Dumb stuff in pvp.

[NessaWyvern]

Alright, my saltiness has increased to the amount in which I have decided to make a thread pointing out the many mistakes in pvp I have seen. Post your experiences too if you wish!

1: People not knowing that pvp abilities exist. :|

2: Edited: People using blood for blood, and keeping it on when they are being smacked up.

3: People not using Oaths/Sects/stances w/e. It resets before the match, and spending half the match telling them "<insert name here> Oath please! <insert name here> Sect please!", and then having people call you a jerk because you keep trying to tell them to put it on.

4: Tanks (mostly PLDs) taking def buff. You guys are tanky enuf as it is, let a ranged dps/healer have it ;-;

5: Having 7+ medal stacks and then staying in the fray, being a dps rather than being tanky and hiding.. Lost 5+ games in 3 hours from this. ;-;

6: Not using purify despite a bazillion of nasty debuffs like Mch, wildfire clock thingy, vul. up debuff from full swing, sleep, that nin debuff, Phantom Dart etc. I'm always having to use my purify on others because they won't use theirs for some reason ;-;

7: other people not picking up medals when the tank has 5+ stacks.

8: People not knowing about their pvp rotations that are excellent in pvp. For example bards that don't use barrage + empyreal arrow. Ever. Or Plds that don't know about the healer lockdown they can use. (From seeing it done to me it's 3x stuns, silence, then knockback)

9: Ranged dps not kiting and staying in melee range of their enemies the entire fight. It gets real hard to heal ;-; makes me oom trying to keep you up, and then you still die.... which leads me to my next point.

10: Bards/mch not using manasong/report on healers with low MP.

11: Staying on Eos the entire time. Why. Just why....

12: People not LoSing BLMs that have leylines up, who has also used Phantom Dart on them. F*CKING RUN DPS, YOU'RE GONNA GET REKT. YOU CAN'T DPS WHEN YOU'RE DEAD. Plus, I go oom trying to heal them. I can only do so much, I am a healer, not a miracle worker.

13: This one blm who almost never goes over 50k dps, and hardly ever uses sleep. You know who you are. I went from 1003 rating to 870 because of you. (and a few other similarly bad people.)

14: PEOPLE SUDDENLY STARTING TO DDoS PINGZAPPER AS THE FEAST SEASON IS ON. WHY THE F*CK PEOPLE, WIN VIA NORMAL MEANS.

15: And finally.... People not even bothering to look for tips and tricks in pvp, and continuing to do all the things listed above ^


Basically I feel like people are jumping into rated far too soon, when they have more learning to do which they can do in 8v8, aka Training in the feast.

My frustration is growing to no end. I got paired 5 times yesterday with a DRG who doesn't use heavy thrust ever. Or a NIN who ended the fight with 62k dmg on a 8 mins duration. It's gotten to the point where I feel there should be a form of dummy practice to validate wether or not you are able to enter pvp. Or a form of pvp blacklist to chose with whom you don't want to be paired with ever again. Downgrading from silver to bronze because of terrible matchups.... No thanks.

But yeah, as healer it's always great to see people getting focused down with blood for blood on and never turning it off. I mean read the f*****g tooltip.

I encounter #7 all the time. One match we lost i was killed in the last 20 seconds because neither dps or healer would pick up medals despite me waiting till the last second of pick up and asking them too.

[Ragology]

I don't know how to pick up medals.

>_>

Do you just run over them or do you have to click them?

[kensatsu]

stay on them 1 sec to get it,
afterall everybody don't have the same experience but yes this is some of the dumb stuff we can do in pvp.
for the medals a tank can get 2 medals and he can already be at 4 stacks, so let the tank take the two first after you share the rest.
I still lack of experience about the adapatation, where my place is the better in the current situation it's a other but more complicated dumb stuff XD.

Gonna have to disagree on B4B. The time to turn it off is when you're getting focused. I have /statusoff bound for this. If you're being left alone and click it off you're throwing out free damage post-burst, possibly while re-applying dots.

I find that a lot of the tanks I get are too quick to pick up any medals they find. If I see that they're at 4+ stacks, I try to pick some up. But there have been many times where I run over to grab and the tank is just like "MIIIIINE!!" and then he has 10 stacks or something. -.-

[kensatsu]

i get trolled by this too, it would be great to have something to indicate how much stacks the coin is going to be before you get it

Omg this is funny. I've never seen this happen yet but then again I've only been in like 30 matches or so since this tuesday. Closest I saw to this was seeing the opponent healer once take his team's attack buff at the start of the match. Though idk how useful the defense buff is at the start of the match anyway. Now the standard has shifted from killing the ranged dps at the start to always killing the melee at the start of the match since they always lack the defense buff.
