Last night I had an unranked healer in 13 of 16 matches. It's always fun as a melee to be paired with new and inexperienced healers with the current meta being to ALWAYS burn the melee first since they never have the defense buff. It was so bad I started conceding the attack buff as well (something I never do unless there's a war on my team) since I wasn't living for more than 10 to 15 seconds at the start of engagements anyway. Couple that with all these fking nins on primal pretty much guarenteeing an advantage at the start of the match since they can use hide to avoid this new meta while DRG and MNK can't (though monk at least can pop fist of earth, on drg either I stand and die or try to kite and do no dmg in the process).

Damn this morning was brutal. Game after game i had to compete with the top sch on primal. I won a few but it was exhausting as hell due to the fact the dude does not let up. Overall i think it improved my game which is good. now to get to silver > >

If you come into The Feast wearing any of the PvP gear, people are probably going to laugh at your ass, ask you what you're doing, and probably call you a noob.

PVP gear is only good in the sense that it generally doesn't have all that excess accuracy lore gear has. Thus ppl use it to min/max the stats they want (generally trying to max crit and then det on most dps). Of course no full set of PVP gear is gonna be the optimal set to wear that's why you mix and match and given that the ilvl sync is so low there's no shortage of gear to play with. I'm not sure what you mean when you mention the melds on PVE raiding gear as its disabled and useless in PVP. Most sets will consist of a mix of pvp and pve gear depending on the stats on said gear and what the person is trying to max.

This, I'll use the MCH 220 BiS helm (dex :68 vit:78 acc:62 sks:43) for PvE vs the MCH 205 PvP head (dex:60 vit:63 det:53 sks:39) as examples. Killing off accuracy to maximize the sync of my det is more optimal for PvP. As others stated, a full set isn't good or useful with the no morale/no materia rule, however, you can aim to maximize your lower spectrum stats on sync with a fusion of pve/pvp gear.

what a really out of touch and uneducated statement

**Daimera** · 04-22-2016 04:11 AM

I would like to have solid The Feast teames in 4vs4 light party, because the carrying that some high ranked players do is something I cannot approve. What is your opinion about this?

Honestly I've seen the top 25 people derp more than the lower tier people. There's maybe 5 people on the top 100 that I can legitimately say are carrying their matches. This is all coming from primal btw.

What Daimera is talking about, assumingly, is people in The Feast Light Party que, high ranked players take in lower ranked players to increase the points they gain for each win. When you're a full team of silvers/golds you get ridiculously miniscule rating points, like 1s or 2s, for each win. But when you have say 1 or 2 silvers and the rest unranked or bronze, you get more points.

In essence, higher ranked players are carrying low/unranked players to bronze-ish to get more points for themselves. Basically abusing the system is what I'd like to categorise it as.

Ah, alrighty. I honestly didn't even know this was a thing.
