PvP: Sleep and win!

Actually, it's a pretty terrible comp. Summoner is the squishiest class in the game, and whenever I get another summoner in my party, we usually lose. So please, stop stacking the "nerf smn" deck.

Maybe you just haven't seen good ones. If 2 good SMNs decide to focus dps you, you will be dead before you even know what the hell happened.

the only thing i see here, is that arenas are exclusive to ranged classes, and from what i see when i play, melee is an handicap for your team, i rather have bard/blm/smn than any dragoon or monk on my team... the CC available to ranged classes completly locks down melee, purify isnt really a solution or slotting resist materias, game needs more counters, melee need to be look at and balanced so they can be has good has all the premades currently running in the pvp arena.. all you see atm is smn/blm premades with one healer and a tank....

if there are any kind of stats, yoshi will know blm's and smns are the top choices atm to go in the arenas.... and melee are getting the short end of the stick and they cant do anything about it.

the game doesnt need more counters. it seriously needs less cc's. if u can cc every 30 seconds that lasts more than 5 seconds its already ridiculous. as it is now, only certain compositions will give u a high percentage of winning, where everything else just falls short. balanced this is not. lol

If you're losing in a double SMN group, I'm sorry, but you're terrible at PvP lol.

miasma (-50% heals + heavy) + dots + sprinting. u cereal?

Yes I am super cereal, that's why I said "in a double SMN group" and not "against a double SMN group". :P

Taking advantage of this before it's nerfed.

This is exactly the attitude I have toward pvp at the moment.

Sleep would be fine if a BLM + SMN couldn't burst someone 100% to 0% in 2.5s.

Drink a poison pot, you wake up on 1 tic of the poison, anyone tried this?

This is the nature of PvP in even PvP-only videogames.

It's only really an issue though when everybody refuses to learn counterplay because of popular opinions.

Haven't had the chance, but with how many people are complaining I just assume this doesnt work. But since the day of I've been curious as to if it does. (I'm assuming it doesn't. Pre-existing dots don't wake mobs either)

IIRC, Poisoning Potions can't be used on friendly targets, not even on your own character. I know it works (or it used to work...) on FFXI, but it's not the case on FFXIV: ARR.
