PVP, and how Gimped MELEE is.

[PhageLock]

I played quite a few matches equally blm/drg maybe more than other but rank 5 now. CC appears to be problematic for melee at first but seeing all the resistance capabilities we'll have through gear/abilities I fear casters might be the underdog especially BLM, there's varies strategies to halt cc one of them was smn sends pet on blm or healer

smn > all casters at this time.

But there was times I was rolling with another drg and we raped 3 matches in a row.

You win some and loose some. But to be honest it's waaay to early to tell. Wait till people start ranking up and then we'll know for sure.

I agree, paladin is a waste of party space. 3v4 anyone?

I told people this game was going to be an awful, cancerous pile of garbage in PvP.

And oh look, mages are still crying that they should be on top, like in every MMO ever made.

Sorry friend. Like always, melee can GTFO, looks like xMP is here to stay.

People couldn't master all the strategies and variables in pvp within the first day, lost a match and are complaining about it? Mind = blown.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried the PVP and have no desire to. Haven't seen an mmo yet whose pvp wasn't filled with whiners and griefers.

There's not much strategy to formulate as melee when your options are "get a pocket cleanser or die."

Also "Fetter Wand" doesn't work. Do not take it at all.

No one honestly saw this problem before it was even implemented?

I did, and that's why I had low expectations, which quite frankly have been met.

Monk animations take way too long when chacing a player.
Also it seems that when players use 'Sprint' they sometimes warp.
Also 30+ should get exp by doing pvp.

As a long time FFXI player, if there was one thing that I thought SE would get right it would be the PVP lol. :-P

Well as Yoshi yoshi said that they have little pvp capable devs on the team and sadly it shows - a lot. It makes me wonder if this was actually tested properly at all.

As a monk who has done 45 matches today. L2p. Fist of Wind = you're in range all the time to hit your target.
I have not much of an issue staying on target unless I'm CC'd, even then the healer can cleanse it.
Also Smelling Salts does not work in PVP, stop spreading that around.
Further more, Fetter Ward works. You have to use it BEFORE you get CC'd, literally like 1 or 2 seconds prior.
If you see a WHM/BLM looking at you after they've Swiftcasted, expect Sleep to come. Blow Fetter Ward, gg they wasted Swiftcast. Paladin chasing you? Expect stuns out the ass. It's not hard, just pay attention.
