Gotta say, after hitting Crystal twice in CC, it's just the same mess of shit that SE clearly can't balance. Lack of DR, RNG one shots, shit netcode, abysmal class balancing, LBs being either laughably useless or broken with no rhyme or reason as to their actual cooldown/buildup time. If you don't abuse the broken shit you're just going to die over and over to people who do, and even then server ticks will sometimes just decide to fuck you over instead.
Just gotta face the fact that PvP in XIV will never be good, the foundation it's built upon is faulty, and anything they try and build on top of that will be doomed.
