Lowering Rupt chances by ranged attacks?

[x037x]

I'm wondering personally if a blm is able to kill a bard 1vs1 in frontline pvp later on.

No. The only way I see that happening is a BLM popping equanimity and unloading his nukes on the bard. Once equanimity is gone you can probably surecast / swiftcast sleep him and run away.


As far as avoiding interrupts all you have is 20 second equanimity, surecast, and swiftcast, use them wisely. Also know that while you are stone skinned you cannot be interrupted. If you think it's difficult going against a BRD as BLM.. try healing your team while a BRD is on you, not to mention also the tank and melee.

the same situation can be for blm, too. and yes you can sleep a bard or whatever... then he purges it.. then you swiftcast sleep him... maybe he get healed by a healer and then thats about it.

but well.

if i imagine a 1vs1 situation of blmvsblm in an open battlefield like frontier pvp (which is coming).... how it is going to work? spaming collapse over and over again on the opponent blm or how does a fight work? it shows that the battle pvp system is not well thought into the end.

Sadly it seems a BLMs main role in PVP is to simply CC as much as he can. BLM is at a huge disadvantage in a dueling atmosphere because all their viable damage has considerable cast times.
