PVP, and how Gimped MELEE is.

[OdinTheTainted]

Ok, so I understand PVP was just released, but any SANE person can see that the system is really gimped towards melee, and favors ranged players\ with sleep and swift cast, and pretty much any ability that can attack passed 7 yalms.

FIRST: The interruption to spell casters would not matter, no matter how good my timing is with shield lob a healer will ALWAYS heal or sprint then sleep. I blame this mostly on sprinting away.

SECOND: Why is sprint even aloud in PVP!!!!?? It makes melee damage\ganking near IMPOSSIBLE, because I cannot run after the target.

THIRD: Why is sleep on such a long duration, if you enable sleep please, please, make it only 15\7\4 seconds or so.

Fourth: No melee attacks connect as soon as the target attack runs away, get rid of the animations or make it so it doesn't matter.

ALSO, "Smelling salts" does not wake you up from sleep, all you claiming it does are stating false facts.

I edited the main op just a tad bit and removed any excessive rants that were kind of invalid.

Anyways, I guess having a good composition for team really helps in pvp. I found a good static and am really enjoying it now.

As a EU player, i tried playing with Monk and my attacks would be always interrupted because the damn animations are too long and while the guy sprints it just stops, you can't land a single hit it's hell on earth.

I fear this is how it will be until 2.2..I was really looking forward to pvp

Perhaps if you zoomed your camera out you would do better?

No but in all seriousness, I'm not even going to try to PvP until they balance this stuff out. 20 second sleep is ridiculous.

Longer than that sometimes sadly, one match the blackmage rotated his sleep on me, 20,15,6 or how ever it works. This is ridiculous...

Yup, no way in hell i'm touching that then. GG Square.

Yes please make sleep useless for pve cause that all that's gonna happen. Just take sleep out of pvp don't nerf it

Explain it to me please:

1. Does healing spell remove sleep effect?
2. Did you attempt to spam shield bash?
3. Did you attempt to use a damage action (ex. savage blade) when BLM is about to cast spell?
4. Did you reserve spirit within?

Thanks

I believe you can rank up and gain abilities that will counteract these abilities that are affecting you.

Bring some poison potions if they're still in this game lol. If it works like XI it'll wake you up from sleep. I doubt any of that is true for XIV though

You realise how dumb you sound right? CC is and should be coded differently when the target is a player, no CC should last more then 8 seconds when the recipient is a player.
