Nevertheless, I can feel the intense hatred from 24+ people just for being a pallie no matter the map, but particularly Onsal.

    Opponents are so focused on trying to stop me, because of the possibility that I might or can do the cheese strat, that they don't realize this has unintentionally turned into me distracting everyone while my teammate, without cover, snatches the flag. Of course, this doesn't necessarily translate to a win (some of my teams are too slow, too scattered, too timid), but the effects of letting this exist for so long extend past flags that are captured with cheese.
    This Is because it Is a loss/loss situation:
    -if you ignore PLDs they could cheese
    -if you focus PLDs (and to kill One It could take a lot of resource, cause they can invuln, they can guard, they can heal and purify and they have High durability) you burn a lot of time and precious skills that you then cant use to contest a node

    Completely agree. On one hand, the "bait" as a strategy can be fun, and I've done that on DRG before. But knowing it's because I can easily cap a node at any moment (from their perspective, anyways) on top of the massive damage reduction doesn't leave a great feeling.

    Your own perhaps lol
    My blood seeps between the gaps in my armor and stains it blackish-red like they abyss. A dark knight is born!

    Haha. More seriously, I was surprised how well I ended up liking pallie in PVP. My plan was just to play a few games to get some virtu gear so I wouldn't look like a dork sprout, and I wasn't looking forward to it. But the job really clicked with me. (Though I noticed that I'm more aggressive than other tanks in general.)

    The next person who bears steel at my PVP team, I'm not only going to kill them, but I'm going to kill their spouse, their friends, and burn their godsdamned house down!

    Was doing an Onsal Hakair this afternoon before the reset.

    And we can add a catch phrase to that now : "Another Onsal, Another Abuse".

    Though they didn't win (Karma strike again !), One of the team in front of us got like 5-6 Paladin. Really a bad strategy, considering that Paladin don't pack a punch like other classes which mean they can't really "Break" our party, and they just got steamrolled each time we've seen them, even before they can even approach a node.

    Still, this need to stop. This is again an unfair advantage to take point over other classes. Literraly no one except paladin can do this.
