Seperate skills for pvp

[Laifon]

Don't know if anyone actually paid attention to this SS, but there are a lot more skills for pvp than I expected..

And different for each company, interesting.

I figured the PvP actions would be mainly supplemental skills created for balance, but it seems like many are pretty standard combat abilities. (Hey look, farshot is back)

It's going to be hard to pick 10 from what seems like such a large selection (though, you do have to unlock them through play)

FFXIV: A Realm Smogonized.

That'll be interesting.

Exciting stuff. I can't wait to see more information on this.

I'm not actually sure I like the idea of GC-specific abilities. I really don't wanna be required to rank up in all three Grand Companies just to have access to needed PvP abilities. We really shouldn't have to PvE to access PvP-specific stuff.

Going to go ahead and guess you can only use the abilities of your current GC, probably won't be at a disadvantage if you only have one levelled up.

It will be a disadvantage if the abilities are notably different for each GC. If so, I can almost guarantee you there will be a "required" best GC for one to have if they are a WHM, or a PLD, or a DRG, or whatever else. I hope that's not the case, because I really don't want to be forced into a particular GC just to PvP either.

Hm interesting, Wonder if we'll get different animation for those in PVP or what, considering two time trailer we see of Wolves Den, we see PVE animation one. Let's hope Dec 14th they'll show some pvp action =x

Thanks for screenshot!

He got a point. Considering the armor you buy for GC already is better for some certain class.. But let's hope theyre not doing that with PVP.

This. If I am unable to maximize my abilities just because I didn't choose the cookie-cutter GC, I'm not going to be particularly happy.

As long as it's not Dark Souls level of BS it'll be fine.
Besides the latency is the bigger issue than this. If there's any 'standardized' PvP event, they'll probably consider whatever 'god-tier' skill will be dissallowed (assuming we ever have such an event).

You know that you can change your GC, right?
