PvP insanely imbalanced (Dragoon Perspective)

[Kaisersoke]

There seems to be a massive imbalance in the release state of PvP (as we all could have guessed)

Firstly, out of the last 25 battles I've played I've gotten 18 bards, 4 dragoons, and 3 black mages as the other DPS, this wouldn't be a problem in PvE but, the synch between bards and dragoons in PvP is absolutely terrible. I'm not sure how many more people are experiencing this issue, but its awful.

Secondly, the abuse of sleep and sprint. I'm aware that the severity of these will decrease as my rank increases, but right now I'm at a really bad crossroad of 'take purify so you only have to sit in 30 seconds of sleep total instead of a minute' or 'take weapon throw so they can sprint spam again in 20 seconds' And even worse, My slow seems to have no real effect in any situation, it is still only barely powerful enough for me to keep up with a target, and not even if they're sprinting.

Battle rezzing every minute or so with swiftcast when you spent 2 minutes chasing down those people already. Absurd. White Mages seem to especially be abusing this with their Benediction/Swiftcast Rez its near impossible to kill one before they completely turn the match.

Also, more than Half of my stuns simply get straight resisted, when they only last seconds, and have a 20s cooldown whereas Repose and Sleepbombs are recastable endlessly with fairly weak DR's. (atleast until max DR)

These aren't even all the points I've noticed, just the most severe problems I've encountered. Are there any other issues anyone else is having? So far PvP has been pretty anti-fun for me because I can't seem to get into a match without a bard and they seem to be extremely weak, combining with seemingly effortless kiting of melee classes, its just not a very powerful combo.

I dont get what your saying.....Are you saying Bards are weak or overpowered in pvp?

From this thread i get that your just really bad at pvp. I have had quite a few dragoons that no matter what i did i could not get them off of me. Learn your class and fully ulitze your skills at right time you won't be having so many issues. Also your issue with battle rez bene is not that bad. First there's like a 5 second time where they can't cast anything on the rezz'ed player so take that time to blow up the healer or someone learn to apply pressure

Only tips I can give you is PVP gear is very useful. Keep your relic weapon and get the crafted set, start swapping for I70 pvp gear when you get the chance and find a group of three friends you can pvp with and get better together Healers should keep their pve gear till they can afford i70 and then start swapping

I could not find the edit option on my phone or whatever xD this is park of my other post
The communication is really important xD Me and my BLM friend have almost 200 matches under our belts Fighting just about ever kind of "OP" make up people have talked about. Double SMN double w/e etc
We had a 51 winstreak yesterday but then we got into a match with a DRG and MNK, mother of god. Almost a 15min long pvp match it was bloody epic, ended up losing to limit break (first one on blm) second one on our healer and it was GG. If we were facerolling everyone then all of a sudden lose to a team who knew EXACTLY what they needed to do then theirs more player skill and communication involved then most people think, don't get me wrong somethings could be tweaked but nothing is broken if you know what to do, you can win.

(And I'm still going to get attacked -___- be nice when replying folks </3)

*being a jerk*

I can stay on them for only so long before I'm out of cooldowns and they're still running around spamming sprint, way to be a jerk and jump to conclusions.

theres nothing broken about getting paired with a Bard over 75% of the time? I'm not complaining about getting paired with one but I've yet to even be put into a game where the other DD was a summoner. its really agitating to see the same weak combination game after game

Dragoons are strong in PvP

There's nothing broken, because as a bard I don't get paired with a dragoon 75% of the time. RNG is random and all that.
