+1 to you for trying to be funny.

I'm sure everyone who's done Frontline once would understand my previous post.

I'm sure everyone saw the humor in a little typo

relax man, its all in good fun

In my eyes, it isn't a problem facing 4 healers. Just yesterday, I fought against 3 WHM's/2SCH's who were in our OP. With only myself (SMN), a DRG, and a MRD, we were able to kill them off 1 by 1. And yes, they had 3 Med 2's up at once while using their pvp skills.

Honestly, the healers must not have known what they were doing unless you beat them using a limit + enkindle combo... Just looking at the 3 WHM if they keep 2-3 medica IIs up and also use regens (they should be!) that more than negates your dots and in one tick will surpass the damage you put into them using fester as healing. The SCH bring fairy heals and 6 lustrates every minute and with that combo you can CC at most 3-4 of them at once... I don't care what your burst is like, if a healer is there to watch it freely and there are 3+ HoTs on your target they aren't dying without limit.

They had regen up as well. And no, no limit breaks were used in the case I'm referring to. Once people get better at maximizing dps, there shouldn't be a problem with 3-4 healers. There's been many cases where I've faced off against 3-4 healers and have gotten both positive and negative results. Mostly just depends on the make-up of the team. By myself, it's obviously impossible. But with a group of people that knows how to use their dps's properly, it's totally possible. You can say it's not as many times as you like, but it really doesn't bother me.

What are you, 10? Every GC has the ability to queue with a group of healers, it's luck of the draw. That's how it's intended to work. If you don't like it, queue for Wolves' den, the more "Fair" PvP...

3 healers with idea of PvP vs 3 dps = no way to beat them, even doing your maximum dmg. But think w/e u want.

Its weird. I find the better stack is 2 healers 6 blms. If you get a group with 6 coordinated blms they will have 6 healers down in a few GCDs. If you can't stack blms which is so much win. Monks and Paladins need to each take a healer and have everyone burst from healer to healer. The interrupt rate when you have a monk or paladin on you is huge.

The real problems I see is 1) Learning curve for non stack groups is bigger. 2) more coordination from PUGs make people unhappy.

I had a good day today 12 wins and 2 losses. No group had more then 3 healers. Skilled Black Mages are God's of Destruction. Will there be a nerf probably. This much whining usally equals one. But it is not the be all end all strategy. If they required you could only change jobs in the starting area that might lower some of the complaints.

Take a look in arena ! You'll see how its unbalance even with hard matchmaking restriction...

Actually arena is quite balanced assuming both sides have equal morale...I've had intense matches vs such teams and I miss those times because no one ques for it anymore

Edit: Sleep used to be a bit insane if you didn't use resist materia for it, but other than that it was very well balanced.

Good thing you can just view things in a vacuum.

Even though everyone seems to like to do that.
