blm pvp (4 man)

[eternalkaiser]

they need to balace blm in pvp to where either the pvp move that lets you not get interrupted last base 25 ish sec or make it so at least rng type phy brd/meh wont interrupt your cast,

cuz orther then the 10 sec cd and 240/180 recast of it blm is just a scathing all day i dont want ti to be op but just some sort of viable in low man, or at least make it so you wont stop casting when they run to the other side of you.... want to know what you think cuz the rank will be only solo 4 v 4 and it seems kind of shady that blm is really a job that can get shut out fast. also i smn more then blm i just find it unfair

In every PvP content, there is always that one class that gets the short end of the stick over another. Take Slaughter for example. BLM/SMN/BRDs all ruled at that content, and melee classes would get obliterated trying to even approach the enemy lines. They made better decoys to for your own range units then they did being on the offensive line. And before they added unlimited sprint, being a melee in PvP was pretty annoying. You had to deal with positionals, and casters could take advantage of sprinting and casting Aero, Ruin II, and Scathe all on the go, slowly DPSing that poor melee who couldn't keep up, watching as his health slowly ticked away. I think this time however, the advantage might be siding more towards the melee classes. But at last you have AoE sleep and caster LBs. I'd kill to get that on a melee class in PvP.

I am currently a BLM main and I tried the 4v4....I am actually leveling monk for it now. I imagine zero changes will occur for it. Like someone else was saying every mode of pvp has its top classes and it's classes that get the short end of the stick.

Nobody forces melee to chase ranged class in openfield w/o sprint/gap closers if they did this then they were retarded, hugging rocks/walls/pillars forces ranged to come to you if they are out for the blood, if not then they will give up and go away. I agree with slaughter tho but if you were melee in there it was best to go down and gank respawners at jump pad, that way you actually contributed as you cutout enemys "supply line" too bad this wasnt really a common strat but when it happened it usually was a game changer.

Considering that they almost never balance classes for PvP, I'd say the chances of this happening are slim to none. It's nice to not be almost useless as a Ninja this time around though.

Due to the way shields work, you should pray or queue with a SCH/AST, and hope they can keep shields up on you. If an enemy does 0 damage to you, it won't interrupt spells.

Kinda shows you how they see PvP in this game when a class is clearly awful and they most likely wont do anything to change it even with a ranking system.

Didnt they do several PvP balance changes this in 3.2 and 3.21?

This is what the armory system is for. You can play every class or job with your character. If BLM is not suited for the feast -> go for another job

Only time I've seen a BLM do well in 4 v 4 is when both sides had one. Ours was more proactive with sleeps- very easy win.

Other than that, it is almost always true that the side with a BLM loses, provided the opposing team has even a basic understanding of XIV's PvP (and knows what the heck Purify is).
