    Played old Frontlines
    Enjoyed it as healer for the tactics
    Everyone goes around the flags and makes it ok to heal even with the odd interupt

    Played new frontlines
    Hated it as healer for the black mage LB which two shots us while we sleep,
    then your team shouts at you for being a crappy healer.

    IF square was trying to make frontlines more popular and fun, Yeah it worked, FOR ALL THE CASTERS.
    As a healer I refuse to play it anymore.

    Lucky I have my swamgrace coat now, so I don't really care.

    Any one of the following: Thrill, Tesudo, well timed tank lb or a well timed healer lb can completely ruin a cometeor spam.

    If you have pvp'd professionally in other games, you should know how meta's and counters and strategy both develop and work.

    You still haven't told me exactly what I said that isn't true.

    Sleep. That is all.

    Tanks shouldn't be in the clump that is getting slept or you're bad.

    You also can break sleep using purify, you can also use purify on a slept target. You can healer lb immediately after the first cometeor, since it breaks sleep to negate at least 1 cometeor.

    Outside factors can also break sleep. A pld from the other team that scorned, a shadowflare on the ground people are standing in, the node AE.

    Additionally, you can also have good melee or tanks or a caster with a well timed sleep to interrupt LBs if they are playing with their head up and know what to look for.

    A single meteor is more than enough to kill a single or even multiple people. And no amount of defensive cds will save you from a spam, trust me I've tried, even under the influence of a tank lb, sacred soil, and focalization. You're gonna get hit hard.

    Put 4 points into vit, add a fending accessory. If you're going to be dumb and not ever try to counter, why even complain?

    We've survived cometeor spams multiple times and have also done coordinated sleep+cometeors that were properly countered yielding no kills. According to you, this isn't possible.

    I'm sorry what part of "tank lb, sacred soil, and focalization" didnt you understand? Counter? we've done everything possible to counter. Are you really that illiterate? Please tell me you havent witnessed a meteor spam wipe an entire team, b/c if you say otherwise it's a lie or you dont pvp much. If you can wipe an entire TEAM with a lb how is that not OP?

    If you have more than 4k hp, even a raw destruction won't kill you outright. Definitely not one Cometeor. I'm not saying it isn't powerful or that you can't use it to wipe a team, because you obviously can. I'm saying it's not as easy as one caster dropping one LB and killing an entire team. You're severely oversimplifying it, or playing really bad.

    Sure, it is different if you include damage buffs, hp buffs from the nodes and fever/high - but this is where some of the strategy comes in.

    If this is what you're saying then yes, I wholeheartedly agree. If I misinterpreted earlier, my apologies, because I thought you were saying something else.
