PVP General Discussion

[Jim_Berry]

I haven't done much PvP (14 matches, 6 wins). Pn the Primal data center, I get crushed. I went as WHM all the time.

I planned on trying PvP more tonight after T6 since I bought PvP gear off the Marketboard teo days ago for BRD.

Don't buy the PVP gear at Marketboard. I'm pretty sure those gear are ilvl55, which is not good if you're going against ilvl70 (on lvl50 PVP). And also lvl30/40 PVP has no morale so PVP gear is useless.
Since you're just starting out, I suggest that you stick to lvl30 until you get enough abilities. A lot of newbies are also playing at lvl30.

As a Whm you should avoid level 30, go for 40! You will have access to stoneskin and regen and surecast (if you have leveled black mage) and divine breath. Without them you're kinda just running around til you die

I disagree with this. WHM has Cure2, Esuna, Repose, Medica, and protect don't take a spot on additional abilities which can be used for Blizzard2. WHM basically has more skills than SCH.

Scholars on the other hand don't even have succor and leech. So, basically the only useful spell is Adloq, Summon, and Aetherflow.

I really have problem as a whm in level 30 vs a scholar. I try to sleep the Eos but I don't want to waste quickcast on repose in level 30 cause without quickcast I can't use one single spell in the entire fight. Unless ofc if I use pvp spells but the other scholar can do the same. So say I don't manage to sleep eos and we both pop our noninterrupt spell and that veil that makes us take 40% less damage. When their gone the scholar still have the eos healing everyone and I have quick cast for one single heal and then I'll have to try and stay alive the rest of the fight without healing myself or anyone. Unless I run past a corner and use presence of mind.
Without regen it's really hard

Keep in mind that using PvE gear will be far superior than using ilvl55 PvP gear. As long as you have ilvl90+ PvE gear you're better off to save your gil to use it for Materia when you get the i70,i90,and i100 PvP Gear.

Do you guys think there'll ever be a frontlines game?
I'm rank 17 and my wait time is 30min+ per game as a healer. And that's 8 players. Frontline is 24 if I got my information right. Maybe the first week of the patch there'll be lots of games and after that it's gonna die and I'll never get to play it agian.

What do you guys think?

Play anything that is new in pvp till your eyes bleed as whenever there is something new that is not coil/ endgame, it'll be spammed till death till ppl get sick of it or have gotten evrything they wanted or need.
Once that initial rush is gone, so will the majority of the participants. Only the hardcore and determined will stay. Thus y SE has to add/ " improve " it to " bring back" more players as it will seem less daunting and more worth it.

WHM is gimped in 30's, no doubt about it. Yeah, you have esuna and they have no leech. But they have fairy heals and Adloquium... that barrier allows scholar to get off multiple casts, ontop of their cooldowns. WHM? you pretty much have to blow your swiftcast/surecast on self heals because of no regen. Once equanmity is gone and swift/surecast is over, you're pretty much done. But scholar lives fine with just fairy heals and Adloquium. Oh and the massive difference fairy makes with attunemnt, but again.. no regen on whm in 30's.. so if you pop attument you are still quite likely to die, rather than getting full healed. Stoneskin too. Scholars can cross it but whm's don't unlock it to 34.
