6.1 PvP: Amazing!!

[Aizuh]

this is what i'm sayin lol i love gnb but they crippled it so badly in pvp, you have to make sure the enemy is in your aoe ulti in order to kill them and they can literally run away from it. and draw and junction is so rng based on the opponent you have to fight that its no match for wars heal regains or drks dmg overtime

SAM isn't just "strong". SAM is completely busted.

From what I've played against other Samurai, or with them, I don't really have this impression about the class -- what makes it completely busted in your eyes? Any time I've seen them pop off and kill everyone... everyone kinda just let it happen. There's the chance I haven't fought a good or decent one, considering in the games so far there's only 1 NIN player who stood out to me as an example, but no one's really been providing details when they make complaints about Jobs being broken/too strong aside from 1 anecdotal memory and not so much how their kit works.

No, the pvp is not great. They had a good idea, but there are some jobs that are OP AF.

[Ritsuka-55]

healers are constantly outdpsing actual dps jobs, they heal, and cc, atm all healers are broken, they do everything with little downside, not to mention summoner, that shit simply plays itself, every match basically has like 10+ of them.

so you tell me.

There are tons of balancing issues with the new PVP. Be it attacks that literally 1-shot from full health, or jobs that have a fraction of the range they used to have and can get yanked from outside their attack range

NO, PvP is not amazing, at all.
It's basically Overwatch but in FF14. And Overwatch is a dead game for a lot of reasons!
- Way, waaaay too much stuns, and the cleanse doesn't do anything, you can get stun locked to death even as a WAR, i've seen it.
- Overpowered LBs that are unreactable
- the job balance is absolutely broken, WAR WHM SAM DRG are completely overpowered while a lot of jobs are clearly underpowered/too situational.

The PvP is currently popular because it's new, it's really fast pace, and most importantly, THE GARO EVENT + Feast rewards, this is why people play it a lot, not because it's "good"
It need a MAJOR rebalancing.
How come they released it in this state frankly? they couldn't see the problem with all the stuns and overall balance?

[CodeAvellus]

Direct hit! You take 63000 damage.

I'm almost sure they have not played this pvp for more than 5 games.
Tank is basically useless compared to Melee DPS, i think the only ok tank is Warrior.

Great addition to PVP as i usually hate PVP in MMOs. But there seems to be a few things about the BLM which feels underwhelming and that is the Sleep which dont seem to CC anyone at all, nor does the 3 stacks of Freeze to snare them either. The other Jobs who has CCs you cannot break free of is insanly annoying
And the Potency of the LB seems to be lacking as well as i can nuke everything say on a SAM and they never die, then they LB and seem to 2 shot me always with 35000 hits

I hope balancing comes very soon as this cannot be allowed to be to the end of the series. That BLM has slow casts in a hectic PVP just seems to not work too well as enemies just dash in to attack me and then backflip outta reach and interupt the casts. And when I do land casts, the potency seems to be too weak

Great PVP Mode, poor balancing atm

[Barachim]

The one thing that needs to be toned down is the stun lock. The mode is fun to play. Know what's not fun? When I am actually not able to play, because I'm more busy standing around, unable to do nothing, because I only have one use of purify and my entire kit is locked.

I can’t stomach getting to rank 6 for the rewards portion of PvP. It’s really boring to for myself to grind. The new crystal match is short and not hard but it’s not for me. Wish they would include a similar reward structure to PvE.
