pvp 1 on 1

[ulti_19]

I love to pvp and would love the option to one on one people from all the different classes. I think this would add a very awesome experience for players who like to test their skills in an uninterupted match without having to worry about team members.

Yeah, matches like BRD vs Caster/PLD or Caster vs Tank/Meele will be really fun, XD

As much as I understand your wish for 1vs1 pvp I don't really want to see it because the can of worms this would open.... oh boy. "Nerf X because of Y" cries all over the place.

maybe make it only same class battles.

maybe make it only same class battles.

did you really just suggest that?

In a Game like FFXIV , where PvE is prioritized, there is not going to be perfect class balance. Class specialization is actually prized in these scenarios. I think 1v1 would be a lot of fun. Especially if you could join up with the person you wanted to fight against. As a tank, I know I don't do a lot of damage, but I would love to see if I could chip away at someone else enough to kill them before they can get through my defenses. If I lose, so what. I am still valuable for the rest of PvE, and even team PvP. I do not think 1v1 battles would give justifiable evidence for any player or SE developer to nerf or buff a player in a PvE oriented game.

I'd imagine that it would just boil down to a big match of rock, paper, or scissors, only the hand is revealed before it starts....

While i'm not sure why people would want that myself, supposedly they've planned for dueling to be possible in the housing areas in the future.

Yes, I would love to watch a whm vs whm battle. >___>

No thx.

Could possibly work, but they'd really have to work on balancing specifically for 1 on 1. Melee and bards don't have many options for self heals, so yeah. Melee also has to be very close to do anything, whereas bard and casters can attack from a distance no problem. Melee can also get easily slept by a BLM so the BLM can heal themselves to full. Tank heals are mediocre at best, and healers have big cures and good damage mitigation on their side (with WHM having strong offense as well with cleric stance up). Would take a lot of balancing to do 1 on 1 the way classes/jobs are set up.
