Things currently wrong with frontlines that the community would like to see fixed

Enlighten me, o one who got rekt by garuda.

Lol this is a funny video, even if it was a lucky fluke by the summoner.

And, hey if we're linking winrates: XIVPVP has me at 57.82% lifetime, and i'm at 73% for the week :P

I think he was knocking the guy's individual match performances not win rate lol.

[Guesswhat]

Actually no. JP is much more about the zerg than NA servers. NA is very, very tame compared to a JP match. I was surprised when I first transferred at how crazy and active it was by comparison. I'm pretty sure adrenalin was replaced with Adderall.

Hmm, I haven't been there that long, but this far, in about every 72 match it's harder for dps to break through the plethora of tanks and smn pets (in those huge skirmishes that is) to actually do some useful damage. And if they happen to break through they will be bursted down in like 0.000001 secs. On chaos it's common to mark the heals. On mana they mark the tanks lmao.

I wouldn't say they are "all about the zerg", but they seem to be much more "meta". Which may or may not include zerging. What I appreciate most is the lack of retard/dgaf/yolo. I seen quite smart anti-sandwich moves where we actually move about to sandwich the sandwichers lmao. On chaos that would never happen with random pugs.

Either get rid of pre-mades or make it a 4/8 requirement. Went into a PUG and people were getting kicked for no reason in my party. At first I thought they were just dropping but it wasn't the case. This happend on Aether DC in Flames GC. I have an idea who were involved but SE doesn't appreciate naming names. Who cares about queu times if you're going into a match just to get vote kicked.

You're right that was a gross generalization on my part. Since the job is so popular now I've been stuck with some mediocre double ast heals sometimes and it gets frustrating to see at the end of the match my team having raked up so many deaths, with no one having gotten healed for more than 50k hp cause the astros couldnt keep up (which forces me to switch to whm to help midway way through the match).

I feel ya. Remind yourself though that it'll always depend on the individual player's skill. Of course, any great player can do wonders on any of the healers. It just so happens AST is a nublet magnet because it's so easy to perform well with it because of Aspected Benefic. So easy in fact that they get full of themselves thinking they can survive anything. Here's a little feel-good video:

Whatever makes you think that??



oh...

I lol'd. I think what's especially telling is premade composition these days. Most of the good ones are rocking 4-6 SMNs and powering through everything. What I dislike about SMN is the risk vs reward balance. For a good melee, we could call it a high risk, high reward job. Good damage sure, but massed range can and will melt your face instantly if you get cocky or focus fired. SMN? All reward, zero risk. Massive burst and dot damage while standing at absolute max range, safe in a pack of other ranged DPS and while popping sprint freely without having to worry about enliven or invigorate. Or cast times for their burst. Honestly, if I was a BRD, I'd be even more disgruntled with summoners. SMNs are the mobile ranged DPS job that Bards were supposed to be, but then weren't after being hit with 'sweet spot' ranged dps nerfs that kill your damage if you put too much distance between you and your target. Or if the enemy gets too close. SMNs have no such concerns.

The trash Mael AST that Knives was probably talking about to begin with lol

You forgot the 1-2 blms per party spamming sleep on everyone so they can stack their lbs and then boast about their (premade) kill count.

Um no lol. I'm not even in that guy's server. I'm from primal not chaos >.>

I misinterpreted the quote so nevermind and this regard this. Since I'm on my phone I can't edit the comment but I see now you were referring to the bad Astros I mentioned earlier and not the one I was complimenting earlier lol. But uh since I'm not from chaos data center I will leave that video at no comment lol. I have no idea what things are like over there at that data center nor do I know any of their players.

[xxczx]

I could come up with a number of excuses for that video but that was plain bad play from me /o/

@Dimitrii, Chaos PvP is filled with hate and salt, it's hilarious. ANYTHING you do is probably recorded and shoved in your face at a later stage. 10/10 grudge players.
