LB vs attunement.

I laugh .

Then you must fake cast the lb and wait the healer use attunement and you healer survive the enemy LB.

cause of lag , u cant realy use attunement in reaction.

When i see people casting lb , its too late for me to do any action to counter it ( europeen player )

Only solution is to try to trap people to lb in attunement

I'd like to let the gentlemen that fought us in ghost costumes know that they made my night.

Me and 3 of my coil static buddies started PvPing just recently and are really enjoying the change of pace. Sure it might be a bit linear (kill healer first and you basically win, unless there is a SMN in the party) but it's one of the only things we have that isn't scripted and adds a bit of challenge and strategy.

So yesterday we basically PvPed all evening. Queues were slow at first but picked up in prime time. We got into a match with a 4man that must have joined the wrong win-trade group :\ They were all naked and we slaughtered them in 15 seconds for an easy 100 marks lol.

The highlight of the night was we found a 4man group in Balmung that we ended up playing about 15 times in a row. The first fight we won. Mind you, we were ALL in i55 PvP gear and there were all in mostly i100 PvE. We out-skilled them basically. Then we insta-popped the light party queue and got the same group. They basically owned us 4 times in a row after that. This is when we realized that their i100 PvE was better than our i55 PvP gear. We re-geared into our PvE sets (all of us are around i96-i99) and didn't lose a single match after that. We beat them about 10 times in a row (for quick/easy marks!!!) and we finally ran them out of the queue.

So yeah, basically we dominated Balmung server last night

I'm claiming Moss Green as Goblin's official color! It's so awful, and it's so Goblin.

I don't know about that ugly green color, but my group has been rocking the Royal Blue. But since last night and doing some research, I won't be gearing into PvP gear until I have enough for i90 at least and the rank high enough to wear it.

I find it easier to survive when using ilvl 70 gear insted of my main pve gear (ilvl96) Even though I lose about 1k hp. As a healer.

You gotta bait the melee, let the tank cc you and wait for the sound of casting an LB. ( purify after )
3/4 of the time melees in solo q will be like go go go go go.
So as long as u pop attunement within the cast time and you see the icon buff pop up ur safe.

Great day today! 10 wins out of 14.
did they change anything about the matchmaking btw? I had a rank 35-40 bard in my team and I also had someone who had never played pvp before

[KingAhmoseTheFirst]

Just go melee and you'll see....

the matchmaking is pretty nonsensical. But from what I've seen it *tries* to average out the ranks, so it's not uncommon to see a team of i70 pvp gear vs some rank 30+ and a newbie.

Of course I've seen matches with all 34 vs one 30+ and a bunch of fresh 50s or first timers that ended in under 15 seconds. Going in with a group tends to screw the matchmaking up and put you up against much higher ranks.

The baffling thing is why they even bother keeping it in, since it doesn't work half the time and all it does is ruin queues (which in turn lowers interest in pvp).

Just a speculation but I think the winrate is also being considered. Every Tuesday, most of the time, I'm being teamed up with a decent team. But when weekend comes, when I had gathered enough wins, they start sending me to newbies, while I'm up against high rank players. I know I'm up against high rank players when they start using a lot of abilities on me.
