Most overpowered job in frontlines?

[Mook_Mook]

A. Scholar whm bard
B Summoner blm
c Mrd paladin
d monk drg

Bard shines i groups as the ycan shut down a healer. following him preventing casts this is teh only reason bard is top tier is they are good in groups at just keeping healer interrupted. can solo most dps classes losses to healers
A scholar can solo any class as they are the best. even when being chased aeos does a lot of work add on 3 instant cast lustrates its hard to shut them down.
Whm has too much cc and utility repose knock back stun heavy on top of cures decent damage in a pinch
Summoner has decent damage and utilty garuda helps a lot with push back
blm is hard to place but if left to there own devices can do really good damage but right now level 1 limit is too good
mrd - no gap closer makes its hard for them they can distract a healer but once you have stun on cool down and holm gang you get to play nas car with sprinting healers
paladin - more cc than mrd makes them useful at herding and at shutting down characters but doesnt bring too much to the table
Monk - ok damage and shoulder tackle is nice, not enough hp armor and no escape from combat once you are in the fray you are stuck more or less
drg same as monk add in on command stun and elusive jump, a better class i feel but still weak comparatively.

You would never kill me as a Paladin ever. You've come against some poor Scholars if you think you're Healer's Bane.

I do love a challenge. =D In all seriousness you're correct that a lot of Scholars that know their role have generated much rage from me and laugh at the attempts I've thrown. Usually have to co-ordinate my DPS to attack at the same time when I hit Full Swing.

I'm just bias for my PLD. Really rate Frontline in general. =]

[Miakyo]

Personally I've thoroughly enjoyed PLD the most and the bias in me would stick to it as being "OP". ;P

Stun spamming and Spirits Within; coupled with Full Swing with enhanecment III makes you the perfect healers bane. The DPS isn't all that bad either. =]

Every job has a role, it is just people have yet to figure them out yet. As such, some jobs will seem absurdly OP right now... In the end, it's all down to personal preference. I love peeling and disrupting with my MNK though.

Indeed, SCHs are immortal and BRD is the most annoying thing ever u.u

Not immortal... I was just stood at the Flames's Outpost and eight of them didn't take kindly to me capturing it on my own. :-)

I'm SCH main in pve and pvp and yes, I definitely feel being a force in frontline.
1v1 I can kill anything, even 1v2.
The burst damage a scholar (or a summoner) can unleash is amazing. (Ruin2+Energy Drain x6)

Don't forget Aero + Bio. They do some damage and are instant casts, something very valuable in PVP.

It's really hard to make a judgment call about 'most OP class' because anyone can focus and stomp down someone pretty fast, as long as they are coordinated. Healers can't keep up with so many people bashing on a single person at once. One amazing example of coordination I saw from a really coordinated team: we were camping the flag, loosely spread out. Someone ran in and did an AoE stun, followed immediately by caster LB. We didn't stand a chance. The same goes for AoE bind, I believe, as it will be equally effective.

Bane is really fun as SMN, and has a lot of damage potential, but only if people are actually standing close to each other. If you see a SMN, pay special attention to spread out... even if you are camping the flag. If you learn the Bane radius (it's pretty similar to the animation), you can annoy the SMN attacking you and make their dots less effective because they can't spread them. Really, the same goes for any AoE class. Just don't be standing too close to your teammates.

I agree that BRD are annoying to deal with because they are ranged, can continue to shoot even while moving, and will interrupt my casts with their hits. I can pop equanimity (and I do) to get my initial dots off, but they are at a distinct advantage if there is something around that they can use to pillar. If they can shift back and forth around a pillar the entire time to stop my casts, I am at a huuuuuge disadvantage. But, frontlines is about group play and 1v1 is never going to be balanced.

You know what's really hilariously funny though? If you're facing a team that's gathered up, but isn't focusing hard on any one person in particular. On WHM, you can throw up a medica 2 for the AoE regen to offset damage, then cleric stance and holy spam in the middle of the group. You'd be surprised how many people DON'T run away from the AoE radius (which is already pretty large). :O

As time goes on, the general knowledge about what to do and what not to do in battleground-style PvP will increase, and people will be less likely to fall for the 'tricks'... such as baiting (one person overextends and the group chases them, and then they get ambushed). Happy hunting with PvP and I like that so many people are enjoying it.

pretty much the only way i go down as a sch is if they use melee lb. it actually usally ends up taking 2 groups to take down any group im in. especially because groups tend to try to gang up on me making it easy for me and my fairy to keep me alive while the dps wipes the other group. I really think the key to being a good scholar in frontlines though is knowing how and when to use your pvp skills.
