3.2 PvP: Feast Game Mode Discussion Thread.

I'm looking forward to it.
Wonder if I will continue being a healer (I main healer pvp, tank in pve) or switch back to tanking for pvp.
The vit = damage has me worried about how unstoppable tanks will be in pvp. We'll have to see.

This is an interesting consideration. I too, am a little weary of how this will work out, but I'm concerned because I main Tank in PvP lol. Something tells me that it won't make a huge difference though. SE's decision to modify the dmg formula for Tanks was to balance the utility of melded sets with dropped Fending sets from Savage level content. So, I have a feeling that the actual stat changes seen by Tanks in Vit vs Str sets won't be too noticeable. It's hard to say until we know exactly how the stats will scale...

This does bring up another thought for me though. Word on the street is that Pld's will be getting some "large adjustments" to their kit. No one really knows what this means yet, but Pld's were a force to be reckoned with in WD (stun locking, cover, etc.). FEAST will be level 60, so that also opens up Clemency and Divine Veil. I'm curious how these new "adjustments" will make Pld play in the new content.

So... Your tanking in both PvP and PvE then xD?

My prediction: War will still continue being OP while summoners will get less popular due to smaller teams (less noob killing).

WAR,AST,DRG and MCH/SMN will be mostlikely got-to setup atleast in beginning, PLD and MNK/NIN could also have place in there when majority learns how to counter that burst comp. Also did they mention anything about arena layout? does Feast use same map as WD uses? because this also affects roster building(terrain advantage/disadvantage for certain jobs).

They didn't, but the screenshots I saw made it look different to the original Wolves' Den, that was a closed arena IIRC, where as you could see the sea in the screenshots. Perhaps even looked like there were several platforms.

Looking at it, we've got a platform with a blue floor, and one with a red, then one with no colour, so I'd imagine we've either got something akin to your Serpent/Flames/Maelstrom Outposts in Frontlines, or those are where we spawn. Seem a bit big for spawn areas though.

Looking at it, it all seems quite open, not seeing many walls to break LoS with...

Yeah this is the reason why i asked about this, original was fine as it had pillars and walls for LoS but this seems way too open. MCH and other ranged classes will love this tho...
