Repose?

[Leigaon]

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.

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

Your first problem is that you bought a SE MMO expecting great PvP...SE is not the PvP king, they are the PvE king. There is no story, no plot, nothing to tie to a bunch of players running into an arena and killing each other. Therefore they don't really care. I would suggest you look at why you bought FFXIV because I doubt it was for the stellar PvP content that didn't even exist until this week.

Your first problem is that you ASSUMED I expected PERFECT PVP right off. No, I didn't. I did, however, expect the balancing system to be a bit better than what it is. PvP does have a bit of story if you even bothered to read the quest dialog as you unlocked it.. Oh.. wait.. Most people are to stupid to read quest dialog. My mistake.

You want to flame me? Go right ahead Mr. White Mage. You're only flaming at me because I'm calling your class out for being overpowered in something. Grow up and get over it.

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.

Not an issue.

pve king? not even close plenty of other mmos beat the shit out of FFXIV pve... WOW for starters... and even id say rift, probably even aion got better pve and boss fights, and these are just some examples i got straight out of my head under 10 seconds... Final fantasy is an average mmo with average quality pve content ... its nowhere near being the king of pve. developers in this game are so lazy they cant even make new gear designs for 2.1, just look at the pvp sets, old models being recycled again ilvl 70 pvp gear = lvl 70 crafted gear ... ilvl90 pvp gear = darklight recolored...

but then again yoshi-p should be thanked the first version of Final fantasy XIV was terrible, a broken and bad game it deserved a 2 out of 10 score it was a mediocre mmo, and he actually turned it into something decent, not great or awesome but a decent mmo... i give FFXIV:ARR v2.1 a 6 out of 10 score, with lots of potential to become a lot better.

Sleep is fine and will only get worse as people gear up.

If your constantly getting slept over and over, its probably your fault.

I played 20+ matches yesterday and I dont think I was slept once.

No sleep is not fine! and how is you getting sleep YOUR fault the only defense for sleep is purify after that your screwed, unless your team keeps the blm or whm tied down they will simply sleep you over and over easily done by a decent blm!
