thisx1000000. shit eats my surecast then if by chance the bard doesn't use it, a pld/war is right there to stun me over and over to make it known that i cannot cast.
BLM.
AOE Sleep with Freeze with instant Firestarter poc Fire 3s critting for 1.6k dmg followed by Phantom Dart and Swiftcast Flare.
Yeah. Not to mention aoe sleep/freeze + LB2 = gg wp.
Fun fact: you can Purify Holmgang and leave the WAR standing.
Bards are certainly the most annoying, though Mist Veil (I believe that's what it's called, the skill that reduces someone's range. SMN has it, no idea which other classes/jobs can use it) is a fun thing to use with that :P
I myself main a DRG and started Frontlines with that, but SMN is infinitely more fun, since I won't have to chase after every single person ever and I can just pop on some dots and wait for someone to die.
Melee classes have always had issues in any pvp from my experience regarding ranged classes (not enough ways to break the gap etc.), so I'm interested what Ninja will bring to the table in a few months time.
it just me or Mnk so weak vs DRG
from what i've seen. BLM's.
Nothing infuriates me more than a Scholar, and if there are two, say goodbye to your capture point.
BRDs. I just can't take them. I can slow them, sprint, and stun them, yet they still somehow constantly smack me around with their arrows. Infuriating!
O_o I've had very little problems with BRD as a MNK. All I've been doing is using the speed boost from fist of wind to position myself, switch to fist of earth, and initiate the combo's on them. Once they start their backflip I've had enough luck to get the dash in before the root takes place (or they get trigger happy and don't get far enough for the root to matter) and proceed to stick on them.
In team fights I've learned to forget damage as mnk and go for my strengths. Constantly removing buffs with one ilm punch, and silencing with arm of the destroyer, it doesn't lead to personal kills or much damage but the harass is clearly noticeable in how fast white mages die big fights.
However, if there was one that I absolutely hated to fight it would be SCH. They just don't die ,_,
Bard. Th fact that I can bind them and they can still target me is ridiculous. Not only that but when they are running away and still shooting. I feel their character should be facing someone for the entire cast time of a weaponskill or something.
I hated bards in pve.... Screw them in pvp, they are like roaches. So many and they never die lol
