep you right?

Common FFXI Knowledge that carried to this game.

Unless they disabled pots in pvp or something.

lol so old school!!!

So the role of any healer is to be the first one to be ground into the dirt within a few GCD's.

So fun I think I'll just go suicide somewhere and stare at the dirt for a few hours.

PvP is amazing ? Have we played the same game or were you drunk ?
I played 2 times, never again.
The two times the same thing :

BLM sleeps the team for 25 SECONDS (first time i ever see this allowed in a game).
Both teams get the healers in 5 seconds
The tank chases one of the dps for 5 minutes rolling around the map like retards
At the end both tanks keep fighting themselves, and that's it

Very strategic, much skillz, wow.


The PvP will be amazing when they'll learn what PvP is truely. First off rebalance the PvE skills for PvP and make maps larger and better than some stupid plate.
