    Myself i much prefer going in as Bard because of mobility and yes we can do lots of damage. However i have died many times from summoner's, which feel rather powerful in frontlines.

    naw u died many times from smns because 1) your healer didn't heal you/didn't heal you enough or 2) you ran after the smn and didn't stick around your healer so you left it open season for him to merk u. all dps are squishy in this game. even a healer can take out a solo brd. i can't see a brd out-dpsing a smn tho simply because of the pet+rouse+Fester+Enkindle+ROFL combo. you have to remember, a smn can heal himself, you can't. so don't put yourself in a bad situation.

    Well that has been a problem going in with random people, adder just has not been organized, like all over the place and yeah more then likely it was because of a whm healing them as well perhaps.
    As far as melee trump in pvp, maybe so but all the instances i have done against monk or drg say otherwise, only time i truly do loose is if someone from their team would stun lock me. That or perhaps they did not know their class, who knows. I just go in as what i prefer for pvp and that's that. I do have blm, smn and drg i can try as well

    a smn cant heal (with his sucky physic) while you are shooting at him.. b he just makes some decent damage, if you have eaten all dots before.

    Remove full interrupts

    Why not just remove full interrupts on damage entirely?

    I just reached 50 (my first, WHM), and I am incredibly dissapointed with how PvP handles for casters. I understand we have abilities like Swiftcast, and equanimity. That is not enough though. If any single physical damage dealer decides to jump on a WHM they win. Period.

    This is the first game mechanic that I feel the Dev team went full retard on. This blows my mind, considering Yoshi. P was a big PvPer.

    Why did we not just use the usual pushback mechanic? Take damage, pushes back your cast time making the spell last longer. Can still interrupt, just have to use stuns/skills that shut someone down.

    Thoughts?
