Thoughts from a PvP game Veteran.

[Rubicant]

All of your complaints seem to be from the particular problems one class may have, or maybe just you may have.
They can't balance pvp from a view off "Rubicant's need to win"

understand what your class is good at in pvp and do that.

*smacks forehead* you are 100% right! I can't wint all the time... wait ... I learned that a long time ago from Warhammer when Order dominated the server for over 2 years and all we Destro had were small groups to play gorilla warfare tactics to try and get any sort of pvp action that wasnt being steam rolled by 2 alliances (48 vs 6 not fun) but that was a open RvR game not this. Though Honestly you are right that my point of view is skewed from a BLM/SMN perspective, as those are the jobs I play most. However watching the different parties and classes from my point of view it still seems that caster DPS are very under whelming.
