I've been getting 7~10min, we a couple hours ago though. 600 marks in 6 games pretty ridic lol

I'm already beginning my exodus towards Monk. Seriously, you'd expect a BLM to even have cast time when you are paired with a shitty melee DPS? Most of my game wins now is because I equanimity and totally blow up the opponent healer Rank 30 or not. It's a never ending game of Bliz 1 > Run > Bliz 1 > Run > Bliz 1 > Juggle Fire 3 and Bliz 3 > Then Fire 1 until I get my Firestarter then Fire 1 > Firestarter > Quickcast Flare.

IT freaking hectic trying to keep my Umbral Ice 3 with people pounding me and no peels so I can just Fire 3 and start up my burst chain quick.

I would love if the rank 30s and really anyone at all would stop 3 man queuing in light of this patch. In a sample size of 100 matches, if you win 100% of them in 3 man, you gain about 3,000 or 5,000 marks. If you solo queue and win a measly 25% of your matches in solo queue, you gain about the same amount. If you're actually good and can carry your team 60-70% of the time, you gain a tremendous amount more.

By not 3 manning, you also free up the solo queue waits which have gotten less severe with me as the day has progressed.

Oooo I was JUST about to say something like this. You should make a thread announcing it so everyone can see it!

I agree but most of rank 30 were pretty low before this grind, I could understand that be nice to up their victory percent with easy win gear & premade.

What's the rank levelcap ? I guess, we can exp more than 30s

Nope cap is 46810 xp and u can not get anymore. Maybe in future. If u want more content u can change grand company and farm all 3 gc rank 30 not sure but I think there is 30 day cooldown how often u can change that grand company.

On Aether solo queues have been practically instant o_o

That's sound bad GC, I hope that's will be the main standard to determine your side from "Linefront pvp",
