No one here played PVP in beta? PLD really ran through people in pvp....

[PArcher]

I went over the roles of jobs in PvP today...I don't want to let out some strategy (hey, if I happen to face someone reading this I don't want them to know what I'm doing), but its going to be very interesting.

PLD and WAR are going to be very useful in PvP as far as I can see...all the classes will have uses, but finding a good sync and building a strategy will be key.

Look at the PvP skills again; some classes are being made to counter certain others. And some class's "normal" skills are going to be pretty key to winning

I'm going to protect the bards, mages, go for opposite team's casters and interrupt them. Going to Captain America lob them.

We'll, judging from the 2.1 patch notes from the lodestone front page, tanks will serve as hp/def boosting fighters with some classic stun utility.
I for one can't wait to sink my axe into a paladin..... Heh.... Sounds like fun to me.

A PLD on pvp group is not a greater dps, btw if you join with one, he could use "cover" over enemy focus if the pld is near 10 yalms and duration 12 secs.

Testudo = 50% reduction and 16 secs (unkonw recast time).

Atm i don't know if the stun will be nerfed or have the same effect but, 6, 4, 1 secs on pvp match will be your death.

Each 30 secs you have a silence

Flash blind enemy, so can drop accuracy and enemy attack fail.

Full swing: Increases target's damage taken by 10%

Vs melee: halone reduce strength 10%

Obviously, pld is not a dps and his damage is a crap but can help on different situations.

[Cynric]

lets not forget pacification prevents weapon skill use.

[MariyaShidou]

if so then you wouldnt be saying all that bs about tanks not being viable in pvp.

He must have not played World of Tanks.

Tanks, tanks everywhere.
