DRK - AST/AST/AST - The frontline meta

[AnnRam]

AST aren't even an issue, the problem as usual is DRK and his braindead Limit break, being able to stay alive for straight 10 seconds and keep attacking/using skills is a broken concept in any PVP game.
If you actually rework DRK Limit break they will stop diving 1vs50, in fact if they keep playing like that they will be useless as a SAM trying to perform a raid wipe with chiten.


There are 3 major issues in FL right now :

-DRK Limit break (c'mon, 0 realistic counter play, and with proper buffs they can strike for 30k AOE eventide)
-Biolysis ( 7k per second at max bh, feels so good to get melted by someone who is not even present or near you)
-Miracle of Nature (basically a "someone will die 100% " every 20 seconds)

I swear to god guys... it seems to be back to the PLD cheese... i keep killing asts and drks, but it does not matter, they will soon be back and erase my all party of idiots.

If they're truly "idiots" then it wouldn't matter what job the other teams were on, they'd die anyways.

Miracle of Nature / excessive CC is your solution to DRK Limit break except you don't press it before he uses it - you use it as his Living Dead status is nearing the end and make him unable to recover. That said, Miracle of Nature has a 30s cooldown and a 10y range so it is not all-powerful like it used to be when released.

Reworking Eventide for what? Why should a skill fundamentally be reworked because Frontline players can't handle having to contend with someone having a 1HP-type invuln?

You want to know what the issue with all the LB spam is in Frontline? It's how Limit Break charges. Being able to just sit on the sidelines waiting for that yellow bar to fill up so you practically have it every (other) engagement without having to work for your Limit Break like in every other game ever is the actual issue to all the nuke-squad LBs out there - DRG, WHM, SMN, MCH (single target), all of those wouldn't be so obnoxious if it didn't charge exclusively on time passing.

I agree to this list but I'd add SAM LB to the list and Ninja as a whole. LB + toolkit. Really difficult to kill a battle fever Ninja without massive focus targets and dunking you entire tool kit as a team to kill them.

I think my biggest issue with Frontlines is that it's time for Battle High to go. I get it's a fun mechanic, but I just can't help but feel it's a root core factor in all of this.
