Repose?

[Yunnie]

I love how dynamic pvp is, but I agree sleep duration is a currently too long of an effect. If the first one is 45 seconds, the diminishing returns should be much more stricter, and multiple sleeps shouldn't be chainable.

Basically if someone awakens from sleep and is immediately put to sleep, once they awake, they should be immune to sleep for a long period of time.

Also if your put to sleep for longer then 30 seconds from a single spell, the next duration should be no more then 15...

@Fumamyena i guess everybody can give his respone, cuz square enix say that they will have response and look how pvp works and than make balacing chances.

and if they imply pvp the hole player will have a nice balance pvp. if u dont care on pvp dont imply it

You can work around sleep, though having more of it in your party does boost things a bit. I think as you get up, buy materia for resists it should get better. I go in as SMN but very tempting to start it as a warrior. Plus it just came out so..I'm sure there will be adjustments down the road. Win or Loose..I'm having a blast

Dont all stand on top of each other. Dont stand on top of your healer. Dont have your healer be retarded and run into the enemy team. Make them waste their swiftcasts then esuna/purify out of the sleep then use then abuse the fact that most blms are fairly meh and think their class is just sleep and save a stun for when they use surecast. Actually use your gap closers correctly instead of initiating with them. Then its just understanding who needs to deal with who.

WHM BLM BLM is not that hard to deal with. At lower PvP levels they're going to do 1 thing because most BLMs are bad. At higher PvP levels you'll have access to certain PvP skills that make sleep even less of an issue.

Also Black Drops.

The great thing about sleep is that the moment you're slept and purify to wake up, you get hit with a reasonable timer of 15 secs which you should really see as 13 secs.
I think if anything should be fixed it should be sleep resist timer and the resist build up should be reset far later than it is at the moment but imho the materia slot use/lack of resist atm warrants the current sleep time. We don't know if we'll have a 50% resistance or 50% effect time.

Bitch about powers for PvP and they get nerfed across the board so just deal

[Piddles]

Are there potions you can bring in to heal yourself from Sleep status???(Yay alchemists) I think Sleep is fine. I've only tried the earlier pvp matches though ;( so idk how it is in 40 and 50.

See a lot of confusion about diminishing returns on sleep.

30 seconds the first time then reduced 50% each time after.

Purify is a given, so if you get slept and it is cured or you use a CD or get hit the next is half the previous.

So many here say 10 sec base - any resistances = ?

Then purify or cure 3 sec sleep then 1.5.......

There is no point instant stunn is better at this point over a 2 second cast ability that can be instant every 1 minuite with swiftcast.

Should wait and see how gear reduces the duration. Each cast will be for less duration as well as getting cut in half each additional cast

If you are getting Reposed means you are doing something wrong. If you get cleave sleep you are doing something wrong. BTW current meta of double SMN SCH WAR can blow up most people even in full morale within 5 seconds. Double Bane 3xLife Siphon 3xRuin 2 3xLifeSiphon + Tank Lock Scholar in Cleric Stance.
