Hey there, I have been trying to get into PVP and would like to share my thoughts and experience, not to gripe or whine but to see if any responses can give me direction on how to improve or how to counter.

1) 4-Man fully geared lv 50 premade queuing 30's and 40's. Sufficed to say they win 100% of the time. What are your thoughts on this? Even with scaling and fewer skills fully geared lv 50's syncing down make people like me actually in that bracket not wanna queue. I made my own party and went on TS, but we were simply outgeared. Whatever system syncs them down doesn't really affect their stats and dmg/healing. They are a wrecking ball.

2) Catch the Pigeon -- aka healer. How do you deal when a healer bolts? I sprint after them (+invigorate) and pray to get a stun or something off to slow them down -- but if invigorate is not ready then the healer sprints away without losing anything other than LoS with his team mates and heals full. When a healer bolts I have tried quickly turning to another dps in the hopes of burning them before the healer comes back -- but heals are STRONG (in my bracket) and the healer can usually just do 1 cast on himself, then one on my new target, and even when at 50% health they are back on full.

a) I would suggest a small debuff "exhausted" or something, that if sprint is up they receive some sort of penalty -- or have sprint on a long CD so they use it as a LAST RESORT not every time it is off CD.

3) Sleep -- this lasts for far too long. I use HQ sleep resist food since I have all 50 crafts, but it has no real impact. I have the CC break skill, but then I just get slept again -- systematically alongside my team. Maybe in 50's the materia will help, but it doesn't help in my 40's bracket.

I would simply suggest more impact of food pre 50 as materia isn't a viable option.

Do I just wait the sleep(s) out?
