Hey everyone, as the title suggests, I'm thinking about going into PvP. I've been really discouraged to do so thus far, but I think it could be a nice change of pace considering the past couple months has been the same 'ol stuff.

I've done some talking with friends and researching on classes with pvp, and at this point, I'm most inclined to pvp on Archer, Marauder, Thaumaturge, White Mage, or Scholar; I want to focus on a single one for right now. I'd love to hear some ups and downs from people who pvp as these classes!

And now for the gear. When I start, I understand I'm going to be at a SEVERE disadvantage and will most likely lose every 19/20 matches I play, but... What I really want to know is, starting off fresh, do I want to go in with my pve gear and i90 weapon? Or should I be instead crafting wolf gear and affixing them with materia?

Aside from all that, I'd love to hear any general advice regarding pvp. Any big what-to-do's and what-not-to-do's, tactics that come in handy, etc.
