PvP Duels

[Slappah]

Yeah this really needs to be a thing.

Idk if they'll actually ever implement this but they seriously should.
It's something extremely simple that would benefit the PvP aspect of this game a LOT.

Dueling would be fun but it would require even more severe balance than what we have now.

Healers, especially SCH would be pretty much invincible and just whittle you with DoTs.

If Healers were somehow banned, WARs would dominate.

Doesn't really work in this game.

Its a duel, you do with friends to kill time.
stop trying to put so much regulation in the game.

Some of the best times in WoW where coming up to random outposts and finding groups dueling.
It made the world feel really alive.
FFXIV could use some alive.

How are you even gauging this? There's not many opportunities in this game for a 1v1 to happen. I'm kind of curious how you came to this conclusion. Do you have a source for any of this?

I experimented in WD back when it was only the pvp.
I would let my team die off or tell them to back off while we let the sole survivng enemy try to fight 1v1.
I could just afk and put regen on my self and tank could never phase me. Or a dps who try to do mlg trick shot no scope on me but doesn't matter cuz stoneskin + 1 cure 2 = invincible.
Also forgot if they changed it or not but using attunement and upgrading it to shorter recast time made u a god when it comes to LB dodging.
Where did i get this from? Experience in the " original " pvp that is called wolves den.... Then there's scholars.
Swiftcast summon -> sprint -> dots dots dots-> win.

I didn't quite get this reference lol.

Anyhow, I could see SE making an effort to make duels balanced. They already nerfed individual skills for pvp like BLM swiftcast.

Duels don't need to be and shouldn't be balanced.

They simply need to be a thing. To exist.
To be implemented.

Don't do any changes to accompany it. Don't make it ilvl sync when you duel. Nothing.

Simply put in the option to right click-challenge to a duel, to anyone with certain zone restrictions (not in main cities-limsa/ul'dah, etc.)

That's it!
