Uncapped AoE is ruining PvP Frontline/Rival Wings

[Nubrication]

MNK - Nice stuns/knockbacks...

My question is: why would you jump into their group, when you know the DRK is eventually going to jump into yours? Solution: Wait for DRK to jump (don't get succed in or binded) give it a few milliseconds and he'll probably pop Eventide. You have to predict when he's going to use it, so use your best judgement. So after he jumps in, you dash in as a MNK, stun and knock him back out of the arena. Eventide brings him to 1HP, if you time your knockback properly, you can still kill him with fall damage. Fall damage ignores Eventide's immunity to death. This requires situational awareness.

RPR / DNC LBs - RPR is quite a fast CD and less cast-time warning...

These are the two that're hardest to escape from when in combination with a DRK. Your best option in this instance is to have the RPR or DNC marked so you know where they are and sprint away as soon as you see them coming towards you. After they pop their LBs, hopefully your team has enough people left to mount a counter attack. THE BEST TIME FOR A COUNTER ATTACK is right after the enemy premade does their burst, they'll have almost nothing left. That's assuming you survive the initial attack. Also, ranged players can cc the RPR and DNC before they get close (you'll probably have to be in melee range and risk dying BUT it will mess up their timing with the DRK). If the wombo combos are out of sync, more people will generally survive.

WAR - Group stun to delay the approaching alliance or DRK, whichever your target...

This one is easy. Be situationally aware and don't clump up to begin with.

SGE - LB is nice to cancel damage from premade DRGs and any ranged. But a very long CD...

SGE is fun if played properly and most people don't know how. There's no point using SGE LB defensively unless you have godlike reaction speed. Because you don't want to use it simply because a DRK jumps in, what if he was just baiting your CDs? The best use of SGE LB I think, is offensively. In conjunction with your own DRK (hopefully you have a good one on your team).


Of course everything I mentioned has nuances and different situations will require different responses. But if you're prepared and you know what to expect from the enemy, then you'll be better prepared to react better and properly. I play every class in PvP but MNK is one of my favorites, and I can do 10+kills with 0 deaths consistently in FL. I've also played the Feast, the Fold, CC, and have been playing FL since it's inception with Secure waaay back in the day. Take what you will from my post, or completely ignore it. Cheers.

P.S. just to clarify: this is all only in regards to FL.
