Spellcasting in PvP

[Red_Wolf]

This thread makes me want to torment you BLM even more.

If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

PS. To you "seasoned veteran" PvPers, search up this thing called "peeling". It's a pretty nifty tactic that your (hopefully capable) teammates can do to support you.

Peeling and CC in general works in about 10-25% of the PvP matches I've been in. Melee like you just spam AoE's and attack lifeless enemies like it's your job. Not to mention anything from a nuke to a baby auto attack from a wayward summoner's pet will break CC.

The sad part is sometimes the only one you can successfully CC is the other team's healer. No one ever attacks them!

It takes one bard with auto-attack to completely shut down 70-80% of a caster's abilities. What sacrifice does melee take in comparison?
