Thread: Frontlines in 2.4

I am finding myself beginning to hate it, since 2.4 I am shocked at how much the caster classes are getting nuked and how much the mele classes are being buffed up put on a pedestal. I understand they have 'heavenward' coming and so they want more dragoon so they got buffed, sure. However I feel that mele classes with stun already had an advantage to begin with.

I just want to get feedback from other casters hurting from the total nuke since 2.4 and beforehand.

I have yet to get a crit over 800 in FL since patch, I am ilvl 109, rank 40 pvp and I think I'm going to give up on blm. They are stationary, easy targets, with low defence, easily interrupted casts and now low damage.

The only time BLM is useful is when a swift cast is up and available otherwise they are sitting targets, however swiftcast is as useless as a scathe now no matter what spell follows it in terms of damage.

DRGs in FLs had the hardest time prior to 2.4. Ask a DRG friend what he thinks of it.

Frontlines in 2.4: It doesnt exist lol. Everyone is too busy ninjering. lol

Sleep things, run away, Sleep things, run away. This is my FL experience now. I just asked a for help from a tank and got back:''You're on your own, my priority is killing healers." also i don't have friends in the same GC as me.

That's fair. SE needs to unrestrict FL a little to allow us to play with friends. It's really poor that we can't if we're in separate GC's.

You wanna talk hate for Frontlines? I was a SCH. I wasn't a huge Cleric Stance person but if I was by myself, I needed to defend myself.

If I went WHM, I didn't Holy spam because I needed to heal. Now the other WHM on my team can't stack healing spells with me.

SE basically told healers that they want us to be scared little lambs off to the slaughter house...ya know, even more than before.

So yeah, casters got nuked. Healers got nuked on both our offensive AND defensive capabilities. It sucks knowing that healers literally can only heal and die.

SE needs to understand that things in a PvP don't NEED to be balanced like how they are doing. It just needs to be fun. As it stands right now, I haven't been back to Frontlines since the healer nerf. I had already bought a shit ton of lube from before...I don't need to buy the factory to make it to keep my ass from being gangbanged.

I complained about this from a SMN's perspective http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-in-Frontlines and was basically told to "stop sucking". But yes, once swiftcast and equanimity are down mages are vulnerable. Spell interruption is ridiculous in Frontlines - 40 damage from BRD arrows interrupts spells wtf? How about giving mages Aquaveil from FF11 for a PVP skill? Same spell cast, recast and duration times.

thankkyoouu gaaaaaaddd, i was like am i the only one who realises the masssive nuke. YES, this is exactly my thought, what even.
