    PLD from unrank to crystal is do-able but its immense suffering, if youre gonna try it then you'll need try different playstyles to compensate with team skill or lack thereof

    PLD is one of the strongest jobs in the game right now. Do you want tips? I've seen you around and it's pretty clear that your play pattern/mindset is still stuck in high plat/low diamond

    BLM is also one of the hardest carry jobs in the game rn. You saying this tells me that you have next to no job knowledge, so I'm gonna give you some advice. If you want to climb, first understand the rules of the game, especially the overtime rules. You don't have to throw your body onto the crystal in 50/50 overtimes, for example--that's something that I still see getting messed up in diamond and crystal.

    Next, it doesn't really matter what job you pick, especially at low ranks. Read all of your tooltips, and become mechanically proficient and consistent with one or two jobs. Try to hop on the official pvp job guide and read the tooltips for all the other jobs too, so you at least roughly understand what your matchups are and what is available to other players.

    And honestly that's it. I don't know what your goals are, but if you do nothing but become mechanically stable on one job, you can easily make it to plat.

    Edit: hopped on an alt, brand new to pvp (actually had to go unlock it), booted up PLD. I'm telling you, just practice your rotation/combos, set up your hotbars to be comfortable for you, and you should easily be able to dominate lower ranks.

    I wouldnt say its the strongest but thats a matter of opinion also while i appreciate your offer itd be more convincing were i to face you as an opposing PLD which i have yet see from the one or two matches ive seen you from unless my memory escapes me, as for your comment on my skill/pattern/mindset well some days are better than most and i imagine if it were the case then i wouldnt have been(1st attempt from unranked) as well as remaining in T100 (currently)

    Secondly regarding this might want to wait till you get to plat/diamond as it would lend more credibility, considering this (while impressive) has some flaws or factors you're discounting
